Now some perspective.

Spain is doing well as is Austria

Cannot say much about the rest of the EU countries.

Figures are bad:

United Kingdom - Economic Calendar

Manufacturing Production output shrank 2% yoy, expectation was flat.

If there is a no deal the economy will fall off a cliff.

The positive side is that the figures can be blamed on being a member of the EU

UK in recession

December was bad, the economy shrinking fast, especially manufacturing.

However have no fear when the UK crashes out without a deal growth will resume due to exports of jam and biscuits.

Fruit farms are the future.
