OK, the EU has its faults but surely it is better than going it alone? We are one little country, not an empire now.
That seems very defeatist.
We haven't been 'an empire' for ages. That argument doesn't hold water.
Why should we pay billions to the EU to be a part of THAT empire - one wanting to become the POLITICAL federal states of Europe?
The economies of MANY EU member states are in dire straits. Guess whose billions will be bailing out the failing euro and those little countries who take but don't give?
Yup.
What businessman would enter into a deal where his hands are tied by the bosses of the organisation, but he still has to pay a gigantic membership fee?
I am fed up with those who see the UK of only being capable and worthy as long as Juncker put us in handcuffs.
We need to leave now. Yesterday Juncker said there will be no re-negotiation, no room for amendments or UK concessions regarding Ireland/the backstop..
Doesn't that ring huge warning bells?
