But Britain went into full retard mode, treated the future of our economy like a juvenile nationalist football match, threw ourselves out the market and added more red tape, cost on ourselves. Because of... reasons. And when UK businesses complain to government. The government says shut up shop in UK and move to Europe.

    Places like Poland will find other markets and we will be short of everything, including toilet paper. Hope the brexiteers enjoy this.
