Analysis which rings true, unfortunately. Nothing much we can do about it, either.
We really have got ourselves into a mess.

Post-European? Which continent are we joining?

Seems to be a lot of assumptions and rubbish in that article. Remainers want to keep the myth of pulling up the drawbridge going as it suits the agenda.

It's not very isolationist to be a member of NATO and the UN. It's not very isolationist to want to make trade deals with the wider world.

Truly impaired.

How are the trade discussions with other countries coming along?

Really? Which assumptions, which rubbish?

I don't agree with every word, but I do think that we are pulling out of Europe, in the broader, although obviously not literal, sense, whether we like it or not.

If this was about practical issues, like the economy, there is no way that we would leave the EU.

This is about, inmho, some idea that we have a different destiny from the rest of Europe and/or that our interests are not the same as the other European democracies.

I'd like someone to tell me which trade deals will be the most beneficial to us, the country with the second largest trade deficit on earth, and whose biggest export, services is now almost certainly going to be heavily restricted in by far its biggest market.

Note to self. Should Corbyn win on Thursday please don't spend the next 11 months blubbing about it.

Very good. Funny but depressingly true.

This stood out:

"Brexiteers propose instead recapturing the spirit of an earlier Elizabethan age, when plucky English buccaneers forged pathways to the New World. This is a delusion based on a fantasy of how the 21st-century world works.

What ever happened to internationalist Britain?"

And we can't make a single trade deal whilst still a member of the EU.
