#1 In a clear reference to President Jacques Chirac, of France, who had led resistance

Chirac has never been a a leader of any Resistance. He is a Petainist and a leader of collaborationism.

#4 If you want to see what people in the UK think of all this, check out these (long) pages of comments from the BBC website. I thought the BBC would doctor the comments to be more pro-EU, but the number of anti-EU comments is staggering! - and very pleasing for someone like me who is very anti-EU ;)

Also, one commenter had a good idea -

The more I learn about the inequity of the EU, the more I wonder why any country would want to join. Hey guys, come on over to the "dark side", how about a Canada-UK-US-Australian trading block?

Roy, USA

I totally agree Roy! ;)

#6 Well, just re-iterating the meme that there are alternatives to the 'inevitable creation of a European superstate' is a start!

Didn't Dr Rice say that the EU was a good idea? That certainly got them very confused! (great reverse psychology there, an American said it so it must be wrong, no wait, didn't she say the EU was a good idea?)

I don't think the US will offer the UK entry to NAFTA whilst we're still in the EU, but if we were out of it...oh, and don't believe the hype about this being the Chinese century.
