Not with a Tory government in charge. Why would the EU even *want* them?

With every day that goes by, the loss of the EU as a trading partner is softened by the realization that they really didn’t supply much of anything that couldn’t be shifted sideways and made by others. Finance is going to Germany. Agriculture can be moved to any number of places on the Continent.

Now, airplane wings for Airbus are a problem. But the Germans and the French are ready to stand in and replace the English within two years.

The UK is going to lose Scotland in two years, and Northern Ireland is looking shaky, because the Unionists in the North, who hate the idea of reuniting with the Republic, are just beginning to realize how fucked they are to be out of the EU. Wales? We’ll see. They have always hated the English, however.

The UK will disappear and England will be a smaller, much poorer country after the inevitable long-term real estate collapse because of the flight of wealth from the country.

Who wants to live in quaint, economically isolated country with thatched-roof cottages?

They chose to shoot themselves in the foot and in doing so the Sun has FINALLY set on the British Empire.
