    After 8 years of budget cutting, Britain is looking less like the rest of Europe and more like the U.S., with a shrinking welfare state and spreading povertyhttps://nyti.ms/2IPp1gt

        A good article. Don’t like the use of ‘London’ to mean parliament though. It might be based there but it is not London that metes these punishments out, but the Conservative party. Some councils have seen cuts greater than 50% since 2010.

        Ain't gonna get any better after #Brexit... For what it's worth, #france is undergoing the same situation... If that is not a clear sign of changing times and society as we used to know it, what is it?... Something's wrong with the western world... 🤔🤔🤔

        And they throw in a Tolled crossing into the mix, collecting toll tax and fines that have been ruled unenforceable, putting further strain on the #Merdeyside region, forcing families into #poverty. I’m surprised this wasn’t in your report. #scrapmerseytolls

        Rates going up year on year and less money spent on schools, roads, tourism, hospitals, infrastructure, police etc. Where is the money going? Politicians can’t even agree on policies anymore, Britain is sliding into an abyss and before long it will be unrecoverable.

        On top of that, take into account the Brexit and you have a gloomy future for the Brits.

        Whereas Ireland who were nearly destroyed by the same recession is once again a growing economy! I wonder what the difference is!? (HINT: Brexit)

        If the EU is so magical where was this wonderful growth before Brexit and what explanation do you have for EU members like Greece, Spain or Italy who have gone to shit? Brexit happened because of the economy, not the other way around.

        There's no cliff. England will do much better outside the EU's regulation. As will countries like Italy or Greece that have been suffocating under it.

        catastrophic Job losses from Firms based here for single market access, new trade deals with external countries being worse than any we can get from inside the EU, reduction in banking sector, collapse of just in time manufacturing with border paperwork taken together

        Where are you getting all this nonsense from? 1. Name 1 firm that MUST leave cause of Brexit. 2. The EU is a ceiling on Britain's trade deal potential. 3. Why would banking sector reduce? 4. Paperwork will be an obstacle but "collapse" is pure hysteria.
