Unbiased advice at reasonable rates
I don't for one minute believe that Britain will need 'aid' of the type he is suggesting, but the failure of the Brexiteers to understand that undoing 47 years of intertwined systems wasn't going to be 'months' or a few years fell on deaf ears. The failure to do a long term transition strategy well before plotting a referendum, is not just a disservice to the population, it is akin to a crime, with 52% willing victims aiding and abetting it!“This is not a period of adaptation, it is a rather permanent reality and fact linked to voluntary isolation and myths of sovereignty in an interdependent world. The only way out of this mess is the gradual return to cooperation with eventual discussions on new arrangements,” he added. He suggested that the UK could rejoin the European Economic Area, which includes rule-taking countries such as Norway and Iceland, which are not EU member states.
Since I am keenly aware of the neoliberal EU, I know they think in terms similar to the psychopathic IMF. It would be very strange for an EU which 'solved' the Greek situation by enacting punitive austerity, to then want to come to the assistance of a now non-member country with free 'aid'. This is not how the EU operates. It also sends a signal that the UK cannot operate without EU structures around it, which is patently false. This is the real warning that should have been given to Brexiteers: to abandon previous incoherent economic strategies years before now. Luckily Britain doesn't have to beg for currency to be 'bailed out', so importation of some emergency supply is not an issue, but if these Tories and their opposition persist with not mobilising domestic economic power, it will be game over at some point.
