It is now painfully apparent that Brexit was a mistake and majority opinions all over the country confirming that fact. However, it's a mistake that cannot be admitted by anyone, let alone fixed! The Brit govt's agenda remains a characteristically Tory one - authoritarian, British nationalist, anti-constitutional, anti-European, pro-rich, anti-worker, anti-public servs. Fundamental human rights, democracy itself and ethics in public life continue to be under strain. Johnsonism is still there in a govt that is essentially out of control. In abandoning Europe, it has destroyed the economic foundations of the whole economy. In effect, forego the global pressures, the UK has, in effect, placed itself under an economic blockade and destroyed its own export industry. Even if there was a shift in political opinion re this gross mistake, IMO the UK has lost the trust and confidence of its Euro allies and genuine repentance is required plus re-constituting the state itself. The Brexit genie sadly cannot be put back in the bottle - a sad indictment of the lie, the con, the whole conspiracy of Brexit.
