How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

You clearly gave up reading the article after a paragraph, as it likely you understood nothing and don't wish too. We are in a global economy, not a European one.

The European one is the nearest and has been the biggest trading partner for us - it and therefore we were always part of the global economy unless you can prove that the EU economy is outside that of the rest of the world

Too many intelligence police on this thread but my overriding take is we have become a laughing stock, an abject fool, a sad hermit sitting on the outside licking the window of opportunity and friendship.

Hermits don't want friendship, they want solitude. We are mendicant friars who've given up the good life and renounced our existing relationships but then go round begging others for support.

I find the fact that this nation voted to leave, probably the single most embarrassing act of self-sabotage in my lifetime.

Went to Belgium (Bruges and Ghent) recently and felt somewhat embarrassed about Brexit, which given my ridiculously high threshold for embarrassment is noteworthy!

Similar here. Was living in Europe during the Brexit period and every one of them were very disappointed at what they were seeing, even upset, and, after it had concluded, their overriding opinion was that we had stabbed them in the back. Those 5 stages of grief, they were all there.

We’ve stabbed ourselves in the back more than anything. It’s certainly an egregious act of national bad manners, as well as being unneighbourly.

You’re so polite, there are many other words that can be used. So many friends in Europe and they do not hold the same values when talking of the way they now see the British public.

Even when you're trying to make a serious point, it's balderdash.

You posted about one below-par month in a trend of rising car production. Before Brexit, Britain's car industry was at an all-time high and looking to expand. Here, production has plummetted to less than half what it was, while global production has gone up at least 5%.

You really didn't read it.
 
I like to think that once you exclude the votes of stupid people and racists, our European friends will realise it was actually only a tiny minority that voted in favour of brexit. And technically Scotland and many parts of England should still be in the EU.
