"Is Macron not a globalist with all that it entails?"

While we are a member of be EU, Macron can attempt only to impose French policies on behalf of France that are nothing to do with the EU. Should he attempt to impose globalist policies that do impinge on the EU, the UK won't let him. We have the veto. So, whatever your point is, it falls. I don't know how many times I have to say this: flagging up issues that have no chance of coming about while the UK is a member is nobbut vacuous, pointless scaremongering. You are a leaver ignorantly straying on to remain territory without realising it. You'd be a damn sight more relevant if you were flagging up the undesirable things that could come about once we leave that can't happen now. A European army, for example, which we've vetoed. Maybe even moves towards your dreaded "ever-closer union." We will have no say in those two areas, among many others. And to add insult to injury, we would have to be part of that army and we'd be even more adrift from the EU should they come about. And with no control. Enjoy your new-found "sovereignty." Perhaps Trump or China or Vlad The Lad would let you have a little bit if you grovel nicely.
