"I tried to think of some reasons to stay but in all honesty there are none " You must have thought long and hard then! But if your choice of reading includes such impartial 'news' sources as Breitbart and UKIP Daily, I guess you aren't really giving the Remain issue much serious thought, and are really just looking for biased media that backs an opinion you've already formed. | |||

She’s certainly been Europe’s lead actor. But her European policies, in the long term, may well destroy the EU, and add more thunder to those calling for Britain to leave. The Commentator – 12 December EU Dictatorship Burns Brightly in Time for Christmas The EU’s new candle directive includes – ‘never leave a burning candle unattended.’ What a waste of money! Huffington Post – 8 December NATO can react to a volatile world — not the EU You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. We live in a volatile and dangerous world.

Huffington Post – 30 October Elephant Trophies, Puppy Trafficking and Cattle to Warzones… The EU’s so-called ‘Good’ Animal Rights Record It is sometimes said the European Union plays a major role in the protection of animals across the globe. However, this is not a subject that critics of the Union put under the microscope on a regular basis. Huffington Post – 26 October On the EU, the CBI speaks for itself, not British interests Ultimately, the CBI has a clear vested interest in the UK remaining in the EU and is being driven by its own desire to maintain its status as the “the UK’s premier business lobbying organisation”. ConservativeHome, 22 October EU chooses corporatism on E-Cigarettes The appalling hypocrisy coming out of Brussels on e-cigarettes poses a clear and present danger to people’s health. The Commentator, 15 October An Open Letter to Megan Dunn, President of the NUS Get Britain Out researcher writes an open letter to pro-EU President of the National Union of Students Huffington Post, 14 October The EU Referendum Is Being Swept Under The Carpet It is clear the gap between the Conservative grassroots and the front bench is getting larger. Breitbart, 9 October Merkel set to win Nobel prize after disastrous year for Europe Why was Merkel in the running? For bringing social devastation to Europe and exacerbating a refugee crisis that is causing mayhem across the continent? The Commentator, 9 October The EU’s betrayal of Britain’s fishing industry The EU’s fisheries policies have been a disaster for Britain, destroying communities along our coasts. The Commentator, 2 October The EU is no Friend of Britain’s Small Businesses Why does the EU raise barriers to entry for our small businesses struggling to get a foothold? Breitbart London, 30 September Barmy Brussels Latest Call for Gender Equality Our campaign to Get Britain Out has revealed to the Daily Express Brussels politicians want schoolboys to learn about vacuum cleaning and dusting as part of a drive against “sexist” education. Textbooks that reinforce old-fashioned stereotypes about male and female roles would also be banned under a package backed in the European Parliament. Daily Express, 11 September Another nail in the coffin of Cameron’s EU promise The total chaos surrounding the migration crisis is a disaster for everyone involved. And so is the nature of the debate. The reality is that we must get Britain out of the EU if we are going to begin solving the problem. The Commentator, 8 September Germany stirs political turmoil in Greece… again! The appalling attacks on Greek democracy by the German-led EU are a stark illustration of precisely why we need to get Britain out as soon as possible. The Commentator, 4 September Europhile Glee for Obama is Naive US President Barack Obama recently said: “Having the United Kingdom in the European Union gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union.” thereby charging headlong into the minefield of Anglo-European relations. The Great British public must not be fooled by such impulsive comments. Breitbart London, 17 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. Better Off Out, 14 August David Cameron’s Renegotiation is Already Dead Some Eurosceptics are taking the “wait and see” approach, while David Cameron’s renegotiation on the terms of our EU membership goes on, under the illusion he might secure some adequate reforms. Now some ministers are beginning to realise he can’t deliver on his promises. Breitbart London, 14 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. The Commentator, 12 August Lynton Crosby’s poll is a headache for Cameron Lynton Crosby, mastermind of the Tory election victory, recently presented a secret poll to David Cameron on why and how he won. Key findings on the public’s concerns about the EU and immigration will haunt the Prime Minister in his vain efforts for a substantial renegotiation with Brussels. The Commentator, 4 August Has the Troika destroyed Greece? In recent days and weeks, we have seen the financial and political elite of Europe humiliate Greece with the country’s economy collapsing before our eyes. The Commentator, 24 July Declining EU is Overrated as a Trading Power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. It is the past. The Commentator, 23 July Will Britain Face The Same EU Dilemma As Greece? With Greek MPs being given the choice between giving up sovereignty or leaving the eurozone the UK should beware of a similar ultimatum being one day issued to them concerning their membership of the EU. Breitbart London, 23 July Declining EU is overrated as a trading power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. The Commentator, 23 July EU Uses Fear of Terror to Expand its Surveillance Powers Over growing fears of Islamist terror attacks, the EU is exploiting public fear to expand its surveillance capabilities. This conceited effort to override current national co-operation is not the solution. Breitbart London, 22 July Brussels Belittles Women with PC-Crusade Against the “Glass Ceiling” The EU has proposed imposing bizarre new measures to encourage more women to stay in science and technical careers, citing a “glass ceiling” holding back their advancement. It will surprise absolutely no one the measures reek of misguided political correctness. Breitbart London, 14 July EU tyranny finally crushes the birthplace of democracy The big lesson the EU has “learned” from the Greek crisis is that the democratic will of the people must be suppressed even further. As Brussels crushes democracy in its birthplace, the seeds of a neo-authoritarian superstate have been definitively sown. The Commentator, 14 July UK’s success means EU contributions rise by over £3 billion It is clear the EU has very little interest in David Cameron’s renegotiation process, as they are far more concerned with saving the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Brussels keeps punishing Britain for its economic success, demanding soaring contributions. The Commentator, 10 July Greece’s brave choice – “OXI” to the tyrannical EU We in Britain will soon be facing our In/Out referendum. Let the Greeks inspire us to fight to get Britain out of the tyrannical EU. The Commentator, 7 July Business Secretary Slaps Down Europhile Business Group Business Secretary Sajid Javid has fired a shot across the bows of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) regarding its recent claim Britain should remain in the European Union “no matter what”. Breitbart London, 3 July Vicious EU will let Athens burn for failed Euro dystopia As the EU’s neo-authoritarian clown in chief Jean-Claude Juncker intimidates Greece for the cheek of consulting the people, it’s now clear Brussels will burn Athens to the ground rather than admit their disastrous mistake of creating the dystopian Eurozone. The Commentator, 3 July EU wants control over our holiday snaps, amazingly enough Astounding as it may sound, the EU is considering proposals which could ban people from taking photos of iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, without copyright permission. The real motivation is an oppressive attack on social media. The Commentator, 1 July Distant Strasbourg Lawyers Do Not Guarantee Britain’s Rights During the celebrations of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we would do well to remember Britain’s civil and tolerant nature derives from our own traditions and not those handed down to us by the Eurocrats. Breitbart London, 21 June EU Commissioners Exploit Defence to Push Federalism Following EU President Jean-Claude Juncker’s call for an EU army, the European Parliament voted to implement the Common Security and Defence Policy last week. Breitbart London, 12 June No Signs of EU Reform Yet as Brussels Remains Belligerent As David Cameron continues his tour of European capitals, the EU cannot help but send out terrible signals to the British electorate. Breitbart London, 2 June Pro-EU SNP and Plaid aim to destroy Britain but lose independence The pro-EU SNP and Plaid Cymru want to break up Britain and cause havoc with Labour on the way. But don’t for a second think they want real self-determination. If they did, they wouldn’t be planning to turn Scotland and Wales into client states of Brussels. It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU. In light of this, it is unsurprising Brussels is now pushing for an integrated “European culture” programme to convince the Great British Public of our shared European culture. Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership. But aside from this, what are the EU policies of the other parties? Breitbart, 18 April Juncker drops EU renegotiation bombshell on Cameron It is official: David Cameron’s renegotiations are over before they have even begun. Yesterday unelected European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker announced there will be no changes to EU Treaties whilst he is in office. The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item. In any event, the famous tampon tax can’t be abolished unless we quit the EU, which we should do as soon as possible. The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries. Breitbart London, 9 April EU to Switch Off British Film Industry The fanatics in the European Commission now have their sights set on the UK television, film and music industries. The Commentator, 8 April Rampant Sexism in EU Institutions A gender equality investigation of key EU institutions by Get Britain Out has discovered that the bureaucrats of the EU are failing to practice what they preach. Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another. The Conservative Woman, 12 March An EU Army: a tragedy for our armed forces It becomes ever clearer why our armed forces are being cut to the bone. If we are heading to a federal Europe, we are going to get a European defence force, however useless it may be. The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape. By introducing a tax on British cider producers, Brussels is not only attacking the manufacturers, but the majority of British adults who enjoy cider, as well as scrumpy. Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU. What principle of justice prioritises Europeans over Indians and Canadians? None. It’s just bigotry. The Commentator, 5 March Putin is a nightmare, but the EU is making matters worse The brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov reminds us of just how different British and Russian political values are. This, however, does not mean we should allow the EU to stir up geopolitical and other problems we just don’t need. Britain would be far better making its own Russia policy, not being a slave to Brussels. The Commentator, 3 March The Church of England and the Archbishop of Brussels The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Left-wing bishops who run the Church of England, have published a 52-page pastoral letter stacked with leftist clichés, which calls for Britain to remain in the EU. Breitbart London, 25 February British government stifles EU debate The reasons the government is giving for blanking out debate on the EU in the run-up to the general election are frankly absurd. Why are they running away from this huge issue? The Commentator, 22 February The European Union Needs Us More than We Need Them This week EU Trade Commissioner Cecila Malmstroem warned Britain’s exit from the European Union would be a “disaster” both for Britain and the rest of the EU. Breitbart London, 21 February An Ideal EU? Not Likely The reforms outlined by Business for Britain cannot safeguard Britain’s independence. The root of the problem is the EU’s central institutions. It is an old fashioned, out of date model, unfit for the 21st Century. The Commentator, 17 February Wolf Hall: A Eurosceptic Drama At last, a programme which portrays sympathetically the fight for self-determination against continental potentates and their local enthusiasts. Conservative Home, 28 January 2015 EU VAT Rules: A Serious Threat to Small Business Changes to VAT rules will prove catastrophic to small businesses, to the burgeoning market for digital goods, and especially to women. UKIP Daily, 23 January 2015 Latest EU madness threatens our NHS Last week the Commons discussed the proposed EU-US free trade agreement. One of the most important aspects discussed was how the Treaty would impact the NHS. Brussels whacks Britain yet again. Let’s Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 19 January 2015 EU in the latest disastrous move to destroy small businesses Yet again, the European Union has blundered into legislation which will make life for small business a nightmare.This time it’s the turn of online business to be clobbered, and then strangled in growth and innovation destroying red tape. The Commentator, 15 January 2015 Cameron Bars Eurosceptic Ministers From Referendum David Cameron’s move to block ministers in a future Conservative government from campaigning to quit the EU is a sign of weakness. The Commentator, 5 January 2015 British Public Declare: “We Are not Europeans” Asked how European they saw themselves, 58 percent of Brits replied they saw themselves just as British and not as European. Breitbart, 24 December 2014 Santa won’t visit the EU, but a Eurosceptic Pope did The Pope, in his wisdom, gave the EU a stern warning — it has lost its way. The Commentator, 24 December 2014 Letting Turkey into the EU would be a disaster David Cameron has announced it is still his ‘long-standing goal’ to bring Turkey into the European Union – despite the complete disaster this would be for Britain. Breitbart, 12 December 2014 More Outrageous EU Demands Whenever Eurocrats realise their ambitious spending commitments cannot be fulfilled, they casually raid Britain’s coffers while our political classes do little more than fake outrage and horror. It will only stop of we Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 12 December 2014 EU migrants make up just four percent of the NHS workforce Recent research by Get Britain Out reveals the claim the NHS relies on EU migrant labour is just another attempt to peddle the myth Britain needs the European Union. Breitbart, 6 December 2014 Britain is strong enough to thrive outside the EU No-one thinks Britain is out of it yer, but as the UK creams the Eurozone in economic performance, we are reminded that the scaremongers in Brussels have nothing to give, and we must Get Britain Out of the EU, pronto! The Commentator, 5 December 2014 Fishy EU goes fishing at Britain’s expense To stop the fishing industry around our shores from perishing and to secure our fishing waters from exploitation, it is essential we must Get Britain Out of the EU. The Commentator, 3 December 2014 Cameron’s EU Immigration reforms will achieve nothing Cameron has finally proposed how he intends to try and reform EU immigration – but he has merely shown yet again he is completely out of touch with the needs of the Great British Public. Breitbart, 29 November 2014 Cameron’s EU speech: Wishful thinking and deception Cameron, as we saw in Friday’s speech, exemplifies much of what is wrong with British politics: the utter lack of conviction. Knee-jerk reactions and smoke-and-mirrors fool no one. Rather than persisting in the fantasy of a reformed EU, we must Get Britain Out, The Commentator, 29 November 2014 The EU: Watering a Dead Tree Europe’s economy is still on its knees, but the EU’s political classes have learned nothing from their self-inflicted folly. If your house has been burned down, the last thing to do is to mistake the arsonists for the firemen. The most pragmatic move is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 28 November 2014 The EU CAP damages developing economies – and ours We are still paying £11.3 billion a year