London loses position as most valuable European stock market...

"This was also the year that Brexit died, if not as a fact of life then as a project that inspires. Former enthusiasts disown it or blame its meagre returns on poor implementation."

"France has taken the top spot as the combined value of its companies' shares have been boosted by currency movements and demand for French luxury goods.
It is the first time Paris has overtaken London since records began in 2003, according to data from Bloomberg."

Linky Linky

Now why would that be?

Oh that's right

"It has added to existing problems in the economy, including a persistently weak pound and weaker trade since Brexit. The UK is the only G7 nation whose economy is still smaller than it was before the pandemic."

So can anyone point to a benefit from brexit?

Well it’s about time the French actually achieved some thing of note

Other than being the world leaders in white flag manufacturing :ROFLMAO:
 
They are expert soap dodgers does that count ?

would you like to explain how it affects exports etc

Well in a normal non brexit world a fall in a country's currency should help it's exports...

But lack of access to the world's largest trading bloc kind of negates that...

The UK has very little resources to make anything, and guess what...

A crashed currency means that commodities that have to be imported cost more!

Which affects the costs of anything we can export!

Why do you have a problem understanding that?

No, Remainers were more intelligent than to want to commit economic suicide, unlike Brexers.

Brexit has been a rolling disaster, with the UK being the only economy in the G7 not to have bounced back after COVID. So what is the difference between the UK and the rest of the G7? Ah, well, that would be Brexit.

Advantages in 20, 30, 40 years hence? Go on then, what exactly? I seem to recall being told that we'd have cheaper food, unrestricted travel to Europe and we'd "take back control" of our borders and reduce immigration. All immediately. So what happened? If Brexit were a clock or a radio most of us would take it back and ask for a refund as it patently isn't working

One day, if you grow some sense, you may come to realise that you were hoodwinked into voting Brexit by the ERG, IEA, Tax Payers Alliance and the compliant right wing press, although I suspect that hell might freeze over sooner

I can't highlight any post from you extolling the benefits of brexit.

There are some ? You won (the referendum), but what have you actually won ?

Very few people will admit that they have been hoodwinked and will just keep going with weaker and weaker arguments.
 
Fewer people agree with mottie

The share of people who regret Brexit has increased since the UK left the EU. Recent polls show a growing majority think it was the wrong decision.

Hence my reference to Lucifer's realm. I already know one family who moved to NI so that they could keep their lucrative business within the single market running. According to one of the Brexit ignorati they were "**** at business" because they couldn't overcome the major walls which Brexit built for them. Stunning!

freedom from what ? To do what ? What couldn't you do before brexit that you can now

Well, Jacob Rees-Smugg is going to have his "bonfire of the EU regulations" which will result in more freedom.

For example it could allow women who have just given birth the freedom to go back to work because they will no longer need to sit at home being paid statutory maternity pay; it will potentially give water companies the freedom to dump raw sewage into waterways without any constraints or controls; it will potentially give employers the freedom to impose working weeks of more than 48 hours without any fscility to object; it will potentially give airlines the freedom not to compensate you if your flight is delayed or cancelled or they lose your luggage - and many, many more "freedoms" will be bestowed upon us without any need for parliamentary scrutiny.

Remind you of anywhere? Maybe like some timpot dictatorship or fascist state, such as Russia? Yes. FREEDOM! (Just not for us proles)
