The economist who wrote that is an idiot - not once does s/he mention the environment. Any economist who doesn't take the environment into consideration is a moron.

All our economic resources (besides our imagination) come from the environment around us and we are using those resources to pollute the environment - the pesticides in our rivers and the microplastics in our oceans and the greenhouse gases building up in our atmosphere. Intensive farming is not only polluting rivers and destroying insect and bird populations, but it is causing soil erosion.

A Green Brexit would be a lead signifier for the rest of the world - green energy, green transport, localism, organic farming and re-wilding.

Any other future UK that still works on the outmoded Neo-Liberal Capitalist Corporate Globalism would be toxic to both our environment and its people.

The best start would be a new politics - and we might see this with the fracturing of C20th political parties and the call for People's Assemblies.

They say the channel tunnel will close; they say the planes will stop flying, they say our car factories will shut down; they say lorries will be at a standstill; they say there will be no economic growth - well even if those things do happen, i.e. the EU decides it will trade with China, Japan, Australia, USA etc, but not with the UK, at least our air quality will improve and CO2 footprint will diminish.

Project Fear says there will be 'no food' - well some of us could do with a severe diet. Joking aside I see that Qatar has done more than okay, after the Saudi led blockade of the country. Nobody starved, nobody died because of a lack of medicine. Qatar quickly found new trading partners and a new measure of self-sufficiency - a herd of milking cows in the desert.

If you want to be scared think about our energy supplies - Saudi oil and Russian gas.

But blind mice feel free to run.
