This is not just a Government issue, it is a national issue. Everyone in the country is involved in it. When anything to do with Europe is debated it is important to remember what it is all about. It is essentially about peace in Europe, which was riven by wars for centuries. Country after country fought one another. The Germans fought the French; the French fought the Spanish; the Spanish fought the Belgians; the English fought everybody. The First World War followed. It began with the assassination of one man and for the first time we saw the reality of war and all the pictures coming back from trenches showing thousands of people dead. We saw mustard gas being used but we still did not learn. There was another war, the Second World War, when 45 million people were killed and 147 million were injured. Millions of animals and wildlife were destroyed. Infrastructure, bridges, houses and homes were destroyed. Cities were bombed and priceless art was destroyed.
