It will be war.
This is the stark warning David Cameron gave yesterday, predicting that peace in Europe could collapse if Britain withdraws from the European Union in a month’s time.
If your hear trumpets and a pounding of hooves in the distance, it is because the latest proclamation from so-called Project Fear has rallied the final horseman of the apocalypse to the cause:
War
Cameron asked: “Can we be so sure that peace and stability on our continent are assured beyond any shadow of doubt?
“Is that a risk worth taking? I would never be so rash as to make that assumption.”
Is the Prime Minister saying a horde of warlike Frenchmen will sail for Hastings June 24th if Britain returns a vote to leave? Well, he isn’t not saying it.

But even if the fragile peace which has held since 1945 does survive a Brexit vote, plenty of other ills will still stalk the newly-imperilled British Isles…

And the first three evils visited upon a UK undefended by Brussels can have only one ultimate consequence…

Death
The final horseman’s coming is inevitable in light of the other three.
Not only that, but counter-terror and police sources have repeatedly hinted at a major terror attack should our supposed security advantages from EU membership evaporate.

But they do still have a whole six weeks of campaigning to get there.
