Yeah but… what is it?
• To defend itself against UKIP the UK’s incumbent political party promised a referendum to decide if the UK remain in the EU. 52% voted to leave.
• It takes the Br from Britain and the Exit from exit… the same as the Greeks had Grexit. Maybe we’ll have Frexit? Spexit? Itexit? Etc
• European Union is an economic and political partnership involving 28 European Countries. Idea is that countries who trade together are less likely to fight each other. 19 of these countries share a currency (the Euro).
• The UK is made up of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Union of the Crowns was formed in 1603 by King James VI. Scotland and Northern Ireland both voted remain (by 62% and 55.8% respectively) and the Brexit process has put pressure on the Union staying together.
• It takes two years to leave the EU. Exit date is March 2019. (although no one has ever left before and its going to be tricky unravelling 43 years of laws).

Asked by ITV's Good Morning Britain whether he could guarantee that the £350m that was sent to the EU would now go the NHS, Mr Farage said: “No I can’t, I would never have made that claim."That was one of the mistakes made by the Leave campaign.”

Soft Brexit Hard Brexit• UK give up full access to the single
market and full access of the customs union
• prioritise giving Britain full control over its borders
• UK would likely fall back on World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules for trade with its former EU partners
• Leave the UK's relationship with the EU as close as possible to the existing arrangements.
• UK would no longer be a member of the EU and would not have a seat on the European Council.
• Goods and services would be traded with the remaining EU states on a tariff-free basis and financial firms would keep their "passporting" rights.
• Britain would remain within the EU's customs union, meaning that exports would not be subject to border checks.
• Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, which are not members of the EU but have access to the single market by being part of the European Economic Area.

• Without strong leadership we will talk ourselves into a recession.
• British manufacturing very well respected B2B worldwide
• Talent pool in the UK is excellent
• Financial services are transient
• “Goldilocks economy”
• Productivity is a problem (especially outside of London)
• Economic outlook of the UK (and EU zone) depends on a ‘soft Brexit’
• “We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” - Dumbledore
My view (for what its worth)
