That's a blinkered way of putting it. The EU is failing Andrew, it consists of countries that are not paying their fair share, some of them have required bail out after bail out and it was being said Greece is looking like it will require yet another.
It is not sustainable and the trading block is not worth being part of when it cripples those countries who should be able to trade with who they like, when they like, sorry but I don't want to be part of a corrupted system that dictates like that so I'm glad we leaving that nonsense and we can do what the hell we like, instead of being told what to do by unelected set of pricks.
