Re: The EU gravy train
Although I was too young to vote when there last was a referendum, still being at Primary school, I wouldn't have voted to join.
What was sold as an economic union, or a Common Market as it was formerly called, is now something very different, whose aim seem to be a United States of Europe, which I very much oppose.
Like her or loath her at least Maggie stood up for this country against the European bureaucrats, and got aour unfairly weighted contribution reduced. No one seems to be standing out corner in Brussels nowadays, certainly not the motley group of political has beens, who seem to make up the largest proportion of out representatives in the European Parliament.
The very term 'European Parliament' sound like an anathema to me, because the British public were never asked if that is what they wanted.
If we were to have another referendum, as was promised but not honoured by the government, I'd vote out, for everything other than the most simple of economic ties.
With countries like Turkey set to join, the situation will only get worse for those countries who end up being the main contributors.
