Edited by Stirlingsays (21 Dec 2015 10.28am) To be fair we were lied to in 1975 which led to us joining the EU. Back then the EU was referred to as the "Common Market" and was presented as a trading club between the richer northern countries of Europe. If any of us were told it was going to be a political union (or federal state) with us subsidising the smaller countries and being made to adhere to unworkable laws dictated from undemocratically-elected bureaucrats in Brussels.... none of us would have voted for it. The UK was a much different place back in 1975. For me it hasn't changed for the better.

Brussels are the 'Head Office' and we are purely 'a branch'. We voted for it, don't you remember Dave going there with his begging bowl should tell everyone all they need to know. Time to move forward together.

The UK was a much different place back in 1975. For me it hasn't changed for the better. Of course we were lied to - by both sides. But we held a mock election at Balgowan Primary School in Beckenham . The 'no' candidate, who was all of 11 years old, stood on a platform that this was the thin end of the wedge of a federal Europe. So let's not re-write history and say that the F word did not exist pre-Maastricht. Federalism was already an issue in 1975, at least at primary school level. We still voted in favour, by the way.

That is mainly to do with that the free (pan-European) market is allowing corporations to profit at the expense of the average worker. Which is true, to some extent. The Blairite neo-liberals you can say that about. But the socialists, not so much.
