Lord Kerr: The Stupid United Kingdom will return to the EU in 20 years

Lord Kerr: The Stupid United Kingdom will return to the EU in 20 years

Лорд Кер: „Глупавото“ Обединено Кралство ще се върне в ЕС след 20 години

London. The man who wrote Article 50 claims that the "last great benefit" the UK has brought to the European Union is that no other country will ever be "stupid" to leave, the Times quoted him as saying..

Lord Kerr, a veteran diplomat who drafted the procedure for leaving the EU, said other Member States would abandon such ideas following the UK's actions as the implications become clear. "This will ensure that no one will be as stupid again as we are," he said.

Lord predicts that negotiations for the UK's future relations with the bloc, which begin on March 3, will quickly become "nasty and aggravated", fueling anger at the EU.

"As it is clear that the negotiations will not end happily, people will tend to blame foreigners," he said. "We will hear: 'They are adamant, they are confusing our Brexit' because all they do is to protect the interests of the EU 27."

Without the UK, the rest of the EU will change, said Lord Kerr, who spoke out against Brexit even more. during the referendum campaign. "It will be a little more protectionist, a little less open market, more, less turned out," he said.

"We were with the Dutch and the Danes, and then the other Scandinavians, when they arrived, most keen on free trade with the outside world. And geopolitically, the Baltic states, which tend to view the British as likely a strong opponent of the Kremlin, will be more worried now that we are not there.

The United Kingdom left the EU on Friday night nearly three years after Theresa May activated Article 50. to try to get the country out of the community

"It wasn't long after Joerg Heider came to power in Austria," he explained. "He was far right and we were worried about the paradox that we had very good criteria for testing whether a country could join - an open market, a free press, an independent judiciary? - but once a country has already joined, it may begin to disobey them.

"We imagined a situation where we were withdrawing our voting rights because of an autocracy movement, and its leader decided to leave, creating a chaotic legal situation." The

77-year-old Lord Kerr predicts that Britain will one day rejoin the Union. "My kids are sure to see us again," he added. "It will take a long time - 10 to 20 years, before we say, with a tilted tail, 'Can we go back now?

May I retort?

If Lord Kerr has any access to television, radio or the internet in his hideaway, surely, he has already seen what happens when you try to dismiss half the population as stupid. They tend to react not by saying ‘Oh, yes, I suppose we were a bit silly, weren’t we’, but by reaffirming their views whenever they have the opportunity to do so. At least Hillary Clinton only defamed a quarter of the US population by calling half of Trump’s supporters a ‘basket of deplorables’. Lord Kerr seems to think a full 52 percent of the UK population is stupid. We have already had three and a half years of this sort of thing, but alas, it doesn’t seem it is quite over yet. Indeed, I suspect the Remainer holdouts will still be fighting the 2016 referendum, still insisting that Brexit is the height of lunacy, if Britain now experiences what Japan did after the end of World War Two: three decades of economic miracle.

Just saying.

You may but we can see why you like The Spectator:

The Spectator is politically conservative. Like its sister publication The Daily Telegraph, The Spectator is generally Atlanticist and Eurosceptic in outlook, favouring close ties with the United States rather than with the European Union, and is supportive of Israel. It also strongly opposes Scottish independence.
