I've met countless people from other EU countries. Never once has one of them complained about their loss of national identity due to being part of the EU. And these are countries where you can travel at will between without seeing a border or guard.
French, Germans, Italians, Spanish are still as different as they ever were, but as Jo Cox said, we share far more similarities.
What amuses/annoys me most is the idea, promoted no doubt, by the Mail and Sun, that the European government is somehow, "unelected", when I can distinctly remeber voting for it - and yes, I know I have memory issues...
What worries me most is the facct that the UK is in a de facto break up, with Scottish, Welsh and NI governments taking evermore internal responsibility and, because of that the tories are demanding English votes for English laws. Not, of course, because they see some unfairness but because they can already sense there will be an inbuilt tory majority in any such 'English government'.
The last thing I would ever want is eternal domination by tories in London, heaven knows we've had too much of that already over the years - in fact most of the problems laid at the door of the EU are caused by this current, not even [well, by their standards] all that right wing government, with Osborne's stupid austerity policy. JM Keynes worked out how to treat a recession over 70 years ago but seemingly this lot can't read. A bit like on the rugby field, I don't mind mistakes but stupidity annoys the excrement out of me.
For what it's worth I wish we'd been given the option of joining Scotland When they had their own vote - I'd have voted Nat for that...
