Our aerospace industries have a great future and aren't subsidiaries of EU Inc Perhaps the EU should double down and ban collaboration with US and Chinese tech companies as they're not part of the EU deal either

                      He was a man learned for those times, of ripe old age, and in his early youth had hazarded a deed of remarkable boldness. He had by some means, I scarcely know what, fastened wings to his hands and feet so that, mistaking fable for truth, he might fly like Daedalus, and, collecting the breeze upon the summit of a tower, flew for more than a furlong [201 metres].
