Yes I watched and it was just as biased as the right wing press
Out of interest, what part of it was factually incorrect?

All of it, it was the principle and the original set up that was described, that is no longer reality, the tail now wags the dog. The nations now just rubber stamp the commission as it slowly morphs into a Gov and takes over. That is their aim, they were originally a civil service, then the political whim of USofE took over, and then we got the waste of time of the Parliament and the EU elections so that really inflated them, now they behave like a government not a civil service. Can you imagine if our civil service did this, the rules here dictate that can never happen, and convention keeps them out of the limelight. The whole purpose now of the commission and it desire is to be the Gov running Europe. It will fail, and that process is part of the reason for Brexit.

Well, if that is the case, then is that not the fault of the nations including ours?

Not us, we have opposed it all along, which is why we want out now. But we were just one voice among many. Remember who tried to stop the power being given to Barnier and Junckers, and even their election.

In a situation when you are always voted down what is the point of voting. That was us in the EU.

because we have the mentality of an island nation
On one hand we say Britain is not part of Europe, and in the same breath say that Ireland is part of England.
Europe and the EU are two different things.

As far as I'm concerned being in the EU doesn't need to be perfect, or even very good.
It just needs to be preferable to not being in the EU.

The problem is, nobody knows if the U.K. will be better in or out....
Once you are out, I can’t you being let back in.
