    I would like to change that. I reckon UK is too heavily dependent on financial services - which is great for me but not for the UK. Making things on the other side of the planet then shipping them round the globe is not exactly great for the environment either. You may say I'm a dreamer....

    See response above.
    Not saying that isn't a great dream, but at least you need to sell it without lying, tell people that maybe UK will struggle for 10/15/20 years and then might try to become the greatest country on earth. Not that as soon as we leave the EU we will become the greatest country on earth!

      I suspect the only way the UK will become the greatest country on earth is by people struggling. So a return to Victorian times then.

      The UK is certainly a great country. Let down by the idiots in Westminster.

          In other news its raining. And I blame Brexit for that as well. We used to have proper continental hot weather. This summer has been miserable. Once the UK leaves the EU properly I expect a winter to rival 1963.
          And we have a cauliflower crisis now too.

            Shortage. You're the only one calling it a crisis.

                We import 35k tonnes warm water prawns from non-EU sources, and export 6k tonnes of that to the EU. Once the EU market closes there should be a glut of M&S prawn sandwiches.

                  Ireland is bracing itself for the M&S sandwich shortage.
