Since it clearly doesn't want to let the UK go, many have suggested that the only way to free ourselves from it is to destroy it.

Do you really think the UK is capable of doing that, without an overwhelming retaliation? They're not stupid, you know..

By destroy the EU, I mean bring down the corrupt institutions of the EU, so that it ceases to exist.

We could bankrupt it, for example, by immediately withdrawing all our assets from the ECB, or halting all EU payments immediately.

My mistake, I thought you meant a civil insurrection.

That won't bankrupt them.

It would be a sudden shock, from which they might not recover.
