To think the UK is sleep walking into an economic disaster

[HerstoryInTheMaking]

Covid is obviously doing significant economic damage and harm. The UK public seem to have not embraced mask wearing as a prevention to spread meaning further outbreaks are likely as the virus lingers in the air according to scientists.

On top of this Govt stimulus seems to be too small for the crisis that we face despite promises of a new deal. The stamp duty cut appears to be a blatant attempt at keeping house prices artificially high when a correction is needed especially in the South East.

A transition agreement extension is now impossible and little progress has been made on trade talks with the European Union. Regardless of your stance on Brexit it appears that a No deal scenario would create economic harm to some degree in the short term.

So you have a severe recession that could get worse with a no deal cherry on top, whilst being led by a govt that hasn't exactly proved its competence in recent months.

Aibu to think we should run for the hills?

We don't need Westminster's to hold our own

You do for it to have any legal significance. Sorry to say you're stuck with the Tories and Brexit like the rest if us. Awful isn't it?

YABU to think we are sleep-walking. We are proudly marching into the sea waving Union Jack'sand singing Rule Britannia as the waves close over our heads.

We (as a nation) chose this. Once in 2016 and again last December. Let's hope we like it as much as we thought we would.

That Kent lorry park and the security measures across the whole county to make it work is going to be a blast

Hilarious! I wish I could be a fly on the wall when the penny drops for some of the people who voted for this as to how badly they have screwed themselves. Willing to bet it will come when we start changing our working regulations to align ourselves with our real masters, the US (15 days holidays max, 3 days max sick pay, no maternity etc.).
