Withdrawing troops from NATO exercises on Russia's borders in Eastern Europe would demonstrate that Britain desires peace. No longer demonising Putin and falsely accusing Russia of crimes it did not commit, such as the shoot-down of MH17 or the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, would go a long way to healing the rift. <br /><br />In the 70's and early 80's I drove around much of Europe with my fiancee. We "dined-out" in all the best places - inside my yellow 2CV with the vinyl sunroof down, listening to Pink Floyd. Best car I ever had; with a two-stroke air-cooled engine it could do 70 mph downhill with the wind behind it. That was before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the cold war. I dreamed that one day, we would be able to drive on along the autobahn to Berlin and beyond, to Warsaw and Moscow. <br /><br />I love the countries of Europe. The EU is not Europe; the EU is destroying Europe.
