So do you really think that Brexit is going to do anything to halt Britain's self-destruction? This inclusiveness madness is coming from the US, not the EU. It's an American disease. Don't you think there's a chance that Brexit will leave Britain even more exposed to this deadly American infection? That Brexit will make Britain even more of a cultural colony of the US?
Yes of course - but we were a cultural and political colony of America since Suez. I tend to wish we'd leave Nato but it won't happen and if it did we'd still be an American cultural satellite.
Just to clarify, I'm not saying this an an apologist of Germany. I am far from it. But maybe it would have been wiser for Britain (and the liberal democracies) to let Hitler and Stalin wear each other out, and simply stay out of the whole thing, if that was at all a possibility. I guess hindsight is 20/20, to use an American expression.

DeleteI too have no sympathy for Germany in the war but agree, as did the great historian Maurice Cowling.
