What worries me is how many will try to make us fail to say they told us so.
This is exactly why we need a plan and a very slow transition period. That's not acceptable to some but I don't understand why such a monumental change to our economy has to be rushed. It's just the media winding people up. It's the same reason TM was rushed into triggering article 50 - the media and political extremists.

The UK total trade deficit (goods and services) narrowed £6.7 billion to £30.8 billion in the 12 months to April 2018. An improvement to the trade in services balance was the main factor, as the trade surplus the UK has in services widened £9.9 billion to £108.7 billion.12 Jun 2018
Do try and put both sides of the story otherwise people may think you are biased. Lets see what happens when we don't have anyone to trade with eh?

She's dressed that way because she wants her country's new 'guests' to feel comfortable, accepted and at home.
