Initially there will be shocks like swathes of job losses as companies, foreign and British, relocate to more fruitful pastures. There are also sure to be pleasant surprises when Brexit UK bags major trade deals across the world and rejoices in showing two fingers to Europe, with Europe reciprocating the rude gesture whenever they triumph.
We shall also see tit-for-tat trade tariffs imposed with a vengeance, plus long queues of traffic on both sides of the English Channel as the two adversaries spitefully insist on time-consuming bureaucratic processes to upset each other. However, as the years click by, I think the UK and EU will steadily see sense in forming a mutually beneficial new trading relationship, co-existing in perfect harmony on every level.
Do you agree?
