Of course the other members of the EU aren't going to treat us with due consideration. After all, they've had most of our fish, and destroyed the UK fishing fleet. They've killed our steel industry, and we've been turned into an offshore island, with no more juice left for them to suck. They have emasculated our haulage industry, with the help of succesive UK governments who have pushed up fuel prices, with the result that we cannot compete on price with continental hauliers.
We are left with a highly skilled and adaptable work force, desperately seeking employment.
Unfortunately most of them are Polish!
