So it begins, the long complicated road of disentangling ourselves from the EU, sorting out trade deals, as well as recruiting and paying for another 10,000 civil servants to manage it all 
Still not convinced we have done the right thing. The fears from the remain camp of an instant economic catastrophe were certainly unfounded, along with the leavers mythical huge savings and more cash for the NHS. Basically it was all cobblers on all sides.
I suspect we have trail blazed the way for EU reform which has now been forced into action as they lose a fifth of their revenue and other countries see there is life outside the EU. Downside is now we are on the outside, we will miss out on the advantages of any reforms.
Will the Union hold up in the years to come with the SNP beating the drum hard? Will we be able to negotiate the trade deals to ensure big business confidence remains high, preserving things like car manufacturing in the UK?
Looking back in 5 or 10 years and doing the sums, I wonder what the genuine and accountable financial benefits will be versus the propaganda.
Almost like 1940 again with the UK standing alone, albeit with parts of it determined to leave, a hostile Europe and the USA concentrating on looking inwards. Or is that too dramatic for a wet and miserable Wednesday?
