I have no idea how others perceive what I've posted here but I am truly sad that it had to come to this. My frustration is with the 'we know best' Eurocrats and politicians who spend far too much time listening to the haves and the elite than those pesky ordinary 'bigots' whose only value appears at election time.

The EU needs to reform and their abject failure to entertain that notion in spite of what's going on all around them is what's led to this. I find it staggering that the people of Europe have any faith in them at all but then I think of FIFA who doled out bribes to buy important votes all around the globe. The EU could and should have been a great thing if only it'd had been able to show a degree of pragmatism and done away with its fixation for homogenisation with faceless Brussels bureaucrats at the top of the tree.

I'd hoped that the very real threat to leave would focus the minds of folks like Juncker but clearly not. Cameron has rightly resigned but do you think any of those who've steered the EU into this mess and seen the EU's second largest contributor leave will have the decency to follow? Not a chance! They're never wrong after all.

That is what's wrong with the EU...
