What harm can it do if the economy is already at death's door?
It's not like we export much, so who cares if those we tax from outside the eurozone start crying. Just don't tax the stuff we don't already have in enough quantities, such as oil.

What can we actually do in 10-15 years time? Exercise strategy on something nobody has any expertise of??? Hoping that we can get money on copyrights forever?
