BREXIT - TIME FOR A LINE IN THE SAND.

BREXIT – TIME FOR A LINE IN THE SAND.

 

Following all the recent messing about of the UK by the EU it is time that our Prime Minister David Cameron drew a line in the sand. It is time for him to face up to reality and to stop visiting his counterparts around the EU with a begging bowl as we all know that the only person’s vote that matters is that of Angler Merkel, as was seen in the vote for Jean-Claude Junker as President of the European Commission, when she decides how to vote the majority, especially those in the eurozone, will follow her example. He should now issue the EU with a list, including the free movement and immigration controls, of the minimum that the UK will accept to consider remaining a member of the EU. He then needs to put on a white shirt, a red, white and blue striped tie, a union flag lapel badge and get on an aeroplane with the union flag on the tail and go and visit some of our friends around the world to show the people of Great Britain that he is fighting for them and not just for himself.

 

He can then stand tall knowing, that while he would prefer the UK to remain a member of what he considers to be a reformed EU and offering him far better future job prospects, that there is a future for the UK outside of the EU and that he is the person to lead us into that future should the people choose that option. At the moment he appears to be spending too much of his time and effort on what appears to be his desired outcome which could mean that an out vote wouldn’t make him the right person to lead the country into a new and exciting future.

 

We are not a federal state of the EU and I feel that if the people decide to remain a member of the EU that is exactly what we will become and our independence, based on a rich history, will be lost for ever.

A PROBLEM – BUT PARTLY OF OUR OWN MAKING.

A PROBLEM – BUT PARTLY OF OUR OWN MAKING.   

 

We hear how migrants from the EU are flooding into the UK putting pressure on housing, local authorities, schools, social services, the benefit system and taking British jobs. In reality it would appear that over 60% of the migrants from the EU actually have a job offer before they leave their home. The majority of them are being invited to come here and in some cases provided the transport and accommodation.

 

It would appear that British companies, and foreign ones bases here, are advertising their vacancies and using agencies abroad to recruit their staff. They are using the “Free movement of workers” for their own benefit without considering the overall affect on our country. When the work finishes, the job doesn’t work out, the person is removed from the position or in the case of seasonal work the workforce is laid off, the first question that is asked is “where is the benefits office ? ” and they have now become the British taxpayer’s problem.

I was talking to a female Polish truck driver recently who was recruited and brought to the UK. She reckons that she earns three times as much money here, for doing the same job, as she would in Poland. After having been here for a few years she has now decided to make this her home and has recently bought a house and is try to encourage certain members of her family to make the move.

The Prime Minister David Cameron believes that by controlling access to the benefits system he can stem the flow of EU migrants into the UK and he is spending time, which I am sure could be far better spent, travelling around the EU trying to convince his counterparts of his views, to get the changes that he thinks that he needs, to convince the UK public before the referendum. He has lost sight of the only way that we are going to get control of our problems is by controlling FREE MOVEMENT.
