What has the EU ever done for us ?



EDIT : Although where they get "70 years" from I don't know. The EU was officially created in 1993, although the EEC was born in 1958. That's still not even 60 years.
One might however say that the idea of European union with a lowercase u has been important for 70 years.

Found on the internet.

    The statement as is is, of course, wrong, but the 70 years are probably 70 years of peace after WW2.

    Further ad hominem attacks, this time prophylactic, like a condom: "Whoever disagrees with me is a mentally retarded bigot, period."

    Umm, no.

    "A raving bigot has yet to show up" in no way whatsoever implies that "whoever shows up and criticises this is a raving bigot".

    There are perhaps two good reasons to leave, one, to keep our own currency, and two, to save on the membership fees. But we already have our own currency and can print money/sell bonds at our leisure so can easily afford the membership fees. Obviously we must stay 'in' Europe, if not for the above reasons then because of this: https://youtu.be/lScVfwe-Rp0
