Brexit- falling off the edge
As the date for the activation of article 50 approaches, the
uncertainty of its effect is being discussed by every UK business and enterprise. Recently there was a piece on the BBC about its impact on the farming
industry. At the moment farmers enjoy tariff free trade with the Common market and
receive large subsidies to maintain their production and protect the countryside. But they fear the future
if that was all to change. The same applies to the auto industry, the
manufacturing industry etc. All face an unknown future as we sail into uncharted
waters. I am reminded of those early sailors who believed the world was flat
and if they went too far they would fall off the edge. Will history show
that Brexit was a step too far?
