Not going to even bother dissecting this argument. Living in the UK at the moment we see so much of this Britexit type hyperbole (without any real thought or planning for the future):<p>&quot;Actually the EU is the worst thing that could happen to the European Countries since the WWII&quot;<p>Really? How about invasion through the Fulda Gap by the USSR? Or communism spreading and taking hold of more of Europe? Or the food supply failing leading to famine? Or constant nationalism resulting in WW3? Or resurgent Nazism? or an outbreak of civil wars across the whole continent? or outbreak of disease? or nuclear terrorism? or massive levels of regular terrorism? or massive energy crisis leading to huge death tolls because of colds. I can go on...<p>For just one of the huge amount of positive benefits of the EU, I will leave the argument to Patrick Stewart doing a short comedy about it:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;culture&#x2F;video&#x2F;2016&#x2F;apr&#x2F;25&#x2F;patrick-stewart-sketch-what-has-the-echr-ever-done-for-us-video" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;culture&#x2F;video&#x2F;2016&#x2F;apr&#x2F;25&#x2F;patrick...</a>
