but I embrace the concept of a unified Europe.

Well good luck with that.

Various people have embraced this in the past, all failed every time.
See, it boils down to someone saying that we'll all be unified and
happy if everyone does it *my* way.

Which, of course, was never the EU way. But then the anti-EU brigade
bleat about bureaucracy. Which is a fact of life in any democracy.

And the peoples all reply, no
thanks, we're happy as we are.

Ah - right. So never any internal strife?

Then the contender tries again, this
time with tanks and bullets, whereupon the peoples all tell him to ****
off and get out their own tanks and bullets.

As was said, the village mentality. The need for an enemy. The High School
against the Grammar School. And so on.

The evil capitalists against the oppressed workers.
