Well.... Inflation is around 10% all over Europe too, as well as the other parts of the world. We also haven't had a meaningful pay rise since 2010, a full six years before the referendum and around 10 years before actual Brexit. So hard to really blame it all on Brexit to be fair...
People have been asked to live on too little for too long. Nurses shouldn't need foodbanks to feed themselves and their families. We need to stop trying to build our economy from the top down, we don't need a handful of billionaire CEO's, we need a working class with a good quality of life. >

Yeah like venezuela >

In what regard would that be like Venezuela? >

Because the assumption that ending with the rich people will end up poverty is all wrong and all countries who do that (socialism) have a poor class bigger and with less opportunities. >

What are you on about? >

Economy dude >

That doesn't really narrow it down. >

Im sorry you think that >

You don't think 'economy' is an incredibly broad topic? Okay. >

You want me to explain socialism vs free market in a reddit comment? You just said something that everybody thinks (end with billionaires) but is all wrong. There are more billionaires in USA and poor people all around latin america are risking their lives to go there. In Venezuela they ended up with all megarich and now the country has no business, no employment and is basically a hell on earth. >

I will be on strike tomorrow. I'm not a Nurse or a Teacher, a Police officer or a Firefighter; I don't drive an Ambulance, however, I'm a Civil Servant working for the Scottish Government with over 30 years of service. This is the first time I will have gone on strike in relation to Pay despite being a Union Member (and previously official) for each one of those 31 years. We haven't had a meaningful payrise in over 10 years, roughly speaking we are effectively earning in real terms something like 25-30% less than we were in 2010. Enough is enough. >

Because whilst Ukraine and Corona hurt everyone, we also votes to be a shit-ton poorer by going for Brexit.
People who voted Brexit should be legally forbidden from striking, because lower wages is exactly their fault.
