What is important is that we make the UK a better place to live.
We can do this in a number of ways.
Reducing Immigration, collecting NHS Treatment Costs, better training for our own, greatly reducing our Foreign Aid and keeping our noses out of things that are nothing to do with us.
Brexit is just the first step on the road to this.

It is our government's fault that all of these things are not changing.

And they just can’t wait to prove their credentials by dishing out the insults and wait, tongue hanging out and panting with eagerness for a sycophantic backslap or condescending pat on the head from their Brexiter chums. Ego stroking and bonding exercise combined. Never fails.

The real problem, of course, is that there is no suitable party to replace the Conservatives.
Compo and the Loonies are unelectable for obvious reasons.
The minor parties are unlikely to gain much support either, including the Limp Dems (who are they?).
An even worse option seems to be appearing: B Liar and his 'Centrist Party'. I'm sure I don't need to say any more about him.
So what can we do?

Re: Not going well for Trade deals.
I can't believe that people here are championing a shrinking economy and installing some sort of puppet leader whose bottom end will be filled with "the hand of the people".Yet somehow we will be able to fund the NHS and maintain a standard of living. I really do think that despite being intelligent and articulate, some of you have absolutely no understanding of economics, business and finance. We are part of a global economy.

Yes,we are part of the Global Economy.
However that economy is changing, Brexit or no Brexit and we need to change accordingly.

Re: Not going well for Trade deals.
Revolutions have never in history taken those who set them off to their desired location.The sort of proposals I see here would greatly devalue the pound and lead us into a tinpot-backwater of power cuts and hyperinflation. Economic suicide, social Armageddon. No wonder May is looking for a war to hide behind.
