I raise the issue that there is more wrong with our country than membership of the EU. 100% want to leave the EU but 100% want to see the eslf confidence that we are more than just a country of shopkeepers. No offence to shopkeepers.

Problem being that we are a long way from being a fully functioning manufacturing country and there are many reasons for this decline. Mostly a succession of dreadful governments and industrial action in the 70s. If a genuine revival could happen the next problem is our failure to protect our assets from takeover. Everything has a price and is for sale. Show me a government that will reverse our decline with a proper industrial strategy.<br />Like our fishing industry, or lack of, those skills take generations to put in place and it will take a war effort to bring about change.<br />No I am not defeatist, just realist today.
