NATO chief, General Jens Stoltenberg, has warned Britain that a Brexit vote would lead to dire consequences for the UK and Europe.  Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told an event at Brussels that if the UK vote Brexit it will lead to instability throughout Europe. “What really matters for NATO is, I strongly believe, a strong UK in a strong EU. It is good for both the UK and the EU but also for NATO,” Stoltenberg said on Monday.
