No-one ever said that an exit from the EU would be easy.....it is better than the alternative.
We have been bamboozled.....we have money extracted from us to prop up an experimental currency exercise. We have had legislation thrown at us. All from a bunch of unelected bureaucrats who cannot be sacked, in an organisation which is rife with corruption.
Why didn't we just hand over the keys in 1939.......? Save all those wasted lives.
I'm glad my father isn't here now to see how things have panned out.
If the EU was a business( which is how it was sold to us) would you invest in it knowing that no budget has passed scrutiny for almost two decades?
It is just a good job that we were not dragged into the single currency.....the only thing we can thank Gordon Brown for.
I do not identify with Europe, or anything European.

Yup - Neil Kinnock didn't do a very good job of sorting that out did he? I remember him being interviewed quite a while afterwards and his reply when asked why he hadn't sorted out the accounts was that he'd been too busy doing other things.
Sterling is on such a different high/low circuit than that of the Euro that I think Brown would have been lynched if he'd given the death knell to our currency. What I think was unforgivable was prior to the 2005 election when Blair wasn't high in popularity; he had a blood rush during a TV interview the week beforehand and said he'd allow a Referendum.on the next Treaty when it was planned that Europe should become a State with a permanent president. Then unbelievably, after all the heads of state had signed and been photographed, Brown surreptitiously snook off and hand in hand with Milliband he too signed the Lisbon Treaty.
