Germany is in recession and so is the Netherlands. Yet the UK hasn't even had one quarter of negative GDP growth recently. France is in political turmoil. Across the EU, far-right political parties are gaining real power. Yet in the UK the far-right (the BNP) has no power at all and no hope of gaining even a single MP. UK politicians are being their usual level of useless, but they're squeeky clean compared to the Qatar corrupted bureaucrats infesting Brussels. So yeah, I'd take Brexit Britain any day over the mess unfolding over the English Channel. |

You mean like when the UK government gave a no deal Brexit ferry contract to a company that owns no ships, has no staff and copy-pasted terms and conditions from a pizza takeaway?
Or when they gave 100's of million in PPE contracts during covid without tender, to companies that were registered yesterday, with links to conservative party? And of that PPE ended up getting burned because it was not functional?
Or as this month, they handed over £1.6 billion to an Australian travel firm for a barge to house refugees. This barge is infested with deadly bacteria, and they could have bought the world largest cruise ship with swimming pools and for less!
