This EU Won't Work

Nick Clegg, John Major, Emma Thompson and other Europhiles believe we shouldn’t be turning in on ourselves by leaving the partnership with our nearest neighbours. However, it has been said by an insider (Anonymous – on the radio) that our diplomats are almost totally absorbed in intra-EU issues with little brainpower left over to engage with the rest of the world. Far from retreating within the bounds of our “cake-filled, misery-laden, grey old island” (as Emma calls it) we should expand our now-diminished horizons to re-engage with the whole world.
