    The UK is in a terrible mess, decades in the making. Blame on all sides.
    The problem is thst higher taxes won't give us good high quality stuff - 1% extra pay raise in public sector is roughly about what Tory will collect from massive hike on dividends, it's tiny increase that won't make any difference - it was much smarter to control inflation (no Brexit so Sterling would have been higher)

          The EU is going to have to pay the UK for participation in the Customs Union and Single Market, because the UK holds all the cards and will otherwise stop importing German cars.

            That's a far longer reply than I thought you'd give.

                The UK is happy to negotiate a deal that works for both sides. Unlike the EU.

                  In the mean time only fair to tax Brexiters, 10% income tax increase would be a good start

                    The snowflake victim mentality is proving to be an interesting sub-component of Bretinism.