to be part of a club which cuts the disposable income of the neediest in our society. Left Foot Forward, 28 November 2014 EU Puff, Smoke and Mirrors If we really want to stop being taxed for being successful, the only answer is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 18 November 2014 Time to hold the EU to account For the 19th year in a row, auditors have failed to sign off the EU’s accounts. What on earth is Britain doing staying part of this farce? The Commentator, 7 November 2014 As Commonwealth exports soar, economic case for leaving European Union grows The day our trade with the Anglosphere and Commonwealth eclipses our trade with Brussels is coming ever closer. Breitbart, 1 November 2014 Ditch anti-democratic Lib Dems for EU referendum Calling Nick Clegg and his band of wet europhiles Liberal Democrats is like calling the British National Party the Racial Harmony Party. The Commentator, 1 November 2014 Another EU rip-off While the EU is trying to rip Britain off, yet again, thousands of Eurocrats earn more than most heads of government. There is vast waste on much more besides. Britain has simply got to leave. The Commentator, 30 October 2014 Its official: There is no hope for EU reform It might have gone unnoticed by most but the handover of power in Brussels is complete: we officially have a new government ruling the federal state of which we are effectively a part. Breitbart, 23 October 2014 Caps on EU migrants are illegal. Got that Dave? The Great British Public should not fall for Cameron’s parlour trick. Any current plans to cap EU migrants will be illegal under EU law and are not deliverable until after successfully severing our ties to Brussels by getting out of the EU. The Commentator, 21 October 2014 Enforced at last: Britain’s EU referendum bill Finally, we are one step closer to a guaranteed EU referendum in 2017 beung enshrined in law. Breitbart, 18 October 2014 UKIP could support Tory minority for July 2015 EU referendum As the UKIP bandwagon rolls on, the prospect of UKIP holding the balance of power in the 2015 general election is becoming less and less impossible. Breitbart, 17 October 2014 Cameron’s EU budget cuts are a mirage Yet again, David Cameron’s half-baked promises on Europe amount to nonsense. Theres only one way for Britain, and thats out of the EU. The Commentator, 5 October 2014 After Scotland, no excuses against an EU referendum Everyone has praised the democratic marvel of Scotland’s referendum. Labour, Lib Dems and dithering Tories now have no excuse whatsoever for opposing a referendum on whether Britain stays in or quits the EU. The Commentator, 19 September 2014 Europe’s youth are being conned At Get Britain Out, we have long argued that the European Union is completely out of touch. In Brussels today (17 Sep), whilst discussing the EU’s flagship “Youth Unemployment Initiative”, the Eurocrats did nothing to change our mind. UKIP Daily, 18 September 2014 As independence looms large, the Centre cannot hold National independence movements are on the rise across Europe. From Scotland to Spain – as the European Union’s stranglehold hardens, demands for sovereignty are becoming even more vocal. Breitbart, 17 September 2014 European Parliamentarians’ fingers in the till Members of the European Parliament already get expense accounts and salaries off the scale, but now they’re just taking the … well you know what. The Commentator, 16 September 2014 The fight against EU immigration is a fight for our national character We don’t need lectures from Commissioner Andor on how Britain should be run, even if he feels entitled to share his opinion. Conservative Woman, 16 September 2014 EU membership is a threat to our national security Hard as it is for the Eurocrats of Brussels to accept, it is NATO, not the EU, which has kept peace in Europe for the last 70 years. Conservative Home, 11 September 2014 The EU’s Cynical Ruse With the EU’s latest sly ruse, David Cameron, along with the rest of the political establishment, has been outfoxed by an age-old game of expectation management. The Commentator, 11 September 2014 Shame of fake EU Climate Change “aid” to Third World It is quite staggering that the EU is “helping” poverty stricken countries in Africa by pumping taxpayers’ money into, wait for it, “green energy”. The figures have to be seen to be believed. The Commentator, 9 September 2014 Energy prices continue to rise thanks to the Luddite EU The greatest harm inflicted by the EU’s energy policies is more than mere stifling of consumer choice, but in making energy more expensive, increasing household energy bills and devastating industry. Breitbart, 6 September 2014 ‘Lord Who’ Given Minor EU Portfolio: Slap Down For Cameron Today, a leaked EU document crushed David Cameron’s hopes for an important economic portfolio for his EU Commission nominee, Lord Hill. Breitbart, 4 September 2014 British influence in Brussels. What British influence? As a new study shows, the vast majority of British objections to Brussels policies are completely ignored. Europhiles who say we have to stay in the EU to protect our “influence” are, as usual, totally deluded. The Commentator, 3 September 2014 EU remains ‘Hungary’ for British money In the last month, Britain has contributed over 10 billion pounds to help fight unemployment in four other EU states. Breitbart, 2 September 2014 Immigration reform is impossible in the EU There is no way around this one, and the latest figures confirm the point: We can’t be members of the EU and control our immigration. The Commentator, 31 August 2014 Leaving the EU is the only way to cut immigration It has become a familiar routine to hear Cameron plead he can reduce net migration, and for the Office of National Statistics to publish figures which reveal the futility of his efforts. Breitbart, 31 August 2014 Juncker’s tokenism over female appointments is another reason for our quitting the EU The Treaty on European Union states one of the EU’s most important purposes is to “combat discrimination”, so why is Juncker threatening to block male EU Commissioners from the top jobs? The Conservative Woman, 27 August 2014 Retired Eurocrats get their snouts in the trough As British pensioners feel the pinch, there’s no austerity in Brussels. The European Commission has been caught shamefully splashing out billions more to line the pockets of retired EU cronies. The Commentator, 24 August 2014 Britain’s Influence in Brussels Waning Britain’s clout in the EU continues to wane, making Cameron’s renegotiation, previously an unrealistic ambition, utterly impossible. Breitbart, 19 August 2014 Killing the EU “3 Million Jobs” whopper for good A schoolboy economics student, though maybe not a Lib Dem cabinet minister, could tell you the idea we’d lose 3 million jobs if we quit the EU is rubbish. The Commentator, 18 August 2014 How the European Union is a threat to vital, scientific research In a joint letter, twenty-eight of Europe’s leading academics have warned that European Union data protection laws risk harming vital research, especially social and health-related studies. Breitbart, 17 August 2014 The EU wants to destroy the City As well as pure envy at our extraordinary success, EU attacks on the City are inspired by long-standing hostility to the “Anglo-American” model.

The Commentator, 25 July 2014 UK Government confirms huge abuse of EU free movement rules The report exposes how criminals are using this EU law to “import human trafficking victims, illegal immigrants as well as illicit commodities, including rugs and counterfeit goods”. Breitbart, 24 July 2014 Keep your eye on the ball. The real story is Europe The actual vote by the European Parliament, confirming the election of Juncker as President, was barely mentioned. Such is the anti-democratic nature of the EU. The Commentator, 21 July 2014 The EU’s ‘Free’ Trade Treaty Will Enslave Britain With the latest round of negotiations for the new EU-US trade treaty starting on Monday, left-wing activists are finally waking up to the threat the EU poses to the rights of the British working class.

Little did we know that this is not just a figure of speech The Commentator 4 July 2014 Britain’s Natural Home is the Commonwealth, not the EU A deep divide is growing between Britain and the EU as the latter piles on regulations in the name of the Single Market.

