"We wanted to nationalise the railways and other privatised assets and the EU laws were preventing this." -No they didn't. As I pointed out nothing prevented state ownership of railways in the EU. In fact the UK railway network was largely state owned after privatisation...by other states: https://members5.boardhost.com/xxxxx/msg/archive/1575398587.html As I said all those years ago this was nothing to do with the EU. It was because, above all: "...the British elite has a phobia about public ownership and a contempt for its own citizens." "...As I have pointed out several times, since the advent of Thatcher the Brits were the biggest agents for privatisation in the EU, promoting and supporting the legislation that made it so. It not a matter of our way versus theirs: the British state under both Labour and Tories used its power in Europe to create the very agenda that the pretendy "Lexiters" decry as the fault of those European baddies and EU neoliberal devils whose foreign notions we should all fly away from into the cuddly British arms of the perfidious bitch who promoted them: Madame Britannia. -Its all a lovely self flattering xenophobia but the antithesis of the truth: a bad foreigner did it and ran away."
