And since then the world has changed, partnerships have changed, loyalties, demographics … you name it … the world has *changed* … but it seems there are a few who think UK can go *back* to “how it was”

“How it was” is just that - was.  It is in the past and UK can either keep up or get left behind.  As it is, with Sunak now planning to pull out of the Climate change deal that was signed in 2019, UKs reputation on the world stage is well and truly trashed anyway so tbe world stage ...

...is not so surprised at UK trying to peer dimly through rose tinted spectacles at the “halcyon” days of pre EEC - THAT is as delusional as trying to form a trading pact with countries thousands of kilometres away whilst ignoring your closest neighbour.

It is ridiculous and is nothing more than good old exceptionalism, thinking that because UK is UK, the rest of the world owes it something.

It doesn’t. And all those who believe UK can “go back” to pre EEC times when the rest of the world is moving forward are setting themselves up for the most massive of disappointments  

Egads Dario let’s just take another swipe at the U.K. I get it, you are anti U.K. and anti Brexit, your choice and your opinion.  We will never know how the U.K. would have fared had it not been for the huge WW1 and WW2 war debts it ran up defending the rest of Europe against Germany ( twice) or had it not been conned, by the liar Ted Heath’ into joining the EEC.  I was old enough to have voted, and voted to join the EEC ( the Common Market) but would most certainly not have voted to join a federal Europe.  In passing I guess you will be blaming the German recession on Brexit in due course?
