Hubris is such a damaging characteristic which we can all be guilty of. But the hubris of rampant EU expansion is the most damaging of all and I think we should be proud of the fact that UK called the EU out on it. No matter what bit of it rankled with you....and there are too many cliched stereotypes thrown out by remainers, there were all symptoms of something that people felt but maybe could not articulate too clearly...the EU experiment had overstepped its mark, its purpose and its sense of restraint. Maastrict was the watershed and the poison has festered ever since. A bursting abscess is never a pretty sight....but the patient feels better afterwards!
The problem is Wheeze, they no longer propose to drain the poison. They are hoping to put a sticking plaster over it in the hope nobody notices that nothing has changed, other than permanent revocation of britains power to decide whether to lance it in future or not. The sticking plaster will cost 39 billion, and thats before they add the "extended delay" extortion.
