We are debating in this theead the release of the UK from the EU. Some might say that Brexit avoids a tainted future. I say that the way the EU is heading is anti-demicratic and we would be well off being outside their structures.

It isn’t obvious, and the fact you can’t present a single example indicates you may be exaggerating.
I’m not sure all of the colonies feel like our involvement benefited them to the degree you do. We continue to this day to engage in warfare, directly and indirectly, for our own financial interests. I’m sure the people of Yemen appreciate the manufacturing quality, and of course the British spirit of fair play, as the Saudis drop our bombs on them.
Europe has an embarrassing and tragic history, of which nobody can be proud. To claim we are somehow exempt from this is historical revisionism in the extreme.
Indeed, our “justice” didn’t extend to our closest neighbour in the crimes committed in Ireland. The UK government have been complicit in the murder of civilians and journalists - so do not dare suggest we are untainted by modern history as the evidence suggests otherwise.

There’s the date of the no confidence vote (if required).
