So this past week Friday my home country (United Kingdom) officially left the EU and entered a 12 month period of negotiated separation arrangements or the equivalent thereof… The relationship had lasted from the 1st January 1973 until last week so a total of 47 years. Not a bad run you might say, but clearly over 50% of the UK voting public felt the relationship had run its course and for better or worse the time had arrived to end the arrangement.
