Letter to The Editor - Giving up the fight, however, would be a sign of national decadence

To The Australian        Well done, those "more than 100 grassroots Tory chairmen and party officers" who have told Mrs May that she should "deliver what the country knows to be Brexit" ("PM offers Corbyn a Boris lock on Brexit", 8/4)! Alas, neither she nor the House of Commons seem willing to do that, as the one-vote victory of a motion rejecting a "no deal exit" has shown, to say nothing of her turning Brexit into "essentially staying in the EU without a vote at the table." The great question now is whether the ordinary people of Britain themselves have the integrity and stamina to fight on to remove themselves from the noxious EU. A campaign of civil disobedience may be needed, together with a new Brexit party. Giving up the fight, however, would be a sign of national decadence and the people would then deserve their fate.
