Please say the fact and source it with the article instead of just linking to it. The reason you don't say the fact is because there is no fact in that article. What in that article proved to you that Brexit caused this? What explained the 4%? A comparison of post-Brexit, pre-pandemic GDP numbers is more reliable: https://www.businessinsider.com/moodys-brexit-impact-on-gdp-more-benign-than-predicted-2018-8 https://www.businessinsider.com/moodys-brexit-impact-on-gdp-... The pandemic clearly caused a drop in the GDP when it hit, Brexit did not. You have to PROVE why you think Brexit caused this dip in 2021 all of a sudden. You can't just say, oh look a dip finally happened, these things take time to kick in, it must be that thing I think was going to do it. All the way until the pandemic Brexit GDP was steady, not following the doomsday forecasts, only when the pandemic hit did the GDP drop. You can directly attribute shutting down the economy to a drop in GDP. You have not attributed anything to Brexit. - edit because I'm at my limit - First off, the point was the GDP was stead in 2018, post-Brexit, pre-pandemic. The reason you can't use 2021 GDP numbers directly is because we shut down economies due to covid. You linked two articles with the same "prediction", they did not have any facts linking Brexit to anything. Feel free to get angry and give up, but do note that nothing you have linked proves Brexit caused the dip in GDP at all. I'm not claiming anything, I can't prove a negative. You have the burden of proof if you are trying to say X caused Y.
