British productivity is among the best in the world, unfortunately the agenda of the unions, the EU and left wing governments destroyed everything.
Looking on the bright side, as well as leaving the EU our unions are no longer as powerful as they used to be.
They're also short-sighted, fortunately. In demanding workers' rights and more and more money, they have frightened away investors who, as has been said, moved abroad.
Consequently, all the unions have achieved is to lose their workers employment.
I think those workers have now realised the danger of powerful left-wing unions and are turning their back on them.
The TGW union is still trying it on, especially in Londonistan on the Underground. I have a feeling that they might decide to convert to more driverless trains and, consequently, reduce the union's clout.
Trade unions were an essential thing in the old days when greedy business owners tried to work their workforce for as little as they could pay them. Things are now changing and, largely due to legal enforcement, that can no longer happen.
Unions like they used to be cannot exist for much longer, and I believe that will be for everyone's benefit.
