    No wonder The Times reports this weekend that the Conservative government has put plans in place to declare Martial Law in the event of no deal Brexit disruption and it's associated civil unrest.

    Combine that with suggestions of asking the Queen to suspend Parliament and we may end up with a very un-British coup.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    If UK is out of EU, we can set our own trade terms which may lead to lots of companies jumping out of EU to UK.

    What terms do you imagine this will be for say lamb and cars?

    BMW , Tesla and Co are investing in plants in China. Days of volume car exports are numbered.

    Investment in diesel output is likewise proved to be a costly misjudgement.

    The economic future lies in Asia.

    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    Population is younger, harder working and more entreprenurial.

    Even China is struggling to compete with cheaper labour in Vietnam and Cambodia. The world is opening up at a frantic pace. The old post war empires are in decline.

    Yes, but we aren't in Asia. We are in Europe.

    “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

    Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

    In general those with higher population growth are expected to rise up the ranking, and vice-versa.

    Having worked in some of those countries, I do have some reservations. Can Nigeria overcome their culture of corruption and and fulfill their potential? Can Vietnam overcome their opaque governance which acts as a strong business deterrent?

    So that's what they meant with 'take back control'.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.
