A long term plan towards an industrial Britain is exactly what we need . My town here was the busiest exporter of coal in the world 100 years ago shifting 11 million tonnes a year . Ok the coal is gone but the port is still there and currently for sale so someone can build rabbit hutches on it and call them houses .
Hi Shayne,
I respect your point of view, and I really don't claim to be an expert on this, but if I look at the countries of the world by export (which I guess is what you mean):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_exports
... half of the top 10 are from the EU (including the UK in that, as we are still in the EU for the moment).
Above us are Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands.
How does leaving the EU make us more industrial, when the EU countries are doing so well? And are you sure that the problems you perceive are the EU's fault and not those created by London-centric politicians?
Cheers,
Ed
