THE SUN SAYS

The EU is the enemy of democracy — its contempt for voters will prove its downfall

If Brexit is negated there will be a collapse of faith in democracy and probable civil unrest beyond anyone’s experience

EU utter fools

WHO do the clowns in Brussels think they are kidding?

Donald Tusk tells EU institutions to “respect voters” they are “there to serve”.

Jean-Claude Juncker claims “only the Italians will decide on the future of their country” — a staggeringly blatant deceit, even for a self-confessed habitual liar.

The Italians were robbed of the eurosceptic government they voted for by a president doing Brussels’ dirty work.

The EU has trampled on every inconvenient vote from Ireland to Denmark to France. Its lavishly-funded Remainer stooges aim to do the same with Brexit.

How does Brussels think this all ends?

If Brexit is negated there will be a collapse of faith in democracy and probable civil unrest beyond anyone’s experience.

In Italy, eurosceptic parties will now have an even bigger mandate. What then?

The EU meets any dissent not with wise compromise but with brute force.

It is the enemy of democracy. Its contempt for voters will prove its epitaph.

Brussels pout

We welcome the PM's tougher tone towards Brussels, but she must back up her words

WE like Theresa May’s tougher tone towards the EU. But it’s action that counts.

If she’s serious about withholding our £39billion divorce payment until a trade deal is signed, great. But last we heard she was relying on “good faith” from Brussels which does not exist.

The PM must not issue empty threats. Nor pay a penny without a guaranteed return.

Coin tossers

Stamps marking our ENTRY into the Union were issued, but there are no plans to mark the UK freeing itself from Brussels' shackles

LIKE it or not, Brexit day next March will be a historic moment.

A new series of commemorative coins is a great idea the Treasury seems to back. Which makes it even more illogical not to print Brexit stamps too.

Logic, though, doesn’t cut it at the Royal Mail. Only its Remoaner chiefs’ prejudices.

Stink over ink

Raheem Sterling unveiled a M16 assault rifle tattoo on his leg

THE usual Sun-hating nitwit celebs and gormless keyboard warriors piled into us over Raheem Sterling’s tattoo.

Some, laughably, screamed “racism”. As if we wouldn’t put a white England star with a freshly-inked M16 on the front page (we would).

Others whinged we had undermined the nation’s World Cup hopes. As if the squad’s mental fortitude is that fragile.

No one supports England teams more vocally than The Sun. But are we supposed to censor or bury a controversial picture a footballer has already posted to 3.6million Instagram followers?

Harry Redknapp calls Raheem Sterling's M16 assault rifle tattoo a 'bad move'

Or ignore a tattoo which, with gang violence rife, outrages anti-gun campaigners? And is Damilola’s dad “unpatriotic” in urging Sterling to apologise?

Sterling is a great talent. But, whatever his motives, that tattoo is a grave misjudgement we were right to highlight.
