Should we get the spitfires warmed up? I prefer cold beer or ideally, no beer, but your attempts at humour do require intoxication to be effective.

Which is a highly salient point. The future is always a bit hard to predict. It's an awful lot harder if you take a total leap in the dark, with no knowledge of how the future will unfold and absolutely no plan. More often than not that ends badly.

On the other hand, they still have an indigenous manufacturing industry. This isn't war. The politics is self-serving. The economics is far more crucial for the longer term. But instead we dick around with populism. And we allow our 'leaders', those that talk a good talk, to convince us that losing a huge amount of economic value is a 'good thing'. This word populism. Are you suggesting that there should be a threshold of intelligence below which people should not be allowed an opinion? The whole point of the referendum was that this was a question of sovereignty that could not be decided by bureaucrats alone. It is only because the bean counters did not get the result they wanted that they now talk of populism.
