Daniel Hannan’s Sun Article A Knockout On Explaining EU Position

By  Ashley Young-

Dannie Hannan article   saying that  Brussels only wanted to keep the UK captive, and a ‘colony’ for their exporters makes strong reading when all the facts are checked out.

There are many reasons to conclude that the Uk created all this problem when David Cameron allowed the British public to vote for a referendum in 2016. Those strongly in favour of Brexit can argue that maybe EU bosses after all have a hidden but clear agenda to hold the Uk captive like a colony.

The benefits of believed benefits of remaining in the EU is now a different issue if as revealed by  exemplary politician Hannan,that we are being controlled by bullies who want us to remain their prisoners.  The associated issue is whether  the contribution from EU members match up to what the European Community as a whole benefit from the Uk.

Hannan’s  article about the potential philosophy motivating European leaders has been given the thumbs up by a majority number of a thinktank for this publication that contemplate among other things,  the issues surrounding the EU and its strongly debate terms of departure. It is not full proof acceptance of the Hannan’s position, but an acceptance that he makes strong points.

Daniel Hannan is credited for his insight and strong reasoning supported with some evidence  in assessing the EU stance on Britain as we try to negotiate our way out of the bloc.

POWERFUL

He gives a powerful picture of the true objectives of EU chiefs, and reveals recorded evidence that suggested a motive to keep the Uk as a colony. The revelation puts the political power struggle surrounding Brexit into perspective, but doesn’t abandon the essence of continuous examination of the economic and political viability of any proposals for a deal made in order to have a complete assessment.

SCEPTICAL
Daniels explained in an article for The Sun Newspaper why he is skeptical of Britain ever receiving a positive response from The EU : ”But my hunch is that Brussels will still say no. Why? Because, for the EU, the aim was never to avoid a hard border in Ireland — something these proposals plainly achieve.

SURBODINATE
He says the aim was to keep Britain in a ”subordinate position”, still subject to EU law and trade policy. He reveals a fly-on-the-wall documentary caught the staff of the European Parliament’s Brexit negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt, cheering when Theresa May’s Cabinet accepted the backstop.
“It took us two years,” said one, joyfully, “but we finally turned them into a colony”. Obviously, though, EU officials couldn’t take this line openly.

MOTIVATION

His insistence that holding Britain tied to EU laws was and remains the motivation for them to invent a story about avoiding border checks and making sure that violence did not come back to Irish politics is persuasive, and only looses some credibility if there is a legitimate issue about avoiding boarder checks.

CREDENTIALS

Hannan has been a Conservative Member of the European Parliament for South East England since 1999, and is the founding President of the Initiative for Free Trade. A columnist for about ten Uk publications, Hannan is The Editor In Chief Of The Conservative- a Quarterly journal of central right political thought.

He was the first Secretary-General of the Alliance of Conservatives and Reformists in Europe (ACRE), serving from 2009 to 2018, and one of the founders of Vote Leave. His outlook of EU bosses can be rubbished as propaganda and an excuse to avoid the potential disaster a Brexit no deal can cause, but it also presents another angle at how EU chiefs are secretly thinking.

 

OFFICIAL LINE

The official EU line is that the Uk left the EU, not the other way round, but  this cannot preclude them from negotiating a successful deal, or proving that no such deal exists. Not wanting the Uk to leave The EU cannot equate making circumstances for departure difficult, but their objections have to be properly assessed at every stage of refusal.

If  the issues  EU chiefs  raise  against the current proposals are valid , the country as a whole can explore solutions. Apart from that, the question is whether Britain can still be prosperous in a no deal Brexit .

For Anti Brexitiers , all they want is to see Brexit dropped, which he suggests of The EU officials too. He says  the boarder is not the real obstacle, but a smokescreen to hide the real issue of the EU having privileged access to the Uk market. The matter deserves further examination, but rings true as a strong possibility.

UNPALATABLE

He adds that :

”The EU responded by offering deliberately unpalatable terms.
It, like the opposition parties, plainly hopes that, if the terms are hard enough, Britain will drop the whole idea of Brexit.
As Michel Barnier, the Brexit negotiator, told EU leaders at the start of the process: “I’ll have done my job if, by the end, the terms are so hard that the Brits would prefer to stay in.”
