Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Listening to Parliamenr debate on the Withdrawal Bill. Mike Gapes is talking about the problems of Anguilla which is a British Oversea Territory. While he is not a great speaker, the problems he is raising are highly significant. For example 36% of its national income is from the EU and there is no commitment to provide that from the UK. There is no airport, because it has relied one on Saint Martin (French & Dutch)


I think it fair to say that very few of us who voted Leave or Remain gave such places a passing thought. Gibraltar or the Falklands, perhaps, but not other places.
