Pa jim ne bi bilo treba. Če bi uvajali vračanje ekoomske baze in proizvodnje nazaj k sebi, se odpovedali zelenim agendam in obdržali poceni vire energije, uvažali produktivno delovno silo namesto huslimanskih iskalcev socialnih podpor in še kaj, bi lahko danes gledali drugačno Anglijo. Tako pa so si povsem sami krivi počasnega propadanje. Ni kriv svet, breksit ali EU, najbolj so si krivi kar sami.

Here’s a concise summary of the Bloomberg video on Brexit’s 10-year impact (“What 10 Years of Brexit Has Cost the UK”):

Main takeaway

Bloomberg’s argument is that Brexit has imposed a significant long-term economic cost on the UK, while delivering far fewer benefits than promised.

Key points from the video

1. UK economy is materially smaller than it would have been
Bloomberg Economics estimates Brexit has reduced UK GDP by roughly 2–4% versus the no-Brexit scenario, with some newer academic estimates putting the long-run hit closer to 6–8%.

2. Around £100 billion annual economic drag
A widely cited Bloomberg estimate suggests Brexit is costing roughly £100 billion per year in lost output due to weaker trade, investment, and productivity.

3. Trade with Europe became more difficult, especially for SMEs
Leaving the EU single market introduced:

customs paperwork
regulatory friction
border delays
veterinary inspections for food/agriculture

Small exporters were hit hardest, and many simply stopped exporting to the EU. Reuters reported roughly 20,000 small firms stopped exporting to Europe.

4. Business investment weakened sharply
Uncertainty and reduced access to the EU market caused lower investment. Estimates suggest:

business investment 12–18% lower than it otherwise would have been
lower productivity growth since 2016.

5. London lost some financial sector dominance
Banks and financial firms moved parts of operations to EU cities like:

Amsterdam
Paris
Frankfurt

Hundreds of billions in financial assets shifted away from the UK.

6. Immigration didn’t fall the way Leave campaign implied
EU immigration dropped after free movement ended, but labor shortages led to higher non-EU migration, meaning total migration stayed high or even increased.

7. Political instability worsened
Since the referendum, the UK has had seven prime ministers in roughly a decade, and Brexit continues to dominate politics and fuel polarization.

8. Public opinion shifted
Polling now shows:

majority think Brexit was a mistake
many want closer EU ties again
support for eventual re-entry has risen.
The deeper message of the video

Bloomberg’s underlying conclusion is:

Brexit did not trigger immediate collapse, but it created a persistent structural slowdown.

The UK still functions well, but compared with staying in the EU, it likely has:

lower growth
weaker productivity
less investment
more trade friction
reduced geopolitical leverage
