How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

There was a professor from Manchester University on Five Live this morning who mentioned a book a friend of his wrote about how the world is forming these blocks: India, China, European Union and the USA as opposed to the Globalism model.
....and there's ikkle old England cast adrift (he suspects we'll be back in sooner rather than later).

May order a copy of this actually:

Guy Hands: ‘I thought Brexit was frankly nuts’

The financier and former Tory donor says leaving the EU was a plan by the rich to make themselves richer and the poor poorer

I was just going to post this. Well worth a read, especially for those who don’t understand what Brexit was about.

And for those that don’t know Guy Hands is a finance guy and former donor to the Tory party.

No - I’m not having that!
He‘s obviously a tree-hugging, wokey, snowflake tofu muncher who hates Britain.
 
The UK government has poured cold water on a planned "bonfire" of EU regulation promised under Conservative prime ministers last year.

The Retained EU Law (REUL) Bill was introduced under Liz Truss and Jacob Rees-Mogg with the intention of removing all EU legislation from the UK by the end of 2023.


Kemi Badenoch, the business and trade secretary, has now revealed that fewer than 600 laws will be disapplied using the bill by the end of the year - with thousands more remaining on the statute books.

It is thought at least 4,000 EU laws apply to the UK, but the exact figure is hard to pin down - more than a thousand were discovered in the National Archives last year which the government had not previously considered.

That’s a separate issue. People thought it was going to be so simple: leave the EU, cut the red tape. The opposite has proven to be true. These laws exist for a reason, including to protect people. The notion that we could just rip them up and the country would benefit was utterly comical. Was never, ever going to happen.

But people actually thought it would, despite logic screaming the opposite.

The vast majority of the public are sheep.

Who knew?

yeah, I read that but my point still stands, it doesn't benefit anyone - if trade is down, unemployment, debt and inflation up it can only be self-defeating. Bankrupting the economy will only benefit the global money-magpies who will then just fly on to the next crash or downturn elsewhere. I think many Tories were (wrongly or rightly) behind this, but not necessarily for the reasons stated in that article.
