Hmmm...

I still think on balance that we are better off inside the EU than we would be if we left it, but for me the margin is getting narrower.  In particular, the shambolic response (or perhaps it would be more accurate to say, lack of response) to the problem of all these immigrants seeking to enter the EU calls into question the extent to which there is any real "unity" in the Union.  It's turned into an "every country for itself" situation. Where's the leadership?  Where's the policy?  Perhaps we're not in the best position to be critical, given that we deliberately opted out of the Schengen Agreement, but you have to start asking what is the point of the European Union if the countries it comprises can go their own way when it suits them.
