Don't bring Brexit into this, its a worldwide problem.

Yes, I know it's a world wide problem.

....but we also have Brexit half of you voted for as the cherry on the top!

I blame Brexit for global energy prices, the war in Ukraine, food shortages, Covid, global warming, and all other ills and ailments.

Plus it rained yesterday, which must be Brexit's fault too.

Brexit has caused a lot of problems for business, is damaging trade and is almost certainly responsible for some of the inflationary pressure in the UK, although far from all. There are two groups, equally extreme, one seems to want to blame Brexit for everything, the other sees Brexit as the promised land any anyone mentioning a negative is talking the country down. Brexit is harming the economy and will continue to do so for decades to come, it is not the economic destruction that some claimed it would be, but there are no economic upsides either.

And if the current brinkmanship over the N.I protocol goes South ,then be prepared for things to get rapidly worse !!

The Johnson administration is nothing if not adapt at distraction techniques. They are massively mishandling the economy so they are following the tried an tested method of finding an external enemy to blame, it unites the less intelligent against a perceived external threat and takes up huge amounts of air time, keeping the issues they have caused themselves away from the headlines, or drowned out amongst the noise.
