Interesting................perhaps he was just 'blowing smoke", but there was this today from Boris Johnson:
"It is clear that some have feelings of dismay, and of loss, and confusion," Johnson wrote in an opinion piece for the Telegraph newspaper Monday. He blamed a "climate of apprehension," adding: "At home and abroad, the negative consequences are being wildly overdone, and the upside is being ignored."
I had always thought the three strongest countries in the EU were UK, Germany and France, and that, once all the panic subsides (admittedly could take a while), in the end the EU will need the UK more than vice versa (perhaps why EU are insisting the exit happen quick before panic subsides and world realizes this?), as all the other countries in the EU, except for these three (frankly always thought the UK was the strongest of the three, and wisest too in keeping the pound, which yes is taking a pounding now (could not resist)) are basket cases to one degree or another
