There are several convincing economic forecasts that suggest we could be
heading for a post-pandemic global recession as bad, if not worse, than that of
the 1930s. We have also recently seen how lack of cooperation with the EU has
led the UK to be even further behind in procuring adequate amounts of PPE for NHS
and care workers.
Nevertheless, the cabal of fuckwits in Downing Street have concluded
that, somehow, Covid-19 increases the case for avoiding regulatory alignment
with the EU and for hastening down the path towards a no-deal Brexit, with all
the additional economic damage that will bring.
Whether this is a true reflection of what they are pursuing, or just
some mad and divisive negotiating stance designed to disorientate their EU
counterparts, probably won’t be clear until Hogmanay, but neither option bodes
well for the future.
