In 1993, the EU’s share of GDP on a worldwide scale was 30%.
Last I saw – it is now below 15%. Work that one out for yourself. You should see the graph!
As a former EU researcher – I cannot start to explain: the incompetence, the corruption and the waste found in this toxic body. (Westminster truly pales into insignificance by comparison – hard to accept but true.)
I had actually voted to stay in. Let me repeat. Like many, I supported the concept. When I was invited to to examine it closely, however – I was shocked to the core. My volte face was indeed based on prejudice – I despise waste, I abhor duplicity, ineptitude, expense and am none too keen on imperialism.
Sorry. I haven’t been on this site in years – it is highly improbable that I shall ever come on again.
