a reminder that #BrexitIsShit

Best for Britain @bestforbritain.org · 17h

🔍 Anton Spisak (Centre for European Reform), observes that, after Brexit took effect at the end of 2020, Britain’s goods exports have grown less than those of any other economy in the G7 club of rich countries.

❌ Brexit is a form of economic vandalism.

My Spanish uncle (by marriage) talked about churros back in the 70s. I still have never had one. They seem inordinately pricey compared to the basic product he described.

In case you missed it:

Jenrick supported the appeal of an asylum seeker (to him: 'illegal migrant') who had run into trouble with a law first introduced by Thatcher, and was now drawing on the ECHR to overturn his conviction.

His free speech rights under the ECHR helped his appeal succeed.

I'm pretty sure we wouldn't get comments like, 'but what about building your immune system?' or 'You can't avoid sharing our communal drink forever'. Or 'people aren't dying of norovirus. It's just a tummy upset'.

Imagine going to a meeting in a pub where everyone in the room drinks from the same glass, passing it round. That's the analogy for expecting people to breathe shared air in a covid pandemic.

So when you're told uk is the only g7 nation not back to normal, it's a lie. None of them is back to normal. How could they be. Covid is real. The harm is real.

And this is with vaccines and Paxlovid.
SARS-CoV-2 is objectively more impairing than the flu and it circulates all year round, yet adequate prevention measures such as good ventilation and testing are not a priority for those in power.

Yale researchers analyzed data from 158 million US workers and found that even after the pandemic, COVID-19 continues to raise work absences by 13% and labor force exits by 13%.

The virus has created a new year-round baseline similar to flu season.

I'm amazed by the people who stay and support that site with their engagement given what it is now. There are always excuses made. Self justifications are strong in humans.

As Jonn says in the piece: no. The problem is that not enough people see how extreme it has become.

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?

'Most people now know someone in bed with COVID. If someone says they are in bed with flu, it’s almost certainly COVID, given the number of people admitted to hospital for COVID last week was 50 times higher than the number admitted for flu!' @chrischirp.bsky.social

Our vaccine only strategy turned out to be a not even vaccine strategy. Meanwhile we're in another surge. Covid causes damage. There will be fit, healthy people disabled by the infection they get in the next few months.

Imagine if we had used that period of relative low, to practise the correct infection control protocols and knock it right down.
