Jump To Comment: 1 2Some good points there particulary the one about:
A great sway of the people of this nation were now under the illusion that the corporate attention bestowed upon us, and the money that flowed from Europe, had no strings attached because THEY liked us
This was such a consistent feature theme a few years back and it ran as follows. Europe is great; they have done so much for us and given us so much. It also so clearer now.
It has also been stated before that when we joined the EEC back in 1973 we had to give up our fishing rights and allow other EU members to fish in our waters. It has been estimated that the total value of fish exceeded 44 billion euro which exceeds what we got in return from the EU in 'handouts'. The fisheries of course should be added to the list of resources above.
..like banks, dont do friendship..they do interests, vested.
The friendly bit is just another luvin spoonful of PR sugar to send the medicine down the electoral throat.
Anyone who read the history of the original Act of Union(which also took two votes to get the 'correct' result)knows how it was stroked home.
Thats why history as a school subject has been downgraded over the last few decades. Its easier to revisionise when you have blank slates.