"I tried to think of some reasons to stay but in all honesty there are none You must have thought long and hard then! But if your choice of reading includes such impartial 'news' sources as Breitbart and UKIP Daily, I guess you aren't really giving the Remain issue much serious thought, and are really just looking for biased media that backs an opinion you've already formed." I did find the sources quoted somewhat questionable. | |||

"IMMIGRATION Britain has given away control of immigration within the EU to the EU, and retains the power only to control non-EU immigration. This has led to huge disparities where Commonwealth citizens with family in Britain struggle to obtain visas whilst EU citizens with little link with the UK can automatically work here. It has also contributed to the largest ever inflows into the UK in our history, with the UK population rising by 4 million from 1997, which is only slightly less than the entire population of (Southern) Ireland moving to the UK in that timescale, and that figure is the net figure, which does not take into account the economic, social and cultural impacts of a mass outflow of British citizens to settle abroad. The British population used to be stable of about 58 million, and it is uncontrolled immigration that has driven the population up rapidly to the current 62 million (ONS figures). Leaving the EU will empower Britain to adopt the more balanced and more tightly controlled immigration policy, similar to the Australian visa-based system. This visa system could set down the number of visas available according to UK needs and the ability of public services, housing and infrastructure on a very crowded island to cope. It is likely that certain EU nation states will enjoy visa waiver schemes (in reality there is less need for visas with nations with comparative economic profiles such as France, Germany and Holland, the biggest inflows have been from former Communist states). In the EU, all the EU citizens have the right to move to the UK regardless of skill needs. This has resulted in the equivalent of a new city the size of York arriving every year. With easier travel for North African countries and the prospect of Turkey’s 79 million citizens being given the right to work in the EU, the scale of uncontrolled immigration is likely to worsen considerably unless the UK withdraws rapidly. Better controls over criminal elements coming into the UK, difficult under the EU’s open door approach, can be enhanced too "Did that come from some UKIP publicity? | |||

Reasons to leave / vote out well here are a few; Reasons to stay in EU Non worth mentioning Reasons to leave the EU; voting out British farmers will fare best from Brexit British farmers are being ripped off by the EU. Project Fear is trying to scare farmers, and everyone else, into thinking it will all go to pot if we Brexit. It won’t. A brighter, more prosperous future awaits, which is why we must get Britain out. 8 April – The Commentator The EU Bows Down to Turkey’s Dictatorial Demands The horrendous attacks in Brussels last week understandably dominated the news. The slaughter of innocent civilians in yet another of Europe’s capitals has left many questioning how exactly our membership of the EU makes us safer. 30 March – Breitbart London A Fair Immigration System Outside the EU Whatever the UK’s immigration policy, it should be decided by our own representatives in Westminster. 25 March – The Commentator Brussels Turns on E-Cigarette Smokers You may have been amazed to hear plans of a tax hike from Brussels which will send the price of e-cigarettes sky-high. 5 March – UKIP Daily Tobacco Lobbyists Puff-Up eCigarette Prices Whilst reading the paper on yesterday morning’s commute into work, you may have been amazed to read plans of a tax hike from Brussels which will send the price of e-cigarettes sky-high. 3 March – Huffington Post Young Britons Hold the Key to Brexit Door With a huge 31% of 18-24 year olds admitting they could decide to vote to Leave the EU, and with a further 10% totally undecided, young people could play a big part in the EU referendum. 20 February – Breitbart London Trade figures prove Britain’s future lies outside the EU Britain’s trade figures released by the ONS last week have provided further evidence of how the nation’s trading future lies outside the EU. 15 February – The Commentator The EU’s Open Border Experiment is Collapsing With only one month of 2016 gone it seems the collapse of the Schengen Zone is imminent. Border controls across Europe are being reinstated as nations finally realise they need to think independently. They are realising this is the only way they can truly protect their citizens. 12 February – Brexit magazine (Issue 10) Best Bet for Boris is Brexit Leading the Leave campaign is Boris’ best chance of succeeding David Cameron. 5 February – Breitbart London Greece is the sacrificial lamb of the EU once again Now that Angela Merkel and the European Commission have created the mother of all crises over refugees, they’re out to punish Greece, making the country the sacrifical lamb for their own incompetence. Let’s get Britain out of this mess as soon as possible. 5 February – The Commentator The EU Needs Britain? TOUGH! As we approach the European Council summit on February 18th and 19th, the renegotiation rhetoric we are used to hearing from the Prime Minister is intensifying. 2 February – Huffington Post No, Brexit won’t harm or downgrade Britain abroad Third rate analysts in tandem with Europhile scaremongerers say Britain will lose influence in the world after Brexit. The exact oppositie is true: a globaly-oriented Britain will be free from the narrow and insular regionalism of Brussels. The Commentator It’s Time to Rewrite Britain’s History When the time comes, the Great British Public should take note of the Prime Minister’s own words in 2014 – and vote to allow Britain to create its own history 22 January – Huffington Post The EU Sets us Further Apart, Not Closer The EU is the cause of rising tensions across the continent, not the solution. 14 January – Huffington Post Denmark and Sweden Add to the Downfall of the Schengen Agreement It’s the beginning of the New Year, and just days into January the Schengen Zone is under even more strain. 11 January – Breitbart London Con-man Dave set to influence EU referendum With the opinion polls finely balanced on the question of whether Britain should quit the European Union it looks as though David Cameron has concluded he only has one option: cheat. 24 December – The Commentator Why the Left Should Leave the EU Too Euroscepticism is often seen as right-wing and populist. This is far from the case. 23 December – Huffington Post EU’s Response to Terrorism is a Massive Privacy Power Grab The EU’s response to the latest terror threats is not only a mere gesture, but an invasion of your liberties. 18 December – Breitbart London The EU – Doomed From the Start When a state is an invented entity with no strong internal ties – when people are forced together under one banner – then that state is doomed to fail from the start. 17 December – Huffington Post Brexit won’t Sour UK – US Relations Contrary to claims from the pro EU lobby in both sides of the Atlantic, the ‘Special Relationship’ would thrive after Brexit. 16 December – The Commentator Britain Deserves Truth On Immigration The only way for the British government to satisfy the public’s needs when it comes to immigration is getting net migration down to the tens of thousands as promised, and not the hundreds. 12 December – Breitbart London Time will not prove as kind to Angela Merkel Time Magazine has named Angela Merkel Person of the Year. She’s certainly been Europe’s lead actor. But her European policies, in the long term, may well destroy the EU, and add more thunder to those calling for Britain to leave. The Commentator – 12 December EU Dictatorship Burns Brightly in Time for Christmas The EU’s new candle directive includes – ‘never leave a burning candle unattended.’ What a waste of money! Huffington Post – 8 December NATO can react to a volatile world — not the EU You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. We live in a volatile and dangerous world. NATO is our best bet, and the EU is a liability. The Commentator – 3 December Scotland Could Thrive Outside the EU It’s time for Scotland, as well as the United Kingdom, to leave the European Union and take advantage of the Global Market Huffington Post – 3 December The EU’s New Turkish Deal Brings Insecurity For Europe What a change a few months make. Earlier this year Angela Merkel, the Puppet-Master of Europe, took the unprecedented step of suspending the Dublin II accord by welcoming an unlimited number of Syrians to Germany. Now she has led the EU to make a highly unfavorable deal with Turkey in a misguided attempt to solve the crisis. Breitbart London – 1 December Age of Austerity? EU doesn’t know what it means! The EU can only drive bindfold towards a single destination: the Federal United States of Europe. The latest increase in the EU budget is another reason to get Britain out as soon as possible. The Commentator – 20 November What a Load of EU Sewage Eurosceptics are fond of saying that the EU is flushing our money down the toilet. But in this case from Greece, it is (almost) literally true. The Commentator – 13 November No Light at the End of the Tunnel for the EU’s Youth Just like many countries on the continent, Britain’s youth is finally realising, the only way to truly solve this crisis is to Get Britain Out of the EU. Huffington Post – 12 November The EU’s €1 Million a Day Migrant Relocation Programme Today Greece will send its first group of 30 migrants to Luxembourg – part of an extremely expensive European Union (EU) relocation plan – as the cost of the migrant crisis keeps on increasing. Breitbart London – 4 November This Debate Is About the EU, Not About Europe Let’s set this record straight – we love ‘Europe’. We just hate the EU! Huffington Post – 30 October Elephant Trophies, Puppy Trafficking and Cattle to Warzones… The EU’s so-called ‘Good’ Animal Rights Record It is sometimes said the European Union plays a major role in the protection of animals across the globe. However, this is not a subject that critics of the Union put under the microscope on a regular basis. Huffington Post – 26 October On the EU, the CBI speaks for itself, not British interests Ultimately, the CBI has a clear vested interest in the UK remaining in the EU and is being driven by its own desire to maintain its status as the “the UK’s premier business lobbying organisation”. ConservativeHome, 22 October EU chooses corporatism on E-Cigarettes The appalling hypocrisy coming out of Brussels on e-cigarettes poses a clear and present danger to people’s health. The Commentator, 15 October An Open Letter to Megan Dunn, President of the NUS Get Britain Out researcher writes an open letter to pro-EU President of the National Union of Students Huffington Post, 14 October The EU Referendum Is Being Swept Under The Carpet It is clear the gap between the Conservative grassroots and the front bench is getting larger. Breitbart, 9 October Merkel set to win Nobel prize after disastrous year for Europe Why was Merkel in the running? For bringing social devastation to Europe and exacerbating a refugee crisis that is causing mayhem across the continent? The Commentator, 9 October The EU’s betrayal of Britain’s fishing industry The EU’s fisheries policies have been a disaster for Britain, destroying communities along our coasts. The Commentator, 2 October The EU is no Friend of Britain’s Small Businesses Why does the EU raise barriers to entry for our small businesses struggling to get a foothold? Breitbart London, 30 September Barmy Brussels Latest Call for Gender Equality Our campaign to Get Britain Out has revealed to the Daily Express Brussels politicians want schoolboys to learn about vacuum cleaning and dusting as part of a drive against “sexist” education. Textbooks that reinforce old-fashioned stereotypes about male and female roles would also be banned under a package backed in the European Parliament. Daily Express, 11 September Another nail in the coffin of Cameron’s EU promise The total chaos surrounding the migration crisis is a disaster for everyone involved. And so is the nature of the debate. The reality is that we must get Britain out of the EU if we are going to begin solving the problem. The Commentator, 8 September Germany stirs political turmoil in Greece… again! The appalling attacks on Greek democracy by the German-led EU are a stark illustration of precisely why we need to get Britain out as soon as possible. The Commentator, 4 September Europhile Glee for Obama is Naive US President Barack Obama recently said: “Having the United Kingdom in the European Union gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union.” thereby charging headlong into the minefield of Anglo-European relations. The Great British public must not be fooled by such impulsive comments. Breitbart London, 17 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. Better Off Out, 14 August David Cameron’s Renegotiation is Already Dead Some Eurosceptics are taking the “wait and see” approach, while David Cameron’s renegotiation on the terms of our EU membership goes on, under the illusion he might secure some adequate reforms. Now some ministers are beginning to realise he can’t deliver on his promises. Breitbart London, 14 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. The Commentator, 12 August Lynton Crosby’s poll is a headache for Cameron Lynton Crosby, mastermind of the Tory election victory, recently presented a secret poll to David Cameron on why and how he won. Key findings on the public’s concerns about the EU and immigration will haunt the Prime Minister in his vain efforts for a substantial renegotiation with Brussels. The Commentator, 4 August Has the Troika destroyed Greece? In recent days and weeks, we have seen the financial and political elite of Europe humiliate Greece with the country’s economy collapsing before our eyes. The Commentator, 24 July Declining EU is Overrated as a Trading Power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. It is the past. The Commentator, 23 July Will Britain Face The Same EU Dilemma As Greece? With Greek MPs being given the choice between giving up sovereignty or leaving the eurozone the UK should beware of a similar ultimatum being one day issued to them concerning their membership of the EU. Breitbart London, 23 July Declining EU is overrated as a trading power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. The Commentator, 23 July EU Uses Fear of Terror to Expand its Surveillance Powers Over growing fears of Islamist terror attacks, the EU is exploiting public fear to expand its surveillance capabilities. This conceited effort to override current national co-operation is not the solution. Breitbart London, 22 July Brussels Belittles Women with PC-Crusade Against the “Glass Ceiling” The EU has proposed imposing bizarre new measures to encourage more women to stay in science and technical careers, citing a “glass ceiling” holding back their advancement. It will surprise absolutely no one the measures reek of misguided political correctness. Breitbart London, 14 July EU tyranny finally crushes the birthplace of democracy The big lesson the EU has “learned” from the Greek crisis is that the democratic will of the people must be suppressed even further. As Brussels crushes democracy in its birthplace, the seeds of a neo-authoritarian superstate have been definitively sown. The Commentator, 14 July UK’s success means EU contributions rise by over £3 billion It is clear the EU has very little interest in David Cameron’s renegotiation process, as they are far more concerned with saving the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Brussels keeps punishing Britain for its economic success, demanding soaring contributions. The Commentator, 10 July Greece’s brave choice – “OXI” to the tyrannical EU We in Britain will soon be facing our In/Out referendum. Let the Greeks inspire us to fight to get Britain out of the tyrannical EU. The Commentator, 7 July Business Secretary Slaps Down Europhile Business Group Business Secretary Sajid Javid has fired a shot across the bows of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) regarding its recent claim Britain should remain in the European Union “no matter what”. Breitbart London, 3 July Vicious EU will let Athens burn for failed Euro dystopia As the EU’s neo-authoritarian clown in chief Jean-Claude Juncker intimidates Greece for the cheek of consulting the people, it’s now clear Brussels will burn Athens to the ground rather than admit their disastrous mistake of creating the dystopian Eurozone. The Commentator, 3 July EU wants control over our holiday snaps, amazingly enough Astounding as it may sound, the EU is considering proposals which could ban people from taking photos of iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, without copyright permission. The real motivation is an oppressive attack on social media. The Commentator, 1 July Distant Strasbourg Lawyers Do Not Guarantee Britain’s Rights During the celebrations of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we would do well to remember Britain’s civil and tolerant nature derives from our own traditions and not those handed down to us by the Eurocrats. Breitbart London, 21 June EU Commissioners Exploit Defence to Push Federalism Following EU President Jean-Claude Juncker’s call for an EU army, the European Parliament voted to implement the Common Security and Defence Policy last week. Breitbart London, 12 June No Signs of EU Reform Yet as Brussels Remains Belligerent As David Cameron continues his tour of European capitals, the EU cannot help but send out terrible signals to the British electorate. Breitbart London, 2 June Pro-EU SNP and Plaid aim to destroy Britain but lose independence The pro-EU SNP and Plaid Cymru want to break up Britain and cause havoc with Labour on the way. But don’t for a second think they want real self-determination. If they did, they wouldn’t be planning to turn Scotland and Wales into client states of Brussels. It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU. In light of this, it is unsurprising Brussels is now pushing for an integrated “European culture” programme to convince the Great British Public of our shared European culture. Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership. But aside from this, what are the EU policies of the other parties? Breitbart, 18 April Juncker drops EU renegotiation bombshell on Cameron It is official: David Cameron’s renegotiations are over before they have even begun. Yesterday unelected European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker announced there will be no changes to EU Treaties whilst he is in office. The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item. In any event, the famous tampon tax can’t be abolished unless we quit the EU, which we should do as soon as possible. The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries. Breitbart London, 9 April EU to Switch Off British Film Industry The fanatics in the European Commission now have their sights set on the UK television, film and music industries. The Commentator, 8 April Rampant Sexism in EU Institutions A gender equality investigation of key EU institutions by Get Britain Out has discovered that the bureaucrats of the EU are failing to practice what they preach. Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another. The Conservative Woman, 12 March An EU Army: a tragedy for our armed forces It becomes ever clearer why our armed forces are being cut to the bone. If we are heading to a federal Europe, we are going to get a European defence force, however useless it may be. The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape. By introducing a tax on British cider producers, Brussels is not only attacking the manufacturers, but the majority of British adults who enjoy cider, as well as scrumpy. Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU. What principle of justice prioritises Europeans over Indians and Canadians? None. It’s just bigotry. The Commentator, 5 March Putin is a nightmare, but the EU is making matters worse The brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov reminds us of just how different British and Russian political values are. This, however, does not mean we should allow the EU to stir up geopolitical and other problems we just don’t need. Britain would be far better making its own Russia policy, not being a slave to Brussels. The Commentator, 3 March The Church of England and the Archbishop of Brussels The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Left-wing bishops who run the Church of England, have published a 52-page pastoral letter stacked with leftist clichés, which calls for Britain to remain in the EU. Breitbart London, 25 February British government stifles EU debate The reasons the government is giving for blanking out debate on the EU in the run-up to the general election are frankly absurd. Why are they running away from this huge issue? The Commentator, 22 February The European Union Needs Us More than We Need Them This week EU Trade Commissioner Cecila Malmstroem warned Britain’s exit from the European Union would be a “disaster” both for Britain and the rest of the EU. Breitbart London, 21 February An Ideal EU? Not Likely The reforms outlined by Business for Britain cannot safeguard Britain’s independence. The root of the problem is the EU’s central institutions. It is an old fashioned, out of date model, unfit for the 21st Century. The Commentator, 17 February Wolf Hall: A Eurosceptic Drama At last, a programme which portrays sympathetically the fight for self-determination against continental potentates and their local enthusiasts. Conservative Home, 28 January 2015 EU VAT Rules: A Serious Threat to Small Business Changes to VAT rules will prove catastrophic to small businesses, to the burgeoning market for digital goods, and especially to women. UKIP Daily, 23 January 2015 Latest EU madness threatens our NHS Last week the Commons discussed the proposed EU-US free trade agreement. One of the most important aspects discussed was how the Treaty would impact the NHS. Brussels whacks Britain yet again. Let’s Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 19 January 2015 EU in the latest disastrous move to destroy small businesses Yet again, the European Union has blundered into legislation which will make life for small business a nightmare.This time it’s the turn of online business to be clobbered, and then strangled in growth and innovation destroying red tape. The Commentator, 15 January 2015 Cameron Bars Eurosceptic Ministers From Referendum David Cameron’s move to block ministers in a future Conservative government from campaigning to quit the EU is a sign of weakness. The Commentator, 5 January 2015 British Public Declare: “We Are not Europeans” Asked how European they saw themselves, 58 percent of Brits replied they saw themselves just as British and not as European. Breitbart, 24 December 2014 Santa won’t visit the EU, but a Eurosceptic Pope did The Pope, in his wisdom, gave the EU a stern warning — it has lost its way. The Commentator, 24 December 2014 Letting Turkey into the EU would be a disaster David Cameron has announced it is still his ‘long-standing goal’ to bring Turkey into the European Union – despite the complete disaster this would be for Britain. Breitbart, 12 December 2014 More Outrageous EU Demands Whenever Eurocrats realise their ambitious spending commitments cannot be fulfilled, they casually raid Britain’s coffers while our political classes do little more than fake outrage and horror. It will only stop of we Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 12 December 2014 EU migrants make up just four percent of the NHS workforce Recent research by Get Britain Out reveals the claim the NHS relies on EU migrant labour is just another attempt to peddle the myth Britain needs the European Union. Breitbart, 6 December 2014 Britain is strong enough to thrive outside the EU No-one thinks Britain is out of it yer, but as the UK creams the Eurozone in economic performance, we are reminded that the scaremongers in Brussels have nothing to give, and we must Get Britain Out of the EU, pronto! The Commentator, 5 December 2014 Fishy EU goes fishing at Britain’s expense To stop the fishing industry around our shores from perishing and to secure our fishing waters from exploitation, it is essential we must Get Britain Out of the EU. The Commentator, 3 December 2014 Cameron’s EU Immigration reforms will achieve nothing Cameron has finally proposed how he intends to try and reform EU immigration – but he has merely shown yet again he is completely out of touch with the needs of the Great British Public. Breitbart, 29 November 2014 Cameron’s EU speech: Wishful thinking and deception Cameron, as we saw in Friday’s speech, exemplifies much of what is wrong with British politics: the utter lack of conviction. Knee-jerk reactions and smoke-and-mirrors fool no one. Rather than persisting in the fantasy of a reformed EU, we must Get Britain Out, The Commentator, 29 November 2014 The EU: Watering a Dead Tree Europe’s economy is still on its knees, but the EU’s political classes have learned nothing from their self-inflicted folly. If your house has been burned down, the last thing to do is to mistake the arsonists for the firemen. The most pragmatic move is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 28 November 2014 The EU CAP damages developing economies – and ours We are still paying £11.3 billion a year to be part of a club which cuts the disposable income of the neediest in our society. Left Foot Forward, 28 November 2014 EU Puff, Smoke and Mirrors If we really want to stop being taxed for being successful, the only answer is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 18 November 2014 Time to hold the EU to account For the 19th year in a row, auditors have failed to sign off the EU’s accounts.

