> As a UK citizen, it's interesting to think back to Barack Obama's attempt to convince the country not to vote for Brexit (saying the UK would "go to the back of the line" for future trade deal negotiations).

No wonder that anyone not aligned with said state actors would voice concerns about the whole sad state of affairs.
