Dodged the question again.

Curious however to know why you think it is flawed, especially when the actual concept of the EU was actually a Churchill/Marshall idea. In fact Churchill at one point was even suggesting the UK and France join together as a single country (Franco-British Union), however I am sure you will regard this an inconvenient truth.

That's complete tin foil hat territory. Not interested in going there. Reality always better. :)

It's still reality, even if it's reality from a few years ago. Not understanding the forces and philosophy that brought the EU into reality from the get-go is a mistake, because you won't have a clue what its ultimate destination aim is.

:rofl:

What it's become (a fixation with ever closer union, single currency, single economic policy etc and all with 28 very different member states) in my lifetime is a flawed concept but maybe before jumping to conclusions about what I may/may not consider to be inconvenient truths, you might want to have a look at the threads listed below. My numerous posts therein along with many others will give you an insight into what I (and many others here think) and why. When you've done that I'll be happy to clarify any questions you think I've dodged. ;)

IIRC Churchill did more than suggest union he actually offered it, however I don't see how it's an inconvenient truth as he didn't do it out of love for France or Europe but to keep them in WWII
