Surprised at this tbh, considering all the glowing reports I am receiving from my friends in the UK. I'd like to see a graph on "standing on your own two feet" trends since Brexit

Are the fellas in Ireland aware that theres a war on?

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more.

I guess, as a thicko, that making it harder to sell stuff abroad is a bad idea. Can vote them out though. Which is a Brexit benefit we have had for about 300 years.

So tax cuts for their mates, while joey mug like me get taxed to oblivion. Sounds about right.

Not Blue ones, which mean, in return, you have to queue for beards to go to France. Kin brilliant.

My passports always been blue, thanks to an Everton cover! We didnt need Brexit for that.

Time to reform wholesale this corrupt edifice.

Tbh I can't explain that. From my admittedly rudimentary understanding of economics, we are a small open economy that is hugely reliant on foreign investment and, as such, more exposed to any singularly extreme events that impact the global market. The opposite should be true of the UK who, I was also led to believe, should be better able to weather this kind of crisis, generally speaking.

Who knows what the difference is, very hard to know why Ireland is doing so well and the UK doing so poorly since they both experienced Covid and the Ukraine war all the same. I doubt anyone will ever be able to explain it

Impossible to say really.

Might it be one has a competent government, and one doesnt?

These things tend to rot from the head.

This is why they lie so much, because they know full well they'll get away with it.

It feels as though in recent times, politicians feel more emboldened to lie as they know there’ll be no repercussions. News cycle will be onto something else next day and people get more angry about wokes and transgender athletes anyways.

This is why Labour need to go to town on this and introduce real regulations to govern the accuracy of what politicians say during campaigns, during office, and during opposition. They can't get away with willfully misleading people if we want to trust politicians.

True, we’ve talked about this before. Would be such an easy win. Unfortunately Labour advisers seem to be utterly hopeless.

Wow, I didn’t realise that Brexit had such an effect upon Germany…..
