Farage has got a new bogey man, its not just the EU, Foreigners & Boris he hates.

Land owners are sitting on too much wealth & stopping Brexit been the wonderful sucess it should be.

I think Farage is really one of THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL, a genetic clone of Adolph Hitler
Taller isn't he ?

Farage will hate anybody if it gives him publicity and rouse indignation in his gutter troops.

No; rather to point out and emphasize that big changes - of whatever sort - take time. This was demonstrably the case when the UK joined the EEC, it is and will be the case in leaving the EU.

EUrophiles were still asserting this obvious truth over a decade after our accession, therefore it seems inconsistent - at the least - for them to refuse when a similar amount of patience is asked of them regarding our secession, wouldn't you agree?
same thing when Tony Blair became Prime Minister, fiscal lag meant that his first term was reaping the benefits of John Major.

I picked up the news yesterday reporting on the Chancellors budget that the Office of Budget Responsibility stated that Covid had a 2% negative impact on UK GDP but overriding this was Leaving the EU with a negative 4% effect. And an negative effect that would last for longer. Interesting.

Well as our trade with the EU was claimed to be 8% of gdp that claim would mean we had lost half of that which even the most ardent remainer has never claimed, it was only 6 months ago they said said covid would cost 6 % of gdp now it's only 2% sounds like typical economic predictions, pull a figure out of a hat.

The actual drop in GDP due to Brexit is in fact 6.8% not the 4% the being publicised today. As the OBR have hidden the additional 2.8% drop caused by the reduction in working population down to removal of freedom of movement.

Well the ons say net 3800 eu citizens left and 3700 uk citizens returned so those 100 less people in total must spend a lot of money according to statista they forecast that the uk gdp will drop by 2.25 % and the eu's by 0.75.
The 8 % of uk gdp was from 2017, so if uk gdp has dropped by 6.8% then we have stopped virtually all trade into the EU while according to the ONS it's down 5.4 billion while imports are down 7.2.
As always stats can prove anything and you believe who you want

That’s great it’s working out well for Ireland 👍
Plenty of downsides for Ireland in the Brexit fallout, but way more upsides than expected, including a large number of businesses moving parts of their business from the City to Dublin. The quiet move of companies has made our tax look way better than expected over the last couple of year, a very welcome and timely boost while dealing with Covid.
