I don’t think the electorate in England is very well placed to lecture other countries on “economic suicide”. Or on any aspect of economic management come to that.

The unionists pushed their luck too far since 2014. It will be very much an uphill struggle to convince voters to back them again.

Pre Covid anyone who wanted a job in England could get one, maybe the rate might need raising on the minimum wage but the jobs were there. Unfortunately we have a element of our people who think work is a choice and expect the state to fund them not to work. Crackers imo.Im sure Scotland has its fair share of these. The proof about the jobs? Easy. Why are so many EEs able to get jobs but a bloke over the road from the factory can’t or won’t. No blame attached to the EEs or any immigrant by me. I blame the successive governments who have allowed people to duck out of work

I don’t care if a small percentage of the population ducks out of work. They won’t have the life I have and I wouldn’t swap places with them.

The cost to society in terms of cash is negligible in the grand scheme of things. Benefits are a drop in the ocean compared to the tax which is not being collected from business.

So I guess I just don’t care if a small percentage of people sit on their arses and do very little.
