>> And why on earth should we have to compromise our >> traditions and sovereignty in order to live effectively >> with our neighbours? What a load of garbage and claptrap. I think it is normal for neighbours to compromise to live together in peace and harmony. Do you remember what Northern Ireland was like before they realised that a little bit of compromise was all that was needed to finally end years of strife? I dare say there are conservatives (small c) all over the europe who complain that the EU has ruined some of their traditions. I was working in Poland and some locals were incensed that they had to rein in their open hostiliy to gays because of the EU. Compromise the is price we pay for getting along together. Is that garbage and claptrap? I don't think so. |
