Inflation - when is this going to end?

I really take issue with this point.

To post that leaving the EU is more damaging than what happened in World War 2 is truly deplorable. Yes, Brexit has been a complete disaster, but you can't compare it to genocide FFS!

To be fair to @Keeper!, he wasn’t talking about the totality of Hitler’s horrific, evil acts over the course of WW2, but rather the direct impacts on the UK.

But, even so, whilst Brexit has been an utter disaster in nearly every conceivable way, and will haunt us for decades to come, I do agree it is difficult to argue that it will be *more* damaging than the overall impacts of WW2.

The Second World War, if not for some fairly extreme interventions (primarily from the US, but also from other sources), could have lead to much, much more strife and squalor than it ultimately did.

And that is saying something, given the “we lived through WW2, we can live through Brexit” contingent—most of whom were born in the 60s or later—either have forgotten or never really experienced how bad things actually were during and after the war.

Thank you, that's exactly the point I was making.

This country has inflicted terminal damage on itself a quite incredible situation, we and the allies won WW2 but at enormous economic costs, through incredible hard work from the WW2 generation we incredibly recovered and then thrived, what did the offspring of the said generation do, just go and destroy the hard graft and sacrifice they made and have destroyed the futures of our kids and their kids, as said before, utterly shameful.

Most people moaning about Brexit wouldn’t last a week on rations, never mind any of the other shit that is a result of war.
