While my view of Brexit pre-Corona was clear, now that the virus has made itself felt and leaves a huge stamp on the economies aorund the globe, I just do not know and am in sort of an idle mode regarding whether Brexit still can be financially and economically shouldered by the UK. Its a complete and total game change, and I struggle to come to terms with assessing it. Problems are mounting, not just inside the UK, but outside as well. Chinese National Socialism has become a most agressive factor (Hongkong, South Chinese Sea), a police state of most brutal and militaryily aggressive, intimidating proportions, Trump's America is untrustworthy and no basis you want to build your future on, and the EU is obsessed with turning Brexit into a punishing precedence for showing that turning your back on the block must see you ending in misery. The latter was to be expected and I thinl could have been handled. But China and the USA failing to be trustworthy fundaments in economic relations is a very big problems with outlooks as uncertain as they can be. That is while the EU's position against china is not one bit better, and extremely weak. Many other nations refuse to make deals with the UK now due to pressure from either the EU, or China. And Trump wants to abuse the UK's dependency on a deal for his own personal political benefit: he will not behave as a close, specially related friend, rest assured. He will make the UK pay for any deal it wants, and then pay more.

It seems to me that maybe the UK has fallen out of the allowing time window. The endless delay game, last but not least by May and then by parliament, now takes revenge.

I have turned pessimistic that Brexit can work out well anymore. And it is questionable to me that Johnson could win another election after the past autumn. The new Labour leader is of another callibre than the collection of walking dead before, and thus more attractive as an alternative than Corbyn ever was.


I hope I get proven wrong, though.
