Most everyday products cheaper in UK than in EU

As European Union countries face recession with the price of everyday use products being more expensive than in the United Kingdom, the anti-Brexit argument collapses. After Covid and following the hardships generated by a conflict in Eastern Europe, the British economy is on the way up. No recession in the horizon for British consumers and British workers. 

If prices in Continental Europe are higher, Britain faces no limits in terms of acquiring basic products outside the European Union at lower prices. The benefits of this is twofold. Firstly, it allows Britain to ease the pressure on British consumers and, secondly, it allows Britain to interact more with Developing Economies thus improving trade relations with less fortunate countries.

Outside the parentage of the European Union, Britain can now go for expansion across the rest of the world, something that will improve Britain's standing as a trading nation. Massive areas of the world, highly populated areas of the world, are now open for business. 

Potash, critically important resource for both agriculture and weapons industries, does not come from Germany, France or any other EU country. Argentina, to name just one country, has potash and companies like Rio Tinto have dealt with such an important resource. Most of the world outside the European Union is mainly agricultural. So this is a wonderful opportunity for Britain to revitalize its industrial base and expand its trade with agricultural countries.

As several EU countries know fairly well, EU is a political project. Nertherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Poland - to name a few - have been at odds with the EU for one reason or another for very fundamental reasons. Why should Netherlands have less energy and less farming? Why should Poland and Hungary be pressured to force them to accept to change their demographic make up with unbridled migration and forces to pay for their reluctance to accept demographic changes?

Present recession realities across the EU tell you that politics seems to matter more than economics and recession comes with huge social costs.
