To my fellow BRITISH Citizens - English, Welsh, Scots, Irish.
THE FUTURE OF BRITAIN AS EUROPEANS
I have already written two articles about BRITAIN and Europe namely the EU. Clearly. This is not enough.
At present there is so much confusion and distortion about this subject including down right lies and misinformation. So, what are the facts and the truth.
Britain will remain in Europe but may exit the EU. This is the big difference.
In my view - The British People want to -
Live in Peace with all our European neighbours.
Remain an Independent Sovereign Nation
Trade - free trade - with all European Nations for our mutual benefits. The EU represents 9 per cent of GDP according to Professor Minford of Cardiff University.
Enjoy holidays throughout Europe without hindrance.
Enjoy social and cultural exchanges with the people of Europe.
Remain within NATO to protect Europe.
Encourage Joint Ventures
Exchange Police information to stop criminals and terrorists
Respect Freedom of speech.
Respect The Laws of each Nation.
Respect the Principles of the United Nations
Respect the Political Institutions of each country
Promote Democracy within Europe
Enjoy Religious Freedom
These are some of the most popular needs of the British People.
In my view - The British People do NOT want to -
Be Members of a Political Union called the EU.
Have UK Laws made by unelected Civil Servants in Brussels.
Use The EU Parliament to create Laws for the British
People.
Reject the £ as their Currency and do not wish to join the EuroZone.
Accept the inefficient EU Commission and Institutions which have gone many many years without their Accounts passed by the Auditors - a situation which would never be accepted in Commercial Enterprises.
Accept the net excessive costs of membership of the EU Club. The UK pays into the EU more than it receives.
Restrict the UK Fishing Industry, Steel Industry, Farming Industry, Food Industry to name just a few Industries which have been adversely affected by EU Regulations and Red Tape.
Join a European Army.
Allow the EU to negotiate trade deals globally embracing BRITAIN and prevent BRITAIN making bi- lateral agreements as it wishes.
Accept free movement of Labour and Migration without conditions.
Be subservient to European Law.
So, there are big differences when you examine the TRUTH and FACTS. If BRITAIN leaves the EU it will NOT be leaving Europe !
Labour, Liberal and some Conservatives keep talking of how bad it will be for Britain if we leave Europe. They are misleading the Public.
EUROPE.......................YES
European Union...........NO
We should never have allowed BRITAIN to be sucked into the EU Political Structure when all the BRITISH People wanted was a Free Trade EEC Agreement. Prime Minister Edward Heath was duped into the 1973 Treaty - or was he just deluded ?
Yes, for decades, We the British People have been sinking into the bog of European Federalism.
The EU has a Federal Parliament, Federal Electoral System, Federal non elected President and Foreign Secretary, Federal Commission and a Federal Council of Ministers. What more proof do you want to show that the EU motivation is Federalism ? The UK is just one state - a cog in the EU Wheel ! Is this what we want for our children and Grandchildren ?
Prime Minister David Cameron is trying his best to get concessions from the EU prior to a British Referendum. Any concessions are likely to avoid the key issue - Does Britain want to be subservient in a Federal System or not ?
I have previously written that if the British People vote to remain in the EU, the rule reference Welfare Payments and Healthcare should be based on the following principle - the costs of EU citizens working in Britain for Welfare and Healthcare must be paid by the Country of Origin.
No more payments for Polish or other EU Nationals children living in Warsaw or elsewhere for workers living in Britain. Is this not fair ?
I do not think that a 4 year residence before payments is acceptable. It is a fudge pure and simple.
It is about time that we returned to normality.
I rest my case !
