I seem to recall in a blog this time last year, also drawing an analogy between that event and the goings-on in the Conservative Party following the Brexit vote and CameronвЂ™s resignation.

Just to finish вЂ“ I read in the online Washington Post 14 th July, that the creator of вЂњGame of ThronesвЂќ (7 th season about to start) George RR Martin, based the theme of the original series on the Wars of the Roses in 15 th century England. Where we end up on Brexit regards the bigger picture вЂ“ remains to be seen. The good news is that it appears all consumer legislation relating to our industry will be transposed into UK law so consumers will continue to be protected. In addition of course, the election results have meant that the Remainers in Parliament on the government side have become emboldened, whilst Labour still appear to be havering around what they actually want from the negotiations. The main opposition arises from the fact that under the Bill, Ministers will have the right to change details in the Regulations without reference to Parliament and with such a slim majority, the temptation to make changes that donвЂ™t have to be debated and voted on is gong to be hard for this Government to resist. The main purpose of the Bill is to transposeВ 40 years of EU legislation into domestic UK Legislation and substitute EU institutions for UK ones. Whilst no-one is going to the scaffold or the stake over their opposition to this major piece of legislation, it appears that the appeals by the our embattled Prime Minister and David Davis the Brexit Minister, for co-operation and consensusВ fell on pretty deaf ears as within hours, all opposition parties in Westminster had condemned the Bill and the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales had declared their opposition as well. The only reason I quoted this was because this was my first thought when the so-called Department for Exit from the European Union (DEXEU) published вЂњThe Great Repeal Bill вЂњ as it has come to be known вЂ“ although officially it is called вЂњThe European Union (Withdrawal) Bill 2017вЂќ but it is so-named because it is as important as Henry VIIIвЂ™s Great Repeal Bill, enacted after his split with Rome and his move to become head of the Church of England as then was.

Now I am sure I am not the only one who thought this was from Shakespeare вЂ“ in my mind вЂњMidsummer NightвЂ™s DreamвЂќ which of course is full of mistaken identities etc.В It is not however, it is in fact of much later origin and comes from the epic poem вЂњMarmionвЂќ penned by Sir Walter Scott in 1808 about the Battle of Flodden.В I have no doubt my colleague Sue McNicol would in any event have corrected me! Of course the quote вЂњOh what a tangled web we weaveвЂ¦вЂќ finishes off вЂњвЂ¦when first we practice to deceiveвЂќ.
