IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS TODAY, as the song goes, you would hardly get a surprise to see the panic that Britain's decision to leave the European Union has provoked among the foreign ministers of the six founding nations, aware as they are, no doubt, that there may be some intelligent and honest politicians and people lurking in other "member states" (sic) who have now seen that it is possible to leave the union and still be alive the next day and may wish to follow.
THUS, LIKE LITTLE TEDDY BEARS off on a picnic, Paolo Gentiloni from Italy, Didier Reynders from Belgium, Jean-Marc Ayrault from France, Bert Koenders from the Netherlands, Frank-Walter Steinmeier from Germany and Jean Asselborn from Luxemburg went a-wandering in the woods to presumably find some manner of avoiding further exits from their corrupt club.
INTERESTING IN THIS PANIC-PROVOKED situation is the similarity between what I am describing as a Teddy Bears' panic and the lyrics to the song I am quoting. "They love to play and shout, they never have any care;" goes the song, a description almost perfect for our Eurocrats, and then the ominous warning to children everywhere, one that Britain has fortunately understood: "It's lovely down in the woods today, but safer to stay at home."
