Still....as I say above its always interesting to see ourselves as others see us. I realise its painful.

On the contrary Moby, one of the many joys of Brexit is the ongoing consternation of our foreign friends re. our actions.
That consternation will in time evolve into admiration and jealousy.

Quite amusing to see an Indian journalist describe the UK as a fading state and failing economy, when poverty and inequality in highly corrupt India puts anything in the UK in the shade.

It is quite amusing, Wether everyone would agree I do not know.

India is getting progressively better, while the UK is getting progressively worse. So if you want to know what India will look like in 20 years then look at how the UK was before leaving the EU. If you want to see how the UK will look 20 years after leaving the EU then look at India now.

The express makes my skin crawl, so that was a painful read. However I can't find the words "Brexiteer's argument becomes reality". It's just more far right propaganda designed to keep the suckers on the hook.

Are Brexiters afraid of lists? Or just afraid of lists of things that may benefit from Brexit?

My list has been around for a few days.

A list of areas and industries that may be affected in a POSITIVE way after or during Brexit at 21 February 2018

British Farmers who embrace Mr Gove and his environmental initiatives and receive funds from the UK Government.
Indian citizens easier migration
African citizens easier migration
Chinese citizens easier migration
American Farmers
British flower growers
African flower growers


Yet one particular benefit that has been shouted from the rooftops, that has been repeated over and over has not been added.
Well hit me with a wet kipper! Why has no Brexiter added BRITISH FISHING INDUSTRY to the list.

Do not worry I will do it for you.

OK how about -
Primacy of Parliamentary Statute will be restored
Art market won't require a European export license as well as a UK one for art, antiques and collectibles
Key industries can benefit from Government support that is outside the EU state aid rules, if Parliament judges that necessary.
