Right. So you were disillusioned with the UK .


I've never been frustrated by the UK, I might be disillusioned by some of the individuals in it or who re making teh laws or whatever.

I was disgusted by jimmy savellie not the UK, I was disillusioned and disgusted by those that allowed him to do what he did and those that turned a blind eye to what was happening, for me this didn't reflect on the UK as a whole but just on those individuals.


Sure I might be long before the EU arrived?
Yet want to go back to the 'old days' before it? Do you ever think before
posting?


You can't seperate these things quite as easily as you imagine.

Do we really want to go back to the days when we could trade with Europe like we did 2000 years ago, without teh need to give someone in the UK/EU extra money for doing little if anything.

Do yo want to live in an united Europe where one country alone decides to effectivley ban abortions (Poland)
