The Sunday Times featured an interview with former interim US Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton in which he asks the question that is on everyone's mind: "Does Britain really want to be Belgium?" (Note: if it means we will get fritessaus on our chips and moules frites in every pub then my answer is possibly!) As the blustery ex-"diplomat" puts it: "Do you want to be an independent country or a county in a big Europe?...If Britain wants to be subsumed into the European soup, the United States will have to react accordingly – and we will, make no mistake." I think when he used the term "independent country" he is using it in the obscure sense of "vassal to the United States".
