What I find dispiriting is people taking the side of an EU who now wishes our country economic harm.

There are no excuses for holding that position.
They DON'T wish our country economic harm, they want the best economic deal for them (this is a completely logical position to hold, and is the same position that the UK holds - how are people surprised at this?!).

The fact that Brexit will cause the UK economic harm is not the EU's fault, it is ours alone.

Meantime I believe the BBC is shockingly biased and seemingly inent on dragging us all down with the ship. And if we go down, apart from the dubious satisfaction of saying "we told you so" where is the mileage in that posture?
The BBC's job is to tell us the facts, not to tell us what we want to hear. There is no upside to Brexit, which is why they are not reporting one.

Harrier, VC10, Lightning - there, some military aviation to keep everyone happy (ish).
