Sorry, but I’m afraid I cannot subscribe to this point of view.
Yes, the EU is very favorable to big business, maybe. However, how are we supposed to know when the alternative, a Free Trade Zone, might have been, an arrangement which many would have preferred, was never instituted?
And another matter: in 1989, the Euro was forced upon us by the French, whose president Mitterand threatened to attack us, he even announced a rerun of the Triple Entente if we didn’t comply?
With “friends” like these, who needs enemies? :lol:
Mitterand was a chihuahua. That’s not how it went down, as far as I could see. The British would have looked at him like something that crawled from under a rock. The Americans (GHW Bush) would have looked at him down that Bush nose and commented on the canapés.
