Impressions

 Alex Krainer is an author and a former hedge fund manager, from Monaco. He was a speaker at the Better Way Conference. He recently wrote an article about his visit to the UK. It's interesting to read of his perception of our country. What did he think about it? 

Here is a little bit of the article. Thanks to a reader across the pond for sending me a link to this.  

The economic and social conditions I could observe during my 4-day visit were disheartening. People on the street - most of them perhaps - do not appear prosperous. Physically, they're not the picture of radiant health, far from it. For a tourist spot, the city of Bath - otherwise a very beautiful place - is surprisingly dirty and homeless people are pretty much everywhere. Bristol, where I spent a day, looks even worse. The fact that the ordinary Britons are truly struggling is now quite visible.

Immigration into Britain has reached the highest figures ever recorded: 606,000 people in 2022. And this is all awesome, because immigration supposedly helps economic growth. Somehow however, the first 8 million immigrants over the last 25 years did not yet do the trick. Perhaps the next 100,000 or so will improve things? If not, another million or another ten? This is a failed system and calling it successful will require increasingly absurd level of lying and increasingly harsh suppression of truth.

After a good start, now the rain comes down, in bucket loads. Thanks for popping in.
