Consequently people who are in work or looking for work can commend higher wages - much needed now because of the rise in inflation (which this will add fuel to I acknowledge that) due to Ukraine/Russia and the Corona thing. Yet whilst we were in the EU and subject to freedom of movement, wages were kept low. So Brexit was a good thing and when the Ukraine/Russia thing sorts itself out people might begin to see that, even if they didn't agree with it in 2016.
Yes, I did put that in brackets as I'd heard it on the radio, but what is better or worse: high inflation and wages stagnant or high inflation and high wage inflation too? I would argue that the latter is better & is what is happening now. This cost of living crisis is mainly a result of the pandemic (thanks China) and the war in Eastern Europe (thanks Putin) so it can't be laid at the door of Dominic Cummings who masterminded the Brexit referendum shock result.
This is what is ruining the country. Our fucking economy and the group of thieves that are supposed to be managing it.
The UK. The only country in the history of the world to apply economic sanctions ....on itself. We have enough political loons of our own without dipper fans joining in.
