If you click the link on the name of the author you get a list of all the other articles he has published in The Guardian, and it becomes very clear what kind of agenda this guy is pushing. He is definitely not a fan of EU, but seems to be very fond of the idea of brexit.

That is good that he is not found of what he believes to be Eurocentric. The bot seems to understand better the author than anyone alse commenting here.

I am not a fan of EU either and I don't see UK leaving the EU as a problem itself but the ideological move, that is also Eurocentric, conservative, xenophobic, based on lies and lack of real "independece" project for the UK economy.

Seen the enthusiasms in people desiring for a EU nation state like terrifies me because I came from a continental country (not Russia) and I know the kind of "imperialism" it entails. As I see the hidden "Nationalism" in many people wishing an EU nation state.
