Putin didn't need to use fake propaganda to persuade a majority of British people to vote for Brexit.
That's highly demeaning to the Brits who voted leave.
There are more EU workers in Britain than anywhere else in Europe. Something like a million Poles came to live and seek work in the UK overnight (they couldn't go to Germany because the oh so tolerant Germans had placed a five year 'transition' period on the new EU states). I come from a small industrial town in the UK which has suffered a lot of unemployment for decades. From what I'm told, all the employment agencies in that town are now mafias run by Poles who only give jobs to Poles. You go to certain coffee shop chains in British towns and every single barrista, as well as the manager, is Spanish (or in some towns Italian, or in some Czech etc). Do no young English people ever apply for a job in these places?
Britain fought in two world wars to prevent Europe being dominated by Germany, countless wars to prevent it being dominated by France, it's hardly surprising that there is/was some resistance to the UK being run from Paris or Berlin by faceless French and German pen pushers.
The EU is a protection racket, where countries fear the consequences of leaving/not joining, rather than joining because of any true value that the EU brings to Europe.
I can understand why Germany, with its awful history, is so keen on the EU. Germany can basically run Europe, as it has always wanted to, and under the name of Europe. It can virtue signal on the world stage by taking in millions of Third World immigrants with no clue how to ever integrate them peacefully into German secular society, then use EU rules to dump them across Europe - something that will only lead to nation states being further weakened. Instead of having to export its goods through the high value Deutschmark, it can can do so via the Euro, which is massively devalued in Germany and overvalued in Southern Europe.
But it's funny, now that EU immigration policies and resulting unemployment and Islamic terrorism is leading to a resurgence of right-wing populist parties all over Europe, it looks like the EU parliament might eventually become dominated not by globalist liberal progressives, but real right wing or even fascist parties. I wonder if the same people who ardently support the EU superstate now will do so then?
