I SO much agree with the many who have said it is NATO that has so far kept the "peace" and not the EU.
I use that term lightly as British Forces have never been out of harm's way since the end of World War Two and up to today.
However, reading, listening, watching all the so angry debates between the "INs" and "OUTs", that often go into so many ridiculous and enraged extremes – I now feel slightly concerned that with the voting maybe being so very close on both sides, after July 23, Britain may once again enter into a Civil War!
Countries and people so equally divided do tend to do that. I mean we had our own time back then with the Cavaliers and Roundheads. USA had the Union and Confederates. Many other countries have also experienced the very same with their own split opinions or thoughts.
I wonder how we would all be called, "The Brexits" versus "The Remainers". Be interesting to see what uniforms we each wear and what flag we each fly under.
Even that alone could bring on more arguments and yet another Referendum.
I can picture Boris right now on top of a big white charger leading all into battle whilst Cameron seeks aid from the French!
