I agree with much of what is being said here but we are still looking at generalities instead of any specific examples. The common answer given by pro EU fanatics is that we have the power of veto and if we don't like a ruling, we can just veto it. I am sure our EU chums would have been our bestest friends ever if we had vetoed everything we didn''t agree with so our so called representatives just went with the flow.

Greece were fine on their own before joining the EU, their country was a tourist destination of worth, a bit basic in parts but a great place to visit and mix with the locals. Once the EU got a say in their affairs, it was all about austerity and it made the Greeks very angry.

I have friends who live in Southern Italy and the crime rate has gone through the roof in the past few years and the refugees are the main cause of problems. They say for every boat load of desperate refugees who are rescued in a blaze of humanitarian glory, there are 2 which land quietly at night and their cargoes slip quietly ashore unnoticed. It is things like this which will either undermine the whole of the EU or result in civil war.
