RT by @john4brexit: “Literally” is redundant in that sentence. Your meaning is clear without it. Your grasp of history, not so much. Churchill wanted a more United Europe but he did not see Britain as part of it. He envisaged three centres of power as forces for good post-war: the US, Western Europe and Britain/Commonwealth.

RT by @john4brexit: EU scales back ambitions for post-Brexit clearing land grab
'rules agreed last week, following years of wrangling, are widely seen as Brussels backing down from earlier ambitions for a more substantial land grab, after being undermined by Franco-German tensions and a backlash from the finance industry. ...
London — Europe’s pre-eminent financial centre — has long dominated the [Clearing] business, with its large clearing house, London Stock Exchange Group’s LCH, able to enjoy economies of scale, which helps attract customers.
Even in euro-denominated derivatives, a market totalling €172tn last, year according to Clarus Financial Technology, LCH handles more than 90 per cent of trades. LCH estimates that about 30 per cent of its business in this market comes from the EU.'

It is also curious that the apologists for Remain do not bang on about the relative under performance of major eu economies eg Germany or point to the enormous dodgy debt built up by the ECB

The Scots were much keener on Union than the English, and many of the greatest Scottish names were vocal unionists. I suppose that’s hard for today’s nationalists to swallow.

Especially highly elastic items such as jewellery and sporting goods.
Nothing to do with Brexit.
If anything, this shows that the UK needs to diversify its trade away from the EU.
