The EU is the new Utopia and like all Utopias can never work.
Douglas Dale's comments that there has been no war in Europe for 60 years: so when did Yugoslavia stop being a part of Europe?
The main cause for peace elsewhere on the Continent over the last 60 years was the collective fear of the West being attacked by the USSR, hence the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and has nothing to do with the EU.
It is another myth Europhiles like to band around that without the European Union, Europe will be torn apart by countless wars. Total rubbish. Are Turkey, Malta, and Ukraine mad to want to join the EU?
No, of course not, because they will certainly get far more out of it then they will contribute towards it.
The Republic of Ireland receives £6 for ever £1 it contributes, so the above countries will be looking at the same level of benefits.
We in Britain are the mad ones for staying in such an organisation where for every £11 we contribute we receive back £5.
I would like to suggest that if our Europhiles' personal banks were to do the same with their savings, we would very quickly have no Europhiles

.

Go read the whole letter from D Wood. An excellent disection of the rubbish that the EU as saved us from wars!
