[QUOTE="stewart, post: 8154710, member: 42710"] The inference that the blue rinse brigade hanker after empire, or as mentioned in post #47 a watered down version of it, is there for many to see, the mere mention of CANZUK is a tip of the hat towards days long gone. The expansion of the EU is vastly different to the Empire building days of the past, The Brits, Spanish and Portuguese generally carried out a rape and pillage policy, with the vast resources of the countries they conquered going back to the "mother land" keeping their colonies in abject poverty, enabling the Aristocracy to look down on mere mortals with an air of superiority. This is the polar opposite to the EU who tend to financially assist those countries lower down the socio economic scale, lifting their standard of living. Perhaps that's why the blue rinse brigade object so much to the EU, after all we cannot have Jonny foreigner getting above his station in life, it would be enough to make Major Pumpfulroy splutter into his gin and tonic.
