Exactly and unless we come out of the EU, things like our own army and foreign policy will be things of the distant past. There is already a covert policy within the EU for a central EU army, of course commanded by the Germans no doubt, and we will not even be allowed to invite the POTUS or the queen of Sheba for afternoon tea without the EU nod of agreement. The moaners constantly try to deflect the Brexit debate into one narrow subject, the one that no one can predict anyway, the economy. It was and is more than just that, it is British Sovereignty and independence from all despots, whether a collective or a dictatorial one. If Britain is such a bad place to be, the EU still exists, for now, for all the worshippers of it to inhabit.
