The UK is simply the 5 th largest economy, ( or was ?)
The UK government is still living in the past glory of the empire Rule Brittania , rule the waves- still is ?

What’s left is the English language. They can thank their language and the influential English speaking , Bilderberg controlled , mainstream media for keeping one of the so called leading country. Will see what’s left of it after the pandemic!

No man , or nation , is an island!

One of the biggest problem the US-UK economic collaboration issue is that the big US commercial entities relied on the UK to export their goods to the EU , benefiting from import taxes. Now ?
 

Now, the EU will depend upon the UK to export their goods to the US. (if they want to avoid big tariffs, that is)
 

Observer:

The UK Government has been captured by leaders with deep interests in the UK's global financial sector. They are not so concerned about the UK's industrial and commercial interests as they are about its financial interests. By leaving the EU the UK can keep its financial sectors activities opaque and sub-rosa with off-shore banking and invisible foreign trusts. That benefits British elites who still disproportionately pull the strings of the unofficial governance of the British Isles. Industrial and commercial sectors will just have to adjust to these financial priorities and if they can't, then they will perish. If they perish then they will expand the labour surplus in UK labour markets, thus lowering wages, salaries, benefits and protections for UK workers. Eventually this race to the bottom in labour markets will make the UK more attractive for both domestic and foreign investors, even if it paupers the workers. When that tipping point arrives, then the UK financial sector will make a killing. Until then UK financial elites will no doubt blame the hard times on the Covid-19 pandemic or some other future crisis.

This will work precisely because the UK is an archipelago of islands and thus can be easily isolated from the rest of Europe. From their island fortress British bankers, insurers, hedge-fund managers, high tech and bio tech designers and manufacturers, weapons manufacturers, surveillance companies and mercenary/security companies can operate uninhibited by European regulation, restriction and competition from German financiers and thus can make large profits while the general public of the UK experiences compounding hardship and waning economic relevance.

Then the exodus of "unwanted" people will pick up and Nationalist British will celebrate the departure of more skilled and economically mobile young people of non-Anglosaxon or British origins. Financiers and xenophobes will be happy and the rest will just suffer until the new investment kicks in.

Cheers and be well.

And you think the EU will do that ?
