[@jameswhitfield1375]

thank you, Professor. I found your presentation both interesting and informative.

Johnson spreads fascist conspiracy theory in parliament and lied to the queen, he really is not fit to be anywhere near power

Prof Winters, how will financial services go now the city (financial centre) is empty. JP Morgan for instance has moved almost 80% of personnel to Holland and Germany. Take an elevator in any of those key finance buildings and floor after floor is empty.

Would love an updated analysis in a few months... one year after Brexit.

The slogan Global Britain is just a term used on Brexiteers to win them over in what we could have if we trade with the rest of the world and not the EU, it's very misleading and means absolutely nothing. Truth is, we could have been global Britain whiles in the EU and there is nothing stopping other EU countries doing the same thing but the UK is at a disadvantage now because of the lack of trade deals, the EU has a lot of them plus a lot of bilateral agreements and then even as the UK signs trade deals, it's one thing signing them, it's another getting a good deal and that's where the real problem comes in, the UK is signing deals fast but if you look at them closely, the deals are not that great with many open for renegotiation at a later date, likely because third party countries want better terms for themselves as now the UK is out of the EU, we're a weaker player and that gives any other country around the world a stronger hand to use against the UK, we only have to look at Norway to see how that plays out.

Blessings! How do you face up to the realities of “global Britain” if you consider slavery, colonialism & exploitation to be merely “distasteful?”

[@appstratum9747]

With classic British understatement. :-) I jest but of course none of it is funny. The British would be well served by being brutally truthful with themselves about all of the things that you mentioned. Because without such brutal honesty they will not do well in a world we they they now need as many friends as they can get. Sadly, the British are very blind to how they're seen in much of the rest of the world and their view of themselves and their contributions to the world rarely considers the sheer brutality and duplicity of the empire that so many are proud of.

Free markets run both ways my dear professor of economics, new Zealand was left utterly baffled by dizzy lizzy truss and the trade deals as they allow them to wipe out uk farmers with cheap imports same as free marketeers in Chile because free marketeers never learn

Edited from the Press 2016 and 2022 Here in continental Europe, Johnson and his clown show have been kept well out of the Ukraine loop for safety. You may remember Johnson's candid photo at Stansted airport after seeming to have slept in the Easy Jet baggage hold, on his return from his fourth attendance at the oligarch's favorite son's drug addled 'Russian Bonga Bonga' style party in 2016 at Lebedev's palace, which is "so camera'd up that shots can be take from ten angles at a time for "extra clarity" in Perugia where "everything is on the menu" and according to MI5,6,7,8 and 9 "all who attend are compromised by Putin's dubious friends" It appears that in the corridors of Brussels, they haven't forgotten either. "We don't want Johnson, the scruffy liar, to spill the beans again to Putin in exchange for a further delay in publishing the "Italian Party Pictures in HD" regarding our actions and our help in Ukraine" said Ursula to Šefčovič, in fluent Polish.

Economist (noun) Someone who will tell you tomorrow, why what they told you yesterday would happen today, didn't.

[@simoncolombo6640]

Yeah, the economy is behavior and people do not always behave rationally.

[@jeremysmith8035]

oh dear, you missed the bit where lizzies economic fantasy was rejected by the naughty banks, the naughty international monetary fund and the naughty United States on the same day 😉

So the Scots are 'bombastic'! To call someone bombastic is quite the insult - a long word telling an entire country they are vain, full of themselves and try to impress other people by saying meaningless things that sound superficially impressive. (Sounds very like a description of Boris Johnson!) Until that point I thought the video was interesting - but he had to go and characterise an entire country as being a stereotypical 'type'. This reveals his idea of Scots as being servants of the empire - useful as people you could put to work in the other colonies. Not impressed! Also we can all see that England has no shortage of bombastic 'types' especially in the Houses of Parliament - they got Brexit done after all! If bombast is the criteria for a successful Global Britain then you should have no problems!

[@topcat8804]

You didn't listen properly. He was saying that having an empire was bombastic.

[@buildmotosykletist1987]

@Irene... : I suggest you listen to that segment again.

[@jeremysmith8035]

last time I went into work and told my boss that I wasn't going to listen to experts, like people who actually know their arse from their elbows I was fired on the spot 😢

"What does 'Global Britain' add up to economically?" Well,.. ...re GPD this year, then as per the IMF's current assessment, 'Global Britain' adds up to a touch over $186 billion MORE than 'EU inmate, France'

[@jim-es8qk]

an economy still larger than France.

[@topcat8804]

Not any more!

[@buildmotosykletist1987]

The UK has a fractionally bigger economy and a massively bigger deficit.

[@dragzgaming]

Money power or country pride... Country pride brings more money, happier people and less people depressed and on benefits. Yes money boosts economy, but country pride. Motivation , opportunity and independence brings alot more to the table than just money based econemy. Money and econemy is a result of the other. Britain only performs when faced against the odds. Look at history

[@dragzgaming]

Being in the EU we was spending money to help other countries 10-20b a year. We didnt get any benefits from it. Grease and poor countries did. So what's the point in having trade that payes our Bill's of being in a club only lol maddness

[@samhartford8677]

@@MrEvans1 Not necessarily. There is no cure for stupidity and if their brains did not extent to understanding the consequences of Brexit five years ago, their brains will not extend to understanding that the current problems are caused partly by Brexit. They cannot do multifactor analysis, it's always one factor and nothing else.
