IN OR OUT ?

When ever I hear a news item concerning Scottish Devaluation,Welsh independence of even God help us Cornish independence I am certain that the politicians involved in these everlasting debates should be committed at once to the nearest Mental Hospital.......Whoops,sorry, I forgot for the moment that these useful institutions were closed by an assortment of crackpot politicians from a variety of parties over the past twenty years or so!

At a time when these same politico's are moving heaven and earth to convince an unwilling British public to remain in the European Union, it just seems senseless to split the U. K. into tiny pieces.

We are told that we cannot survive outside the E.U. Quite apart from the fact that such a statement is utter rubbish can they not see the anomaly.

Today I learned that some of our Ministers think that counties such as Yorkshire should be given home rule! What nonsense!

Incidentally ,when did the Common Market become the European Union? And why ?

Scotland just voted in a referendum to decide on their independence,they voted against. This was wise as had they become independent they would have begun their new found freedom in a state of bankruptcy!

It is not general known that 25%of all taxes raised in Greater London are spent on the Scots, they could not survive without the money they receive from the English tax payer. Is that fair, who can say? One thing I can tell you is that speaking as someone who lived in London for almost a quarter of a century , Londoners don't like it, they don't like it at all.

I voted against joining the Common Market many years ago,I could not ,and still cannot see why we should wish to tie ourselves up with a bunch of nations who had for the past five or six hundred years been attempting to conquer our nation.

The Germans hate us..for obvious reasons, the French detest us because we had to bail them out twice in less that thirty years. Lets face it folks the British are not liked by the rest of Europe.

In order to join this dubious ménage we as good as dumped our trade links with Australia and New Zealand, this was not good judgement.

We did not need Europe then and we don't need it now. The whole blasted mess was a half baked attempt to turn Europe in to something similar to the United States of America, complete with President and senate. It could never work, I am not even sure that it works in The States.

Some States such as California, after living beyond their means for decades now expect to be bailed out by States such as Texas who have managed their affairs with more prudence. Just as we in Britain have,at to the detriment of our own Farming and Fishing industry been bailing out inefficient French Farmers for years. It's ludicrous!

It is less than a month since the Scots voted no to Devolution and yet already all the talk is of another referendum,what the hell for?

Five years ago our present Government promised a referendum of Europe if we put them in to office, they lied,we are still waiting. This means that we are tied in to a union with countries who's finances are in melt down. Greece Portugal, Spain, Italy and many others are bankrupt, and our leaders would like to strengthen this strangle hold,it's crazy.

If you were ship wrecked and had made it to a lifeboat would you then tie your boat to the prow of the sinking ship....of course not..... well this is the same thing exactly. We are being tied ever more tightly to the sinking ship of Europe, and what is more they expect us to like it!

We need a referendum on Europe and we need it now.

The problem is ,I suspect that Like the Scottish people if we do not vote in the way our Parliament wishes they will keep on holding referendums until we give them the answer they want.

It would suit our Conservative Government and the anti socialist New Labour Party to loose the poorer parts of England, the North East and the Midlands which in places resemble Detroit. The people are leaving in droves because there is no work for them,it's obvious what is really going on.

We should leave Europe while we still can,we fought two wars against European domination and we should not now give them for the asking what they could not take by force of arms.

I sympathise with Scotland’s wish to retain it's identity, as I do Wales and Cornwall. I just ask that while giving them their freedom we do not, by default loose our own.
