What do you think ?

You do realize who produces videos like this one, don't you? Full of dangerous, jejune demagoguery. Posted to Youtube by someone who has no name but 'Neon God' and wears a mask.

Ta very much Hilary, that all seems to reflect what I was taught in History, and what I remember of the events ever since then.

Whereas the spiel from Michael Dougan starts with his opening statement that his job for the University is to teach European Constitutional Law, and by that, it is obvious that his career, his salary, and his continuance, depends on the UK remaining part of the EU.

It's always useful to read the commentaries on pieces of clickbait produced by the Guardian. Its certainly not what I see in the majority of the former United Kingdom.
