How dare you Urmstongran. I am prepared to believe you are no less patriotic than me, that you are just, by nature and nurture, a little Englander. How dare you suggest that those who believe the ties our parliament and country has made through our membership of the EU, in getting world wide trading deals, the best possible frictionless trading deals with our nearest and largest market, scientific and security agreements, etc., etc., make us any less patriotic.
This comic book idea, that we might expect from children, that this country was some how forced into an agreement we actually chose grows more ridiculous every day. We chose it. We take an equal part in running it and the idea that you are fighting a patriotic fight is simply pathetic. Put down the toy cape and mask for heaven's sake and start using the language of an adult.
