Hugh Bennett's article in favour of Brexit is an impressive
example of rewriting history to suit one's, otherwise unjustifiable, argument. Pro Brexit commentators wax lyrical about how
much the Euro has apparently punished the economies of southern EU member
states, but have completely ignored the structural weaknesses in these
economies that have long been present in them.
Greece for one has a toxic culture of tax evasion throughout its elite
that has nothing to do with the EU.
Bennett's hint
that the real forces of internationalism are behind Brexit fly in the face of
reality. Throughout Europe Brexit is not
supported by dynamic internationalists but by preachers of the old nationalism
that have worked hard to set our continent back decades. I trust Bennett will not let the truth get in
the way of a good yarn on my account in
the future.
