PS: Considering the ramifications of that referendum, and the ever-declining position in which it renders us, shouldn't there be a recurring referendum on say a 5 or 10 yearly basis to prevent people in the present suffering the consequences of decisions taken before their time? That is, afterall, why we have general elections (in principle at least!)
totally agree those before us thought they were doing the right thing trying to tie up europe to protect us from the spectre of the cold war, times change We should not be stuck with yesterdays generations decision.
