Well Bruce is - not sure about Maiden! I guess it is each to their own. Bruce is looking at it from a different angle to many when the referendum took place as I think a lot of pro-Brexit votes were trying to reduce immigration to the UK - not all of them but a lot I think.


I think if there was another vote now in the UK it would be a different outcome.

Personally, I would like to see the EU stay as it is and for us to keep things more open with folk moving into (and out of) the UK. Either way on the trading side of things the market will sort itself out over time. Supply and demand for products will settle down and trading will be pretty mcuh as it was.

In many ways it is diffcult to say how it will all turn out until it happens but I do believe the market will right itself over time - as for the rest of the implications that are possible, who knows! I live in Scotland so a big part of me thinks that it is better for Scotland to stay in the EU - I voted for independence for Scotland because I would like to see Scotland have more political power and the right to self determine its future in all ways as opposed to being partially goverened by Westminster and the Scottish Parliament. Again, more of a belief that we can do it and so it better ourselves but that too had a risk attached to it as Scotland can and does gain in certain ways from being part of the UK.

In many ways we have no real say in how it will all pan out for everyone - but the vote took place and the marginal result was to leave the EU - we just have to see what happens from here and hope that any negatives are not to big a hurdle to bigger issues like us all stil being part of Europe and having to look after one another and importantly to make sure that we work together to maintain good relations and peace.
