British decline linked to Brexit, weak leadership and poor finances in damning report (Independent)

[pellinore]

Rishi wants us to support him in getting on with his 'Plan'. If his plan is to make the UK a Third World Country, he is doing very well. Our court system now needs to release prisoners early and postpone court cases; our schools are crumbling; our hospital waiting lists are world-beating; and we have no control of our borders. Just think what Rishi will achieve in another 5 years.

Weak leadership, poor economic management and Brexit have dragged Britain out of the top 10 countries in a global index on good government.

The decline of Britain under the Tories has been charted by the global Chandler Good Government Index (CGGI) which saw it take 11th place.

At a time when Rishi Sunak has been under siege from his own Tory MPs, the UK’s place on the annual list was made worse by scores for “leadership and foresight” putting it in 20th place.

It was also hit by coming 27th in “financial stewardship”. The findings come amid a report of an exodus by companies from the City of London.

Says a report in 'The (not so) Independent' (which, by the way, is owned by Alexander Lebedev, a Russian oligarch and former KGB Officer 🤔), who staunchly advocated we should vote Remain in a blatant anti-Brexit pro-EU propaganda hit piece published on the very day of the referendum titled, quote: "The right choice is to remain"? - I'll take the impartiality of anything they have to say with a grain of salt the size of the Dead Sea then. 🤦👇👇👇👇

How many times do you need to be told pellinore, there is no "exodus", no matter how much you obviously desperately want there to be.

Annoyingly for you, London is ranked Number 2 on the latest 'Global Financial Centres Index' (GFCI), which was released on 21st March 2024, despite all the negative Remoaner predictions that it would lose the crown of being Europe's top financial centre after our democratically mandated exit from the European Union, and, along with Geneva (non-EU Switzerland in 7th place), is the only other European Financial Centre in the Top 10. (Strange how you conveniently never seem to want to talk about that huge nugget of positive news eh pellinore?). 🤔👇👇👇👇

Also annoyingly for you, Dutch challenger Bank, Bunq, which is Europe’s second largest neobank, with a net profit of €53.1mn in 2023, is returning to the UK after a 3-year hiatus.

Ali Niknam, founder and CEO at Bunq, said of its return to the UK, quote: "As a bridge between Europe and the rest of the world, the UK is at the forefront of European fintech and a hugely important market for Bunq." (Strange how a Remoaner justification for being in the EU was the claim that the rest of the world saw the UK as being the gateway to the rest of Europe, but yet here we have an EU company stating that a non-EU UK is now the gateway to the rest of the world, so is this now a justification for not being in the EU then? 🤔)

Also annoyingly for you, "Exxon Mobil asked traders in Brussels to relocate to London"

Brussels-based refined products traders were informed on Thursday (8th February 2024) that they have to decide whether to relocate or leave the company this year as the oil giant continues to reorganize its growing trading business.

Quote: "As we continue to strengthen our trading community, London provides better proximity to trading activities, trading talent pool, and will support our evolution as a trading organization," Exxon (NYSE:XOM) said in an emailed statement. (Strange how you conveniently never seem to want to talk about that huge nugget of positive news either eh pellinore?).

Must be Brexit eh pellinore, I mean, after all, you can't have it both ways. Dear oh dear, the way you're blubbering on anyone would think that you don't actually want to see a post-Brexit UK (your own country) doing well outside of the EU. 🤔👇👇👇👇

Britain`s decline has been going on for 80 years and both successive Labour and Tory governments are to blame.

The general drive has been to shrink and breakup our country, dismantle our industry, and change the makeup of our population with vast numbers of immigrants. Its like those at the top have no stomach for self preservation or ensuring we remain a great power.
