Mind you, that article does go to show that other people had started to plan for a Brexit in other countries which seems to be more than the UK government have...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Sometime between my teenage years and middle age Britain turned into a banana republic. Banana republic is as banana republic does and we have all the key properties: the populists who manipulate people with poor education, the huge debt, the "reliance on strangers" economy, and most of all the misplaced exceptionalism.
I remember going for interview at GEC Rugby. What happened to GEC, ICI and the like. If we had them the numbers would have added up for Brexit, now they don't as some of you innumerate dolts are about to discover.Comment

It's Maggie's insistence that manufacturing could be got rid of and that services were the way forward. I agreed with her at the time, how could I not, I was a passionate programmer in my teens. Now with the benefit of hindsight and experience, it seems obvious that with that policy 50% of the population would be left behind. We needed the factory jobs if not the mines. If we had those we would also have something to sell the rest of the world. you can't sell services into India, China or Brazil, at least not for a very long time.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
