Anyway, the main thing is that the chances of Britain leaving EU are minuscule, if even that, but the damage already being done by the very act of raising the spectre of a continued membership referendum should be obvious to all; one can only hope that pragmatism will prevail and reactions be tamed to take account of the facts that (a) if a week's a long time in politics, 4-5 years is an eon, (b) no such referendum is likely to be held unless the present British government either wins the next General Election or there is a Tory majority thereat and (c) even if one is held, the likelihood that it will do other than result in a decision to remain within EU is as near to a dead cert as can be imagined.
