If we are 'too tied into Europe', then that means by implication we are no longer an independent nation.

There is still time to recoup some of what we have lost and what OUR forefathers fought for and millions lost their lives for.

To some it's all about economics...the be all and end all. Too many people lacking confidence in this nation, being negative.

We still have the technical abilities and skills as a trading nation to plough our own furrow.

So what if we have to manage with only one car and less takeaways for a while.

Perhaps take note of what previously devastated countries like Japan have managed to achieve, with a bit of help from friends, national pride... and damned hard work.
