And the potential effect of the revival of the Tories under Boris - will only be temporary unless he behaves himself !
The Genie is out of the bottle !

Aye, the freeports are a good idea - there are around 80 at present in the EU.
UK had 5 in 2012 but apparently let them lapse, so likely those 5 will be re-started:
Liverpool, Prestwick (airport), Southampton, Tilbury and Sheerness (not Scotland BTW)
They are handy for importers/exporters as a resting place - but inevitably the goods have to come out.
And just a wee diversion because many people think that Sheerness is in Scotland - itâs a beautiful town in Kent: pic courtesy of wikipedia.

Great one @peterma - Cash is one of my favourites 
odd how thoughts go isnât it ?
I see in the comments someone said it was âan IRA Anthemâ - Then I got to thinking about nearly 50 years ago - we had a few lads who learned some songs and a couple with guitars - and went off a few times a year on various trips - Used to sing in pubs when we had a couple (Remember Pubs ?)
The merry ploughboy is is one of those we used to inflict on the âlocalsâ (Along with âthe motherâs lamentâ - but thatâs a different kettle of eggs)
Anyhow talking of âploughboysâ - here it is

Never thought away back then, that Iâd be feeling just like that myself one day - far away in the future ! 
Cigarmanstan, You donât need to be a âBritâ to ask the question and you donât need to be a Brit to answer it.
Itâs âstupidâ to exclude opinions from non-Brits, as Iâm sure âFalstaffâ will agree, seeing as he has an âopinion â on everything

I used to drive my older brotherâs Zephyr 6 - it had an 8 track - that song was on it.
My then girlfriend, now wife, would have to switch it off when weâd come to a checkpoint.
The motherâs lament is way more pertinent - songs glorifying war⌠my mother kept me right, sheâd witnessed the horrors.
Anyways, a long story, and i give thanks for all our mothers.
This is a song I never understood when i was young, now i do:
Iâve published that one on here a few times - but I do prefer this version myself. You need to pull it back to zero thoâ )
Are we talking the same âmotherâs lamentâ - I wonder ?
The old Dun Cow - Another one we had in our repertoire ;

I think we used to do it rather better though!
Yep, same, there is message therin.
Now here is our two countries are entwined - i watched this live 5 years ago, before brexit:
Good to see it to the end:
LOVE Johnny Cash!
Just to clarify, and, I guess, speaking personally, as an American and being fairly well informed on this county, I really not much interested in what âforeignersâ think(no offence!). Of course, as this IS American, you have every right to voice your opinion. And I have every right to ignore it.
I just figured that all peoples thought that way about their country? Perhaps Iâm wrongâŚ
And thats where your assumption is false.
The EU is almost like one country. Immagine ohio seperates from the rest of the USA, then a new yorker has a horse in this run just as well. A smaller horse than somebody from ohio, yes. But does that mean he is less informed about the matter?
Spaniards, frenches and others have a horse in this run, the fact that one country seperates doesnt mean that they are less informed about anything.
The only thing you demonstrated is how little you are informed about anything and your ignorance in not knowing, not accepting and not informing yourself before you make a judgement or an excluding decition. Or am i wrong?
Oh, no, you are right. Iâm ignorant. And racist, of course!
As clearly stated, as an American, I defer to the Brits who are more clearly informed
on Brexit.
When the South attempts to succeed from the rest of the country, I will develop my opinion on that, then.
Oh, and thanks for calling me names. I feel like Iâve joined a special group!
