> As one myself, that was not my intention at all. My bad. :) There's certainly been some attempts to land blame on the provinces. > 30+ years of anti-EU propaganda ... EU has pretty poor PR Quite. One of the most telling things is there has been almost no EU PR over the decades. Just the odd logo on a development or in a region receiving aid. Most governments put out ads, or leaflets from time to time. The EU should perhaps have done a little too - maybe a "your region has got £xxm in development funding" message could have registered the thought they're not all bad in a few minds. Barely anything positive to be heard from pro-EU MPs and parties.
