    [Politics] Cost of Living Crisis

    If you had said anything like your second paragraph in your previous post, I would have had some agreement. Your first paragraph is still utter nonsense though, if you look at the competition for British and European agricultural product, almost all of it is subsidised, and/or produced at lower...

    [Politics] Cost of Living Crisis

    I had already admitted it has its failings, but it is not a black and white issue.

    Any Treaty, or trade deal any sovereign nation signs, limits it's ability to change certain laws or practices for itself without some sort of penalty. The treaties signed up to on joining the EU go further than most, but the benefits massively outweigh all others. EU rules on VAT, are evolving...

    [Politics] Cost of Living Crisis

    The Nationalism that seems to be important to you, was a large part of the problem at the heart of Nazi Germany. Try letting go of the belief that having to deal with an EU official that happens to be German, and getting what you wanted, is somehow worse than dealing with a Polish born EU...
