Agree. I personally think Labour blew it, big time. But: the lies that got us out of the EU were pretty unstoppable. Selling an out message on the back of sensationalist, shock messages was an easy PR hit.
We'll see. Personally, I'll always feel and be European. I reckon we'll be back.
- Veen 6y agoIt's perfectly consistent to feel European and also feel that EU membership is not a net positive for the UK. Being pro-Brexit does not make one less of a European.
- dmje 6y agoUm. Finding it hard to parse this..?
- vimy 6y agoThe European identity is not tied to the European union but to a shared culture and history. Or are Swiss and Norse people also not European?
- Arnt 6y agoThe EU vote in Norway almost 30 years ago was very, very different from the British Brexit affair. Luckily for us Norwegians, we didn't suffer from anyone like Mark Francois, for example. Of course you could say that Brexit has nothing to do with British culture.
- vimy 6y agoThe point is that European culture is not linked to the European Union.
- austinjp 6y agoI'd say they're linked insofar as the European Union was created by and continues to evolve through European culture.
- monoideism 6y ago> The EU vote in Norway almost 30 years ago was very, very different from the British Brexit affair It was driven by the same core concerns about national sovereignty.
- Arnt 6y agoYes, but expressed in culturally different way. As I wrote, no Mark Francois for us. He's an important politician due to the peculiar British current political culture. EDIT: I meant "peculiarly British", but I haven't the heart to edit that typo.
