Will the British make Great Britain great again?

OBSERVING Britain's Brexit process over the last four years, I was often struck by one particular aspect - the widespread expressions of bafflement over why anyone would vote Leave.

In The Guardian newspaper last week, Gary Lineker, BBC presenter and former national footballer, said of Brexit: "I find it difficult to comprehend."

A visiting Cambridge University professor suggested to me last year, with typical British understatement: "You must find what's happening amusing."
