The Daily Telegraph is a nakedly conservative paper. Yes, I'm sure the US promoted the idea of the EU heavily in Europe, not least through the CIA. As a European myself I heartily agree with the notion that a stable peaceful EU closely allied with the US was much better than a continent wracked by two massive gruesome wars within thirty years. Britain was not doing just fine, it lost a generation of young men in WW1 and was then brought to its knees by WW2. It's only thanks to US intervention that I didn't grow up under Nazi rule rather than in a democratic society.

Why are you peddling this right-wing bullshit on DU?
