I mite get more stick for this but I am glad to be European I think that culturally we have more to gain. Britain for generations has thought that it is above what goes on in the rest of the world. We do not have the clout or power that we used to have and in some ceases become a laughing stock to the rest of Europe. Been above what is going on.
In real terms we should have had a referendum as it is dangerous for choices to be made for issues relating to what goes on in the U.K to be taken away from the choice of the population.
In the Case of Europe though a lot of British people with blinkered and in some cases racist and views want to keep indapenant. I don’t like Brown or Blair for what they have done for the U.K with primitive and backwards thinking politics taken from old values that are now out of date with the new digital world we are living in. There are a lot of learning curves to be made and at the moment they seem to be getting things very wrong, and in the process creating wars in order too bring back control. God forbid Blair being the new president. It’s an hard one and comes across as contradictory.
