The EU has contributed absolutely nothing towards peace in Europe.
Britain’s economy will become stronger with Britain in full control of it.
Polluted rivers and beaches! As if – of course it is in our own interests to keep our rivers and beaches clean.
While in the EU more and more laws from the EU have been implemented here, often against our interests. Of course we would lose all sovereignty as the EU moves towards its United States of Europe goal.
Meanwhile the left still sees this failing, crumbling, corrupt, artificial state as some shining paragon of ‘progress’ with all its problems and contradictions all the fault of the wicked British politicians.

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Can you name the laws that are against our interests?

Again you see the left as an analogous blob. It is not. You are going to lose credibility in my eyes if you continue this tripe.
As for the bit in bold, is that based on fact, an opinion or just plain rabble rousing?

Perhaps the caveat 'I think that' might make it seem less like you were proclaiming it!

Can you tell other hol'ers out there what laws you were on about earlier? I bet they are dying to know.

Better than being called a loon by a bonkers reactionary xenophobe from Tonbridge Wells,perhaps?

generic stereotyping, old chap...thought you were in favour of that kind of thing from reading your posts

Yes, exactly, what laws? I run a business that operates within the EU, across several countries. It's successful and having the Euro makes it much, much easier to plan, take on staff and manage the finances without worrying about currency fluctuations which can seriously impact a small company like ours. To be able to employ someone from Germany and have them working in another EU country next week is fantastic, no paper work, no work permits etc. That means they are living and spending money in another country next week contributing to that economy. Freedom of movement of people is THE key to a successful EU economy. Sure there will be a minority who will abuse that as in any kind of population management scenario. Those against the freedom of movement of people only focus on the very small minority who abuse the system and not the majority who make major contributions to the individual EU economies in general.

There are so many opportunities for work and making a better life across Europe. The fact that there are those who can't be bothered to take advantage of those opportunities and become jealous of those who do is symptomatic of a country like the UK. I lived there for decades and experienced so much negativity when someone made the effort to improve their lives that it was one of the key reasons I moved away.
