For those who don't know - the "call sign" that the strongly pro-EU people
use is "We're all European now". Most who are involved or interested in
UK/EU politics are aware of that saying.
By the way, Daniel, now that you've shouted at me I've totally changed my
mind and believe everyone should be told to use and speak in metric.
Who says "dictating does not work" eh?

- Those who campaign for the abolition of imperial, as in "anti-imperial",
and propogate the idea that "we're all european now" and cite that EU laws
should be used to force this (basically the arch-nemesis of those
identified 3 points ago).
Why does it have to be "we're all European now", instead of "we're all one
world now"? Is it the anti-imperials who claim the European link or is it
the anti-metrics who say the anti-imperials are in league with Europe? Why
doesn't your side acknowledge that it just isn't Europe that is metric?
The whole world is metric yet your side doesn't accept that, why?
Rip comes from a metric country that is nowhere near Europe. How is his
situation explained by the "anti-metric it is only an EU plot" propaganda?
Repeat it to yourself until it sinks in: THE WHOLE WORLD IS METRIC!
