We WOULD sell to the EU ....... for one. It would be slightly less advantageous that's all ...... if Brexit ever happens, which is a giant IF anyway. But we are a net-importer aren't we? Our cost of living will rise in some areas, but you think they won't want to sell us the stuff their largely inefficient farmers produce?
You choose your old-fashioned industries very carefully Dancing ......... you don't mention sectors in which Britain isn't only a European leader, but a global leader. Why do you think Paris and Frankfurt are trying to entrap our financial sector? We are way ahead of the rest of Europe in new technology, we don't only need their scientists, they need the opportunities our innovation and research industries provide. They desperately need our arms industry and our arms capability, they need to benefit from our defence expenditure and our intelligence networks. They need to benefit from our arts and cultural scene attracting all industries from around the world to set up bases here. They need us because our language has come to dominate global trade and provides us with opportunities right across the world. Project EU is barely functioning properly now if you look at the loser nations who have to be bailed out to keep their heads above the Med'. They are negotiating from fear, that's why everything has to become a negative. They might be RIGHT! But if Brexit were to happen and it did go tits, the effects wouldn't only be seen in Britain.
The EU needs us for lots of the stuff I dislike about us. And they don't seem to like us as much as I like them. It's only their ruling class I want to overthrow ......... It is a bloated oligarchy of the nouveau-riche. I don't fear Brexit for our trading future, but its potential effects on education, research, co-operation and human understanding do frighten me. Global migration is building walls not only in Trump's America, but in India and Hungary and Macedonia ........... I don't want us to put our wagons in a circle - I want us to look outwards, but bureaucratic checkpoint charlies at the edges of an undemocratic monopoly-capitalist European superstate can't be the limits of our vision.
But in the end my view is as irrelevant as yours. Ain't happening, not sure how ....... yet. But we're staying and we'll make a fcku-pu of doing it too. Bremain comes home to roost.
