Brexit surrender - echoes from the Forest of Compiegne.


It seems that some people see the Government’s Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union as a surrender document akin to the armistice which the Germans were obliged to sign in order to avoid a total military collapse as The First World War reached its climax.

The signing took place in a railway carriage in the Forest of Compiegne.

The letter below appeared in The Daily Telegraph on November 12.

SIR – I wonder if the EU will provide Mrs May with a railway carriage in which to sign the withdrawal agreement.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, MP for North-East Somerset, has been quoted as saying the Withdrawal Agreement would mean this country becoming a “vassal state” under the control of the European Union.  I could not possibly comment!
