William Keegan in The Observer has always been one of favorite commentators with his clear vision. He cites Lord Adonis who pointed out in the Lords debate on the Queen’s speech last week, more than 60% of UK trade is with the EU or with other countries with which we enjoy free or preferential access as members of the customs union and single market. Leave? What folly! On the referendum William noted: So did the 37% of the electorate who voted for Brexit know what they were doing? We should be told! As the historian Sir David Cannadine recently reminded an audience at the British Academy, the problem with democracy, according to Plato, is that it elevates opinion above knowledge. Great stuff but depressing nonetheless.
