Not surprised as nearly everyone has been on the streets complaining about Brexit for the last few years. 😀

Can't blame the EU now.

I remember the 1970s when all respectable experts agreed that the main reason for the UK’s poor productivity was “too powerful trade unions.” Maybe not then.

The official cured number passed the deaths number for a while too. Get them out 🤛🏽
