Time for Britain to free itself from the EU

[gWaPito]

Despite the pro Brussels propaganda that dominates much of the media the British public knows its been sold down the river.

Britain's annual membership contribution is set to rise 17% to almost 9 billion pounds.

That does not even include the cost of bailouts to Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

There is also a warning frm Brussels that when the former communist state Croatia is allowed to join the bandwagon in 2013, they will impose a further annual tax bill of 200 million pounds a year.

We are being bled dry by the Brussels machine. Bailout after bailout, subscription increase after subscription increase, regulation after regulation is impoverishing our country.

The time has come for the Goverment to stop signing cheques and instead expose Brussels to the full extent of the anger felt by us, the British people. :cwm23:



Gratitude to the Daily Express

Agreed.

As feared by those of us who voted 'no', a Federation in all but name. :NoNo:

I'll hazard a guess many are thinking, what's this got to do with the forum. I will put it to you, it has much to do with the forum.

The additional money we are doling out each year bailing out, propping up other countries could pay for extra flights to The Philippines, perhaps Englishman cld of spent the additional money on a quality airline as opposed to spending 18 hours bedding down with the locals.

Steve may have kept his blade. The list goes on.

Although I also was a no supporter all those years ago I think its probably far to late now to extricate ourselves without even more suffering I also like the flexibilty my treaty rights give me to live in one place and work in another:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Cheers for the thought Gwap:xxgrinning--00xx3: As it happens, I managed to switch to Cathay Pacific and a 55 minute wait in Honkers for no extra cost, so it turned out well for me.:D

Like many Brits, I read the news and am sometimes dismayed by the strange laws that are imposed on us by Europe. I'm not really sure what the benefits of Euro membership are for us, but there must be some otherwise, politicians from all sides would be campaigning to get us out. The fact that both Labour and Tory Gov'ts have kept us in Europe, there must be a good reason for us to belong. What that reason is I don't know.

In truth, I'm on the fence on this one, I need to see the arguments for both sides (without the sensationalism of the press).

[Steve.r]

Yes, I have an empty garage now where my pride and joy was. The same sentiment could well be used when looking at the Uk. Great Britain lost the 'Great' years ago imo, Euro this Euro that ... Brussels dictatiing. I really dont know what 'real' benefits we have. I just want to leave as soon as I can.

Those who invest £5 million will be allowed to settle here after 3 years, and those investing £10 million or more will be allowed to settle after 2 years. This compares with the current minimum 5-year requirement.
