State must prioritise citizen welfare over that of banks

As we know, our nearest neighbour and one of our largest trading partners decided at a referendum last June to exit the EU.

It will the first country since the inception of the original EEC to exit. In doing so, it has generated a myriad of issues that must be resolved before it finally makes its way out.

Officially, it must be fully out by March 2019. However, procrastination and jockeying for position have ensured that the full negotiations for Brexit, as it has been termed, will really not commence until October.
