The reasons for hating the EU, are completely justified. As I pointed out a few days ago, only 10 Countries pay more in to it than they get out of it and we are one of them, while 18 other Countries, we piggyback and they get more out of it than they put in. It's an unbalanced, economic disaster waiting to happen.

It doesn't matter how many time you explain why we want our of the EU and that it's not to do with hating Europe at all. Some people just refuse to accept it and then use that as their reasoning to bang on ad nauseam about how xenophobic Brexiteers hate Europe. I'm on the record as saying I love Europe and wish the EU could have been different (i.e. a true collaboration of friendly states as opposed to a single state with a single currency and economic policy etc.) but it makes no difference to some folks. The EU's intransigence is the problem not the nations or peoples of Europe and they given us no choice but to leave.
