Expert: Great Britain is about to collapse

69

Well-known Scotland-born 67-year-old journalist, former BBC staffer, TV presenter and writer Gavin Esler is confident of a serious crisis in the UK, which threatens the collapse of the United Kingdom. He wrote about this in his yet unpublished book "How Britain Ends - English Nationalism and the Revival of Four Nations", quotes from which are quoted by the British newspaper Daily Mail.

According to the author, most of the inhabitants of Scotland have several identities at once. They feel that they are not only Scots, but also British and Europeans at the same time.



However, Britain's exit from the European Union hurt the picture of self-identification. Now, many of those who voted against Scottish independence in a referendum in 2014 are willing to support the region's secession from Britain.

The author explains that a significant proportion of Scots are most eager to stay in the EU, and they don't care about Brexit.

Most Scots have an outright disgust at Westminster since 2016

- said Esler, who lives in London.

The author writes that the Scots are extremely annoyed by the apparent incompetence of the last two British governments. This is especially true of the current Cabinet of Boris Johnson. He sadly states that Johnson was never able to rally British citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic and now "the United Kingdom is united in name only", although common problems have brought people closer together for centuries.

Esler drew attention to the fact that even the coronavirus in different regions of the UK is being fought with different methods. Moreover, it is not only the health care systems that differ, this is manifested in all areas, from education to religion.

In the seething rage of English nationalism, we witness the first omens of the end of Britain

- he explains.

The author believes that maintaining the status quo after Brexit is no longer possible in principle. Therefore, there is an option of "re-creating Great Britain through rethinking, the catalyst of which will be discontent." Failure to do so would make the secession of Scotland and possibly Northern Ireland a reality. This crisis "will be much more complex, messy, costly and bitter than Brexit."

He recalled the words of the First Minister of Scotland, Nikola Sturgeon, that many Scots are unhappy with the ignorance of their interests in London and if they want to leave any union, it is the United Kingdom.

I have come to believe that Great Britain is indeed coming to an end. I hear no alarm calls. This is the death knell

- the expert sums up.

      You thought they would drive whiskey on it? With your addictions, you would go to Europe to drink, so to speak, to the world leaders of the alcohol syndrome, well, closer to the source.

      Europe has the highest per capita alcohol consumption, the highest prevalence of episodic heavy drinking
      and the world's lowest rates of complete abstinence from alcohol (WHO, 2018). therefore
      it is not surprising that alcohol-related share of total mortality in Europe
      exceeds a similar share in any other region of the world
      ... It is estimated that every tenth
      deaths in Europe are attributable to alcohol consumption (WHO, 2018).

      https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/336160/WHO-EURO-2020-1239-40989-55615-rus.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y

      And in Russia, alcohol consumption is declining. What is 100% utilization here?

      The results obtained are confirmed by new data from Russian Federation, which show that the establishment of a certain form of Tsmin withcontributed, among other policies, to reduce alcohol consumption and alcohol-related morbidity and mortality

    The United States set new standards for voting late last year.

    Of course, I would like to wish Scotland to achieve independence, but it is hard to believe that the shaves will allow it.

    The last time Scotland held a referendum there was also the opportunity, if I am not mistaken, to vote by mail, for example, to those citizens of Scotland who are abroad.

    Coronavirus, voices in the mail, of course, of course ...

      In general, the situation in the European Union looks like this. European structural and investment funds have spent 6 billion euros over 69 years, an average of 11,5 billion per year.

      https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/stories/s/n4ee-2h83

      For the 2014-2020 program period, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) provides about 69 billion euros in EU budget support to stimulate innovation and productivity in European enterprises. This makes ERDF the largest source of EU funds to support businesses of all sizes.

      41% of this amount goes through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) - European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development
      54,8% through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) - European Regional Development Fund
      Let's see where this money goes. Most (74%) are subsidies. 801 enterprises receive funds to maintain competitiveness. That is, about 371 billion a year is spent on subsidies. This is such a market economy.
      https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/stories/s/Measuring-progress-in-regional-support-for-enterpr/r36v-vmcg

      For 6 years, Estonia has received 738 euros (approximately 506 million annually) through these funds alone, 646 million for industry and 123 million for agriculture.
      https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/themes/3#financing

      There are also other “cash” funds. Just for example, the Solidarity Fund allocates money for disaster recovery and so on. Yes, the amount is not big 1,29 million. I will repeat this is just an example.
      https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/stories/s/qpif-qzyn
      How many such funds and which of them are the amount of a mystery, there are probably programs for the development of infrastructure, ecology, education, and so on. It’s a pity for time to sort out all these intricacies.
      Estonia's GDP for 2014-2020 looks like this (in dollars):
      2014 26,82 billion + 6,08%: 2015 23,06 billion -14,01%: 2016 24,27 billion +5,24%: 2017 26,94 billion + 11,01 %: 2018 30,65 billion + 13,74%: 2019 31,48 billion + 2,71%: 2020 30,47 billion -3,20%. According to my calculations, this is an average growth of 3,5% per year.

