The Queen is but a figurehead technically, but in reality, she remains a major influence on many of the British. The little I know about the Brexit situation, I tend to agree with her. The EU is not working out, culturally or economically. Just take a peek at Italy, Greece and most of all, Germany. Turkey is not a very good potential partner either, and their relationship to the whole of Europe becomes more ominous by the day.
EU is so fractured that they may not be able to resist. Which would mean the end of Europe even sooner.
I’ve lived around Germany for twenty-odd years and observed the EU gimmick.
First, it has been a blessing on border crossing. On a Sunday evening returning from some other country....you used to wait 30 to 60 minutes to get up and have your passport reviewed. Now, you are driving 100 mph through the border point (well, at least in Germany).
Second, this money deal is another blessing. I don’t have to keep jars of French money, Dutch money, Swiss money, Spanish money, etc.
Third, truckers criss-cross Europe now and deliver products without any restrictions.
But, the crowd in Brussels got around to literally hundreds of little things to force various countries into a stance.
If you went to a Greek restaurant in Germany....there were these containers with a cork, and various olive oils for your food. The EU decided that they wanted to force a standardized bottle system (no cork) and you’d have to have these mini-containers around to dispense the olive oil for your foods. It was opening up this vast gimmick of specialized bottles and someone was going to make a ton of money over something that was stupid. Somehow, they stopped that idea.
The real problem is that these guys at the EU...probably ought to be limited there for sixty days out of the year...forcing them to go home and avoid lots of stupid legislation.
