Re: How to solve Brexit.
I hope that the poster had their tongue in cheek whilst posting about 750 highly skilled electronics and engineering workers retraining for the agriculture sector. It is however, very relevant to the situation England is facing with Brexit.
To quote from an article titled "The false promise of a free-trade paradise for Brexit Britain" by Nick Clegg.
"Brexit ministers have argued that, far from creating risk, leaving the EU will unlock growth by freeing us to sign trade agreements with whomsoever we please."
Bear in mind that at the time the article was written 15% of total UK trade was with countries that are neither members of the EU, nor covered by an EU trade agreement.
Whilst it is very sad to hear about the job losses they illustrate quite clearly the risks that we are facing trying to expand the percentage of trade outside Europe.
