So that’s it then. No way back. The open door to Europe will close and we will look to sell whatever it is we still make to the rest of the world.
We are not a world power and we have not been for 70 years. We punch above our weight but I cannot see how we can compete with the likes of China, India, Japan going forwards as they simply have too many resources to hand.
And on a personal level I feel stateless. I’ve always considered myself European and I hate (& fear) the little England mentality (I deliberately leave out wales and Scotland).
