Jon Danzig: Why We Joined the EU

Jan 1, 2025 | [The EU] was never ‘just about trade’.

It was 52 years ago – on 1 January 1973 – that Britain joined the European Community.

My (Jon Danzig’s) video explains why we joined – and why we might join again, for the same reasons. It was never just about trade. The EEC/EU was started first and foremost to create lasting peace between its members, following the most devastating war the world had ever known.



Knowledge is surely our best defence, and attack, against the mistake of Brexit. Happy New Year! – @JonDanzig
