Our Government at Westminster seem to be short of a lot of common sense in relation to Brexit. We have more ammunition in our armoury than Brussels, so lets use it to have a common trading policy, and a common defence policy, something we had before 1975 when we entered the common market. Two things stuck in my wife's and I mind after joining in1975 was the price of our food shot up and our fishing industry went downhill fast all due to the common market policies. Successive governments took us further and further into the grip of Brussels believing this was the way forward, many countries united under one umbrella, One size fits all. At the same time our government at Westminster was going in the 'opposite direction' dividing great Britain up with devolved governments, with a massive increase in staff and cost. Common sense is needed now, lets see some, and politicians should forget the gravy train.
