The bottom line with the EU was that it was set up to foster economic interdependancy so that we stopped fighting each other. In that it has been singularly successful.
My take on it is that if I have to pay a wee bit more in tax or whatever and it stops my son dying in a soggy trench then thats great with me.
Being inmy 50's I can remember how things were pre EU and there is no way whatsoever that we were better off then, than we are now. The reality is that we're in it for better or worse and pulling out isn't really a viable option. So lets just get on with it and work at making it better.
Regarding UKIP: A group of insular xenaphobic twunts IMHO. They have no realistic policies, no positive message and they almost had that dayglo orange twunt as a leader. Says all I need to know about it frankly.
