The biggest thing that causes “Rising Unemployment” is the employer going ■■■■-up.
Companies making money hand-over-fist - tend not to lay all their staff off, when some new, expensive rule comes in… On the contrary - they embrace the new “Laws” knowing that all their thorn-in-the-side Competitors - are going to struggle to meet these new, higher “one-off” overheads…
An example of such a thing would be small grocers in London going under in the next few months and years - because they cannot afford to upgrade to a euro-compliant vehicle (!!) whilst Supermarkets that have got billions can of course…
How are Londoners in OUTER areas going to get to work, those places that don’t have a handy nearby tube station?
How do Londoners anywhere get their weekly big food shop in - “taking it on the bus and tube” come to that?
Stolen-Away Driving - has consequences.
“Being effectively banned from running a business involving deliveries” - has DISASTEROUS consequences!
Londoners that are still capable of working - will be moving out of London in droves.
Londoners on Benefits - won’t be able to source food locally any more, and you’ll see millions of minions blundering around day and night with their little blue carrier bags, buying some overpriced groceries at the only place left to go - the Forecourts… and even they surely have their remaining days numbered!
The Brexit Deal done Today - draws a line under it, and permits the deep state to archive the whole brexit process as “done” but of course NOT done, in far as we UK folk - didn’t actually get much by way of the Brexit Dividend out of it - did we?
Yes, sure the whole rollout was a “stupid idea” IF you are one of those who “doesn’t believe in capital punishment” - and have just had YOUR loved one murdered by someone who wouldn’t even be alive, if you’d let the ruling Right have their way, instead of all thise woke, Liberal Left tosh that prevents crap rolling uphill at any time…
My only regret about Brexit - was that it never happened.
We still pay the EU contributions.
We still wage proxy war against the EU’s enemies on their sayso.
We still get dictated to by the ECHR and other legal bodies.
We don’t get asked on matters of “national importance”.
There’s no difference between our incumbent parties on the above points neither, so there’s no hope we can effect “regime change” in this country “by voting differently” in future.
From the EU’s point of view, the UK is now a full vassal and offshore colony that sends NO representatives to Brussels. We take orders, we are no longer allowed a voice IN those orders. Best of both worlds from their point of view.
The next stage will be the DUP being over-run by Sinn Fein at future elections in Northern Ireland.
Then Sunak’s Tories being busted out of power (They hope to be in opposition for “A generation”)
Then Keir Starmer’s stillborn Post-Labour party - will expect to inherit power, and with the electronic rigs fully in place these days - that should indeed be a formality.
The only thing that can deny them the outcome they expect at the top - is for the Far Left and Far Right to unite, and vote for a new upstart party in such numbers - that “feet can be held to the fire” by becoming the new Opposition rather than the Tories.
I wonder how many Corbinites out there would now consider voting against both Tory AND Labour in their respective wards?
How many would really go “Oh, I don’t like Starmer, but I have to vote Labour - because they are Labour!”…
Labour winning the most seats, then opens up the door to a UK breakup, because Starmer would not be able to get anything done without the SNP’s approval. That SNP future looks more likely to be under Humza Yousaf than Kate Forbes who will surely be “knobbled” on account of her Faith…? (They are neck and neck in the leadership contest betting, currently…)
If we’d left the EU properly, we could have been like Germany and done our own energy deals, and stayed out of EU foreign affairs - forever.
We’d not be pushed around by America’s current illegitimate government as well.
We wouldn’t have wasted a third of our pension funds betting against the Ruble - only for it to rise in value.
We wouldn’t be wasting 5billion at a time on Zelensky’s Borgia-like regime, rather than spending it at home where it’s rather NEEDED right now…
We could even drop this Carbon-Worship nonsense that has us deliberately making ourselves poorer - until some other enemy country we didn’t have to have as an enemy - rids the world of US in due course.
It isn’t WWIII that’s needed to sort this all out - it is more likely to be the “World Civil War”.
I could paraphrase Einstein here and say "I don’t know how the World Civil War will be fought, but the SECOND such war - will be over mining rights over the asteroid belt that was once the Earth…"
Either way, Humanity has reached the end of it’s collective rope. There’s too many of us, and we still don’t have any means to leave this planet in large numbers.
IMO - Dieback is imminent.
War
Famine
Pandemic? Nay, EPIDEMIC.
Economic Collapse
Global Power Failure
Global Starvation
).with all the sh.storm that will bring, and possibly have a re run of the legacy of the last Labiur govt who almost made us bankrupt.
