The long term financial effects of the Covid 19 situation will occur for at least two generations worldwide. So if we consider the relative viability of economies worldwide this is unaltered. Now let's consider the effect of the UK leaving the EU. The UK has currently got more than 50 free trade deals worldwide and is in negotiations with many more countries. It is much easier for the UK to get trade deals than it is for the EU because the EU has to have all its members to agree to the deal before it can proceed. On lots of occasions one or more EU countries have stymied the deal because the object country seriously competes with it in a key business aspect.

Of course the viability of the EU is in serious doubt because the UK, which was one of the two countries permanently subsidising the entire organisation, left the EU at the end of January this year. Thus that is a lot of money that the EU is not getting and the UK is keeping. So that alone seriously tilts the economic comparison between the EU and the UK in favour of the UK.

The UK is now free to trade in the World Premier League. It can stride forward confidently with its renowned initiative and enterprise. In this respect the EU is seriously inhibited because for the reason given above the EU detests worldwide competition whereas the UK is gagging for it.

There can only be increasing demand to get to the UK. A lot of this demand is by naive people who think that if they can reach the UK they will be housed, given money and will not have to work. Clearly this is not true. In the UK you can prosper and although there are other ways to do that the main way is to work hard, have skill and be competitive. The competitive aspect sets the UK substantially economically above the EU, which cannot avoid going bankrupt.
