Considering I'm Dutch, I'm pretty qualified to speak on this kind of stuff and you are wrong. The anti-EU feeling exists mostly in England and Denmark. The rest of the EU member nations had issues with a European Constitution.

and the more right wing of these (e.g. the "England for the English - keep the foreign johnnies out" brigade) put out a lot of false propaganda, for example "Europe is going to ban the traditional British sausage", but basically these are lies pumped about for political reasons. I guess when in Europe you spent too much time with the conspiracy theorists.

And this propaganda is effective, how? Why would they need propaganda if there's a big anti-EU feeling anyway? Doesn't the need for anti-EU propaganda sort of defeat that earlier statement of yours saying there's anti-EU feelings in most member states?

In your previous post you say There are policies the lump all of the European countries into one basket - EU and non-EU" There is NOT A SINGLE LAW THAT COVERS BOTH EU AND NON EU COUNTRIES except where the law a blindingly obvious one (e.g. it is probably illegal to murder someone in all European countries).

You're wrong there I'm afraid, there are in fact laws that govern even non-European Union countries as well as EU member states. There's a reason if you speed in, say, the UK, you will get your ticket delivered
at home eventually.
