I suspect Paul Brincau’s increasingly hysterical letters painting everything EU black and prophesying doom for all the nations belonging to it will eventually make amusing reading sometime in the future, once the United Kingdom has completed the Brexit process and the consequences thereof have become evident.
He ignores the fact that the UK is the only country wishing to leave the EU.
Of course, there are many differences between the constituent nations on how to move forward but healthy debate is never harmful and it would be hopelessly unrealistic for anyone to expect individual nations within the EU to have identical wants and needs.
Brincau and his fellow Brexiteers doubtlessly hope someone else will follow the UK towards the exit door, if for no other reason than to justify their own nationalistic desires, but I fear they will be sorely disappointed.
As for the UK, perhaps Brincau might like to reflect on the fact that ongoing evidence suggests the areas of Britain that voted to leave will be the ones hardest hit by Brexit, that UK economic growth as a whole is likely to suffer for decades as a result of leaving the EU and that each and every ally of the UK (apart from Donald Trump) believes the decision to leave is very much the wrong choice.
