Who's Humiliation?

The Times leader today says, “last night’s summit was a historic humiliation for Britain.”  They are wrong – the humiliation was exclusively that of our Parliament, not the people of Britain.  Parliament sought direction from the people but when it didn’t like the answer it had been given it did everything in its power to change direction.  We are now told that the only way forward is for Parliament to, somehow, cobble together a compromise.  Past form suggests this is highly unlikely, especially if the compromise is required to endure through the law-making process.  Otherwise, we shall still be in this position on Halloween.  The only honourable course left is to walk away now – if the EU wishes to trade and cooperate with us, as it is surely in their primary interest to do, they will soon come back to the table.
