Remainers like to think of the UK as a non-entity, but it is Europe that is the over-regulated backwater

In recent years, Brexit’s most implacable opponents have revelled in rubbishing Britain’s hopes of succeeding on the world stage. Britain is a diminished country, they insist, incapable of functioning on its own. Consider Emma Thompson’s description of the UK as "a cake-filled misery-laden grey old island", or Michael Heseltine’s glorious Freudian slip when challenged about our economy outperforming EU rivals: the UK "is doing significantly better than you might hope".
