The EU is fine so long as they get all their own way, but if you want
just one example of the velvet glove on iron hand, look at the way that
Greece was crushed. Encouraged to join, knowing full well their finances
were not valid, EU played hard ball, private savings stolen, with Greece
now owned by German banks. Not a shot fired, strange isn't it ?. Don't
trust them an inch, competitors, not friends.

Anyway, the agreements were just that, with an exit clause if found
not to be working, as in the NI issue. For better or worse, our
parliament should have the last word on all issues that cannot be
successfully negotiated...
