You conveniently omit the culpability/failures of successive British governments while having a 'real go' at the nasty EU. The current negotiations have clearly just given you another to have a 'pop' at the EU!!!! Another Little Englander mentality - don't disguise it FFS!! What about the poor role and preparation of your own British/predominantly English govt again!!!?? Conveniently omitted AGAIN!! You're reading too many shit tabloids like the Daily Mail and others that have 'waged war' against the EU for the past 20-30 years while ignoring the main offenders within our own shores - poor-performing British f###### governments! If you dinne wanna be labeled a 'Little Englander' then stop preaching the same pish from Farage's lying reference manual of deceptions!!
I haven't made any kind of comment about "getting our country back", and nor would I. You might disagree with my posts on this thread, but have a good long re-read before getting back to me on those labels.
