I said that I was only in my early twenties and not really paying attention properly when we voted to join the EU which was, I think, only six countries which constituted a strong and elite trading force. |

Nothing offensive at all Sharron, you have the right to make your point as I said free speech has gone out of the window :-|. Now if I put my comments up here about the EU I would be RR'd for sure |

Of course it might not be the same EU but we are also not the same UK. |

Yes, I wasn't really paying attention at the time, believing what I read in the paper. |

I think what we joined initially was the E.E.C. "The Economic European Commumity" a group of 6? countries at that time - as has been said they did not want us then and we fought hard to get in :-( |

Rollo would say, in fact he probably has, that the back ground intent was for an 'ever closer union'. Like you, I was young and took things at face value. I voted for an economic union...free trade & all that....not a political one with common social & financial policies. |
