Could we put a monument / statue up to serve as a reminder what folly Brexit was?

Only if the plaque states what a roaring success it was supposed to be and to look up why it wasn’t.

Principally, that by putting up barriers to trade with our closest neighbours, of 450m people with whom we had free trade for 25 years was seen as a patriotic kickstart to the economy.

Just with that small paragraph, people would wonder “how the fack did that ever come to pass”

Britain and its people will be used as a case study in where mass media manipulation, misinformation and jingoism can lead a nation.

(1930’s apparently is too long ago)

In the context of what we now know, some of this stuff is COMICAL.

"Outside the Customs Union, shoppers could buy the cheapest products available, saving us all real money."

"According to some, leaving the Customs Union would see EU-bound exports backed up for weeks."

Fun fact, the quotes attributed to this person is in charge of the UK economy. Fun times!!

In the wider population, wages are set to fall next year after inflation.

It means the last decade has been the weakest decade for pay growth since the 1930s.

By May 2024, real wages will have grown by just 2.4% since 2008 - compared with a 38% real wage increase between 1992 and 2008.

By 2026-27, tax as a share of the economy will soar to its highest level since 1950, a £3,000 increase for every household since Boris Johnson became Prime Minister

I hope all of those poor folk that voted for these mugs are grateful for this

Middle-income families are set to be worse off next year amid rising costs and tax rises, says an independent economic think tank.

Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), said that inflation and higher taxes on incomes would negate small wage increases.

The government's forecaster warned on Wednesday that the cost of living could rise at its fastest rate for 30 years.


Would LOVE to hear Sat Nav’s thoughts on this!

He told us above. It's everyone's fault on here as we all want to print money and have to live with the consequences.

The guy is a moronn. That people consider him some kind of valid sociopolitical commentator is laughable.

Just spouts self-contradictory, pseudointellectual nonsense day-in, day-out, flip-flopping and apologising his way through his plain lazy cerebral meanderings.

If I was feeling generous, I’d suggest that this is yet another ploy to capture headlines and drive engagement.

Either way, he continues to represent manna for the ‘sick and tired of experts’, anti-intellectual, anti-science brigade.

It is.

Fact Contract given to Malaysians company in March 2020
Fact Government say that DD was done and nothing substantiated
Fact October 2021 US Customs ban accepting goods from this company

Satty I thought you said they didn't know about it. Now you're saying they did but it wasn't substantiated.

You will also know that in procurement it doesn't have to be substantiated for them to be denied the opportunity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They didn’t know about it; their statement says so. The 19 month gap is also something you seem to be avoiding
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Fact Government say that DD was done and nothing substantiated"

So did they or did they not know about it? Did they not have a clue or was it known but not substantiated? Come on, surely you can see the contradiction so be kind enough to confirm.

He used to be ok and his MMA shows were the best there was, but he was always prone to the odd conspiracy theory, but it wasn't this bad.

Appears from initial reading to be a failure in due diligence. Not entirely surprising in March 2020 when due to lack of effective pandemic planning (which I think we all agree was a material and significant failing of consecutive conservative governments) money was being thrown around.

I recall reading the operation Cygnus findings stating that if the Government gave a threat (pandemic) status "high infectious disease" status, they would be required to roll out PPE at a national level.

However as PPE stockpiles had not been addressed, and were woefully under stocked, the Government downgraded/declassified the CV19 status in March 2020. And as such weren't obliged to roll out PPE to a national level.

We also thought we could make a quick buck by selling off our stockpile to China in February

I saw an Instagram video this very morning featuring one of these ubiquitous ‘wellness’ (oh, the facking irony) influencers instructing her followers how to nebulise and inhale a concoction of saline solution, hydrogen peroxide and iodine in order to sterilise their lungs.

These people are going to kill their followers, plain and simple.

It’s quite simple

They carried out DD and nothing was found. So they did the deal, 19 months later another country has banned them.