      I understand that the calculations are not entirely correct, but I do not want to go deeper, they give a general idea of ​​the size of the Estonian economy. So, on average over 6 years the volume of the economy is 27,17 billion dollars, at the current exchange rate of dollars it is 22,52 billion euros. Growth of 3,5% is 788 million euros per year, of which only subsidies from the above two funds amount to 123 million. And without them, economic growth is already less than 3,5%, in general, the figure was not particularly impressive. Moreover, I am sure that if you dig deeper, the origin of the remaining 665 million per year will be found among the receipts from other funds.

      Now tell us how Estonian ships sail the vastness of big business smile

      It's not bad. The pigs are also well fed to be eaten later.

      The money you are talking about here for the period 2014-2020 amounted to 4,4 billion euros. Of these - 3,6 billion, in the course of the so-called "coercive" policy (policy of cohesion) of the EU.

      And as my colleague Isofat correctly noted, it is this money that is responsible for the fictitious "growth" of the Estonian economy.

      Everything would be fine, but the fact is that the program is over.

      Then you have to "grow" yourself.

      It is interesting to see how you will do this, especially considering that during your independence the population of Estonia has decreased by 15%. This is a catastrophic, for your small country, the outflow of the youngest, qualified and able-bodied personnel to the “near European countries”.

      You were simply milked, as the rest of the European periphery (Latvians, Lithuanians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Poles, etc.)

      Here I am about the same Yes These numbers are suspiciously consistent with economic growth. smile We remove subsidies and there is no growth, it is exaggerated, fictitious, and so on.

      It is considered that Estonia has reached the set 70% and the subsidies will be reduced. But the EU is a union and the union has the right to decide what and how to do.

      This is bad news, as practice shows, Estonia is not able to live independently, only subsidies, either from the USSR or from the EU.

      The development result of Estonia at this stage is very positive. If we take the qualitative indicators of the development of the state, you can hardly show what is better in Russia. Russia is the size and the shaft.

      Why is he so positive? How many subsidies have been pumped in, so much growth is shown. What quality indicators are you talking about? Yes, we have different sizes. What is Estonian Economy? American pilots are on duty there, they spent money in taverns, urinated on the square, paid a fine, and so on. GDP grew by 5%. The Germans replaced them, they were more modest, they drank beer on the sly, GDP collapsed by 5%. These are the economic factors laughing Naturally exaggerating, but I hope the meaning is clear. All your quality indicators are based on the goodwill of Berlin. stop giving money, go and beg. Basically, you boast about Merkel's kindness.

      Russia has everything that nature can give behind. In natural resources once or twice and missed.
      Let's not do demagoguery. What can Russia give its citizens better than the state of Estonia to its own?

      You do not understand? Estonia is a subsidized state. you are the backsliders of the European Union. All you think the state gives you is handouts from Berlin.
      By the way, did you promise anything about the numbers? Apart from 500-700 million grants, I did not notice anything worthy of attention. request

      State sovereignty - the independence of the state in foreign affairs and the supremacy of state power in internal affairs. (this is not an interpretation, rather a definition)

      I always ask democrats about freedom of speech, but they never really explained what it is. smile

    Then I do not understand why the Russian Federation is constantly adjusting to China. In China, Russia is looked at lightly. They even have a characteristic of the Russian Federation as "Little Sister". Ask what it means to them.
    And in real life, the size of the Russian economy for China is simply small. They can buy everything with giblets. And there is nowhere to go to China. So much sovereignty.
    At least under China, but with sovereignty.
    RF will die if it does not trade. Backwardness in technology and many, many things.
    But V.V. Putin will save the Russian Federation. I'm sure)) He does not obey the States like Yeltsin (((

      How else can you do it Yes do you think that such hardworking and the production process is remarkably organized, therefore the productivity is high?

      Labor productivity is calculated by the formula: the value of all final goods and services that are produced in the country, divided by the value of the goods (services) produced. Well, or how much gross domestic product is produced on average by one person. Moreover, accounting is carried out in dollars. How correct such calculations are is a big question.

      Take, for example, the productivity of a medical team doing the same type of surgery in Russia and the United States: the cost of such a service in Russia (say, 200 rubles, that is, less than $ 000) and in the United States ($ 2000) gives us a calculation productivity (in the cost of paid services per doctor), more than 50 times higher in the United States than in Russia, which is absolutely incorrect.

