It's come to this. A British columnist says Prime Minister May should tell the British people that their vote to leave the European Union cannot be done:
I want to tell you the absolute truth as I see it. It cannot be done. Yes, you can shout. You can storm out. But I have looked at it every which way. And, as your leader, I have concluded that it cannot be done without enormous damage to our economy, to your living standards, to our public services, to our standing in the world. This is damage I am not prepared to inflict. The cost is too high.
Wow. The British people voted. But it is to be rejected by Britain's leaders.
Britain needs a little more of this resolve:
[We] shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender[.]
Britain needs to defend their island democracy and fight the EU on the subsidies, fight them at the Chunnel, fight them on the agricultural subsidies and in the business regulations, fight them in the towers of the EU Lords--and never surrender to the latest of the continental empires that want to control Britain, promising that Britain will be "stronger in Europe."
Get out of the EU now while you can, Britain.
Imagine how Putin must feel to see that secret police and tanks were amateurs in keeping the Soviet empire in line when compared to the awesome power of entangling cheese regulations and all the rest of the red tape the proto-empire in Brussels wraps around Britain to choke the last gasps of free men and women who wish to live free.
Britain will be fine in the world cut loose from the albatross of the continent's dysfunctions and "ever closer union."
