I gave up posting on here more than a year ago - a bunch of sheep all agreeing with each others' moans and whines.
And I won't post on here again after tonight. But just to give an example of why millions of us detest the EU and want to see an end to the political stupidity, corruption and nonsense which the EU survives on.
You may have noticed that this week the EU have announced their new team of Presidents.....Think about that,
TEAM of Presidents - anyone know any country / state / whatever that has more than one President other than than the EU ?? Let the rest of us know if you do....
Anyway.....For those of us who will still be trapped in the EU after the UK leaves, here are our new Presidents -
European Commission President - Ursula von dr Leyen. German, of course (largest financial contributer to the EU, so why not is the answer to those who might suggest that the EU is merely a way for Germany and France to rule Europe ) and currently the German Minister of Defence. A bit of a laughing stock back home in The Fatherland due to numerous mishaps in the German Military - like Frau Fatarse having to cadge a lift to Argentina on an Iberia schedule flight after her Luftwaffe plane developed a fault on its way there and admitting that her Ministry had spent € 000s of millions inappropriately to contractors - and despite how the Remainers in the UK poo-pooed Leavers claims as lies that the EU was preparing to create its own Armed Forces, is a full-on supporter of a United States of Europe with its own EU Army

Although just to give her a modicum of the benefit of the doubt, she might not have actually written this piece herself, but who knows....

European Council President - Charles Michel. Belgian, which is a very welcome new job for him because he won't even have to move home for it and which comes after he was turfed out as Belgium's Prime mInister in a vote of no confidence by the Belgium Parliament last December. Talk about luck, heh, and the rewards for failure. Belgium being Belgium, however, he's still
Interim Prime Minister , much like Mrs May, but while she goes back to being a a nobody constituency MP, Monsieur Michel is about to become President of almost 500 million Europeans without 490 million of those Europeanns having ever even heard of him, let alone vote for him as their President.
High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs - Josep Borrell. An archetypical Spanish politician, who will transfer seamlessly from being Spanish Foreign Minister to his new Gilbert & Sullivan's Mikado themed BusyBody, and who will be right at home in Brussels as he has a wonderful record of Public Service which has been blemished only by a few not-really-important scandals, such as -
1 ) Having to resign from the Presidency ( there we go again ) of the European University Institute for an unexplained € 300,000 scandal

2 ) was recently fined € 30.000 for criminal Insider Dealing in Spain

3 ) Spanish citizens ( well those outside Catalunya, presumably ) are delighted that he would support a break-up of the UK and Scotland's entry into the EU whilst absolutely refusing to even consider and discuss Cataluya's desires to breakaway from Spain.

4 ) Has a very personal opinion on Iranian<>Isreal politics, rather Corbyn-esque, and doesn't give a whole lot of confidnce that the EU will be trying very hard to prevent Iran from developing Nuclear Weapons.
And finally....
How would the EU be the EU without a French Politician in a position of ultimate importance, so step forward -
European Central Bank President - Christine Lagarde. Currently MD and Chairperson of the IMF, but can now call herself President, so there's some benefit in having to relocate from New York to Frankfurt. a colourful past, of course, which included being found guilty by a French Criminal Court of being ' negligent ' with € 400 million of French Taxpayers money.

On the other hand, ' negligence ' with TaxPayers money is an absolute must for the EU so probably sealed the job for her.
We were not permitted to vote in any of these four, and we will not be permitted to vote out any of them, either.
Welcome to democracy EU style, and some of you on here still say that people in the UK who voted to leave didn't know what they were voting for.
