Ah well Wikipedia is teeming with EU propagandists.
The EU has
propagandists?
To be fair, 90% of the negative stories about the EU over the years have been utter nonsense. Each country has its own urban legends. In Spain, the myth for years was that the EU were banning the Spanish from growing and selling olives. In the UK, there were all these bogus stories going round about EU directives determining the sizes of sausages and bananas. None of these were true.
The worst thing about the EU is that it lacks accountability and is ultimately anti-democratic. But there are lots of benefits to EU membership. Just ask the Irish.
