EU - No thank you

Once again, our island race is threatened, and not just from those without, but also from our own countrymen who lift their heel against us.

Do they not know? Have they not heard?

Britain has been built on a thousand years of freedom, why are they so intent upon giving it away?

What is there to gain by shackling ourselves to those who are intent upon destroying us?

We gave the world “freedom”.

No-one knows it better than we.

The EU is removing our freedoms.

The freedoms handed down to us, through sacrifice, through blood, sweat and tears.

The freedoms of centuries enshrined in Magna Carta, now removed by the European Arrest Warrant, which prevents our British Courts defending us, which has removed protection under Habeas Corpus, which has meant we can be hauled off to a foreign land and imprisoned, without even knowing the charge against us.

Even though the EU restricts our trade with the world, we have still managed to overcome these restraints, and our exports to the rest of the world is growing, while EU trade is declining.

Sterling is strong – the Euro is weak and is being artificially supported by the EU Banks.

Britain already has strong export relationships with our Commonwealth, where our Queen is Sovereign Head, where we all speak the same language and where most laws and business practices have been adopted from the mother country.

This great Commonwealth of ours is one of the fastest growing elements in world trade; some have negotiated free trade through all; the Americas; through south east Asia and China; while India, on its own constitutes one of the largest developing markets, in its own right.

We are not charged £55 million per day to be part of that relationship.

The EU wants to block our access to all of this.

Notwithstanding the costs and restrictions imposed upon us by the EU, Britain is the fastest growing economy in Europe. We are creating jobs and employment opportunities at a tremendous rate – hence the reason why so many more want to come here, by fair means or foul.

There is no argument about threats to British jobs if we leave the EU. That comes from the scaremongers who want us to be bound up with the EU.

No longer do we have to sit back and be swamped with political directives which are ruining our nation. The cross roads have been reached. Choose which way you will go, straight on into ever deeper absorption into the EU, with never any hope of regaining your freedom, or turn right and say “no!”

We have governed Great Britain for a thousand years and built a worldwide empire, on our own.

No thank you EU, we are stronger without you.

We would rather rejoin our Commonwealth of nations, at no cost and revitalise our industries, as the power house of those developing nations.

As for me and my family, we will be voting ‘no’.

Their future depends on it.

Why wouldn’t you agree to that?

I cannot trust Cameron to protect me and my family.
