Rivet Joint. I won't waste my time arguing BREXIT, but perhaps you could explain why we have any right to reclaim our position as the Hub of the world. Britain (not London) became the hub of the world on the basis of Naval Power, the slave trade and the creation of the industrial revolution. All a long way in the past. We have been living well beyond our means for at least a century and are now a heavily-indebted island, and hence dependent on the grace and favour of others.
