We have not been driven into Brexit at the point of a gun or out of
economic necessity, but purely for cultural reasons. State of
Paralysis explores the climate of opinion in Britain that has led
to more than seventy years of indecision about our relationship
with our continental neighbours and our role on the world's stage.
The post-war years saw many dramatic changes: the arrival of
weapons of mass destruction, the nuclear industries, space travel,
civil rights, global warming, the Internet, the digitalisation of
behaviour and the loss of Empire. The aim of the European Union was
to keep the peace on the continent and to face these global
problems. But has it done so? Have we in Britain been able to
adjust to the demands of the new world or are we clinging on to a
past that can never be recovered? John Elsom describes the
political impasse in parliament and the country over the terms of
Brexit to analyse what these motives were, how they were obtained
and where their consequences may lead. He approaches these issues
from the view of a political and cultural commentator, who has seen
at first hand many of the changes that have affected all our lives.
