"I am always fascinated by the people pushing the 'take back control' mantra being the same people who enthusiastically insist it is NATO rather than the EU that has kept peace in Europe for decades."
Why? The reason NATO gets mentioned as the peace keeper is because some seriously uninformed people arguing to remain and possibly not being old enough to know any better thought the EU kept the peace since the second world war. It became such a 'common knowledge' fact that anyone knowing better (remain or leave) had to explain to these people that history did not start with the creation of the EU.
"Put a guy from the other side of the Atlantic ocean"
And yet the military power that is large enough and equipped enough to be the main force in NATO to which the rest of us working together should be able to support except only some of Europe can be bothered to fund. All the while the EU tries to provide a new solution to a non-existent problem by wanting to make their own army but without a clue of how such a stupid idea can be formed. By a Union that is in self inflicted crises and struggles to wrap their heads around it. Yet expect the Americans to step in when they screw up badly such as Ukraine's current situation.
"But sit round a table with our (foreign speaking) neighbours and come up with common hairdryer rules?"
Have idiots imposing dumb regulations to enforce upon the people to make them poorer who are now trying to convince the UK to remain under such rules when we leave otherwise we will have a competitive advantage. Such neighbours who have less in common with us than those Americans over the ocean.
"What a humiliating insult to our great country, and a violation of our sovereignty."
And the good news is the people have had the right to vote on the matter finally and in keeping with our more democratic way we are leaving and taking back our sovereignty.
