    We have to embrace Europe

    This UK is bankrupt. We don’t produce anything worth buying and are living off past glory. Our currency becomes more and more worthless each day. It’s time for us to ditch the Pound, embrace the EU and sponge off the French and Germans. Discuss.

      Sounds like a good plan to me.
      We could be a huge offshore language centre.
      Our Chinese and Indian immigrants could teach them Hindi and Mandarin in preparation for what's coming.
      Hard Brexit now!

        According to UN figures, the UK has the 6th highest output of manufactured goods in the world, behind the US, China, Japan, Germany and Italy (though I think France have overtaken us since these figures came out).

        But hey, don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.
        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

            Would that be all the cars we manufacture on behalf of other countries?

                    UK makes in large quantities these.

                    Pound would have to drop to a gram in order to export these
