No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

Spot on
It is too soon now but at some point, it will become plain to even the most strident brexiteer that the UK cannot flourish without being part of the EU.
We will have to go back, cap in hand, and ask to rejoin the customs union and single market and as a result, accept the four freedoms.
It was always the sensible option and it will remain so moving forward.
The best part is, it will smash the stupid idea that the UK still has the power of an empire and can ride roughshod over other countries by force of sheer arrogance. As a country, we will gain a much-needed sense of perspective.
But we must suffer the pain to understand why it is bad to seek it out. And that is yet to come.
