We have angered our main market and even made it in their interest too apply punitive measures. "You don't want to leave" they will say to other nations "look at what happened to England" we are totally screwed with no hope of ever emerging. The "ridiculous legislations" were mainly in the minds of the writers of the Daily Mail anyway. What legislation there was protected us from the worst excesses of the tories. We are without this protection now so the tories can inflict on us whatever evil they want. We are exposed, weaker and dragging the world down with us.
Our main market?

What legislation there was protected us from the worst excesses of the tories??? One mans excesses is another mans fixing the shit that went down on Labours watch! Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with a lot of the things that have been implemented but we'd be in a much worse position under blundering brown and the red scurge!
