This is all very well put.

I look at the situation - strategically, economically, socially - and it makes me want to scream, the UK never understood how good they had it with the pound/euro deal and it's prominence in policy - and that's gone, bye bye. Any Britain that does go back will be very different - and I think it may eventually end up being that after Scotland leaves for the EU. And never count out the Welsh, they may follow Scotland too.

Still, it'll take a crisis or a war or something.
