#4 What is with this BS metaphor of "a leap into the unknown" -- as if Britain was always and forever part of Europe?

It's a divorce. Marriages sometimes fail. The separation can sometimes be traumatic for small children - like the childish hysterics who write for the British press.

But it's not some lead off a cliff. There are costs to a divorce, but the parties know this, and recognize that the benefits of separation outweigh them.

#6 The lap into the unknown was trying to force the peoples of Europe into an empire for the third time in a century.

#8 The fallacy at the heart of the idea of a united Europe stems from ignorance of the fact that European civilizations Greatest advances occurred because of European fragmentation and internal conflict. Had the Holy Roman Empire dominated all of Europe the way the Ottomans or the Byzantines dominated their territories, Europe never would have had the Renaissance, the discoveries and expansion across the globe, or Scientific Revolution or Industrial capitalism and all of the huge advances in public health, chemistry, aviation, mass communications etc.

A united Europe is a stagnant Europe.

Europe has ALWAYS advanced on the basis of competition, strife, challenges to central authority and orthodoxy.

#9 The European Union was not all that great for GB. Probably good for the "Banksters" and globalists (probably one and the same). Time to get their sense of nationalism and culture back. They, like us, had long-standing identities that were rapidly being erased.

#10 The Euro is such a metrosexual type of currency.
