You tell me — you're the one who raised the subject of the war in Ukraine and how it wasn't affecting the US.

My post was pointing out the high inflation in the UK compared to the Eurozone and the US, both of which have not had to struggle with the problems of Brexit.

Now you bring in Covid — are you suggesting neither the Eurozone or the US were affected by the pandemic...?

The war in the Ukraine isn't affecting the US that much, but it's still had high inflation. The EU has had no effect from Brexit, yet 50% of EU countries have higher inflation than the U.K, Germany is in recession, doesn't that tell you Brexit is not the issue, because it should.

So how is the US giving $75 billion to the Ukraine got anything to do with inflation. Inflation is driven by people spending to much, and I wonder when there was a period when people couldn't spend? Perhaps it was Covid!!

Inflation isn't driven by government spending.

So...?

Inflation isn't driven by government spending.

I mean it can be, it's the classic route to inflation.
But 75bn is more or less a rounding error in the federal budget (plus the accounting for aid is not clear cut, how do you value military equipment pulled from storage? As new cost? Replacement cost? Scrap value?)

It's noticeable you don't dispute the figures I give — which is lucky, as they were cited by Jeremy Hunt.

And prices are still rising at over 7% in the UK — over twice the amount it is in the US which, despite you claiming is unaffected by the war in Ukraine, has given more than $75 billion in aid to that country...

Your usual disingenuous offering Pat. Comparing the UK with the US, a country that is almost entirely insulated from the effect of Putin's war, and the average of a group of 27 countries!! Is this a reasonable comparison do you think? There is also 11 EU countries with higher inflation than the UK, including Sweden, the bastion of all things that are great we are told. Australia is also at 7%, is it being hampered by Brexit? Turkey on 38%!

How is it that the UK's GDP is 10% higher than France's and pulling away? Germany in recession!

In reality, inflation is driven by peoples spending, that means the UK came out of Covid in better shape than others, OR, Brexit put money in peoples pockets. Either way your argument is completely hollow and just smacks of desperation. Any other indicator that Brexit has damaged us Pat?

who sold our economy down the river

Rubbish, we had a democratic vote, and you lost, so suck it up!!

[Borchester]

And that is another sad example of a Brexiteer who sold our economy down the river cos he fancied a spot of flag shagging, talking the usual kind of shite.

And that is another sad example of a remainer who betrayed his country because he hoped to make money out of it.

Eurozone inflation 5%, US inflation 3%, UK inflation 7.9%.

What's the one thing the UK has had to negotiate that the others haven't?

Surely it cannot be that so many people in the UK were duped into voting their country into a downwardly mobile spiral...

Still not seeing any downside to Brexit, I assume you do know what is driving the economic crisis ATM? It ain't Brexit as it is occurring across Europe.

And that is the expected comment from someone who voted to betray the UK to Brussels
