That is indeed not the whole story and I agree it provides 'ammunition' to opponents of the EU. However, reflect back to current and past shit British govts AGAIN who did not run the country properly and that covers policies that are detrimental to the working population plus shit political ideologies. Like Ireland, Poland's govt had embraced it's EU membership with great enthusiasm and taken full advantage of the benefits and subsidies that have 'come their way'! And don't forget the financial crash of 2010 that had a huge effect in the way that the UK changed it's attitude on lotsa issues and blaming others for our financial and socio-economic woes - no coincidence and exactly like Germany in the 1930s following the 'Wall Street crash'!! Will we never learn the moral lessons from history!!! ? Apparently not for some people!
