With respect that is narrow minded nationalism which seems to be the basis for your antipathy towards the EU.
On the contrary the EU is about a group of countries sticking their own oars in so that we can all attempt to row towards enhanced prosperity together in a collective effort. That is why there is a queue of countries who wish to join, not leave.
It is deluded nonsense to believe that the EU is 'out to get you'.
It’s the cornerstone of the Brexiteers dogma and ideology. ‘We’re a rule maker not a rule taker’ ra, ra wave the flag.
So we’re going to leave the EU’s rules (only we won’t, as everything we produce for their market will be governed by their rules), and instead we’ll trade under errrmmm WTO rules......who’s making the rules again?
It’s all just a succession of nonsense soundbites, that in reality mean nothing. We’re ruled by Brussels, we want our Sovereignty back.........only the first paragraph of the EU withdrawal bill says that Parliament has always been Sovereign. Not one of them can name an EU law they want to get rid of the moment we leave as it impinges on their actual existence. As the EU is primarily about regulatory alignment and always has been.
Now that these soundbites have been exposed, the sham idea that we’ll actually benefit from Brexit has been long since forgotten, and daily now the reality of unpicking of these regulatory alignments are being explained to people, they’ve literally got nothing left. So they’re shouting to leave, leave on any terms, just leave, yeah no deal, we’ll take it, we want what we voted for, give us the ugliest Brexit possible, we just want it, it’s ours, we ‘won’ it.
It’s become absolutely and utterly irrational, and shows the weak logic behind the thought processes of most who voted for this imo. They’re now so entrenched and can’t argue against the realities, so they just stick their fingers in their ears and pretend it’s all project fear this, pass me the shotgun I’m going to take both my legs off, rule Britannia.
