Oh God, here we go again. Where on earth do you get your news from, our fellow EU members have bent over backwards to give the UK opt outs, rebates and preferential treatment. Just because whatever media you consume leaves you misinformed, doesn't make it reality.
Yes, we won a few minor reforms but others were firmly rejected. And nothing of major importance changed.
Anyway, my comment didn't refer to that. It referred to the language of the EU even when Cameron was seeking reforms. Since 2015 we've been belittled, insulted and generally treated like sh-t. Granted, they've had to listen to UKIP in the EP and watch our ludicrous Parliament, but their tone was clear even before the referendum. We are the rich, disliked but grudgingly tolerated, unsophisticated and uncouth cousins of 'true' Europe.
You should watch 'Paxman in Brussels' (it's on Youtube). It wasn't the decider for me by far, but it shone a stark light on a few truths.
And I'll try again, albeit with a short timespan: where do you see the EU in 30 years? Bearing in mind the ultimate goals of it's earliest founders...
