The day after tomorrow,
the British people will give to the world their view of the European Union.
Yesterday, a pharmacology publication, Drug
Target Review, to which I subscribe, asked a group of life scientists, including
myself, to offer ours (Figure 96.1). I have published a selection of replies
(Figure 96.2 & 96.3).

Figure 96.2: I suspect that most of the views have come from non-British scientists.

Without
being disrespectful to my own branch of work, the future of life sciences is of
microscopic importance compared with the major political issues. Former Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev (1931-) had it right: why has the EU leadership been so
keen to recreate, with all its failings, the old USSR?
With
or without the UK, the EU will one day implode, as all such vainglorious empires
do. I have been willing it to happen ever since I read Margaret Thatcher’s
seminal ‘Bruges Speech’ 28 years ago. When it does, the pan-European relief
will be as palpable as when the Berlin wall was torn down – and millions of
ordinary individuals will ask themselves: ‘How did we come to be hoodwinked and
subjugated for so long?’
Let
us Brits bring forward that day. Vote LEAVE.
