UK in Deep Trouble - Joe Blogs



The United Kingdom is in the grips of a Crisis as GDP falls and inflation rises and there is now rising speculation that the Labour Government is looking to reverse the Brexit deal. In this video I look at the latest data and discuss the possibility of the UK cancelling Brexit and re-joining the European Union.

I am not going to waste 10 minutes listening to some no-name, self-proclaimed expert, just to hear a position that probably can be summed up in one paragraph.

If the guy is actually one of those rare species (a pundit-caster who actually has some real insight), I'd appreciate some background notes.

Thanks in advance.

I already provide the media source and the description of the video that is on YouTube (in this case it is the one liner along with the list of chapters). Eventually, it comes down to each member doing some of their own work rather than me writing summaries and getting criticized for any inaccuracies. If you consider that work as a waste of time, then that is on you.

…we all love: He is reporting actual facts. Takes some time to sort it all out. He’s quite good.

1st time I've seen him commenting on the UK economy...he seems focused on what's happening in China.
