The EU is a gathering of Capitalist States with Capitalist aims - no-one claims it to be altruistic aby more than the British system is
Britain has consistently abandoned people to fates created by its own greed and self-interest

I didn't make the snide comment, it was implicit in the comment I quoted from the Guardian.

I can't see any British leader offering to help anyone else at present - Westminster's attitude to The North of England and Northerner Ireland has been uneven and extremely questionable from day one
"Nightingale Hospitals" for London, but also for Birmingham, Sheffield, Manchester, Cardiff, Belfast & Glasgow. No, no inequality there.
