American official recommends caution on Europe referendum

The Americans are now being more sensible on the question of British membership of the European Union than our elected Conservative prime minister. I never thought I'd see the day.

Still, what else can we expect from a man who has to share a party platform with Douglas Carswell? The Clacton M.P's insighful comment on Twitter being, "A US official believes UK should continue to be ruled by EU officials. Hardly surprising - it's how officials think.".

Politicians should always be wary of advocating collective blame - which they have a tendency to attract themselves. Further while Philip Gordon can blandly be described as an 'official' he could just as easily be referred to as a respected academic and published author.
