HMRC data confirms: Brexit has decimated UK exports

  1. > The number of UK businesses exporting goods to the EU fell 33 per cent to 18,357 in 2021, from 27,321 in 2020.

    Ohh, it’s even worse than “decimated”.

    Decimated is 1 in 10 while this is just about 1 in 3.

    Well played Brexiteers. What’s your next victory 😀

  2. ENGERRLAND!!!

    2 WORLD WARS ONE WORLD CUP!! AND A WOMENS EURO CUP!!!!

    Thank God we elected a very competent leader to ‘get Brexit done’.

    Thank fuck we aren’t wasting loads of money re-printing money, stamps, lavish funerals and lavish coronations!!!

  3. Brexit was so fucking anal… putin and china give it to uk up the ass with the propaganda

    I hope to welcome uk back in eu in the future

    Putin and china are fucking the free world by ruining economies and supporting both far left and far right to instigate divide

    We need to admit this and finish them

  4. London Economic is an EU mouthpiece, even their About Us page admits that, why is propaganda stuff allowed here?

  5. I for one, am very glad we don’t export our stuff. We need to keep it all here and benefit from those low, low prices!

  6. Leaving a large trading bloc to try and strike it out on your own is apparently a bad idea. Who knew? I’m sure Dave down the pub can tell us how it is all the EU’s fault and not the government’s for failing to negotiate good trade deals or a softer Brexit model. It will never be the UK’s fault, otherwise that would mean having to admit it was wrong to vote to leave the EU.

  7. How dare you tell us facts.

    That’s project fear

    The Queen is dead

    Have ye no respect!!!!

  8. Sure I pointed this out with a Tableau dashboard I made over a year ago.

    That got me a job and all.

    Notably imports are nearly non-affected.

  9. This might upset some people and probably belongs in a crazy suggestions pot but I’ll chip in my thoughts.

    People should have to put their wallet where their vote is…

    By this I mean if they decide on something that going to have a huge economic impact then they get either the boon or the bust through HMRC taxes; they get to keep a share of the resulting profits in the form of reduced tax.

    Or on the flip side if a vote causes a huge economic loss then they should be taxed the excess burden for their shit decisions.

    Of course you can always abstain; if you can’t back up the strength of your belief with the potential financial risk then no penalty for walking away.

    The problem is that with the current system is the level of individual unaccountability, as we all end up paying for other peoples stupid decisions.

    I get it that’s “how democracy works”.

    But blue passport be damned. It’s looking more and more like a dumdum decision.

    It’s a daft idea I get it, but… is it as daft as the reality we’re facing.

  10. Vote to leave the biggest trading block strange how that happened must be coincidence no no covid no no aliens
