Personally I can't see that ending well, but hey, I'm sure UKIP and the Welsh people who voted to leave have already considered that eventuality and have a plan. Well don't they?
I'm about ten years away from retirement and live in leafy north Cardiff, so personally won't be unduly affected, but I'm sure that the poor and unemployed who live in the poorest parts of Wales will heed your advice and get off their nears and go marching to one of the numerous pits/steelworks/factories who will be falling all over themselves to give them work.
