I feel a need to tweet something for people to use when confronted by angry anti-EU British people .
The "EU " is the Irish person sold you a Guinness last year on your holiday ,
The "EU" is that lovely Spanish nurse that put a bandage on you.
The "EU" is that French vineyard family you visited and everyone was nice .
The "EU" is that Polish builder who worked over the weekend for you.
The "EU" is that German person who learned english knowing you would not learn German
The "EU" is that Dutch cop that got your drunk skull away from danger
The "EU" is all of us.
It is us .
It is NOT some belligerent nation seeking to make war with General Francois.
The "EU" is 27 nations of 440 million people with many languages and cultures , all with a mind, all with freedom, all with a vote.
The "EU" is us, people, we have names.
We refuse to be a created enemy by the fascists in UK
If someone is raping you, it is likely to be one of your own.
many bad things about UK being rich but uk people being poor are a construct.
Perhaps, it is time to reduce US as a target.
There is no "EU" just me and other people .
Fin
and yes... WE
The "EU" is the people that made a law to make airlines pay you back
MY over laboured point is that "the eu " is being recreted by the english fascists as a foreign enemy , a nation, a monster. WE are just people in all OUR countries , nothing more or less. We are not your new Jews to hate . We will not accept your fascism this time.
The "EU" is that girl who trims your dogs' hair and she is paid £ 9 (min wage ) . She is Latvian . She is "EU"
The "EU" is people that are not english neo-nazis.
My point is, as an Irish person , I know how the demonise . Irish people know the English better than the english know themselves.
You arrogant nazis will not make Italians, Croatians, French, Latvians , germans, etc etc into " the EU ". We won't allow you this .
The French Résistance had a life expectancy of 1/100, the greeks the same, the extreme of Belarus killed more Nazis than the english and americomedy. These days are long ago but I get angry at history being rewrit. Tis why us monks are precious about history.
