  1. The UK is no super power. Its a mid-size power with notions about itself.

  2. That's not the case. Virtually every country in the EU has higher growth rates than the UK. Ted Heath was the PM when the UK joined the EEC. The UK joined at a time when it had lost its empire, had no defined role in the world and its economy was in the toilet, having to call in the IMF in 1976. If you 'look at history'as you say, millions died seeking freedom from despotism and imperialism - including from the UK, ironically, when it 'once ruled half the world'. The UK is not a colonised oppressed victim of the EU and any comparison with oppressed peoples of the past is ridiculous. Brexit is an exercise in self-pity. Enjoy you poverty and diminished status in the world.

  3. All the leading Brexiteers in the Tories are Brexit proof. It is the futures of ordinary Britons that they are gambling with.

  4. The UK is leaving the EU, the BoE is just telling you what to expect when it happens. You're screwed.
