Being in a customs union facilitates trade and economic cooperation, but leaving the EU customs union allows the UK to conduct its own trade policy. Under the plan, the UK would remain in a customs union with the EU, while Northern Ireland and, to a lesser extent, the rest of the UK would follow additional EU rules. The Biden administration could stop this but has instead proposed a new rule that would once again allow extensive seismic testing in the Gulf of Mexico without the needed safeguards. If the British government had insisted upon those points in 2019, the EU would never have agreed to a deal in the first place.

The current British government is ‘the Dirty Dozen and more’, a cabinet, which will go down in history as made up of corrupt people who enriched themselves while they polluted our rivers and seas with sewerage, gave the green light (oh the irony of that term) for explorations and exploitation of fossil fuels, which pollute the environment, and attempted to ‘sweep the impending debris under the carpet’ through their strategy of capturing carbon dioxide under the ground.

The Bank of England interest rate rises hit mortgage and loan holders now with another interest rate hike. The licences are also exploratory – meaning it’ll be around a decade before any fuel is extracted if ever. Britain has so far refused to grant the ambassador full status, arguing the EU is an organisation rather than a country.

And yet, each time, the government defeats itself—because it breaks an international treaty, or hands more power to the EU, or fails to secure the agreement of the people it aims to attract. When the wealthy English set off on their European Grand Tours in the 1800s, they expected that Switzerland would inspire them with vistas of sublime grandeur.

He explores the notion that nationhood – that what it means to be English – is to be found on the surface of contemporary life, encapsulated by banal pastimes and everyday leisure activities.
