I'd say yes to an extent.  The sovereignty of this Island is paramount.  The EU makes the UK peripheral, tells us what to do, tries to destroy our autonomy, and in doing so is destroying what makes Britain great!  The pound sterling makes Britain great. Not the euro.

So if you are for the EU, you are willfully letting Britain go to rack and ruin.  There isn't real logic to it.  But that is the view of the 'patriots'.  

Others who are anti EU are so because they see European Parliament as an irrelevant, undemocratic, wasteful body that brings no real benefit.  Others are anti-EU simply because they haven't heard any reason not to be, they are ill informed.
