    What is it about Brexit that would mean the rest of the world couldn’t buy a record by a British artist? Brexit will have no impact on this at all.

      Rubbish! How could the Beatles, the Stones and their contemporaries have succeeded without the EU?

      Oh, hang on ……

      You forgot about the Elephant in the room, the Irish border, 310 miles long, 208 crossing points more than the entire EU. An insolvable conundrum, with luck the UK government will implode and Brexit will be mothballed.

    They don’t even know what Brexit is yet. They’d prefer to panic and maybe blame Trump too. Here’s an idea: just cancel the whole thing. Trump would.
