Both The Telegraph (HERE) and The Spectator (HERE) and probably others too, have run editorial pieces this week exhorting everyone to be optimistic about Britain’s future outside the EU. Like Mrs May they now expect remainers to do a volte face and become enthusiastic leavers. This is not going to happen.
In many ways the journalists who produce these pieces have little or no idea what they are talking about but have an infinite capacity for self-delusion, a bit like England football supporters. No matter what the evidence of past performance is they continue to have an unshakeable belief in the team. They both seem to forget what life was like in the late 60s and early 70s and why we joined the EU in the first place.
At least then we had industries like steel, cars, tyres, motorbikes, cement, energy, chocolate and a host of others. They are now either gone or are foreign owned. If we were unable to succeed then how on earth do they think we'll do it now?
