    It is comfortable to blame others, I'll give you that.

    Compared to a number of other smaller EU states (and larger) infrastructure has remained state owned. Here in the UK we privatise the lot for a quick cash injection and happy shareholders. Profit is not returned to the state, why would we expect improvement?

    Indeed small businesses throughout Germany receive much support from the state, selling their products throughout the EU. The UK is about to throw a number of hurdles in front of small business to access the EU. If I were a small business I'd be seriously looking to relocated to the larger customer base.

    In my view the UK can only blame itself. I recall the third Heathrow runway being discussed 16 year ago. It'll be beyond 20 before it becomes. Meanwhile Germany has built a new high-speed railway between Munich and Berlin.

    As the saying goes you don't know what you've lost until it's gone. And it's not a lesson that needs teaching as younger generations shall now be deprived of opportunity by a hysterical older generation.
    Up down or stagnating was the question!

      "Really? No-one else in the club has such a deal."
      "Well, I don't like the paying and I don't like the rules. I don't like how we vote. You're all a dictator. I've decided - I'm leaving. I'm cancelling my membership."
      "OK"
      "But I still want access."
      "Right. OK - we can sort out some partial access deal... but you'd need full membership for full access."
      "Oh, so you want to punish me for not being a member, eh?!"
      "No..."
      "Yes, you're punishing me. You're just like a WWII prison guard beating me for trying to escape."
      "Um, what? You're free to go..."
      "You need me more than I need you!"
      "Please go..."
      ...
      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.

        Now I know where I've been going wrong all along. I've stupidly been paying my tennis club dues for 5 years. Tomorrow I'm going to stop paying and demand free access to the courts and club house. Because I'm worth it.
        Hard Brexit now!
