SOOTHSAYERS ANDTHE EU POST-BREXIT

Europhile soothsayers can't help themselves gloomily gossiping about the UK post-Brexit; and it's a view. 

Here's my view of the post-Brexit scene.

UK commerce and industry, released from unreasonable EU restraints, will blossom. European cars and trucks will disappear from our roads in favour of equally sophisticated Japanese, South Korean, Australian, American and, with the advent of the Electric Vehicle, British alternatives.  

Endless progressions of HGV registered in Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Belgium, France Germany and Holland will also disappear from our roads with their cargos of fruit and vegetables, wine, fish, flowers, plants, cheese, and chocolates, all replaced by UK registered trucks with UK drivers, UK and Worldwide products. 

We can look forward to the return of UK market gardens, and increased production opportunities for UK livestock and cereal farmers. No more wasteful "set-aside." We'll celebrate the re-emergence of UK fruit farms growing apples, pears, and soft fruit. 

And there's more. An increase in the availability of splendid wine from Australia, South Africa, Canada and U.S.A. Greater opportunities for the return of Cottage Industries. Increased production and marketing worldwide of UK specialist Cheese, Chocolate, Honey, Ice Cream, and many other similar UK products whose marketing was stunted, modified, or destroyed by restrictive EU regulation.

The return of UK engineering and electrical workshops making spare parts and accessories for vehicles. Increased employment and export opportunities  A return of the UK fishing industry. A proud industry savagely destroyed by membership of the E.U. A return of the UK Power Industry and accompanying Heavy Engineering. No reliance on imported electricity.

The UK Finance industry, enviously admired by European financial markets, will go from strength to strength released from the predatory inclinations of Frankfurt and Paris. No more the need to weigh incestuous deals simply for the sake of self-preservation. Free to operate on the World market within UK regulations unfettered by EU interference. 

No more payments to the EU Club and, of course, no more expectation of something in return. A net financial benefit. No more need to share costly Intelligence with the EU and, of course no expectation of anything in return. 

Holidays in Europe becoming a rarer occurrence as consumers venture further afield and discover there's no noticeable cost differential as European costs soar and its economies and the Euro stutter following Brexit.

Further Countries will shortly follow the UK example and eventually the EU will realise it has self-destructed.
