I don’t think this is supported by the facts, as much as Brexit was a dumb idea.
- ben_w 3y agoI'm umming and erring on this one — "irrelevant" feels much too strong (even NK isn't "irrelevant"), but OTOH "becoming" implies a direction of travel rather than a state, and every impression I have is that the UK doesn't matter as much as it used to.
- petesergeant 3y agoThis has been true since the early 1900s, so one’d need to show a markèd increase in the rate of derelervance
- ben_w 3y agoYeah, that's fair.
