Potemkin has a point. UK politics has always suffered from a severe case of Islander mentality, if not post-empire delusions of grandeur, and has always fought tooth and nail against anything it considered "non-British" when it came to compromise on matters political or economical. Criticism is a healthy thing, but the UK has always behaved as a petulant child, throwing tantrums if it doesn't get its way in the european theatre. This is a matter of record, and no amount of smooth-talking can hide this.
The notion that the UK is the least racist of the lot is one of the most conceited notions of them all. If anything, it is more racist than most, with some great festering boils waiting to rupture, hidden from the Public by enforced Political Correctness by all the british media and institutions. It's a disease not unique to the UK, but the UK is one of the most profound examples of how Nanny State tries to control some serious problems in society by Legislation and Propaganda, while completely ignoring the root causes. Put on the paint extra thick, and eventually you won't see the rot underneath...
There's plenty of good reasons why Brexit is a good idea, but playing the Holier than Thou card? Really Bad Idea. Especially when you realise that the UK is the one nation in Europe that uses 1984 as a manual, not as the warning it's supposed to be.
Bring on the downvotes, but unpleasant truths must be stated once in a while to remind people it's not all Fluff and Rainbows. A Brexit is a much-needed first step to let matters get worse before they can get better. In the UK as well as the EU.
