Ah yes,
The infamous "island mentality" to the fore, never mind all their fellow countrymen that may have taken the education to learn a foreign language and be making the most of their privilege to live and work in more prosperous jobs and countries of the European Union than those "boring baskets" who decline to leave their island shores except for the occasional holiday and/or booze cruise!
Interesting, isn't it, how the pro-EU lobby always resort to insults such as "
island mentality" (clearly not meant in a complementary way). "
Swivel-eyed loons" comes to mind.
If it's not insults, it's fear, such as: if we leave the EU there'll be a loss of 3,000,000 jobs, the country will become a backwater, we'll be like Norway and/or Switzerland (again not meant in a complementary way), we'll be punching below our weight, etc., etc., etc., (yawn).
