This just moving goalposts, before it was supposed to be funded better, now keeping it as it was before is seen as a success? Does it mean you admit that it achieved nothing?
> 2) Did the country get less poor? Yes.
Highly debatable, especially regarding the economic damage, some people lost their jobs, some businesses permanently closed (including some I knew). I admit the economic damage is a bit hard to separate from covid now but it's clearly real.
Edit: Actually now that I think about it, the sole reason my current company is so well funded is that a lot of investors tried to move to continental europe to diversify following brexit. I'm sure this will have some long term consequences.
> 3) Do you mean migrants? Of course there aren't fewer of them, the EU is sending them to the UK as fast as they can. You need a better government, not membership in the EU.
Source? I mean, this is just 100% invented.
- viktorcode 5y agoI disagree that 2) is debatable. You can compare the GDP numbers from the rest of the EU and UK after the referendum. The difference is clear.
- hardlianotion 5y agoWhen you split them out by country, they do look less clear. France, for instance.
