The thing is, Harold Wilson realised in the 1960's that Britain could no longer go it alone any more. IMHO, he was/is right. Colonialism was knackered, the EEC was the ideal replacement in the face of advances of the rising sun
Agreed, the EEC which the people voted for in a referendum, not political union.

Semantics, the EEC was the only entity voted for in a referendum before last week. It will only take an act of parliament to leave, article 50 is a con doing it under the terms of the EU.

Stuff and bloody nonsense.
Do you know how many young people in my country can afford to just sod off and go abroad to work?

Behave, that was never the understanding in the 70's so why are you making out it was a clear and honest deal worthy of defending now?

Rubbish, other countries aren't laughing, in fact they are more likely to follow our lead now.
Nigel Farage has been standing up in the EU Parliament against the Lisbon Treaty ever since Gordon Brown signed it in 2010 without giving us a referendum. Farage has fought long and hard, been jeered at by idiots and now we have had the referendum denied to us before. He deserves some respect.

Yeah I've looked it up and would be happy with the EEC back then not the political union which is the EU.
It is why I voted leave.

Our pre-existing law, as you quoted from your post there, trumps and makes INVALID our membership of the EU as it stands today.

If his signature on the document was an act of treason, and fraudulent in that he had no authority to sign without the prior consent of the people, that invalidates our membership.
It is impossible to consider any kind of contract valid, when signatory to it is a violation of the law.
