  1. It's all about the chlorinated chicken! Well, I am kidding, but only by half. Actually, chlorinated chicken helped sink the trade deal with the EU. You know, it's all about standards (and protectionism). Actually, Peter's gloom and doom about the UK seems somewhat out of step with information I have seen. Demographically they are doing better than the continent. Part of that is due to immigration. More people want to go to the UK, and the Brits do a better job of assimilating them. Heck, they have a Prime Minister who is of South Asian descent. Could you imagine a Turkish chancellor of Germany? How about an Algerian President of France? That comes from being a multi-ethnic empire. There are some interesting stories about that. Things could have gone any number of ways. Of course, a lot of it could do with the language. As Monty-Python liked to say, if you speak English loud enough and slow enough anyone can understand. Try that with German. People would be cowering in fear or running away. But really, the projections I see show the UK catching up and surpassing Germany in GDP within a decade. It would be interesting to delve more into the dynamics of that situation vis-a-vis Peter's projections.
