Verse 2 from Tennysons Poem. Mr Johnson misqouted the poem. He said 'do or die' the actual poem is 'do and die' which is a rather different meaning. As ever Mr Johnson never totally truthful with his use of language?

Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

All in the same boat
Tempted to reply 'you wish' but I don't know whether you do wish it. None of the remaining 27 want the UK to leave but the impact on them is going to be of a completely different magnitude. (Perhaps that is what the oft-cited gallic shrug is about.) The approach in the other 27 is markedly different from Britain's 'f**k business' approach
