Britain leaving the EU means trouble ahead for Germany — and its hardest task will be convincing the Brits to drop a self-defeating ideology, a leading foreign policy expert told The Local.
German business has a lot of vested interest in British markets, explains Josef Janning, head of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) in Berlin.

“What is Germany going to do? Are they going to invade them?”
Eh. Shouldn’t that be the other way around?
Ja! Wir gegen auf England gebomben! Yes, we’re off to bomb England.
