Brexit: Damned if we dare
EUROPEAN Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker talks of ‘ accelerating’ Brexit negotiations, but it’s clear that Brussels is determined to be as obstructive as it can.
It’s not just angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron ratcheting up demands: the rot goes far deeper. This, at least, was what one former member- state minister explained to me at the Cliveden Literary Festival this weekend.
Brussels’sBrussels s main worry is that if Brexit is a success it will cause a rush for the exit from other member states.
This means that all efforts are now focused on ensuring that Britain gets the worst possible deal so we can be made an example of. Leave, and Brussels will do everything in its power to destroy us.
If the Government collapses and Corbyn is elected, that will be our punishment for daring to stand up to the elites in Brussels.
