This week long thread has had 226 posts and 3827 views.

The Forum is not a political discussion board, but rightly the UK's decision to Exit the EU was raised and has been debated - with a few posts on the possible impact strategically.

As readers can tell opinions are divided on the UK's decision and can at times become heated.

So on reflection this thread will remain closed for now. Should the situation change in the strategic sense it will be re-opened.
