As I said that's the one UK would do well to focus on. Too much noise and other politics to get anywhere on the EU side of things.
What really went wrong here was the Pasteur Institute attempt failed. Which was bad luck, they are up their with the best of them. The real surprise has been the Sputnik, who'd have thunk the Russians knew about germs.

The just the Jan stats aren't a proper indication of anything (beyond a lack of preperedness. A like for like in say July will give a better indication of the size of the hit (and there has been one)Not sure how much of this is down to stockpiling & whether it will sort it self out but figures for January not looking too good for British exporters.

clearly not. Production is down (understandably) but 2 wings are worth more than the 2020 fish figures and they are still building more than that a month
Even BBC Worldwide probably exports more digitally than those stats

The actual real surprise is that people are actually taking it. I rather take my chances with the virus than be injected with Putin juice.

I’m thinking of running of some T shirts off with the January trade figures on, stick an EU flag on and maybe a quote on from Blair/Campbell/Geldof/the CBI/the IMF/Cameron. I reckon I could afford to underwrite a series of unprofitable band tours with the proceeds...

A simple google on ‘British ‘ brands , untilities and a number of landmark assets gives a frightening indication of foreign ownership in the U.K. decades before Brexit or this government.

Neoliberalism, innit?
And Brexit was a contest between 2 competing visions of how best the process can be accelerated.

Do you feel like the Conservative party have been cunningly manipulated by the masses into doing brexit, which is actually some kind of anti capitalist act, and then overwhelmingly voted in again to lull them into a false sense of being in control ?

Yep, capital and the capitalist parties have been arguing the toss since the inception of the The Schuman Declaration. This never has been anything other than a top-down contest.

Nope. However I do think that a) a sizeable sections of the Tories were genuinely surprised at the referendum result and b) I don’t think that Brexit is an anti capitalist act .Do you feel like the Conservative party have been cunningly manipulated by the masses into doing brexit, which is actually some kind of anti capitalist act, and then overwhelmingly voted in again to lull them into a false sense of being in control ?

Besides, it's not like the EU ever did anything to prevent the private ownership of critical national infrastructure. Like for example those Euro train companies creaming a fat profit off ridiculous train ticket prices in this country.
