- TheOtherHobbes 4y agoEven if that were true - and it isn't - countless export-oriented businesses have been shutting down because it is now insanely bureaucratic and uneconomically expensive to trade with a bloc that is just over 20 miles away. The lies told to get Brexit over the line normalised a period of exceptionalist reality-denying insanity which has spilled over into Covid policy, economic policy, climate policy, health policy, energy policy, immigration policy [1], transport and logistics, media credibility, and political stability. It is - without any exaggeration at all - an absolute shit show. No one earning less than a few million a year has benefited in any lasting or significant way. Certainly not big-picture economically. [1] Pandemic aside, Brexit has had no impact on immigration numbers. https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/long-term-international-migration-flows-to-and-from-the-uk/ https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/lo...
