In the gutter

Even if Remain win, today Monday 9^th of May 2016, will go down as the day when our prime minister sank into the gutter.

Remember back in February the prime minister told the House of Commons that Britain would be just fine post-Brexit.   

 He said if he didn’t get minor changes to migrant benefits he would consider leaving:  “I will never argue that Britain couldn’t survive outside the European Union… Let me say again, if we can’t secure these changes, I rule nothing out.”

Today he tells us leaving the EU could mean World War 3:  “The serried rows of white headstones in lovingly tended Commonwealth war cemeteries stand as silent testament to the price this country has paid to help restore peace and order in Europe. Can we be so sure that peace and stability on our continent are assured beyond any shadow of doubt? Is that a risk worth taking?  I would never be so rash as to make that assumption.”

As one relative of a brave solder killed in the 2^nd World War put it:  “Just heard more of Cameron’s speech today re BREXIT meaning war in Europe and invoking the British soldiers and the “serried rows of white headstones” their testament to a safe and secure Europe."

“Well my great uncle was killed in his tank at Caen after the landings, his is one of those white headstones at Cambes-en-Plaine War Cemetery.”

“I'm sure when my uncle was burning to death in his tank he didn't think this is for a greater EU so that my country is reduced in status.”

“Cameron is a man who studiously avoided putting on a uniform all his life – how dare he invoke my uncles death in support of his specious arguments to remain.  The man just has lost it.  Completely beneath contempt.”
