1 Germany have wanted to rule the unruly Brits for years & caused millions of deaths in 2 world wars.

Germany & France then got their heads together & devised a scheme to solve problems 1 & 2. They created The Common Market & invited us to join which we did, thinking it would be as suggested a large market which would benefit all. Little did we know that it would turn into a what we now call the EUSSR. Germany & France have now achieved what they failed to do by force, Britain is now a satellite of Europe where we assemble European manufacturers goods. What happened to our once proud products like Steel,Shipbuilding, Coal-mining etc.?

Democracy and self-determination
When I saw how the European Union was developing, it was very obvious that what they had in mind was not democratic. I mean, in Britain you vote for the government and therefore the government has to listen to you, and if you don’t like it you can change it. But in Europe all the key positions are appointed, not elected – the Commission, for example. All appointed, not one of them elected.
[..] And my view about the European Union has always been not that I am hostile to foreigners, but that I am in favour of democracy. And I think out of this story we have to find an answer, because I certainly don’t want to live in hostility to the European Union but I think they are building an empire there and they want us to be a part of that empire, and I don’t want that.
