Sorry if I sounded shirty, I wasn’t, just needed to actually do some work! Yes appreciate it might appear to be a tangent but as I stated initially, corruption and the treatment of member states (particularly Greece and Spain) were the two main reasons I voted Leave. Specifically on...

I’ve explained in quite a lot of detail why I think the EU is more open to corruption. If you want to believe it is maybe the same as Westminster then that’s your prerogative, but corruption is rife in many countries across the EU and the way they vote for their politicians really doesn’t help...
