Just for the record, do you know what was the reason there is/was war in Ukraine?
|
Multiple reasons, the brush-stroke "EU" argument trivialises a conflict which threatened to destabilize not only Ukraine but other Russian border countries. Russia has a one hundred and fifty year history of manipulating Ukraine, to say it's all the EU's fault is bollocks.

STM, the UK never planned to stay in the EU indefinitely. The UK isn't part of the Schengen area and the Eurozone.

I don't think that's true, the UK petitioned to join the EU once or twice before we were accepted into the community. The political class believe the UK would not benefit from being a part of the Schengen area and I think it's fairly obvious that we shouldn't join the Eurozone until the Euro as a currency is more stable (a la the US dollar). We did have a referendum to leave once before and the answer was a resounding no. I think the the British political elite's belief that we deserve some sort of preferential treatment within the union is both arrogant and dull.
