After Jean Claude Juncker's state of the union speech last week The Telegraph ran an editorial (HERE) saying his plans were all the proof needed that Britain could not remain in the EU. During his speech the editorial said, "it became apparent that we would have regretted far more a decision to stay, for Mr Juncker outlined a future for the EU that the UK could never have countenanced".
What is the matter with us? Why is it that 27 countries can work together despite their differences on some issues but for some reason we can't? What is it in the British psyche that makes cooperation something that we could not countenance? The EU must be baffled. The future partnership papers and Mrs May's letter invoking article 50 all talk of a deep and special partnership but when it comes to having one, our newspapers say it's something we cannot countenance.
Johnson says (HERE) that, "our friends have embarked on a visionary but difficult project. Though the eurozone is growing more strongly now – and that is immensely positive – the logic of their ambition means trying to construct what is effectively a single polity out of 27 countries". He concedes they are growing more strongly than we are but objects to making a single polity (an organized society; a state as a political entity) out of Europe. Yet he regards the "United States as one of the finest ideological and cultural creations" but a United States of Europe? No, this cannot be allowed to happen if Britain has to be a part of it.
The man is an idiot and so are we for allowing him anywhere near the levers of power.
