For the first time in 40 years, the people of Britain will choose to stay in the European Union or make an exit. This historical referendum, scheduled for Jun. 23, is being referred to as a “Brexit.”
Ostensibly, the polls show that many Britons are in favor of getting off the roller coaster ride of the EU. But you know who isn’t in support of Britain leaving the EU? United States President Barack Obama.
The president is so against it that he is scheduled to deliver a speech in the United Kingdom next month urging voters to stay in the EU. This move is angering many Britons (SEE: Will the U.S. prevent Britain from exiting the European Union?). The latest Briton to be enraged is London Mayor and Conservative Member of Parliament Boris Johnson.
Johnson is urging the U.S. president to not interfere in Britain’s EU referendum.
Writing in an op-ed in the London Telegraph, Johnson, who is seen as the next British prime minister, lambasted Obama for trying to intervene into a potential Brexit. He explained that the U.S. constantly defends its national sovereignty and would likely reject any type of deal the UK is involved in with the EU. So why would the U.S. urge the UK to stay in the EU?
“We will be informed by our most important ally that it is in our interests to stay in the EU, no matter how flawed we may feel that organisation to be. Never mind the loss of sovereignty; never mind the expense and the bureaucracy and the uncontrolled immigration,” Johnson wrote Monday.
“The American view is very clear. Whether in code or en clair, the President will tell us all that UK membership of the EU is right for Britain, right for Europe, and right for America. And why? Because that – or so we will be told – is the only way we can have ‘influence’ in the counsels of the nations.”
In the end, according to Johnson, Uncle Sam’s involvement is “outrageous and exorbitant hypocrisy.”
BHO BOZO is preaching the bankers song, they do not want the UK to exit the EU. BHO BOZO is bought and paid for by Wall Street, like most U.S. politicians.
