I posted this the other day in "Oplas Perspectives" viber group.
As I often say, when other people self destruct, we should not interrupt. Climate agenda, net zero and decarbonization goals sinking the UK. Expensive energy, many manufacturing plants fleeing UK. Plus high cost of illegal immigration. Plus billions sent to Ukraine.
UK officials should be ashamed of what they have done to their own economy. They should sulk in one corner and reflect the damage they have done, instead of lecturing many developing countries aspiring to industrialize that they should follow UK deindustrialization.
Meanwhile, enjoy these reports.
