IT appears that the head of the CBI is not only totally out of touch with
the views of the general public regarding
Britain’s membership of the failed
EU, but is also completely out of touch with his membership.
His view is to campaign against leaving this totally worthless
dictatorship when most business leaders want the EU to be radically reformed or
for Britain to leave.
This fact was made clear by Lord Bamford, the head of one of Britain’s
most successful companies, JCB, and who has said that reform is needed to reduce
the costly and ridiculous EU red tape burden.
As Lord Bamford said, leaving the EU would allow us to make our own trade
deals rather than being one of 28. He hits the nail on the head when he states
that Britain “is the fifth or sixth largest economy in the world. We could exist
on our own, peacefully and sensibly”. He is, of course, so right.
Meanwhile David Cameron has started his renegotiations, but has not
mentioned the most important issue from Britain’s point of view, an end to or
opt out of the free movement
of people; nothing else matters if he does not
get this concession (The Yorkshire Post, May 27).
Stopping benefits will not stop the mass flow of people to the country
they see as the land of milk and honey. And as all the EU elite have already
told him, this is a non-starter, why waste time negotiating?
Give us our referendum now and let’s start making Britain great again.
