Brexit Watch publishes a "drains-up" assessment of misunderstandings (and misinformations?) concerning the UK's commitments to EU Defence Union post Brexit.
Are they being hyper-sensitive when there is "nothing to see here"? Or are elements of "our" government machine still manoeuvring to keep our MPs and the public and maybe even our ministers in the dark over the future of our armed forces?
The fact that there would seem to be a continuing news black-out about our post-Brexit military relationship with the EU (a topic which has always been excluded from the "Brexit negotiations") may tell those of us who harbour suspicions all we need to know.
If even some of these assertions are true then surely this amounts to criminal fraud on a grand scale?
It is a well-recognised principle of international law that an agreement based upon a fraud (including a fraud of omission) cannot be enforced as it would be legally vitiated. Perhaps anybody who may seek to ensnare us in treaty arrangements by such a means should consider that they might be repudiated if fraud is proven.
