Niall Ferguson, "I was wrong on Brexit"   

Published on Dec 8, 2016

Roland Rudd is scornful, bitter, superior. Marieluise Beck conspiratorial. Anton Muscatelli 'rational' self-concealed pessimism. Total derision against a Sovereignty (Hard) Brexit. Usual misunderstandings and slurs against brexit, nothing new added to the debate by the continuity remain voices. So the whole debate is not for optimists.
