You described the process as something that was quite polite. It was more like they screamed, yelled at, smeared and insulted everyone who warned them. And when people informed them that the warnings started visibly coming true, they doubled down and declared everyone as an enemy.
Brexit process and its aftermath was a crazy, crazy case study, once in a lifetime observation opportunity for social sciences.
not sure that there was 700 billion spend during covid.
but there's nothing wrong with pumping money into an economy that you have forcibly restricted (or that is in a recession for that matter)
the issue is that you need to be in control of where it ends up. UK has an extremely financialised economy where nearly everything anyone uses or does flows up to the top. Therefore taxes needed to be increased and targeted on where the money flowed to to avoid even further accumulation of assets by a small pct of the population.
