The crumbling of the EU empire

To elite Remainers in Britain, the EU is a beacon of economic dynamism, political stability and liberal-democratic values – and Brexit is the worst thing that ever happened. Prime minister Keir Starmer similarly sees cosying up to Brussels as the solution to the UK’s woes. Yet over on the continent, even the most ardent Europhiles are waking up to the EU’s catastrophic failures and dysfunctions. Top EU technocrats warn of decades of stagnation to come, while core EU member states are defying the bloc's rules on migration and asylum. Here, Fraser Myers explains how the EU’s anti-democratic diktats are putting Europe on the path to ruin – and why Britons were so wise to vote to leave this crumbling empire.

the EU has been an absolute disaster for Europe

[ancietman]

The EU is the biggest gravy train in Europe Starmer wants back in so he does not miss out on freebies.

[jamesmcdowell]

Just got back from a business trip to Brussels.. if you ever want to see the disintegration of western culture, go there.

£15 Million a Day On Illegal Migrants.

[davidsummer]

I'm a UK citizen who has lived within the EU for nearly two decades and I can now see that the issue of illegal immigration has the potential to bring down the EU

[integinteg]

Was amazed at how many people completely despise that woman

The EU has been dying a slow death since the introduction of the Euro, the political and not economic currency. The Germans have claims on the other eurozone countries of €1.075 trillion, that just shows how out of balance the eurozone is. Add in the green energy nonsense, Nord Stream destruction and Europe is uncompetitive, and the blame lies with Brussels. Fundamental changes never happen because the bureaucracy is sclerotic.

No WE DO NOT need to be a part of the EU - if Starmer tries to take us back into the EU he'll probably have his own 'Winter of Discontent'.

[maxbants]

It's not an empire. Empires have emperors.
It's more like... a cabal...

[thomasoroarke]

The EU is too regulated, its too expensive to do business and its become uncompetitive .The bureaucrats have far too much control on member states and I am from Ireland .

[busgreaser]

Worst thing that ever happened to Europe and Britain.

[redraven]

Technology: Robots will make 50% of Europeans redundant by 2030.

EU: We must import more workers from massively different cultures!

[hholton]

Out of 500 million EU citizens only 402 (MEP's) voted EU President Von der Leyen into power.

[baitclicker]

So, the European population are beginning to resent their mandatory inclusion in Greater Germany? Who's have thought.

[NeraBuffy]

Look at the streets of Brussels, it's no longer European itself.

[matthewharding-ewts]

Germany economy goes kaput then say good bye to the EU.

[midgemagoo]

The more people that are in government, any government, the worse their policies will be for their people.

[ColinGarner-ht]

I’m astonished the EU is still going .

[torturedsoul]

Their woke logic is going to blow up in their faces.

[Slumbert]

Don't call them populists unless you also call the others globopopulists.
