One positive thing to out of Brexit is the prospect of Britain turning into Hong Kong 2.0.<p>The EU is highly protectionist, very similar to china.<p>Why should an EU farmer get an higher wage than an African farmer ?<p>the EU is most likely to start treating the UK just like it treats african countries. It will increase tariffs for financial services to prop up its own domestic one.<p>This is not a bad thing for the UK, the UK could learn to start trading with a much more potentially lucrative group of african countries. Africa has a lot more primary resources then Europe and the UK could potentially help open up the block just it it did for the EU.

Article summary: EU doesn&#x27;t systematically invest in Africa to benefit the average African.<p>This is true. This has always been true (especially compared to China). Brexit doesn&#x27;t change this.

Somehow I don&#x27;t think that the likes of good old Farage would be thrilled by this.
