For me, his final paragraph is a cop out:-
"I believe that we should remain within the union. But we should do so in the spirit of true scepticism: a refusal to believe anything until we have read the small print; a refusal to suspend our disbelief. Is it possible to be a pro-European Eurosceptic? I hope so, because that is what I am"
For Monbiot, "the spirit of true scepticism" above means do nothing.

I am also a pro-European Eurosceptic and I see things more like this (it is one of the comments made on Monbiots' article):-
"I'm starting to hate my husband. He is a bully, ignores my wishes and will never change his ways. He also takes lots of my hard-earned money and I am supposed to be grateful when I get a little of it back...though he tells me what to spend it on.
He has started bringing in lots of people into our house and its getting cramped but he doesn't care. Yesterday he said there's still enough room for lots of his Turkish, Albanian and Bosnian friends.
I can't bring myself to leave him though, because....I'm absolutely terrified of becoming independant."


As per my longish post of about a week ago (post number 242 on page 17), are we up for this or do we follow Monbiots' lack of moral fibre?
