| Graham, the pre-Brexit forecasts of job losses and falling investment should we decide to leave the EU carried with them the implication that sterling would probably weaken. However, the collapse in the currency has been far greater than most people predicted because of the way the Bank of England responded to the referendum result. The day after the vote Mark Carney signalled to international markets that it was the currency not interest rates that would make the adjustment by injecting billions of funds into our domestic financial system. Ironically this exercise was supported by using lines of credit from the European Central Bank. Mrs May was against this policy because she believes that low interest rates and continued asset inflation cause increased social inequality and she is probably right. Pumping money into the economy has stabilised demand and the weaker currency has given a short term boost to our exporters but the cost is likely to be high longer term both in explosion of consumer credit and the erosion of real wages. An economy which had too much debt piled more debt on top of it. The negative consequences are already starting to feed through. The weaker pound has accelerated the decline of real wages as people on lower incomes have to pay more for food and other imported goods. The pressure is starting to tell and the Government appear to be buckling on public sector pay but that ultimately will just hit the income of private sector works who will have to pay more tax to cover the cost - their pay in real terms has already been declining even faster. This is a result not of leaving the EU but of the policy response of the decision to do so. We have yet to feel the full force of the economic impact which will be profound if we leave the single market. Even if the most rosy expectations of enthusiasts for free trade outside the EU are met it will take decades for this to compensate for the loss of trade with Europe. In the meantime 100,000s of jobs will be lost and millions will be forced to make do with lower incomes. I'm assuming that your income is fixed and guaranteed and immune from the negative economic consequences of the decision you supported. It strikes me as deeply unchristian for you to blithely dismiss the misery and hardship that this will cause for people and claim that there are some greater principles involved. You seem unable to articulate what exactly these principles are and how leaving the EU helps advance them other than voicing some vague attachment to racial purity in the UK. I can take no solace from the knowledge that the version of Brexit we are edging towards will deliver the exact opposite of what you want. |
