Reply to comment by wansuitree in [OC] History of how the U.S. economy outstripped the U.K. economy and how Brexit deepened the gap by tabthough

Brexit didn't become formal in 2017. What are you talking about? They had barely started negotiations at that point.

What are YOU fucking talking about?

"On 29 March 2017, the British government formally began the withdrawal process by invoking Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union with permission from Parliament."

Can you not read what you wrote? They began the withdrawal process then. They had not left as they were negotiating what leaving would look like. January 31 2020 was when they finally left.
