It's strange, though perhaps not, that so few of you put any value on the UK's 'status' in the world, how the country is viewed by foreigners, the level of respect the has, the influence. All of those things don't just have political value, but a commercial one as well, as the business community understands and is appalled at how much is being sacrificed, wasted and thrown away. A positive view of th UK, the 'brand' has enormous commercial value and importance. Of course one can arrogantly chose to ignore the damage that's being done, as if it doesn't matter, and embrace the myths of the left and the Brexit nationalists, but a severe price, hitting ordinary people most, is going to be paid. Which is what the German politician was talking about. How badly the British ruling elite have handled the Brexit fiasco. But, of cours if one refuses to see Brexit as a costly mistake and fiasco, but has convinced onself it's the opposite, a portal to a bright new future, then rationality has been thrown out the window in favour of world of fantasy.
