Just reading the Brit govt's own figures covering the post-Brexit economic benefit (not!!) to the country and not surprised to note that all of Johnson's new post-Brexit trade deals put together will have an economic benefit of just £3-£7 per person over the next 15 years. Analysis by academics at Sussex University Trade Policy Observatory have highlighted that the tiny economic boost, amounting to just 0.01%-0.02% of GDP, and less than 50p per person pa, is dwarfed by the economic hit from leaving the EU, which the govt estimates at 4% of GDP over the same period. It suggests the free trade agreements "barely scratch the surface" of the UK's challenge to make up the GDP lost by leaving the EU. Johnson boasted of the deals creating a "new dawn" and representing "global Britain at its best", but just two of the dozens of deals announced since the UK left the EU are expected to have any measurable economic impact at all. Official estimates from the Office for Budget Responsibility point to a Brexit loss of more than £1250 per person over the coming years - more than 178 times the most optimistic prediction for the benefits from the trade deals. That dream of a so-called "Brexit dividend" has turned into the economic nightmare that has been highlighted/predicted on SM boards like this one. I'd luv to force this financial detriment ONLY ON ALL THE STUPID PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR THIS "LIE" AND COULDN'T SEE BEYOND THE OBSESSION ATTACHED TO THE IMMIGRATION LIE. IMO for a lotta these people, it's STILL about immigration!! And as long as Johnson keeps "kicking out foreigners" these voters don't give a f### what else he does - Brit nationalism gone mental!!
