We knew this would be the case ... but I'm sure Vetran will be along soon to blame the manufacturers for not working hard enough or something

No no. Fewer exports is a good thing. It means the UK is more self-sufficient, and therefore more economically resiliant.

It was never about economic benefits, they're just the icing on the cake (or not).
Although it's pretty hard to establish after such a short time what the effects really will be, especially when the world has been shut the entire time.

Was it was? Drinking early today? No, it wasn't. Those were just tactics. It wasn't about immigration either.
It "was it was" about non-tangible things such as national pride and all that stuff.

Are you unfamiliar with IT?!

I didn't say I agreed with it. But that IS what Brexit is about. Pride/ego/patriotism/willy-waving. Just like Scottish independence.
