A “nation of shopkeepers” seems to be downing its shutters … where are you Edward Gibbon?

This infographic is stunning proof of the disastrous course that BREXIT has indeed put Britain (ex-Ireland) upon… !

For a nation that since Napoleon had been globally reputed to be “a nation of shopkeepers” it is shameful fall indeed for its Trade-to-GDP ratio to fall from 102 to 88 in less than 4 years while the rest of EU and G7 countries have thrived and even overtaken it ! 

The United Kingdom: the UK missed out on the post-COVID trade rebound.

How I wish now that the story of the decline and fall of the British Empire would get written in truly epic style by yet another Edward Gibbon of our modern times !
