I\u2019m sick to death of the invented word \u201cbrexit\u201d. It\u2019s been leapt upon by the ignorant nationalists in this country who haven\u2019t got a clue what leaving he EU would do to Britain. This comment at the bottom of a BBC article<\/a> is a perfect example:<\/p>\n

The UK the the WORLDS 5th Largest economy.
\nI think we can stand on our own two feet thank you Dave…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This guy is clearly unable to even consider a likely explanation as to WHY the UK is the world\u2019s 5th largest economy, and how that position has been built during the UK\u2019s membership of the EU these last 40-odd years. Nor does he mention that the same source he no doubt got his information from puts the EU<\/strong> as the largest (or second largest, depending on source figures) economy in the world. Him and his kind want us to withdraw from the largest economy in the world and try to go it alone? Another ignorant individual comments:<\/p>\n

Its easier to make up your mind if you look at things from the other direction…if we were not in the EU…would we now join?….not a chance !<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Again, he is incapable of asking himself if we would be where we are now if we hadn\u2019t joined the EU. And this one sums everything up to a tee:<\/p>\n

(Remember) KEEP BRITAIN BRITISH (as the old adage once said), and lock out the terrorists and illegals – Vote out and lets all try to get back to our proud Empire past.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is what brexit is really all about. And they\u2019re all idiots.<\/p>\n

These flag-waving fossils cannot understand that economic downturns \u2013 and especially the one we experienced recently \u2013 affected everyone. They were global phenomena, and were not down to our membership of the EU. Nor can they understand that non-membership will not sort out the refugee situation \u2013 not unless we start shooting immigrants at the borders, and although some of these cretins might like the sound of that, it just isn\u2019t going to happen.<\/p>\n

Leaving the EU would be the biggest mistake in this country\u2019s history. It would push the current biggest – Cameron\u2019s pre-election pledge to allow a referendum on it just so he could get into power \u2013 into second place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
