Well, Iains and Stanron, Wilders and Le Pen are both anti-EU fascists. Italy is out of love with the EU too. Merkel may well lose her grip. Then of course there's Putin. You may be feeling prematurely triumphalist about all that. As for me, I'm just recalling what Europe was like before we had the fully-fledged EU, when we had an economic crisis (inevitable again if the EU implodes) and when we had a few fascists at the helm. Anyone for Salazar, the Greek colonels, Franco...and Hitler? Do you think Mr "America first" will jump in to save us?

There will be no "good deals" for us. We're stuffed whatever happens. And we are the major contributor to that. Your days of hope are days of cloud cuckoos.
