      My prediction: 15 years times we will look back on the EU and think "was there ever any point"

        started early again?
        ]Maybe innovation is less important than keeping the 50% of every population that is thick in employment. Germany may not be as innovative but they have Loads of 100 year old family owned companies that simply are the best at what they do.
        Contrast an innovative Dyson (utter plastic crap) with a Miele (excellent).
        if our innovation is so great how come our current account deficit is the largest in the developed world?

          Wrong. In 15 years the younger generation will take us back in.

            The EU or whatever it is called then won't want us back as we would have sold everything to China.

              Do you reckon you'll live to see it at your current rate?

                Without Scotland the UK would not be doing nearly as well.

                  Well Britain might have wait a bit longer to become "great" again.

                    Good. By delaying indefinitely we show that we have taken back control.
