Don't take it as a normal article, it's just an emotional letter. If The Sun can give such trivial, emotional arguments, then why not your dearest overseas neighbors. Be a bit charmed by it. It's a mere "I love you", so no reason to question that.
Culturally we do share a lot >:D<

So before we start belittling internationalism, one has to properly understand its own history. Thanks in part to The Netherlands there is still quite a bit of Dutch culture visible in British society.
Similarly, the European Union also imported some very good core values to Britain. The ongoing EU-relationship between the UK and mainland Europe resulted in a thriving financial hub, the London City.
With that in mind it is slightly ridiculous to paint off the above Dutch letter to urge our British brothers and sisters to stay in the EU as 'bullocks'.
And there are still Roman remains and lots of Latin incorporated into the language.
Doesn't mean we want to have circuses with people fighting wild animals these days - although I personally would be up for that; would be an entertaining way to deal with the immigrant problem (that's a joke by the way before those of you who don't understand British humour start writing in).
I don't really follow your argument that we should stay in the EU due to the historical vestiges of culture left over from centuries of wars, empires and invasions.
We should as much be in the EU on that logic as we should breakaway and form a separate Viking Union with Denmark and Norway.
And presume you're fine then with Putin taking back Crimea on the same basis because culturally that has only been Ukrainian for 50 years?
And if you're such a fan of British culture the word you're after is 'bollocks'. Which is aposite in this case.
My main gripe with this article is that the writer apparently doesn't know how to make proper tea! FFS tea isn't bitter if you make it with properly cooking water! It's the reason I always bring a can of it with me to the office, so I can actually drink tea instead of lukewarm water with a bag in it.
Hell, if you're inviting the Swedes to, we want to join in as well!
Like the Irish fans said to the Swedish fans:
check out the link below, confirming that immigration is the most important issue and a small minority believe Osborne anyway. So DC has focused on the wrong issue and they cant win that issue anyway due to lack of trust. I was at the Olympics in 2012 and Osborne was their giving out medals, as he stepped up, boos rang out from all corners , I was really surprised, he is just not liked or trusted. Voters need/want some form of emotional connection with their leaders if they are going to carry them forward. Ignoring policy, Boris has that and Osborne does not.

I was in the Olympic Stadium when Osborne was booed too. To be fair he seemed to take it with good grace.
But you're never going to be PM George - get used to the idea. People just don't trust you and think of you as the epitome of the hated Etonian ruling elite.
Boris is just as entitled as you but he manages to pull off the hardest trick in politics - the general public quite like him.
Sorry mate but life's harsh. It's not like you're going to be skint when you get sacked in a few months is it?
'At the start of this campaign I wanted to leave, renegotiate and stay. Now I am for stay, lobby and see what happens next. Whatever anyone says, there is always another time.'
And that's the Guardian?!? Jesus. He's only just leaning towards stay.
I agree with most of the article. Where I part ways with him is saying 'stay, lobby and see what happens'. That's just too passive I'm afraid given a) we are seen as a constantly moaning and have no clout in Europe and b) who's going to be doing this lobbying? Weaker than American lager Cameron?
Thanks for this article though. It has helped me cement my decision.
As the popular song goes: "I wasn't expecting that"...
Gyles Brandreth explains what will happen if we vote to stay or leave :))

And then people say......there is no hate :-(. My heart goes to Jo Cox and her family and friends. I hope she will survive this attack.
Yes but Jenkins is a right wing commentator. A Tory and former editor of the Times. He writes an occasional column for the Guardian to add an alternative view.
His final decision does seem a bit limp wristed.
Angry A-hole out for revenge on society ?
Well, if the person who did it ran way by screaming "Britain First!".....
On top of that, Jo Cox worked for an aid agency, Oxfam, and for a pro-European campaign organization. She is heavily campaigning for the Remain vote.
Wikipedia:
Cox supports the 'Remain' campaign during the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, 2016.
I'm guessing that it is related to the EU referendum.
f*cking f*ck f*cking f*cks, as the Australians would say.
No, let's not do that.
but for the reason of a brawl in the street, and that happens often in London and uk streets..we can only resolve that with a united effort..and the more we are it eventually will come to a resolve..!
Attack. We can all only hope she recovers.
