Not just that but Europe as a whole is richer than when it was just individual countries. Greece, Spain and Italy have had to improve their systems and standards of employment and industry and law to do it which is a good thing and so will the east European countries in time.
Meanwhile it's still apparently OK for companies like Primark and Benetton and others to export misery and take advantage of non existent labour protection in Bangladesh and other Asian countries to make clothes on the cheap using women and children with no health and safety or minimum wage protection.
I know which system I prefer.

Or indeed Mr Dyson who now manufactures in Malaysia and only hates the EU because they want more efficient vacuum cleaners and not just more powerful ones. This from the man who signed a document to try to get us to join the Euro...
Our new vacuum cleaner is a Dyson (OH chose it) and I hate it - no more powerful than the old Miele, a pig to empty and gets blocked because of the narrow gap between the sucking hose and the muck receptacle. I have now repaired the Miele (German built motor in Chinese body apparently) to use upstairs in my sewing attic and OH gets to do all the rest of the house.
I'm saving up to buy an EU built robot and the Dyson will be kept for cleaning the cars and garage.
EU jobs and companies first choice for me.

I took great glee in telling the three different lots of Politian's that turned up on my doorstep over the weekend to take a long walk off a short pier (except the UKIP lot, that I told to do the same but with some eloquent anglo-saxon wordings!)
wouldn't care they're stealing my thunder as I get married on the 24th! and the darn referendum is all my family and friends want to talk about!
Well I've already voted by post to stay in and am studiously avoiding the endless debates on TV and radio - at least I'm trying to. We're only having a referendum because Cameron had to promise we would so the Tories could win the election before his party fell apart. The Advertising Standards Agency doesn't cover politics (to do with free speech) so all sides can say exactly what they like without fear of penalty. Thank goodness it's nearly over.
Only 10 days to go then it will be all over bar the shouting,, The 'Don't knows seem to now say they will vote leave... The biggest swing is due to DC... People never take kindly to being talked down to and threatened and that is the actions of a desperate man....
TBH I willbe glad when its all over so that we can move on with our lives, not to mention our gardens..

I wonder if Boris will return to being an almost normal human being when it's all over. That's strange, my font has decided to become tiny.
DE. don't worry about the tiny font, as you can see, it sorts itself out when posted.
Another "improvement" since the update.
