Brexit Crisis: Coming to the Boil

At what is clearly a critical and historic moment it is right for this blog to re-state my position.

The EU is the greatest political achievement since the fall of Rome, uniting the whole European family and civilization into a single economic and political entity, sharing sovereignty, whilst at the same time preserving independent nation states. I am proud of my EU citizenship and I value the four freedoms.

Whatever terms are agreed, if any, and however we leave if we do, will be nothing like as good at any level and for anyone, as staying in. For those reasons, if we do actually Brexit, no longer a certainty, within less than two decades we will go back in, reversing the greatest folly in our long and worthy history.

No ambiguities or nuanced double speak here.
