THE EU referendum will be the most important vote you will make in your
life and it will shape your family’s wellbeing for the future. This valuable
opportunity to make the voice of the British people heard across Europe should
not be missed. What started as a “good idea” for improving trade links 42
years ago, as the “Common Market”, has become the most despised European
nightmare of modern times. Successive governments have betrayed the British
people by stealth, signing away our sovereignty and erasing our identity without
batting an eyelid, without any consultation or discussion with the electorate
about its enormous impact.Our forefathers, many of whom died protecting our
freedoms and democracy, would turn in their graves. Don’t believe the lies and
propaganda that the “big guns” will use, “Jobs will be lost” or “We will lose
trade if we leave”. These are the words of desperate politicians hellbent on
maintaining their six-figure salaries, not forgetting mindblowing expenses. Just
bear in mind the last 42 years of total subservience to Brussels.
Norway, Switzerland and, indeed, China, already do more business with
Europe than we do without having the £66m per day financial albatross around
their necks.
Britain is the second-largest contributor to the EU budget and that’s why
many of the member states are enjoying this unprecedented newfound wealth, much
of it from the UK taxpayer.
Brussels, while hitting us with a multitude of EU directives, continue to
allow a “back door” immigration system where migrants, shamefully and with
impunity, run riot in Calais or Dunkirk disregarding the EU rule of claiming
asylum in the first country they reach. Again, down to EU incompetence. They
then attempt to make their way to Britain.
We are also seeing thousands of displaced “boat” people landed in Italy
or Greece with unknown backgrounds. Once given documentation, they can travel
anywhere in Europe, including the UK. This practice is not only undermining the
“legal” application process but it is highly dangerous.
My greatest concern for our future, if our people decide to remain within
the EU, is what
the politicians don’t tell us, an ever-expanding EU. Unless you
want to see a continuation of
this abject insanity, and its impact on key
public services like schools and the NHS, you must vote No in the forthcoming EU
referendum. We want our sovereignty back. Yorks
