Re: Conservatives tearing themselves apart.
I'm quite aware that there are people who believe that people like myself, who are proud of this country, proud of our democracy, proud of our history, believe that the way we look at what is happening to our lives today, we can only be looking through rose-tinted spectacles yearning back to the so-called glory days of the 50s'-60's?
If only that WAS the problem. Contrary to that belief, worries about whether I could afford that nice new Mary Quant dress, or whether that Blackpool cowboy hat would ruin my hair seemed to be the only worries I had then !
Without wanting in anyway to seem rude, one could be just as condescending about those who believe that the only way to remain safe and secure in this day is to tuck poor little Great Britain under the skirt folds of the mighty EU in order for us to survive.
Of course, the IN brigade have already conceded without our consent, our porous borders, most government policies, (they are after all, basically now just a sub office obeying slavishly ever diktat issued by the EU machine), our armed services will be next, they already have our agriculture and fisheries, and eventually, the final nail in the coffin - will be our economy if we vote to stay in - regardless of CMD's weasel words, you name it, it will no longer belong to the British people. If some are happy to see this happening, Euro's to them.
No, if one wants to think of times past, take me back to the 40's please when men and women fought and died to preserve the freedom's so easily being given away without a murmur by the treacherous politicians of today in power.
When did it become so scary for some to believe that this country is unable or incapable of governing itself and it's people as it has done down throughout the centuries? Why do some people believe that we have to hold onto the skirt tails of the EU to survive? Those that do so should do well to remember that we have stood alone more than once before and we are still here. If some would have their way though, it won't be long before we become Europe's peninsular!.
Also, only a fool would say that things will be easy if we vote to come out, but god willing, we will vote to come out and survive instead of sinking into the quagmire as the EU is doing. We are certainly big enough, strong enough and ugly enough to stand on our own two feet instead of being ruled by countries that we once saved from tyranny- only for they themselves to now commit the same sin against this country and it's people.
If that means looking at things through rose tinted spectacles, I'd better order a spare pair !
