Of course it will be all the EU's fault when UK/EU trade breaks down altogether because "they hate us for our freedom" and they "want to punish Britain" and because they can't compete with Great Britain in a free trade world. The EU will be portrayed as an extension of the Soviet Union (or a fourth Reich) opposed to "western" ideas of free-wheeling capitalism.
With a radically devalued Pound and eviscerated workers rights, consumer protections, and environmental standards the UK may even "succeed" for a while, until they realise there is no competing with Singapore and the far east, no matter how far down your wages go and how many Billionaires, Oligarchs and tin-pot dictators you can attract to your shores. Rampant internal inequality and social unrest, not to mention the break-up of the Union is what will bring the whole thing crashing down. Index of Frank's Diaries
