Noone buys Korean phones or cars or whatever because they are not in the EU... of course not.

The issue, and lack of plan to cope with, is that the change requires a (long?) period of deep reconfiguration.

But still, places like London, Cambridge, etc are doing incredibly well and better than on the continent...

Brexit hasn't been a fairytale but it hasn't been a catastrophe, either.

Except for Germany, which of the major countries are you referring to? Show me numbers.

It has been 10 years. How long do you think this should take? 20 years? And how long before the lost decade (or perhaps decades) have been made up for and the UK goes net positive? 30 years? 50? (The area below the curve is important. You learned about integrals in school, right?).

Trust me: nobody I talk to is interested in doing business with UK companies or in the UK if they can avoid it. Which makes me curious: who are these companies that have seen a boost in foreign trade?
