Brussels assassination not only threatens exodus but also enhance "Brexit risks"

Last month, David Cameron, scheduled referendum on the country’s membership of the European Union on June 23rd.

After this announcement, the lingering renegotiation of the current conditions of Britain’s membership at a summit in Brussels and about pros & cons of the potential Brexit event.

The move immediately prompted government ministers to declare their backing for either the “remain” or “leave” campaigns.

 Britain departing from the European Union—seemed remote. Today, largely because of Europe’s migration crisis and the interminable euro mess, the polls have narrowed. Some recent surveys even find a majority of Britons wanting to leave.

Today, back-to-back explosion shatters morning commutation of a major European city after evidencing 13 death troll; the railway squares of Antwerp and Paris echo to the bang of army boots; the borders of the Netherlands, Belgium and France slam shut on the expectation of stopping terrorists yet again.

While all pressing opinions leave the people of Brussels today, the authenticity is that this latest terror outrage accelerates a huge blow across Europe and its cherished notions of open borders, free movement, tolerance and free speech.

Political leaders will call for courage from the public to resist turning inwards, to refuse to allow the terrorists to divide and rule us, but the failure yet again to prevent a major attack makes such calls ever harder to heed.

In between all these adverse developments, David Cameron has been in talks with U.K's security spies to discuss the terror threat to the country in France style. Hence, mounting terror threats in Europe has an adverse impact on reconsideration of Brexit talks.
