You don't get it Stanron do you. The UK doesn't have a "capacity for innovation, technical excellence and Human Rights". These things are not within the capacity of a country. They are within the capacity of highly educated and skilled people. And highly educated and skilled people are incredibly mobile. Th eUK at p[resent benefits from that through people from the EU moving here to supply those skills. But now you say you don't want Freedom Of Movement, you don't want these highly skilled people. Moreover British people with these skills are also highly mobile. And with the loss of Horizon2020, Erasmus, Euratom, the European Medicines Agency and a whole host of other things, what incentive is there for highly mobile, highly skilled British people to stay. They will be off, obtaining citizenships elsewhere.
