8. The bankers did not get bailed out before the EU
9. The Gold reserves were not sold off to Pound land before the EU
10. The privatisation of anything that wasn't nailed down didn't start until after joining the EU
11. The distribution of wealth, always obscenely biased, has gone of the scale
12. Youth unemployment is now, and has been for some time following the euro model, where is their future after 40 years of Brussels ?
13. Trade with Europe was plentiful
14. Trade with other parts of the world not subjected to a Brussels rule
During this period of British erosion we are judged to be the best performing economy within the EU, does it not make you wonder how bad it is for many in the other countries of the EU Superstate?
During this period I have been through Labour and Tory governments who both have sat back and allowed
Brussels to suck cash, veto laws, introduce their laws and whilst you casually side line it all against
Tory and labour Governments, there is a common denominator and that is Brussels.
I remember the winter of discontent and much of the bad shite, it wasn't a bed of roses, but they were days that
you knocked your neighbours door and if they had 1/2 a bag of sugar and you had none, you were given some.
The EU aided by Tory and Labour governments have changed peoples mindsets into a more more more society,
2nd holiday, 2nd car, Joe Bloggs owning 5 houses to rent, debt is good, have to be a shareholder, etc. etc.
