Opportunities can be found no matter what the situation. I'll accept 50 years of economic pain for the UK as a whole, if it secures the future of our nation centuries from now. I will still find my own ways to make the best of it. Besides, if you've been a teacher in China, you'll have most likely travelled to a fair few poorer nations than a post-Brexit Britain and will have noticed that not everybody is permanently miserable.

Splendid post, not just the above.
