re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
It does make me laugh that some folks seem to cite past and current problems the UK faces as reasons to do nothing about the huge new issues affecting us. Yes we have plenty of home made problems and have made big mistakes in the past but that isn't a reason for not trying to tackle the worst effects of the problems being created for us either directly or indirectly as a result of our EU membership. If we feel our govt. isn't performing we can do something decisive about it. If we feel the EU is imposing unnecessary or unwarranted rules upon us we can do precious little as has been proved time and time again ever since we joined. I can't understand why anyone would rather be increasingly ruled by faceless suits in Brussels than by those who are directly accountable to us.
