What is especially weird about this is the Sweden, like the UK, was never part of the eurozone.

The EU is broken and the Germans broke it with their usual greed and Hubris. Thank Goddness for Brexit. Swexit, Irexit, Italexit all gathering pace. Admit it Brussels, you goons have messed up and apologies on behalf of UK folk if remoaners in the UK made you think you were doing a good job.

It wold be interesting if an intelligent person would compare the two , the U.K and Germany and Germanies recession and U.Ks Brexit and if there's any relation between the two .

   Like, if Brexit was so bad for the U.K , then why is Germany in recession and the U.K isn't ?

Germany -0.5%
UK +0.3%

 

Delta 0.8%


And Germany already well ahead on post pandemic recovery.

An intelligent person would compare different countries, such as the G7 countries, and find out that UK is second worst after Germany in G7.

C9mpared to Germany, such a person would also find out that UK has still not recovered pre-pandemic level, and also that UK is rated AA-, while Germany is rated AAA.

I think you're touching on one of the motives for Brexit, the lessening role of the UK in the EU and the more dominant role of the Germans.

Based on outdated data from ONS (13 April).

 

From ONS, based on the latest revised data (12 May):

Quote:

"The first quarterly estimate of UK real gross domestic product (GDP) shows that the economy increased by 0.1% in Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2023 (Figure 1). This follows growth of 0.1% in the previous quarter. The level of quarterly GDP in Quarter 1 2023 is now 0.5% below its pre-coronavirus (COVID-19) level (Quarter 4 2019)."

Intelligent people would realise there are just three E.U Countries in the G7 Group and four of the G7 group are not members of the E.U and therefore the economies of Japan, USA and Canada have little relevance to that of the U.K when comparing the U.K to Germany

Me stupid! I thought the House of Commons economists and the IMF economists were intelligent people as they regularly use comparisons between G7 countries.

 

Anyway, even if you exclude the non-European G7 countries, UK is still second worst.

Yes, there are three E.U Countries in the G.7 Group and the U.K would either be the third best or the second worst  , depends on which way you look at it .

   Also , all Countries count their figures differently , so the rankings are not conclusive .

   I am not saying that the Italians are cooking the books , they would never do anything like that , oh no

Educated people understand the principle of ‘simultaneous equations’.

 

Ans to be frank, even that doesn’t require a lot of education’.

Those with better education can think critically. Learn how to digest information from many sources, not just the ones they agree with politically.

Thank you.

 
I didn’t like to say so myself, I’m rather reticent when it comes to blowing my own trumpet.

It could be said you are getting there. Seeing as your new, best buddy is Nigel Farage.

No, Farage is no buddy of mine, I’ve already said I despise the man.

 

But as you said it is important to consider information from sources of a differing political view point.

 

I did, and Farage very clearly said ‘Brexit has failed’.

 

On that point I have no disagreement with Farage.

 

Not a sunlit upland pasture insight. 

 

Brexit has failed.

Not as yet. Maybe not doing well in some areas. However, to say it has "failed" is impossible. 

 

You claimed to be well educated. How can you possibly think Brexit has failed when it hasn't finished? Strange theory.

I’m not going to argue with you about gaslighting of Brexit not yet finished.


You obviously missed out on the merchandising.

That is a failing of the Conservative government.

 

Not of Brexit.

And Labour have vowed to clamp down on immigration and make it more difficult for immigrants to come to the U.K .

  Another example of the Left and Right swapping sides 

 

Through the looking glass: Labour is now the low-immigration party

Keir Starmer is now more restrictive on border controls than Rishi Sunak

 

 

Something significant happened this week. Labour confirmed its position as a party advocating lower immigration than the Conservatives.

When a Redfield and Wilton opinion poll this month asked which party could be trusted to handle immigration, and 31 per cent of people said Labour, while only 24 per cent said the Conservatives, this reflected disillusionment with the government rather than approval of the opposition.

 

Public opinion believes that immigration is too high, and so when the figures reached successive record levels, as they have since the 2021 numbers were reported early last year, disapproval of the government followed.

I hardly think the Tories have become left wing. They are just even more far to the right than Labour.

The Left and Right labels do seem to be redundant these days , what with the Right wing Conservatives having non White /Female  people at the head of the Party and the Left wing Labour still plagued by anti Semitism and out breaks of extremely racist comments from their members , but they seem to expect a free pass because they are Left wingers

Sorry, that means nothing. If you are thinking of Suwella Braverman ticking "left wing" boxes by being female and non white than you have no idea what you are talking about. She is the most poisonous right wing MP we've had for a long time. Well since Priti Patel maybe.
