Witnessing economic decline from a comfortable position is rather odd, whilst the lives of millions are changed forever, jobs lost, businesses closed, hopes dashed, nothing much changes for me, should I feel guilty?

What can I do but watch?

I’ve see Romania growing at record speed, with an English speaking generation making progress, working hard, expecting nothing to be handed to them. A generation that will do better than their parents, soon they will pass us by.

Britain literally voted for decline.

Why?
We’re not well placed to deal with the psychological impact of such a sudden change of fortune. The poor will be poorer the rich might be richer, 4 million unemployed by February will be a shock never experienced by a nation of haves and the middle class won’t avoid the downturn.
At the precise moment when access to mass markets and the need to trade in data is most critical, those key jobs in finance and services will move to the single market. The middle manager is in real peril as home working, video conferencing and buying online accelerates.
We can all see why the high street is in decline but the same unstoppable forces will eat away at our economy. Apologists are already pointing towards supposed structural differences between the UK & EU states to explain the difference in the drop in GDP.
The drop in GDP is structural but it’s also a precursor to Brexit, the EU is looking for supply from within the SM ahead of Brexit and this is probably accelerating. Nobody really knows how bad Brexit will be, we just know it’ll be somewhere between bad and catastrophic.
