The leech of Europe
What on earth is the point? We don’t use the same currency, we don’t really get involved with them much, we have feuds with half the countries and we’re not even physically linked! (Well, other than the channel tunnel, anyway. Not naturally.)
N.B.:- this is another one of those “ideas” posts which aren’t in any way sourced any are based only upon my general impression of things. AKA:- likely to be rather naïve, unrealistic and just plain wrong!
Apparently the big reason for us being in the EU was (note “was”, not “is”) that it was apparently far easier to do stock market trading if we were all part of one “thing”. Now, of course, it’s not quite like that any more. Today, truly international trade is commonplace and really, it’s pretty easy. Money, shares, etc. are all done digitally these days and it’s not a big deal to do trade across to the other side of the world.
Additionally, other than the odd couple of countries which are doing fine, the majority of Europe are crashing and dying. Their economies are collapsing and the countries who aren’t doing too badly (Germany and us) are pumping huge, crazy, ridiculous amounts of money into them, trying to restabilise them. Unfortunately, they’re run by complete idiots who then go and bankrupt them again almost immediately.
My opinion? Well, I think we should just ditch them. We aren’t going to lose our trading links - they can be redone in a matter of days (very, very big assumption, but I’m pretty sure). We finally won’t be connected in any way with the French (hehe. I don’t actually mind them too much, but love the stereotypes). Our economy (I think) would probably be more stable if we haven’t got “the leech of Europe” on us all the time.
