HKFuey - "Brexit was a scream from the British people"...? I think you'll find that 48% screamed against it and that the 52% screaming for it had a large contingency that will (with all due respect) probably be dead before the end of this decade. Brexit was a huge con secured through lies, some of which were painted on the side of a bus! Where is that US trade deal we were told would be the easiest in history? Nowhere, that's where. The gullible public lapped up the lies and we all got pulled down by their inability/unwillingness to separate fact from fiction.
I'm not sure what German capital you're referring to but I wish we had half of their motor industry. EVs are the future and VW (including Audi, Porsche and Bugatti), BMW and Mercedes are all industry leaders. They have been and always will be. We will always drive German cars, drink French wine and holiday in Spain and Italy. The EU has industries that we will never be able to compete with and that's a fact.
And let's not forget, without the "hippy poo" we would have woken up to the climate crisis far too late. I, for one, am grateful that there have been people out there for decades fighting to save the planet. We all owe them a debt of gratitude IMHO. I'm pretty sure we'd be really screwed without their efforts.
