Re: Lining Up For The Race, We Have.....
It's true.
Until recently, the EU leaders have been trying to assure us that they would be more than happy to see us gone.
Remember that documentary shot in the EU offices; EU politicians congratulating each other and laughing at us. Some of them on that documentary proclaimed that we should just get on with it and leave.
Funny how they're not saying that now, isn't it?
Now that, in the absence of Treason May, we are becoming closer to actually leaving their little club.
As others have said, yes, there will be problems initially but we shall quickly overcome them despite the promises of the prophets of doom.
When we are able to trade with the world we shall have the choice of from whom to buy the goods we want and if the EU choose to try to punish us by imposing heavy tariffs, we shall buy elsewhere.
German car makers and French farmers will not be very pleased when we are buying alternatives to their products from such places as Japan, Korea and the Anglophone Commonwealth countries.
If they don't want to pay for our services, such as university education, etc., that is their choice if they think they are punishing us for daring to leave their empire.
Whether our imports or exports, I have a feeling that they will soon change their minds before the EU collapses completely, and then individual member states will also have the choice as to whom they trade with.
