People were sold on that remain bs. I bet others will soon jump ship.Also on an economic growth front.
From the article:
Britain sees fastest economic growth in 80 years... as EU left lagging
BRITAIN's bounce back from coronavirus will be complete in less than five months forecasts suggest, far quicker than the eurozone's predicted recovery.www.express.co.uk
BRITAIN's bounce back from coronavirus will be complete in less than five months forecasts suggest, far quicker than the eurozone's predicted recovery.
They predict the economy could recover to its pre-pandemic size by the end of this year.
The growth would be the fastest annual rise since World War Two.
Last time the UK saw such high levels of increase in GDP was in 1941.
EY's analysts said: "With the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions across the country, and the vaccine roll-out continuing to progress, the growth prospects of the UK economy have improved beyond previous predictions.
"The economy is now expected to return to its pre-pandemic peak by the end of 2021 – two quarters sooner than expected in April."
The forecasters added: "Now that people are returning to working, shopping and socialising, the UK is well-placed to achieve a strong bounce-back in growth.

Only the rich were sold on it and the muppets who believe everything the media writes of course.
Also those who bagged Johnson for pandering to business, are starting to look a bit foolish.
Boris Johnson Says Low-Paid Migrants Are No Answer to Labor Shortages
The British prime minister said he would press ahead with his government’s pledge to end the influx of low-paid migrant workers despite the country’s labor shortages, describing it as a radical change for the British economy.

Boris Johnson tells businesses: I can’t fix everything for you
Boris Johnson clashed publicly with business leaders yesterday as each side blamed the other for the recent economic upheaval. In a series of interviews the prime minister insisted that it was not his job to “fix every problem in business”, dismissing claims of labour shortages and supply chain...

You may be onto something @moXJO, according to this article, it's an interesting read.
Funny how the media disciples, who were telling us that the world was going to end for Britain, are somewhat subdued and have moved onto to other windmills.
From the article:
No country has been more dismissive of the UK's decision to leave the EU than France. That is, if the government of Emmanuel Macron speaks for the French nation as a whole.
But of course it doesn't — any more than Boris Johnson's political postures are embraced by the British as a whole.
Curiously, a poll last year showed that the British Prime Minister is more popular in France than President Macron.
One reason might be that the idea of bursting free from the constraints of EU membership is more appealing to the French than their political establishment ever likes to admit.
To be fair to Macron, when interviewed by Andrew Marr in 2018 and asked if the French would vote to leave the EU if offered the chance in a referendum, he replied: 'Yes, probably.
That makes it all the clearer why, in a letter to the President of the European Commission demanding that Brussels condemn and penalise the UK for withholding fishing licences in British waters from a number of small French boats, the French PM Jean Castex told Ursula von der Leyen: 'It is indispensable to demonstrate that it is more damaging to leave the EU than to stay in it.'
Full translation: if you don't do as we ask, even more French voters will think Britain did the right thing by quitting the EU and (among other things) regaining control of its waters.
Alas for Macron and Castex, the other EU countries did not care for the French approach, and so Brussels refused even to issue a statement criticising the British Government's interpretation of the Brexit trade rules as they applied to the fishing dispute.
This is especially damaging to Macron because he may well face his biggest challenge in the country's next presidential elections from one of two possible candidates who have praised Brexit: Marine Le Pen (who lost to Emmanuel Macron in the last presidential face-off) and Eric Zemmour, a television pundit.
While neither of these two advocates 'Frexit', Le Pen still describes the EU as 'a prison' and Zemmour last week declared: 'I don't like the mindset of wanting to constantly make the English pay so as to show the other EU states that they should not leave the EU. That is pathetic.'
It is precisely because Macron is worried that these opponents might have more appeal to France's sense of injured national pride that he seems to feel obliged to turn a minor dispute over fishing licences into some sort of Napoleonic mission against les rosbifs.
That is the background to the French PM's embarrassingly leaked letter to the EU Commission President, in effect asking her to make sure that in the fishing dispute, the British will be made to regret their secession.

EU member-states buckle under British economic pressure
ANXIOUS EU member-states are starting to buckle under the threat of Article 16, according to a GB News reporter, who said that Brussels could sacrifice Ireland in order to avoid a trade war.

Spot on @Humid, the working class in the U.K would have voted for anybody to get out of the E.U and stop the caravan loads of scab labour coming in from the EU.
The other issue was there wasn't much of a choice with regard leaders, Johnson and Corbyn, I mean is that really the best Britain can serve up?

James O'Brien is one of the most egregious tw@ts on the planet, who just happens to live and have a radio programme in the UK.
I wouldn't p¹ss on him if he was on fire.
However, astonishingly, on this occasion he is absolutely correct.
And... Having analysed the alternative, you guys don't know how it pains me to admit that. What a clusterf***.

The really funny part is, it was the blue collar workers in the U.K that voted him in.
Similar to what happened here, I wonder if Labor have got their grass roots voters back, or if they are still the party for the rich inner city elites?
Whats funnier is you voted our version in

And I will vote them out, I don't vote because I'm a cult member, I vote for who I think will do the best job.
I still think Shorten would have been infinitely worse than Morrison, so I'm still happy with my decision last election.
As I've already said, I think it is time for the Libs to do a spell on the bench, so I will vote accordingly.

Jeez that's a bit rough, you've only just finished paying to bring my family here and our job to educate you obviously isn't complete.
By the way, we came on a cruise ship, did yours come chained to the oars? ?
