will you include how interesting the world cup and euro internationals are when we are all competing as Team EU

More interesting than the alternative tournament with England and Australia, US, China and India.

The very fact this table has been compiled is reason enough to leave!

Put simply we have been propping the EU up in every way for far too long. Get out quickly.

I think we may get disqualified. There's a limit on how many athletes each team can enter per event, and we've obliterated it.
That's a very good point, the 'EU' has entered far more athletes than permitted. How many medal chances did it have have?

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. Taking a few facts and totally misrepresenting them to make themselves look successful is standard EU practise.

Can someone re-jig that table to show UK separate to the EU as this would be a far better view of the truth - UK out of Europe.
I'f like to see just how close we got to beating all of Europe all on our own.

An alternative to the EU medal table shows GB and the commonwealth doing rather better:
