Britain, Great in Europe

BBC, Dec.16: In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph  Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said the UK will "flourish and prosper" even if it leaves the EU with no deal. "We've faced much bigger challenges in our history," he said.

Yes, there have been “much bigger challenges”, but the UK could not do anything about them (US rise, UK decline – including the world wars, Great Depression and decolonization etc.), and it has lost its leading position, whereas nowadays, the UK should be able to choose the successful route and "flourish and prosper" as part and parcel of the European Union.
