You are right. You cannot reverse globalization. The idea that the UK can "leave" Europe is sort of ridiculous. The trade deals they will have to make now will probably not be as good as the one they currently have. The UK may be a big customer but a customer needs a good place to go shopping. And as we have all seen things tend to change. Someday Europe's economy might be stronger.
There is anger from those who are losers in globalization. However trying to go back in time to a period that was "golden" (and that is false too) will not work. I guess the reason we have Trump is no one has figured out how to solve the negative aspects of globalization.
I doubt Scotland and Northern Ireland will leave though.
