Er...yes. If you're a bit stupid.

The correct thing to do is to firstly evacuate your own family safely.

Then dial 999, and let them deal with it professionally.
Yes, it is a dumb statement. And not even original ... one of Cameron's speech writers must have read ... or misread ... FDR's lend-lease speech

But it is a sad day for you guys, and for democracy in general ... esp. when polls over there are showing 49% support for leaving the EU; and that is without a formal, orgainized campaign to whip up support for the "let's get the hell out while we still have a country" point of view.
