A decade of brexit driven pay cuts.

The English have no idea at what expense leaving the European Union will harm their economy. It has to rank as a massive blunder. It is like watching a car crash in slow motion.

Not only a blunder, but look at the comments after news reports about it, and they're still in the "we won" mentality, and pretending that all the problems are caused by someone else.

Things don't change between countries, it would seem, every country has a majority of people who have no idea what's going on, and no idea how to solve problems and generally no idea.

Try telling a Chinese person they should have democracy, it's impossible now.

Before the EU, Britain was a worldwide empire.

Before the EU the UK was a basket case with a 3 day week and we were cap in hand to the IMF who ran our economy. You must be aware of that ?

Socialism sucks. No wonder every socialist nation in the world has a failed economy. Britain's experiment with socialism hurt them badly. Fortunately, they had Thatcher, amirite?

No, you ain´t. Britain´s economy bases on financial services and this is far from socialism. Also, Thatcher excelled in destroying Britain´s industrial economy.

Shows just how much you dont know as Britians economy was always based on heavy industry that the fat cats ran into the ground once it became nationalised. It is only VERY recently that we have relied on financial services to provide for our economy and we suffered a little less than most other nations because we still had some industry left. She streamlines our industry by getting rid of all the poorly ran and inefficient plants bringing down costs and hence prices

And staying in would be like being involved in the car crash and knowing you could have avoided it by changing the tires.

Try telling a moron that trading with the other 4/5ths of the world freely and unhindered is better than trading with 1/5th that imposes rules and laws that are untenable and they look blank

No, you are so wrong.

Show me a socialist nation with a thriving economy.

China

A country with 7% GDP growth and people think this is a slow down.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

It worked during 2 world wars and innumerable other conflicts didnt it. It is what made Britain great, and it only took the neo marxists 3 years to bring it all down

You simpleton. The Allies won both wars by working together. Britain would have been fucked on its own.

Now where could we apply that lesson today ?

Nice try, but 1) China is communist and 2) they had to set up a special economic zone for capitalism. You don't really believe the Chinese allow capitalist enterprises all over the country, do you?

A 50% reduction in a nations GDP is more than most could weather, so yes an alarming slowdown

Didnt see much from the allies after the Germans had over run them and it was left to little old Britain to pick up the pieces. Surrounded by sea and very little trade and we still held out, unlike the Scots and Irish who sold out and I believe the Welsh were ready to do a deal with Germany so we were fighting against traitors as well

Before the EU, Britain was a worldwide empire.

Actually Britain was a founding member. It was championed by (among others) Winston Churchill to enable the disparate European states to compete with the dominance of the US. So no, it was taking on a worldwide empire.

Yeah, sure

The German sole responsibility:
In the Austrian-Serbian conflict, Germany was in an alliance with Austria and Russia in an alliance with Serbia. France and Russia had an entente and Britain and France had an entente. German efforts to keep this conflict local failed. Russia was out in 1917 and has been replaced by the USA. Only the maxed weight of all this nations including Italy saved Britain from a defeat. This also applies for WWII.

Look up how the industrial sector suffered under Thatcher.

No. China is capitalism with some socialist elements still in place. There are privately owned production means and little worker rights.

Red China is not at all socialist, nor communist for that matter but an autocratic one-party kleptocracy with a massive divide between the few very rich and a poor working class. It has a command economy under the control of ultra rich party members.

And western companies love it there. So much that they accept the harsh conditions: They must accept joint-ventures with Chinese companies and transfer all their know how to Chinese authorities.

China is doomed to fail because the people are not free and will, no doubt, resist the so-called Communist Party.

I don´t think so. The living standard is improving and we will see Chinese goods taking over our markets in the coming decades. While western traitor politicians refuse to work for their countries, calling such an agenda "evil protectionism", China rubs its hands.

Even for a loon like you that is breathtaking.
