Britain to benefit from leaving the EU

[mos]

Britain did not recieve help under the Marshall Plan; in fact Britain only finished repaying the US for their part in the war effort a few years ago. The Marshall Plan was developed to help other countries, like Germany and Holland, rebuild their economies after the war.

Poland was affected by war to the greatest degree: 6 million Poles murdered or killed (elites were especially targeted), 50% of infrastructure, especially industrial. And after all that ....

The truth is that the post-war Labour Government, advised by its resident economic pundits, freely chose not to make industrial modernisation the central theme in her use of Marshall Aid.

Oh then I stand corrected and if you've found a way to blame the Labour party for wasting money then I congratulate you.

It all started when Nazi troops dressed as Polish soldiers 'invaded' Germany, so blame Germany and Russia for agreeing to annex Poland between them

Why does US aid to Britain and Poland's fate in the war have any relevance whatever to free migration in the EU? What happened to Poland was terrible but maybe you should be blaming the Germans and Russians for that. After a long debilitating war the UK had no further capacity to oppose Russian expansion and why would it be our duty anyway?

In my opinion Britain also made a very large mistake when it didn't develop the consumer markets of its colonies. By neglecting education (e.g. not creating a single decent further education institution during its tenure in India) , Britain ensured there was no middle class to sell its goods to.
Of course the reasoning behind that was that an educated populace would struggle for independence but it was obvious this would happen anyway.

First bit, yes. Governments seem to forget that the free movement policy was set up to enable free movement of workers, not free movement of scroungers, and they need to set up their policies to deal with that.

Whom exactly are you calling the scroungers !? Stop projecting your bad attitude on honest, hard working people.

Again, you chose target of your hate and prejudice because its easy: people who are honest, hardworking and are keeping head down. Too surprised to even start thinking about fending off this smear campaign. If Western civilisation will die, here you have why.

We were talking about Marshall Plan, and the origin of the Myth that Britain did not get it.

With a chip on the shoulder that big surprised mos can find his head in the morning.

And what is this oh so hard working Polish contractor doing spending so much time on CUK?
