David Cameron thinks Brexit could lead to war... and he’s probably right

Boris Johnson said David Cameron’s hints about post-Brexit war in Europe were ‘wholly bogus’ Credit: WILL OLIVER/EPA


Time to face the cold, hard truth. This isn’t scaremongering. After the EU referendum, there will be war. It will be bitter, bloody, and cause misery for years to come.

I’m not talking about war in Europe, obviously. I’m talking about war in the Tory party. Its pro- and anti-EU factions are now rubbishing each other so openly that it’s impossible to see how they can reunite afterwards.

Today there were big EU speeches by two leading Tories: David Cameron (pro-EU), and Boris Johnson (anti-EU). The Prime Minister made his at the British Museum – speaking just a stone’s throw from the statue of Rameses II, aka Ozymandias. As in, the statue that inspired Shelley’s poem about the inevitable fall of an arrogant empire. Look on the work of the people who book your venues for you, Prime Minister, and despair.

Mr Cameron’s message was that Brexit could lead to war. He didn’t say so explicitly, but he hinted at it so heavily that the voter could hardly have drawn any other inference. “Can we be so sure that peace and stability on our continent are assured beyond any shadow of doubt?” he intoned sternly. “Is that a risk worth taking?”

Mere months ago, Mr Cameron was threatening to endorse a Leave vote unless the EU let him water down benefits for immigrants. At that time, we can only infer, the Prime Minister was prepared to risk war in Europe if he didn’t get permission to cut tax credits for Poles.

Well, either that or he’s now exaggerating desperately. One or the other.

Boris Johnson spoke at the London HQ of Vote Leave. His speech was strikingly un-Boris-like: no jokes, no flippancy, the language almost entirely plain. His sole concession to merriment came when he boasted of being able to sing Ode to Joy in German. “Go on,” coaxed his audience.

You could tell Boris was desperate to resist. He was trying so hard to be the serious statesman. For several seconds he manfully waved away the coaxing. But the force of habit proved too great.

“Freude, schöner Götter…”


As for Mr Cameron’s warning of war, the former Mayor of London was derisive. He called the suggestion “wholly bogus”, and questioned the Prime Minister’s sincerity. It was Nato, not the EU, that maintained peace, he explained; indeed, to argue that the EU maintained peace, as Mr Cameron had, was to “risk undermining” Nato.


ITV’s Robert Peston gently reminded Boris that 18 months earlier he’d published a biography of Churchill. In it, Boris had written that “the European Community, now Union, has helped to deliver a period of peace for its people as long as any since the days of the Antonine emperors”. Why had he changed his mind?

Somehow, Boris managed to disregard this question and launched into a spiel about Churchill’s love of democracy.

Oh, the Tories. They shall fight in the fields and in the streets, they shall fight in the hills…

Goodbye Dave....Boris tells it how it is:

Poll of polls shows both sides even.

MaxK - 09 May 2016 23:58 - 1661 of 12628

Which means the remain side is fecked!

Support among business for Britain staying in the EU has declined since David Cameron announced an in/out referendum three months ago, but still remains significant. Despite warnings about the economic costs of Brexit from the Treasury, the International Monetary Fund and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the lead for the remain side has narrowed from 30 points to 17. - The Guardian

Global banks have turned more cautious towards the UK as a potentially economically disruptive vote on EU membership looms in June, according to a rating agency. Credit Benchmark, an agency that aggregates the internal lending risk assessments of big international banks and uses them to devise ratings, said that lenders had turned slightly more cautious towards the UK earlier this year. - Financial Times
