Hard Brexit - will there any way back?

Government policy is to retool for jam, tea and biscuit exports.

British tea, jam and biscuits will be at the heart of Britain's Brexit trade plans

And the more competitive sterling becomes, the greater the opportunity.

That's going to be difficult if we need to import the sugar, flour, and tea leaves. Apart from that though, we're all good

Don't knock it, it's a "2.9 billion boost over 5 years" apparently. That should sort out half the NHS's loo-roll requirement over the period.

This fits in with the expansion of fruit farms and small fishing boats to replace the exodus of investment banks and high end manufacturing.

And of course JRM will be encouraging workers who've lost their manufacturing jobs to get on their bikes and fill the zero hours London barista vacancies.

...and after Theresa May's speech the pound plunges even further down.

A no deal will be a blood bath.

Let's say there's a hard Brexit and all the Japanese companies leave (they have said several times they can't afford to operate in the UK in that event - and their PM has confirmed with May that is the case) , then what happens if and when the factories close?
I doubt there's any British business that can take on mass car manufacturing (or would want to, or has the experience to for that matter).
Brexiters themselves have previously said this is what will happen. Their solution is for sacked employees to do some "marketing".
But market what?