Breitbart, 1 November 2014 Ditch anti-democratic Lib Dems for EU referendum Calling Nick Clegg and his band of wet europhiles Liberal Democrats is like calling the British National Party the Racial Harmony Party. The Commentator, 1 November 2014 Another EU rip-off While the EU is trying to rip Britain off, yet again, thousands of Eurocrats earn more than most heads of government. There is vast waste on much more besides. Britain has simply got to leave. The Commentator, 30 October 2014 Its official: There is no hope for EU reform It might have gone unnoticed by most but the handover of power in Brussels is complete: we officially have a new government ruling the federal state of which we are effectively a part. Breitbart, 23 October 2014 Caps on EU migrants are illegal. Got that Dave? The Great British Public should not fall for Cameron’s parlour trick. Any current plans to cap EU migrants will be illegal under EU law and are not deliverable until after successfully severing our ties to Brussels by getting out of the EU. The Commentator, 21 October 2014 Enforced at last: Britain’s EU referendum bill Finally, we are one step closer to a guaranteed EU referendum in 2017 beung enshrined in law. Breitbart, 18 October 2014 UKIP could support Tory minority for July 2015 EU referendum As the UKIP bandwagon rolls on, the prospect of UKIP holding the balance of power in the 2015 general election is becoming less and less impossible. Breitbart, 17 October 2014 Cameron’s EU budget cuts are a mirage Yet again, David Cameron’s half-baked promises on Europe amount to nonsense. Theres only one way for Britain, and thats out of the EU. The Commentator, 5 October 2014 After Scotland, no excuses against an EU referendum Everyone has praised the democratic marvel of Scotland’s referendum. Labour, Lib Dems and dithering Tories now have no excuse whatsoever for opposing a referendum on whether Britain stays in or quits the EU. The Commentator, 19 September 2014 Europe’s youth are being conned At Get Britain Out, we have long argued that the European Union is completely out of touch. In Brussels today (17 Sep), whilst discussing the EU’s flagship “Youth Unemployment Initiative”, the Eurocrats did nothing to change our mind. UKIP Daily, 18 September 2014 As independence looms large, the Centre cannot hold National independence movements are on the rise across Europe. From Scotland to Spain – as the European Union’s stranglehold hardens, demands for sovereignty are becoming even more vocal. Breitbart, 17 September 2014 European Parliamentarians’ fingers in the till Members of the European Parliament already get expense accounts and salaries off the scale, but now they’re just taking the … well you know what. The Commentator, 16 September 2014 The fight against EU immigration is a fight for our national character We don’t need lectures from Commissioner Andor on how Britain should be run, even if he feels entitled to share his opinion. Conservative Woman, 16 September 2014 EU membership is a threat to our national security Hard as it is for the Eurocrats of Brussels to accept, it is NATO, not the EU, which has kept peace in Europe for the last 70 years. Conservative Home, 11 September 2014 The EU’s Cynical Ruse With the EU’s latest sly ruse, David Cameron, along with the rest of the political establishment, has been outfoxed by an age-old game of expectation management. The Commentator, 11 September 2014 Shame of fake EU Climate Change “aid” to Third World It is quite staggering that the EU is “helping” poverty stricken countries in Africa by pumping taxpayers’ money into, wait for it, “green energy”. The figures have to be seen to be believed. The Commentator, 9 September 2014 Energy prices continue to rise thanks to the Luddite EU The greatest harm inflicted by the EU’s energy policies is more than mere stifling of consumer choice, but in making energy more expensive, increasing household energy bills and devastating industry. Breitbart, 6 September 2014 ‘Lord Who’ Given Minor EU Portfolio: Slap Down For Cameron Today, a leaked EU document crushed David Cameron’s hopes for an important economic portfolio for his EU Commission nominee, Lord Hill. Breitbart, 4 September 2014 British influence in Brussels. What British influence? As a new study shows, the vast majority of British objections to Brussels policies are completely ignored. Europhiles who say we have to stay in the EU to protect our “influence” are, as usual, totally deluded. The Commentator, 3 September 2014 EU remains ‘Hungary’ for British money In the last month, Britain has contributed over 10 billion pounds to help fight unemployment in four other EU states. Breitbart, 2 September 2014 Immigration reform is impossible in the EU There is no way around this one, and the latest figures confirm the point: We can’t be members of the EU and control our immigration. The Commentator, 31 August 2014 Leaving the EU is the only way to cut immigration It has become a familiar routine to hear Cameron plead he can reduce net migration, and for the Office of National Statistics to publish figures which reveal the futility of his efforts. Breitbart, 31 August 2014 Juncker’s tokenism over female appointments is another reason for our quitting the EU The Treaty on European Union states one of the EU’s most important purposes is to “combat discrimination”, so why is Juncker threatening to block male EU Commissioners from the top jobs? The Conservative Woman, 27 August 2014 Retired Eurocrats get their snouts in the trough As British pensioners feel the pinch, there’s no austerity in Brussels. The European Commission has been caught shamefully splashing out billions more to line the pockets of retired EU cronies. The Commentator, 24 August 2014 Britain’s Influence in Brussels Waning Britain’s clout in the EU continues to wane, making Cameron’s renegotiation, previously an unrealistic ambition, utterly impossible. Breitbart, 19 August 2014 Killing the EU “3 Million Jobs” whopper for good A schoolboy economics student, though maybe not a Lib Dem cabinet minister, could tell you the idea we’d lose 3 million jobs if we quit the EU is rubbish. The Commentator, 18 August 2014 How the European Union is a threat to vital, scientific research In a joint letter, twenty-eight of Europe’s leading academics have warned that European Union data protection laws risk harming vital research, especially social and health-related studies. Breitbart, 17 August 2014 The EU wants to destroy the City As well as pure envy at our extraordinary success, EU attacks on the City are inspired by long-standing hostility to the “Anglo-American” model. In contrast to EU statism, that model has the shocking temerity to actually work. The Commentator, 16 August 2014 UK and the EU? Facts, unity, courage will get us out Tim Hedges calls for a united campaign for withdrawal from the EU between thinktanks including the “formidable pressure group” Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 13 August 2014 The Ghost of Lisbon The remaining provisions of that disgrace to democracy known as the EU’s Lisbon Treaty are due to come into force on 1st of November, crippling what little is left of our sovereignty. The Commentator, 11 August 2014 EU chief scientific adviser says her work should be kept secret EU technocrats hate democracy and love secrecy. Now EU chief scientific adviser says the public should not know what advice she gives. Breitbart, 9 August 2014 Boris or not, the Tories will never sell us Euroscepticism again Not for the first time, London Mayor Boris Johnson has waded into the debate over Europe, saying London is better off leaving an ‘unreformed’ European Union (EU) and that there’s no need to fear an EU exit. Breitbart, 6 August 2014 Last orders for arch European federalist Renaming a favourite Eurocrat bar after a relic of 20th century socialism and a proponent of unlimited federalism offers a piquant reminder of why Britain needs to get out of the EU as soon as possible. The Commentator, 3 August 2014 EU says “Hard Cheese” to Swiss Democracy The Swiss voted in a referendum to introduce a quota system on immigration. Very democratic. Which is why the EU hates it and is treating Switzerland with contempt. The Commentator, 28 July 2014 EU ‘grand theft’ of aid budget How the EC pockets aid money meant for the worlds poorest. Parliament Magazine, 28 July 2014 The EU’s tactics over Ukraine are fatally flawed Whatever your position on the Ukraine crisis, it has exposed the utter impotence of the EU and the fatal flaw behind the concept of the European super-state. Breitbart, 25 July 2014 Commonwealth or EU: which is best for Britain’s future? In a decade the Commonwealth will be a bigger economic power than the EU – but we can have free trade relations with both. The Commentator, 25 July 2014 UK Government confirms huge abuse of EU free movement rules The report exposes how criminals are using this EU law to “import human trafficking victims, illegal immigrants as well as illicit commodities, including rugs and counterfeit goods”. Breitbart, 24 July 2014 Keep your eye on the ball. The real story is Europe The actual vote by the European Parliament, confirming the election of Juncker as President, was barely mentioned. Such is the anti-democratic nature of the EU. The Commentator, 21 July 2014 The EU’s ‘Free’ Trade Treaty Will Enslave Britain With the latest round of negotiations for the new EU-US trade treaty starting on Monday, left-wing activists are finally waking up to the threat the EU poses to the rights of the British working class.

