Welcome to the fight. This time I know our side will win

They grab Ugarte and she walks in – One in One out

With apologies to Richard Blane and Viktor Laszlo

So there you have it, as a key advisor of Tony Blair, Sir David Manning claimed leaving the EU would condemn Britain to irrelevance on the world stage.

  Sir David Geoffrey Manning, GCMG CVO (born 5th December 1949) is a former British diplomat, who was the British Ambassador to the United States from 2003 to 2007. He authored the so-called ‘Manning Memo’ summarising the details of a January 2003 meeting between American president George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. He has since been appointed to the Household of TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry of Wales.

If that’s the best reason all these so called Men of Straw can come up with to keep the entire population of the UK in bondage to the dreaded EU Commission, there’s not much hope for us anyway. Possibly people like Sir David are alarmed by the prospect that when they choose to open their mouth, on this mythical World Stage no one will be listening.

But what they choose to avoid mentioning is the one incontrovertible fact above all else, that the EU cannot work without becoming a Federal Superstate with policy, treasury and political matters dictated by a European Parliament.

This would make what Sir David now relies on for his bread and butter an ‘irrelevance’.  For what point would there be in Queen and Country and three male heirs? If we were subsumed into a United States of Europe, as a satellite state ruled by an EU president and a political system that cannot even get its accounts approved in 14yrs.

With the advent of a referendum and the approval of Brexit it is surely now a matter of course that we will soon be able to breathe freely without the intervention of unelected commissars plaguing our everyday lives But they have to be watched every step of the way. However  with Germany anxious to qualify the terms of any on-going relationship with the EU. Maybe the wheels will turn more swiftly as we embrace the whole wide world with special relationships that have endured the test of time.
