It's not a pretty thought.
The overall picture, then, is dismal: a flight by the investment banking sector, probable currency speculation directed against the (isolated and vulnerable) sterling market, re-emergence of tariff barriers hampering UK exports to Europe, a collapse in trade with the Commonwealth (at least, on terms favourable to the UK), and the final collapse of UK diplomatic/military power to second- or even third-rank status on a global scale.
But, on the upside I suppose, at last their cucumbers could be a crooked as they wanted them to be.
I can almost taste the liberty already.

Jolly good to see you back in the blogosphere, JCW.
Many thanks, HH! It's been more a matter of (lack of) time than of disinterest.
And I've been focusing my limited blogging time on the book-related one I've had running for a while now.
But I'm hoping to return to some reasonably regularly-scheduled programming soonish.
It's nice to be missed, though.
