Super quick today. I've just watched a short clip of Tony Blair arguing that we need to be a part of the EU to protect ourselves (a medium sized country) from India, China, the USA and other larger Orwellian landmass based political entities. It's funny how the pro-Brexit side are constantly being labelled regressive and xenophobic. Or even outright racist. Yet the remain side can speak about the European nations against "foreign" powers so casually without criticism or inspection.
China, yes, is a threat, but India and the USA. Two great democracies. What reason do we have to think we're going to be at loggerheads with these two fine nations in the coming decades? It's incredibly negative talk, and I would wager quite insincere talk too.
As for China it seems the EU is already very cosy indeed. As is Switzerland.
