In his letter to all 650 UK MPsa, an accompanying press articleb and a blogc, A.C. Grayling reveals himself to be as susceptible to beliefs based on blind faith as the next man. Grayling’s faith lies in the merits of the European Union and a sentimental attachment to the noble ideals that he believes that body and its institutions represents. Touching as this sentiment may be, it is misplaced. History shows that the EU’s institutions serve only themselves.
