One need only learn basic Economics to understand why, for example, the UK GDP is about 4% lower in the past 8 years.  And why even some third world countries have larger GDP increases.  Britain GDP, if not the lowest in Europe, is now among the lowest.  EU GDP increase is 0.9% this year.  Britanis is only 0.4%.  Even Russia, under sanctions, has seen its GDP increase by 1.9%.

Having spent the past four years undoing Trump's economic damage. even America is doing 2.2%.

Harm done to an economy by a politician can take four or ten plus years to create the resulting downturn.  British so hated their economy as to vote for Brexit.  And are now seeing the economic results.  Numerous industries alone are moving out of Britain.  Taking their higher wage jobs with them.

No reasons to buy competitive products from Britain.  Since those now have things such as tariffs.  British people were as dumb as Trump supporters.  Shot themselves in the foot.  With all economic results, the resulting damage appears four and more years later on spread sheets.

Then dumb tory prime ministers went hunting for new markets in places such as India.  I could not believe how dumb their leader were.  But Boris Johnson and his successors were never patriotic.  He was (like Trump) a self promoter.  Only interested in his own advancement.  Knew how to get the British to screw themselves - ignorantly.

Even the Covid parties were only another symptom of Tory contempt for Britain.

And then what did these dumb people do?  Put Liz Truss in office.  Shortest Prime Minister in UK history.   Everything she said and did was just plain stupid.  But again, why did brainwashed British citizens not see what was obvious?

Well they had a problem.  On the other side was someone just as dumb. Jeremy Corbyn's solutions were to nationalize electric companies, trains, and other basic services.  As if replacing management in those places would solve the biggest problem - Brexit.  Which he would not address or challenge.  Because he was just as ignorant.  Could not see what would be and had become obvious.  He advocated less money to defense (the British navy alone is now quite pathetic),  Increased welfare (as it that would make an economy more productive).  Never once talked about the only thing that makes an economy grow, become more robust, and prosper: innovation.

He was, on the left, as dumb and anti-British as Tories on the right.  And even worse, most even here from Britain were not discussing what should have been obvious to everyone over five years ago.

British have not yet seen how much damage has been done to their economy by Brexit.  Furthermore, the rest of Europe now hold a slight contempt for the British.  Just another reason why people throughout Europe consume products from other nations.  How dumb can these Brits be.

One example was the owner of a company that makes boxes.  Even he voted for Brexit.  Citing his emotional appreciation for Johnson.  thinking like a child.  Rather than logically see obvious damage to be done (and it now doing) to his markets.

Even the London stock market is now being bypassed by many financial companies.  Since business in finance is now harder due to Brexit.   One of London's largest industries was finance.  I also know European bankers.  I figured finance industries would move to Frankfort.  Instead these business have moved all over Europe including Amsterdam and Paris.  Bottom line.  They need to get out of Britain since the British people demonstrated how dumb they can be - eight years ago.

Anything done today to reverse this slow decline cannot be apparent for at least four years.  That is how economics work.  The work done by innovators takes at least four years to result in product, market, and economic improvement.
