Brussels bosses claim Brexit will cause RIOTS in Britain, secret report reveals
BRUSSELS bosses claim that Brexit will cause RIOTS in Britain, a bombshell report has revealed.
Officials think that civil unrest is almost certain in Britain when we leave the EU - no matter what happens.
A secret report, unveiled by the Mirror, EU bosses say that there will be a fresh independence vote in Scotland and unification vote in Northern Ireland within 18 months of our exit.
And the report, which has been drawn up by intelligence chiefs across the bloc, said Britain was "unstable" and was likely to remain so for years.
It is being kept quiet for fear of causing more tensions as Brexit comes to another crunch point this week, it was claimed.
Last night a separate survey claimed that forty per cent of Brits are more likely to participate in violent protests because of Brexit.
An annual Trust Barometer by communications firm Edelman also found that Brexit has made seven in ten people angrier about politics.
An EU source said of the secret report: “Analysis of the threat levels in Britain is being shared at the top of the EU as we formulate policy for the years ahead. The assessment is that violence is almost inevitable no matter what.
"They are worried that if the current deal goes through the right-wing will kick off. If there’s no deal everybody will object and kick off. If there’s a second referendum, the right will kick off. The right kicking off is causing most concern.
"This analysis is being kept very quiet for obvious reasons."
A senior government source said that public order offences and protests were also likely.
Yesterday the Sunday Times revealed that the Government was planning for a possible state of emergency after Brexit.
And Health Secretary Matt Hancock said ministers did have the power of martial law to quell any disruption that could occur.
He told the Andrew Marr Show: "It remains on the statute book, but it isn't the focus of our attention."
