Could you elaborate regarding how exactly were eastern bloc countries "tricked" into joining by the UK? And what prevents them from leaving now that the tricksters from UK have long since left themselves?
I refer you to the video as to the why and how, keeping in mind that's before the Berlin Wall came down.
The Brits have a habit of only telling you the precise truth when they think you think they're joking.

This wasn’t intentional of the people who started the cogs turning, it was meant to be an empty gesture to get elected, no one expected it to actually pass.
