The UK has always been able to and always has traded with the rest of the world.

 

Well it hasn't helped.

It might not have helped you, but I, and many people I know, did rather well working in ‘the rest of the world’ (including Thailand) for a British company during the period the UK was a member of the EU.

Working abroad out of the EU was where I did well.

I did rather well working in the EU too.

 

But thank you, you’ve just proved my point, the UK being a member of the EU did not prevent the UK businesses or Citizens from trading and working anywhere.

Good news in the UK finance world and predictions that inflation will be halved by the middle of next year.

Nothing is going to be done until the Government admits the damage from Brexit, or the Government is replaced by one that admits the damage from Brexit.

Well yes, that’s because inflation is calculated over a 12 month period.

 

By mid 2023 the recession will have been reducing demand by over 7 months while price rises from Spring 2022 will be removed from the calculation.

 

The base increase in prices will however remain.

 

Do you have any predictions for rent/mortgage arrears, evictions and repossessions?

COVID and the war in Ukraine have been a problem, but :

 

A. They were not self inflicted.

B. Their impact is diminishing by the day.

 

Not so Brexit.

How much you will be paying outside of the UK is of absolutely no relevance to the topic under discussion.

But it's untrue that Brexit has affected everybody.

I’ll refer you to the topic of discussion, you’ll find it at the top of the thread.

Brexit has effected everyone in the UK, some very badly, a few hedge fund managers who provided the financial backing for the Leave Campaign have made fortunes, by placing bets against the UK.

Especially when they are referencing Government Watchdogs trashing Tory unsubstantiated claims about Brexit successes.

Like, I am here in England and quite content  with the current situation in the U.K and I am quite happily living post Brexit in the U.K and there's a French guy online living in Thailand trying to convince that the UK should re-join his France in the E.U.

Another cheap and transparent attempt to make it personal. You've got nothing.
