In the palmy year of 1874 the Women’s Christian Temperance Movement (WCTM), which had been founded in Cleveland, Ohio, presented a petition to Congress in Washington calling for the ‘making, selling, importation and exportation of intoxicating liquors’ to be banned.
The law on Prohibition resulted in two major consequences. The alcohol industry comprised 20% of the economy of the US state, with activities as diverse as preparing the land to sow ingredients to making the barrels to store and transport the drink to the employment of individuals in various activities related to sales and consumption. It appears that no one took any account of these activities. The second major consequence was the funding of organised crime, which continues to this day. The consequences of Brexit has not been as harsh but the perpetrators have escaped Scott free. No one is holding Farage or Johnson responsible for the loss of £100 billion in trade or £40 billion in tax revenues. They should. As with Prohibition there should be a body of government that analyses consequences and determines what can and cannot be done. The majority (well 36% of voters) that voted Leave would not be able to enunciate the effects on farm incomes, fishing licences, and a thousand other advantages of being in the EU. Needless to say Farage and Johnson saw advantages to themselves in Brexit.
More Speakeasys in NY during Prohibition than Bars Before.

Thank you for this lucid account of the contemporary problems arising in the relationship between morality and law.
