Comment I posted_ on the First Things blog_.

I have just returned from the open air concert_ of the Czech
Philharmonic in the Prague Castle, which finished with the last movement
of the Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. I would really love this to be played
in some great park in the centre of London today.  Perhaps even Mrs.
Murphy would understand that there is perhaps something good even in
Germans, but way more importantly she might understand that struggle for
the brotherhood of people is something which is worthy of the fight.
That Leavers should overcome their feeling of inferiority and try to
fight for the better Europe rather than giving up on the fight and
running away.

And of course, with her name, to say that Scots, Welsh, and Irish have
no right to their own voice is something which dares the spirit of
William Wallace to rise up and tell what he thought about such nonsense.
It is usual, people who claim to fight for sovereignty don’t really care
about the rights of all but more for their own right to dominate others.
