They're throwing the word around like confetti at a wedding.
"The fear is we will be increasingly isolated from our EU partners (sic)"
or a variation on this theme.
Readers, please note: When they say 'we', they don't mean us, they mean them.
The isolation they fear is their own isolation from the Brussels bubble, from the euro-trough. No more soirées, no more canapés, no more junket conferences, no more late-night boozing sessions on the tax-payer tab.

Et alors? None of this has anything to do with trade, commerce and culture for the rest of us, who are already excluded from the gravy train. The pro-Brussels camp is driven by narrow self-interest masquarading as grand purpose.

They just don't get it do they? Isolation to us means independence. Free of the EU Dictatorship and all its rules, regulations and statutes. Free to keep £50million a day plus the £90 million a year it's costing business. Free to govern ourselves. Free to decide who stays and comes to our country. Free to trade with whomever we want...
I want go on... :)
I meant "won't" of course!
Fear is all they have to offer. It doesn't work on you or me.
I don't get what national politicians hope to get from the EU. If they sacrifice power to it then they make themselves irrelevant. In a federal EU economies of scale would mean far fewer political representatives per head of population. What are they thinking?
Tom, I guess it could be membership of an executive club that is insulated from the necessity to serve the ungrateful and fickle public.
Could be I suppose. It is something that has never really made sense to me. I always assumed politicians loved power over everything else.
