Sadly, you remind me of Esau, who sold his Birthright to Jacob, for a pot of hot stew. Genesis 25:29-34

International trade has brought prosperity to the world.
But you are quite happy to see the UK's great companies sold off to the highest foreign bidders due to the weak post-Brexit vote £ (Odeon to the Chinese, ARM, our biggest tech company to the Japanese). This is not taking back control, it's losing it.

Unlike you predicting more terror attacks which is not doom and gloom.

Easy to work for less when your living 10+ to a house and skip out before having to pay utility bills and other mundane costs that normal people have to pay so quit talking trash about UK workers and condemning them all because of a few scroungers.
My brother (half brother if we're being exact) is in international business he runs a group of companys and both he and many of the businessmen he invites to his estate are very positive about brexit saying that more doors will open then close. They are already planning to take advantage of brexit as are many other business people there is a lot of positivity in certain quarters about brexit and it is perplexing that the FT can find none of it or report it. Despite the fact that journalists from the FT have had interviews with pro brexit business they just never make it into print but a negative brexit article hits print at bullet speed. The FT used to be a business persons point of information but it's reputation is suffering because of a couple of things brexit being one where it is definately running an agenda.

In what ways can they take advantage of Brexit?
Which business people has the FT interviewed but not published? Don't you think those business people would kick up a stink if the FT wasted their time and did not publish the interviews? Interviews with the very few pro-Brexit business people (JCB, Dyson, Tim Martin of Wetherspoons) have been published to death.
One issue with employment is a lot of jobs with ready vacancies are in London. Younger workers from around the world are prepared to travel there and take them whereas older unemployed people in the rest of the UK with families, kids at local schools and a good community are not. I can understand this and it's partly a structural failing of the London-centric economy with finance, Government and business HQ all in the same city.
