    And more importantly why should little Britain keep holding the EU to ransom? We needed to either commit or leave and the remainders were sat in a position where they wrongly thought they had a choice.
    To do what is best for little Britain. F**k Europe......

In reality on most important issues the UK could have and did block eg the Euro.

    I see the UK is now a weaker negotiater, before the UK could have held the entire EU-US deal to ransom if it didn't get what it wanted, now it'll be little UK (without Scotland) grovelling for a trade deal to stimulate trade. The US will probably offer fait a complit.

    I'm sure Trump and Boris will thump out a deal that's right for the people. It's not like they'd lie to us in order to service their own agenda.

    You wouldn't want to be the English politician that took that bait. It's one thing for it to come through a back door where you can point at a bunch of EU robots and say they did it to us. But standing in Downing Street and saying look what I did would be suicide.

    I'd have a little think about offering more free money to film makers and hydrogen fuel energy start ups... Maybe hand that to Scotland now we don't have give a **** about illegal government aid...

    Yesterday a woke up to having my country back and a contract for a years work in my inbox. Double boomed

    The markets pay attention to them and that's all that matters.
