This photo beautifully represents the new position of Britain on the world stage, the current state of our country and its politics breaks my heart. For all open-minded, optimistic, forward-looking patriots (as opposed to selfish, delusional, frightened, solipsistic gammon's) this picture feels like looking into the future, and it doesn't look pretty! Sure, no one knows exactly what will happen but most intelligent people should be able to estimate outcomes based on prior-experience and (actual) data. However, unfortunately, like the most literalist of religious believers all the Brexiters I've ever listened to seem to rest their views on delusion, wish-thinking and negative emotion or they're adherents to the Sex Pistols school of economics, i.e. "cash from chaos"!
