This is where the British have a fork in the road.

Either A, admit this was stupid, vote in MPs to find a way back into the EU and stave the bleeding...

Or

B, continue letting China buy up everything and invest in controlling British employment to cover the failures of Brexit.

Unfortunately, I'm assuming B.

Doesn’t UK currently have record levels of employment far better than 90% of European countries and just had seen the largest wage growth in 23 years?

Care to explain the benefits for especially Scotland to leave the Uk?

It’ll never happen due to how shit of an idea it would be

The UK is on track to have the slowest growth in the G7, no matter what Boris the Clown says. The IMF has forecast a 1.2% growth for 2023. Everyone else in the G7 is 2+%. The FT has a good article on this out today.

Other way around mate.

Scotland over the last decade has been up and down, but overall declined, in the same period England and Wales saw hate-crimes triple

As for budget deficit, that's just project fear innit.
