Dear subscriber,
“An Imperial EU Wants to Squash Britain.” That was the title of my Trumpet Brief almost a month ago. Now that’s clearer than ever. The European Union is trying to impose a one-sided Brexit deal on the UK. British Prime Minister Theresa May could not get the Brexit deal through Parliament, so last week she returned to Europe for help. It gave her none.
On Thursday, leaders of the 27 EU member states gathered for a private dinner, without Ms. May, to discuss her request. Here, wrote the Spectator, they “decided to pull the plug on cooperating with her, and instead removed supportive phrases from the draft conclusions of the summit so that it was clear that there was no longer a spirit of cooperation”(emphasis added).
There is “no longer a spirit of cooperation” between Britain and the EU. Instead, the EU is giving diktats and the UK is expected to obey.
“May hadn’t expected to return with everything improved and signed off,” it wrote. “But she had traveled to Brussels believing the summit would at least provide her with evidence that EU leaders were listening to the UK Parliament. This isn't the first time May has been humiliated at such a meeting.”
She asked for help, and received humiliation.
Britain is under diplomatic assault from Europe. And from the mess here in the UK, it’s clear we’re losing.
Why?
There are a lot of important reasons, but here’s one many have not considered: We have forgotten our history.
