The weary Syrian refugees are standing in their own feces across the English Channel at the port of Calais, while the British Parliament argues whether or not their border is secure.
British Prime Minister David Cameron is debating in the House of Parliament whether more or less terrorists will enter the country if Britain leaves the European Union with 23rd of June scheduled for the “Brexit” Referendum.
Cameron has championed a “special designation” for Britain within the E.U., but the likes of London mayor Boris Johnson is leading the fight in a split Conservative Party in favour of leaving. It is reminiscent of UKIP party leader Nigel Farage who ran a campaign sin 2015 primarily on the ‘benefits’ of exiting the E.U., re-introducing the traditional British value of smoking in pubs, and the vilifying of immigrants which in turn would have given way to unprecedent descrimination of visible minorities.
However, leaving the E.U. would create more frustration than benefit. The British Pound Sterling is already suffering due to uncertain economic conditions with the currency already down and economists predict it could fall as much as 15-20 percent if British citizens opt-out of their European values.
According to The Economist, betting markets put the odds that Britons opt to leave at two-to-one; some polls suggest the voters are evenly split. This speculation comes from the self-righteous assumption that Europe “needs” Britain, when in reality it is the opposite –the EU takes almost half Britain’s exports, whereas Britain takes less than 10% of the EU’s.
Half of Britain’s migrants come from the EU, which is alarming to the warmongerers in parliament that cry foul over the miniscule possibility that terrorists will come in along with the “swarm” of future entrepreneurs, doctors and lawyers. Not to mention, the doubtful possibility an extremist would trek the long journey from the Middle East to London via a dingy docked in the Greek islands. In reality, the threat is already in the U.K., sitting in their rooms reading ISIS propoganda on social media, much the same in 2005’s 7/7 London Bombings where the four perpetrators were actually British citizens.
A Brexit from the E.U. does not guarentee safety or unrestrained economic prosperity, but what it would make for certain is a Britain that will be incredibly nationalist with ‘Little Englanders’ reveling in their first win, while refugees will continue to die by the thousands thanks to inaction by Britain, Europe, and radical conservatism, that have failed to learn from its checkered past.
