Re: Were We Ever A Member Of The EU ?? Part One.
Hi
I do not believe that the EU has it in for the UK.
We are the ones who wanted to Leave and operate on our own.
The EU are just after their own interests in any possible Trade Agreement, as we are.
Times have also changed since te Referendum.
Free Trade is longer the aim, protectionism is.
Led by the USA under Trump, who is wacking Tariffs on all and sundry to protect American Industry.
He is even doing it to Countries with which he has Free Trade Deals.
He has just done it to Canada, with tariffs on Aluminium.
Covid has also changed things, many countries have released the problems with supply chains and are seeking to bring manufacturing home.
The World Economic Situation has changed and not to our advantage.
Would I still Vote Leave?
Yes I would.
The EU is simply not for me.
It has many positive advantages, but we cannot allow a situation to develop where Merkel takes unilateral decisions to open the Borders and create a Crisis and then expect everyone else to pay for it.
I am being somewhat selfish here.
I have a much reduced lifespan and that is if I behave myself, which I shall not be doing, life is for living.
My daughter can provide for herself, she is highly intelligent and so ruthless she would scare Merkel and Putin.
Guy will have this house to live in or sell as he wishes.
Job done, out we go.
