Britain's 500 year policy to maintain a disunited Europe ended with Brexit

[montelatici]

The irony is that Brexit has brought Europe together. Sir Humphrey, the civil servant in the British TV show "Yes Minister" said to the minister he was serving:

"Britain has had the same foreign policy objective for at least the last 500 years: to create a disunited Europe.”

It is too funny.

I forget who said it but they put it well, that Brexit will end up making the UK into a low wage tax haven. The dying gasp of the British empire.

Still a text book for how government works. Classics.

Taking into account how many countries with different background are now in the EU, it won’t be very difficult to create a ‘disunited Europe’ even without Britain inside.

"Sir" Humphrey got that right.
Sadly, Europe will have to carry on without the English. In all honesty, they will be missed. I wonder if the Scottish will find a way to stay with the rest of us in the European Union.

Actually, Europe is forging ahead on integration. The British were the ones that were blocking more integration.

I think the Scots would be attractive to the EU.Civilised and democratic.They would provide a have for a lot of the companies who are getting out.
