London, founded in AD50, has been in the EU for all of 2% of its existence. Hardly denting the 'experiment' is it?

1/ The idea that London only became a global city 44 years ago thanks to membership of a protectionist bloc lacks historical perspective.
-
2/ This is a city that has been global, tolerant and diverse for centuries. The idea that leaving an ill-executed bloc is the end of history
-
3/ Is knee-jerkish at best, dishonest at worst.
-
dishonest? Which part?
-
If (hypothesis) London's history of global reach, tolerance and diversity is wilfully ignored to make a Brexit point, that is dishonest.
-
"wilfully ignored"? the article is mostly about London being a global city! Straw man argument
-
As I said, hypothetical argument which I you are now choosing to take as gospel. Who is on the Wright side of the hypothesis?

Wow, a city that for centuries survived fire, plague, invasions, revolutions, terrorism and world wars is now in mortal peril from Brexit.

this country of mine is quickly becoming an intolerant arrogant backwater that still bemoans its loss of empire.

dismantle their nations? A one war ravaged continent remember. WAR! WAR! WAR! All gone. Worth the price?
-
Then good luck to those on the continent who wish to build political union. I do not however wish for Britain to be involved.
-
Political union=human union=peace. Nationalism=human separation=conflict. Every part of history verifies that. Where do you want us to be?
