because otherwise they will cry forever how it was the EUs fault they couldn't leave, even though voting a hundred times in their own parliament never brought a majority for anything. But just like with all the other crap - blaming the EU is much easier.

and just two things in regards to the other points you made:

it was the UK government that allowed Poles, Czechs etc to migrate immediately after they joined the EU, other countries (like Germany) restricted it
Do you see how politicians fuck things up? So why give Brussels all the power to fuck things up even more.

Once again - UK politicians are to blame, not the EU.
So Britain is to blame for the enlargement of the EU.

And in regards to the housing market:

If you let Russians, Chinese and Arabs buy themselves into your country and help them to hide their money which then drives up property prices - how is this the fault of the EU and not your own governments fault?
The houses those poeple buy aren't the ones most migrants want.

There is plenty of crap that the EU is to blame for but I would prefer we concentrate on that and try to solve it.

But you can't solve things on EU level that do not fall under EU competency.

And yet that is exactly what people like Markham think (have been made to think) - that they are powerless under EU rule.

Which is nonsense once you look closer.
There;s no resolving it unless the people vote in politicians prepared to do that. Ever since day one the Common Market had a plan to unite Europe and nothing will stop them.

So what has the EU achieved that other countries are incapable of?
