IT IS no surprise that former Labour leaders have lent their names to a plea to remain in the EU.
If anything this letter shows the desperation and panic which must be setting in the ‘Remain’ camp.
This intervention from ‘Yesterday’s men’ is to some extent illustrative of what is wrong with the EU.
Take for example Lord (Neil) Kinnock, formerly a fervent ‘out’ campaigner.
He became converted to the benefits of membership of the then European Community, when he obtained a lucrative job within the European Commission.
It is telling that Lord Kinnock had far more power over the British people as an EU commissioner than ever he was trusted with by the British people in any election.
It’s time to end this arrangement which only suits the political elite and leave the EU, irrespective of Lord Kinnock’s pleading.
