Why Britain Is Great

[Churchill]

We haven't left yet, and my bet is that something will happen between now and 2019 that will stop us from leaving.

The Government isn't hedging its bets, it's plotting a scheme!

Expect an aircraft ploughing into the "soon to be empty" HoP soon...

My prediction: 15 years times we will look back on the EU and think "was there ever any point"

Exactly. People will be wondering what all the fuss was about leaving. The same sad little bunch will still be moaning on here though...


Meanwhile isolated, insignificant little Britain seems to be doing ok.

Yes, it's amazing how well a country can perform at a sporting event - no politics involved. People proud to represent their nation without concern for how they voted in recent referendum(s).


It's possible to be proud to be British, no matter how you feel about the politics of it. Shame you don't get that.

I suspect that ALL of them got where they are by believing in themselves and in the training and support they received from funds supplied by either private sponsors or Lottery Funding.
How many of them won medals as a result of EU funding or involvement I wonder?

Well you could say that the conditions for success were created by the strong and stable economy we had in our 40+ years of EU/EEC membership. As you said none of these people get to that level of success without financial backing from somewhere; believing in yourself isn't enough.