      As for Estonia specifically, your "high" labor productivity is due to the high exchange rate of the euro, to which you have a rather indirect relationship. laughing

      Fixed assets were corrected for subsidies. Do you know what it is?
      In the Russian Federation, they still have a wear rate of 50% or more. Now and then there are tanks bursting and you only hear in the news about the heroes of the plumbing fixing another accident on the heating main ..
      What is the wear rate of the OF?

      Why lie then? Or have you read some nonsense somewhere and are broadcasting to us? Depreciation rate of fixed assets is 37,8%
      https://rosstat.gov.ru/folder/14304

      This is certainly a lot, but not 50%, and work in this direction is underway. Dynamics of entering fixed assets by reference:
      https://rosstat.gov.ru/storage/mediabank/uqLASFAL/VV_graf.pdf

      The pace is quite decent. Do you have them better? Boast, present to the public. And preferably what you do yourself and not on subsidies sad

      We have not had paper work books since 2000. Everything is in the PC.

      Is this a huge achievement? Do you want to say Estonia will be cooler in IT technologies? Do not make me laugh. Almost everything can be done on the Internet. One site of the State Service is worth something.
      https://www.gosuslugi.ru/

      Do you have something similar?

      And without a license, you can drive for 10 years.

      In our villages, where everyone knows each other by sight, this also happens laughing

      And the garbage has been sorted since 2000. And the container does not lie in mountains in the bushes.

      Garbage in our country has also been sorted for a long time, how successful is a controversial issue. We have no time. Can you do it? And if the container is lying around in the bushes, then it's all the Baltic tourists shit sad

      Maybe something about the Russian Federation is the same about achievements?

      All that you write can be attributed to achievements is garbage collection. Well, your territory is scanty, I got up in the morning and got out of it. it's more difficult with us. What else do you have to present? smile

    We must also talk about England

    Why is their monarchy. Only the symbol remained. But many countries, even being independent, are proud to wear the "royal" symbol. This is how one should live and keep the state for centuries and remain a friend of its former colonies.
    There will always be someone who doesn't like something and wants to demolish it to the ground. But practice has shown on the example of RI that there is no benefit from this.
    If Syria, Venezuela, Belarus manage to survive, then England will definitely not collapse, Like the United States and all developed countries. The rabble always have something to eat, what they wear and where to sleep. For most, this is not rebellious enough to live. For the collapse of the revolution, the people need a lot.
    How great would Russia be now and there is revenge in it both to the tsar and to all its heroes Denikin, Kolchak, Yudenich. But all became enemies. And there were really heroes of Russia.
    There is no nation more divided than in Russia. This and the Second World War showed ..

    It is interesting to see how you will do this, especially considering that during your independence the population of Estonia has decreased by 15%. This is a catastrophic, for your small country, the outflow of the youngest, qualified and able-bodied personnel to the “near European countries”.

    There is no disaster the population has been growing for three years. The conditions have been created in the country and the people went to Estonia for permanent residence. And from Russia too.
    You need to update the ROM. But the Russian Federation last year minus 600 thousand of the population. Before you judge others, look in the MIRROR)))

      Vladest... After the annexation of Crimea, according to the UN, the population of Russia increased by two million people at once.

      I remembered this because I recently read about the initiative of the Estonian MPs. They want to discuss in a referendum the initiative for Estonia to join the Russian Federation.

      I have a question for you - tell me, how many people live in Estonia now? laughing

        About a million three hundred thousand.
        The annexation of Crimea was not yesterday. And at the moment the population of the Russian Federation is in the red. Almost 600 thousand last year. See for yourself. They themselves will not lie.
        Do you give a damn about a couple of million refugees from Donbass? Crimea was taken, and the residents of Lugansk and Donetsk did not give a damn about the hopes of getting to Russia.

          I was not too lazy to look at the data for Estonia.

          Estonian population 2020

          According to our estimate, at the end of 2020, the population of Estonia was 1. In 322, the population of Estonia has decreased by approximately 184 people. Taking into account that the population of Estonia at the beginning of the year was estimated at 2020 people, the annual increase was -3%.

          You have negative growth.

            According to the Statistics Estonia, as of 1 January 2019, 1 people lived in Estonia. Thus, the population growth in the country was 324%.
            Estonia's population grew by 2018 in 5687 due to immigration
            The population of Estonia grew by 2017 people in 3499 due to the migration balance
            Actually, this is not very important. It is important from where and where. There are districts in Berlin where 70% of the population are former Russians.
