They did exactly the same thing with Brexit with any academic with an axe to grind who was willing to claim that it would cause food shortages etc being given air time. We haven't go to the point in the Brexit process where such an outcome would start to manifest itself. "No Deal", or something approaching it. Thats odd because I distincly remember George Osborne and Mark Carney claiming the pould would collapse due to massive sell offs in the city and the UK would be destitute within months going cap in hand to the IMF if we dared vote to leave back in 2016. It would seem their crystal balls were on the blink that day. Ditto there were predictions that the day we left the EU regardless of whether we were still marching in tune temporarily , the sky would fall on our heads etc. We haven't actually left yet… Sorry? We have very much left you plank, we're simply following EU rules and regs at the moment. Yes, that means we are still in the system, we've just surrendered control, that's all. Given how quickly the gates came down on the borders within the EU when this virus kicked off, you have to wonder just how strong the EU really is anyway. There was definately a whiff of every man/country for himself that week. So much for stronger together. You have to laugh  |
