    I have no wish to live in a communist state called the EU. I used to wonder how the people of the USSR were gulled into a dictatorship but now I know as I have watched the insidious creep of the European Communist Project. The fact that the core polititians are immune from prosicution says it all. Britian must LEAVE this bastard state which has formed.

    The EU is just a club for get rich quick politicians, who neither care for, or benefit the people they are supposed to be serving.
    Ted Heath had a lot to answer for . I hope he is slowly roasting in hell for his betrayal of the British people.

    An excellent and professional advert, and up to the usual high standard of TPA
    Can anybody except a political illiterate or one with an EU “kink in their think” possibly believe membership is in anybody’s interest?
    What is Cameron doing? He and the Shadow cabinet ought to be certified under the Mental Health Act.
    Actually, the current gang of politicians – whether government or “opposition” are guilty of gigantic fraud, and yet another theft from the public purse (apart from their expenses scandal).

    A very thought provoking video and a good piece of propogander. I also share the fear of creeping communism and its fellow travellers of other contributors..
    Dispite the rant against Cameron which I can understand he is the only electable leader of a Government that is pledged to roll back the intrusion of the EU.
    But he has to be elected which means achieving a record swing of voters.,he has the difficult task of blending his core Eurosceptisism with winning votes without leaving himself a hostage of the media destroying any hopes of winning over the uncommitted. As a eurosceptic and a footsoldier in the constituency trying to win a General Election ,I can accept Cameron’softly softly approach.

    Incidentally this is my first blog ever, and now I suppose it will be ignored or recieve some ‘ smart Alec ‘ responses but I do hope for a thoughtful one or even two.

    Ron. You wrote:

    I could not disagree more. DC is devious and we all know only too well that he has completely abandoned his unqualified and unconditional “cast iron” promise of a referendum on the Lisbon treaty/constitution.

    We are told that Conservative policy is to negotiate with our European partners to “repatriate” certain powers already ceded.
    But, It must be asked how will this be possible, given that the EU never ever relinquishes power?
    In any event this would first require the assent of all other 26 member states which will not be forthcoming?
    This theory of Cameron’s is remote from the real world of EU politics.
    Already several European leaders have expressed their adamant opposition to such a move, suggesting that such negotiations would be doomed before they start?.
    They are simply not prepared to re-negotiate the terms of Lisbon and go through the tortuous process of having to pass structural changes all over again, which has taken them some ten years to reach with Lisbon.
    Given that these negotiations would take, not months, but several years then ‘repatriation’ is simply out of the question.
    That leaves him with his pathetic promise of ‘no more powers’ given to the EU without a future referendum.
    Rubbish! He knows only too well that Lisbon gives the EU all the powers it needs, for it is an amending treaty.
    There is no need for another.
    Bang goes another policy and promise of DC.
    Totally worthless.

    The argument that Britain has more clout within the EU because the EU will represent 500 million people is nonsense.
    For the EU to represent 500 million people would require that every country thought alike. We know that Britain is quite different from the major EU members and often disagrees with them but is always over-ridden.
    The opt-outs from EU legislation are only temporary and eventually are adopted by Britain. The EU uses other things like health and safety to overcome objection to some other regulation e.g. the working time directive.

    The working time directive was originally proposed to reduce the competition that France found unacceptable because the French Government could not persuade the unions that they must give up their very short working week.
    Now we find that the working time directive is causing enormous difficulties for the NHS doctors and people are dying because of it. It has put greater cost on the NHS.
    It has also made life more complicated for bus and transport companies. What justification facts and figures and cost benefit analysis was done before this working time directive was introduced ? None that was made readily available to the public.

    Britain is not popular in the EU. And that feeling is mutual with the British public.
    Everything that has been done by the EU has produced limitations on British industry and has destroyed much of it.
    Fishing, shipbuilding, agriculture and so on.

    But worst of all the British people are being required to give up their justice system and freedom in return for some ideal held by a few influential European Empire builders of becoming a country called Europe.
    It can be seen happening by looking at car number plates, passports and driving licences all displaying the ‘ring of barbed wire’ or stars.

    One thing is certain, the British people will not have their voice heard by being part of the monster EU. We are big enough and worldly enough to stand on our own feet but for that to happen we will need a proper representative government.
    The prospect of that happening are not very likely given the quality of leadership of all three main parties.
    The ‘pin pricking’ party UKIP is very necessary to drive our politicians into the real world and to force them to discuss the pros and cons of Britain’s future Inside or out of the EU.

    I am sure that the original architects of the EEC only intended it as a system for paying French farmers out of the Ruehr industry´s profits as a way of making reperations without laying the seeds of yet another European War, Versailles II, and not a source of secure employment for ex SS officers and Staasi operativesamongst others nor as the final fulfillment of Frederick the Great, Napoleon and Adolf Hitlers dreams.
    Throughout all the turmoil of what has been Continetal Europe´’s history, Britain has lost an empire, bankrupted herself and lost over 1.250 million men for what? Nothing! but a load of extra paperwork and petty regulations, extra taxation ( environmental tax is the realisation of taxing the air we breathe) boring little directions, huge expense and lots of fat controller The question is not that we should get out but how can we turn events around so that we, the private citizens can take back control and ourmoney Having lived and worked in many EU countries I can assure you that we are not alone in our hatred of Brussels and all that it stands for. Outof the 500 million citizens ther must be at least 200 million who share our desire to be rid of them. That makes for a very powerful force and we should be working to empower it and not just thinking about retreating to the white cliffs. Lets play the bastards at their own game and see them off once and for all.I am sure there are many friends of ours in the USA, Australis, New Zealand etc who would also be happy to give us a hand to break the chains of servitude and turn the tables on the Dictators,

    Much as I dislike party politics there is a danger that the Great British Apathy Party will win again if we do not drive the facts home to every citizen in the land.

    When you work it out and add all the taxes together, including those on your home, the car, road, parking etc
    by thetime you have been to work and done the shopping you need to earn 6 pounds gross for every 1 pound net you get5 to spend.

    Governments always like to quote income tax rates to show how generous they are to uis poor workers in letting us take home as much as half what we earn but when you add all these other taxes, together wiht the great NIC con into the equation, you find that you are closer to paying 82% in the pound. WE need to illustrate that and get it across to more people so that they will join us in getting ourown money back from the thieves of Whitehall and Brussels.

    WE also need to get businesses behind us since the less tax they pay the lower the prices they need to charge the consumer whilst the less tax the consumer pays the more good he=she can purchase.

    Can we get another campaign in the Daily Mail showing the true facts on the front page and asking the new emperor and Gordon to deny it

    Britain has/had the “biggest ’supermarket’” available to her in the world. It’s called The Commonwealth with seasons for fruit and veg. different from Europe. Alas we turned our backs on this asset and its people favour of a European political dream that can never work. Anyone younger than me (54 ) has never had the chance to vote on this unconstitutional mess. The British people were mislead – when did the Common Market become the European Union? A whole different thing. At 18 I voted against.!
