'Neither the EU nor Brexit is the answer'

As Messrs Legge and True have demonstrated, Brexit is still very much a hot potato.

While many passionately believe in their stance there are those on either side who stand to gain personally from their stand.

If Leave had only got 49.5 per cent they would not have gone away but it is difficult see they would have disputed the result as a few Remainers do.

Four years of bickering have left the country not knowing which way to turn. Let us face it neither EU nor Brexit is going to be the answer.

Whatever happens we will have to handle the folly, selfishness and greed of people. As Peter says, the EU does seem to be a protectionist league supporting ever closer union, but stopping that is not the answer. As Qoheleth wrote millennia back, it is all vanity of vanities (in Ecclesiastes). I think the archaic English emphasises the starkness of the statement. The writer goes on to give his conclusion,that only two things matter – serving God and one’s fellow humanity.
