Former MI6 head: Safer Britain if Grexit
Britain may be safer if you vote for the exit from the European Union because it will have greater control over immigration, says Richard Ntierlav, former head of the British Intelligence Service MI6.
His comments, in the wake of the attacks in Brussels contradict the Prime Minister David Cameron's statements, who said that in an increasingly unstable world, Britain was in a weak position if they would withdraw from the European Union.
Richard Ntierlav, leader of MI6 from 1999 to 2004, indicates that the country's exit from the EU not only will not significantly harm the national security, but instead may be the benefit.
"Regardless of whether one is pro-European enthusiast or not, the truth about Brexit terms of national security is that the cost to the UK will be low," he writes in Prospect magazine.
"The Brexit will bring two important benefits in safety: the ability to get rid of the European Convention on Human Rights ... and even more importantly, a greater control over the European Union immigration".
The Ntierlav considers that the United States will be displeased by an exit of Britain from the European Union, but believes that the relationship with Washington will be restored.
Placing the UK in a leading position in the European Union in the field of Information and Security, the Ntierlav considers that the country's output will affect the national security of the Union.
"Europe will be potentially lost in the national security sector. But if there Brexit, it is certain that Britain will have the magnanimity not to oblige Europeans to pay the costs, "he writes.
The EU security services are "strainers" that should be "synchronized with the slower and more perforated vessels (countries)," he writes.
Attacks in Brussels gave new food to the public debate about Brexit, with its output supporters to argue that the policy of the Union's open borders allowed the carnage.
