These are the same folks who claimed that Brexit was a great idea and would trigger some kind of economic boom. Personally, I'd be very wary of further claims by these proven liars.

@ElwoodBlues It was never going to be a boom. But Covid was a kick in the goolies for everyone that shifted the trajectory of both Britain and Europe as a whole at a time when being in the EU would have made sense.😷

@ElwoodBlues That bus was a straight out lie and exposed as such. Lets be absolutely clear what the plan was. A whole heap of agreements and plans at the commercial level were formulated on both sides of the channel where "the right people" made money out this with the support o0f government trade and tourism agencies. Those agreements were locked in safes to be pulled out on the seperation and everything would be "tickety boo". Boris was to handle the british side. But money was to be made on both sides.. Then Boris woulr esign after a short interval and take up board seats at various banks and financial institutions and ride off gracefully into the sunset..
Sadly, along came Covid, and shut down movement, trade, tourism and killed off a few million Europeans, which was also bad for business.. And the resumption of business with opening up was not the rosy picture they had been hoping for. Putin and the Ukraine also dragged the recovery off the path it was supposed to take. So a lot of people who were supposed to make money, didnt.. With no real upside and paper currencies being overused to support economies all over, the inflation we got was the obvious result. How governments deal with it will tell the tale.😷

@ElwoodBlues No-one claimed that Brexit would lead to an economic boom. You are the liar on that one.

@whowasthatmaskedman But being out of the EU was a considerable bonus when it came to Covid vaccines.
