I've been on this forum for 16 years, 17 years soon if God permits, I've just added an anti-European Commission comment somewhere else in this thread, hope that helps keeping score with who's saying what.
Pretty sure your comment wasn't what was intended, as it hadn't been posted yet. And let's not pretend the comments being referred to are reasonable. They're flagged and dead for a reason.

That's demonstrably not true. Granted, that's what Jean Monnet and his disciples had (and still have) in mind, but that's not what was presented as the face of this supra-state association as soon as the 2000s.
That's why many people are so upset about it since the gloves have come off about the true intent of those Jean Monnet followers, which by my (previously stated) estimation started happening in the last 10-15 years.
