Germany and Brexit
The latest Brexiteer wheeze is that now the UK is predicted to be only the second worst economy in the G7, Brexit is a success.
The so called logic goes like this: if Remainers say Brexit is a disaster but if someone, somewhere has, for no matter how short a time, a worse performing economy than the UK, then Remainers are wrong and therefore Brexit is a triumph.
The fallacies in this logic are so obvious it is hardly worth pointing them out.
But basically while Remainers think and can show that Brexit has made the British economy much worse, no one has ever claimed it will always be the worst performing, economy nor that there will never be any growth nor that every other economy is perfect.
To do so would be stupid.
But the very desperation with which the Brexit elite try to turn, Germany is in recession, into “we are geniuses”; tells you everything you need to know.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
