The future prospects for Germany do not look too bright. It was the only G7 nation to slip into recession at the start of this year. It experienced no growth from April to June and the outlook for the three months to September look equally bleak. The economy has been struggling mainly because of the loss of cheap Russian oil and gas (which it was warned not to depend too deeply on some years ago). Both the IMP and the OECD have predicted that it will be the poorest performing advanced economy in 2023.
The UK doesn’t fare much better, but to consistently downplay the UK’s performance because of “the disaster of Brexit” is to ignore the fact that the world is n unstable place at present and many other economies (who haven’t left the EU) are similarly strapped. Italy is also on the brink of recession, with its economy shrinking by 0.3% in the quarter ending in June.
On a brighter note (which I’m sure you will dismiss for one reason or another) it seems the UK’s post-Brexit immigration policy is paying dividends. The governments new points-based system which makes it easier for those from outside the EU to work in the UK. It awards points on such things as the ability to speak English, having a job offer or seeking a job in a sphere where there is a shortage of workers. The employment website “Indeed” has calculated that 5 out of every 100 views on its website come from foreign applicants. Pawel Adrjan, from the website, said “The UK’s new immigration policy is operating as intended. There is a shift towards non-European interest in higher skilled jobs in the UK and away from the lower skilled roles that European workers had taken."
The UK economy is changing. It will take time, that is why it is foolish to demand Brexit is reversed so quickly. Anyone without a rabid opposition to Brexit will give it a chance and they may find it is changing for the better. But continually posting clips of blokes manically spouting on YouTube doesn't help your argument.
