I’m sorry Paul, but I’m Geordie, British, English and I don’t feel my identity or independence has been surrendered to Brussels. I think you are over reacting. I don’t think one day has passed by when I have even given Brussels one thought. Maybe it’s just me. If that angers people, I’m sorry, but I can only speak from my own experience and the experience of people I know.
I don’t think this country is a radical mess either. I really like living in the UK. I don’t know enough about the financing of the EU to comment on what gets spent on it or what we get in return, but perhaps you don’t know a lot about it either. The radical change you are suggesting sounds a bit suspect, I can’t help but think that if you love the UK as much as you seem to, why can’t you see how lucky we are to actually be here?
However, I agree that the recession can’t be blamed on the government as the Tory government would have resulted in the same situation. The difference between Labour and the Tories, is that Labour won’t bring in instant cuts to kick people when they’re down (or just starting to recover). I’m no expert in economics, but drastic spending cuts as planned by George Osborne, when the country is barely out of recession seems a recipe for disaster.
