Rachael's report - "could do better"

I blame Blair for the skills shortage 100%

He focused on degrees and nothing else. 1997 is 28 years ago and just imagine if trades had been promoted for all these years

"Education, education, education". I think he was hinting at a three day week.

The 'superstate' idea is but a false claim of those who harbour anti EU ideologies...

The fact is that all nations in the EU are and have always been sovereign states...

States that can/could opt out of measures they disagree with as the UK did many times...

And after all if the UK was simply part of a 'superstate', how could it have had a referendum to 'leave'?

Did the EU dictate foreign policy to the UK? - No.
Did the EU control UK finances? - No.
Did the EU dictate domestic political affairs? - No.

Problem is too many people were swept up by the anti foreigner rhetoric, claiming that all their problems were nothing to do with home grown policies...

Thus they never bothered to check out the facts and went along with the lies that they found convenient...

Brexiteers are of course still at it, and continue to deny the immense detrimental effect that their vote has had on the UK both economically and socially!

You are completely wrong.

UK is not free to do those things.

You of course ignore the efforts of John Major, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, who all signed treaties turning the EU from a trading cooperative to a superstate. It's unlikely we'd even have had a referendum, had these leaders taken time to consider the impact on the UK of their deals.

Brexit was a Tory project.

I’m not interested in your whining whataboutery.
