Today the British people
abandoned the cause of European developement aimed at preventing centuries of hostile and competing nation states leading to militiarism turned its back on an outdated institution and regained its freedom.
We will continue to trade freely with the EU with full controls over our borders
we haven't the faintest idea of whom our trading partners may be and whether we will be able to exert any more control than in the past
The interests of British nationals elsewhere in the EU will be fully respected under the new arrangements and millions of workers and pensioners need not fear that their rights to remain, work and receive health care will be in any way jeopardised
We have no idea what will happen to them or to UK institutions and businesses that employ EU citizens or which are interlocked with the EU institutions.
We will retreat into being a closed and xenophobic society in which foreigners can be freely blamed for everything, just as they are in Trump's USA we will continue to uphold traditional British values of liberty and tolerance, just not quite as libertarian and tolerant as before
If the eastern frontiers of Europe crumble under Russian aggression, lack of investment and a renewed vicious nationalism, and slide into Balkans style conflicts with barbed wire frontiers and deportations, it's nothing to do with us.
We could have promoted British values in Europe. Now we can only fulminate on the sidelines
The UK will continue to be a United Kingdom with the whole-hearted consent of all of its citizens
Bye Bye Scotland, all the best
