Brexit: A New Era for the UK?

[Stavros]

Nevertheless, and in the interests of balance, here is a review of Robert Tombs positive view of Brexit. Tombs is a Cambridge Don who in his retirements tends to write for the Telegraph and Conservative Home.

And as Fintan O'Toole is mentioned in the link above, here is his own review of Tombs-

Another one bites the dust.

The Brexit dream of the UK out of the EU becoming a Global partner measured in trade deals has been knocked off course again, this time with Canada.

What puzzles me is that the UK and Canada have disagreed on the 'hormones in Beef' issue for years, so I don't see what it was that the two countries could agree on without changing their position. In addition, Canadian cheddar has been available in the UK for decades but if you want a strong cheddar, there are plenty in the UK to choose from.

I can understand the import of cheese from France, Spain and Italy that is not made in the UK, but what does Canada make that is so special?

The Conservatives negotiating these trade deals don't seem to me to have any bright ideas.

So there ain't a trade deal at all.

Hmmm...maybe we should not have left the EU?
