I know nothing of England's economy, so I really have no idea why that chart would be that way, but the chart itself seems disingenuous.

To be clear, I believe it, I just don't agree with the message that BREXIT is the sole reason for their economy tanking.

Decreased trade, increased barriers + friction with your largest trading partners. More capital constraints, Euro focusing on European financial centers. I'm not saying it's 100% of the cause, but it's reasonable to be a large contributor.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying. I was just pointing out that the chart by itself seemed to have an agenda.

Also, it's kind of proving why kids join gangs. :)

I'd be curious to see a deeper dive into the EU's actual finances. Germany was the king of that hill for a while, but their own economic growth has been stagnant. I remember many charts about the EU's finances' from past years saying Germany was keeping the EU afloat. I know Poland is doing really well.

Saw a funny meme yesterday saying England was the only Muslim country left in the World Cup.

Yeah, I know The Telegraph, but it's the first link I found.

UK gov study tells police to get out of "Woke Culture War" and finds their leadership to be extremely lacking.

Summary of it here if you want a quicker read:
