BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, After the Vote, Britain, Europe and the World

The philosopher John Gray argues that Britain should look to Brexit as a new beginning.

Five of Britain's leading thinkers give their personal view of Brexit.

In these special editions of Radio 4's long-running essay programme, A Point of View, five of Britain's leading thinkers, give their own very personal view of "Brexit" - what the vote tells us about the country we are, and are likely to become.

Today, the philosopher John Gray who has presented on Radio 4 for many years, argues that Britain should look to Brexit as a new beginning in which it "can throw off the dead weight of a failing European project". 

He says we should now accept the new opportunities given to us and "make our home in a more spacious world". 



Producer: Adele Armstrong.
