BB, Ath, guys I get it, I voted remain also but don’t get defeatist about it. We are the third largest GDP in the EU, projections even after Brexit expect us to overtake France to become 2nd on the block and we are probably the largest contributor to NATO outside the US. January the 31st isn’t the end, it’s just the beginning (major Gorgonzola alert) new trade and movement deals will be made, the powerful German Auto giants are probably already lobbying on our behalf. I’d agree there are some absolute idiots making a lot of noise on the Brexit side but there are also some very sound economic arguments for being somewhat independent. We have the transition period plus any thing that gets dealt in the interim, worst case I think is EEC type deal but beyond that Maybe a Swiss style deal. We are too large, too important as a security partner and too significant in global culture to be Ignored.
