We have lived through this mistake for 60 years now. — Daniel Hannan

"The most dangerous diminutions of freedom come from those who are convinced of their moral rectitude."

The European Commission has said so. The markets have said so, which is why our currency has devalued by thirty percent. And soon, the voters too will get their chance to say so. They can see what the markets have already seen: that you are the devalued Prime Minister of a devalued Government"