Little did we know that this is not just a figure of speech The Commentator 4 July 2014 Britain’s Natural Home is the Commonwealth, not the EU A deep divide is growing between Britain and the EU as the latter piles on regulations in the name of the Single Market. The Commonwealth is the best alternative to EU membership. Breitbart, 4 July 2014 EU Enlargement continues to rile Russia, Putin claims another series of victories While the Ukraine crisis rumbles on, a number of seemingly unconnected events in Eastern Europe are building up increasing instability Breitbart, 29 June 2014 EU doors open to Europe’s trafficking capital If you thought criminal gangs from Romania were a problem you ain’t seen nothing yet. The EU’s latest crazy idea is to bring in Albania, the drug and people trafficking capital of Europe. The Commentator, 27 June 2014 EU ignores 2 million-strong demand for end to embryo research A petition proposing to stop the EU funding the destruction of human embryos has been ignored by the Commission. The Conservative Woman, 7 June 2014 Brazen Brussels milks Britain for more money Make no mistake about it, the latest demand for cash from Brussels is the EU’s petulant and small minded way of slapping the European public across the face for daring to vote against the beloved project The Commentator, 29 May 2014 Britain rejects Cameron’s Renegotiation and Miliband’s Fence Sitting The results say it all. UKIP have topped the European Election results with a 27.5 percent share of the vote, beating both the Labour and Conservative Parties Breitbart, 28 May 2014 Clegg Battered and Bruised by Eurosceptic Majority Twice Nick Clegg attempted to debate Nigel Farage, the champion of the Eurosceptic cause in Britain, and twice he limped back bloodied and humiliated.

The exact oppositie is true: a globaly-oriented Britain will be free from the narrow and insular regionalism of Brussels.

She’s certainly been Europe’s lead actor. But her European policies, in the long term, may well destroy the EU, and add more thunder to those calling for Britain to leave. The Commentator – 12 December EU Dictatorship Burns Brightly in Time for Christmas The EU’s new candle directive includes – ‘never leave a burning candle unattended.’ What a waste of money! Huffington Post – 8 December NATO can react to a volatile world — not the EU You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. We live in a volatile and dangerous world.

However, this is not a subject that critics of the Union put under the microscope on a regular basis. Huffington Post – 26 October On the EU, the CBI speaks for itself, not British interests Ultimately, the CBI has a clear vested interest in the UK remaining in the EU and is being driven by its own desire to maintain its status as the “the UK’s premier business lobbying organisation”.

Breitbart London, 30 September Barmy Brussels Latest Call for Gender Equality Our campaign to Get Britain Out has revealed to the Daily Express Brussels politicians want schoolboys to learn about vacuum cleaning and dusting as part of a drive against “sexist” education. Textbooks that reinforce old-fashioned stereotypes about male and female roles would also be banned under a package backed in the European Parliament. Daily Express, 11 September Another nail in the coffin of Cameron’s EU promise The total chaos surrounding the migration crisis is a disaster for everyone involved. And so is the nature of the debate. The reality is that we must get Britain out of the EU if we are going to begin solving the problem. The Commentator, 8 September Germany stirs political turmoil in Greece… again! The appalling attacks on Greek democracy by the German-led EU are a stark illustration of precisely why we need to get Britain out as soon as possible. The Commentator, 4 September Europhile Glee for Obama is Naive US President Barack Obama recently said: “Having the United Kingdom in the European Union gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union.” thereby charging headlong into the minefield of Anglo-European relations. The Great British public must not be fooled by such impulsive comments. Breitbart London, 17 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. Better Off Out, 14 August David Cameron’s Renegotiation is Already Dead Some Eurosceptics are taking the “wait and see” approach, while David Cameron’s renegotiation on the terms of our EU membership goes on, under the illusion he might secure some adequate reforms. Now some ministers are beginning to realise he can’t deliver on his promises. Breitbart London, 14 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. The Commentator, 12 August Lynton Crosby’s poll is a headache for Cameron Lynton Crosby, mastermind of the Tory election victory, recently presented a secret poll to David Cameron on why and how he won. Key findings on the public’s concerns about the EU and immigration will haunt the Prime Minister in his vain efforts for a substantial renegotiation with Brussels. The Commentator, 4 August Has the Troika destroyed Greece? In recent days and weeks, we have seen the financial and political elite of Europe humiliate Greece with the country’s economy collapsing before our eyes. The Commentator, 24 July Declining EU is Overrated as a Trading Power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. It is the past. The Commentator, 23 July Will Britain Face The Same EU Dilemma As Greece? With Greek MPs being given the choice between giving up sovereignty or leaving the eurozone the UK should beware of a similar ultimatum being one day issued to them concerning their membership of the EU. Breitbart London, 23 July Declining EU is overrated as a trading power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. The Commentator, 23 July EU Uses Fear of Terror to Expand its Surveillance Powers Over growing fears of Islamist terror attacks, the EU is exploiting public fear to expand its surveillance capabilities. This conceited effort to override current national co-operation is not the solution. Breitbart London, 22 July Brussels Belittles Women with PC-Crusade Against the “Glass Ceiling” The EU has proposed imposing bizarre new measures to encourage more women to stay in science and technical careers, citing a “glass ceiling” holding back their advancement. It will surprise absolutely no one the measures reek of misguided political correctness. Breitbart London, 14 July EU tyranny finally crushes the birthplace of democracy The big lesson the EU has “learned” from the Greek crisis is that the democratic will of the people must be suppressed even further. As Brussels crushes democracy in its birthplace, the seeds of a neo-authoritarian superstate have been definitively sown. The Commentator, 14 July UK’s success means EU contributions rise by over £3 billion It is clear the EU has very little interest in David Cameron’s renegotiation process, as they are far more concerned with saving the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Brussels keeps punishing Britain for its economic success, demanding soaring contributions. The Commentator, 10 July Greece’s brave choice – “OXI” to the tyrannical EU We in Britain will soon be facing our In/Out referendum. Let the Greeks inspire us to fight to get Britain out of the tyrannical EU.

Breitbart London, 3 July Vicious EU will let Athens burn for failed Euro dystopia As the EU’s neo-authoritarian clown in chief Jean-Claude Juncker intimidates Greece for the cheek of consulting the people, it’s now clear Brussels will burn Athens to the ground rather than admit their disastrous mistake of creating the dystopian Eurozone. The Commentator, 3 July EU wants control over our holiday snaps, amazingly enough Astounding as it may sound, the EU is considering proposals which could ban people from taking photos of iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, without copyright permission. The real motivation is an oppressive attack on social media. The Commentator, 1 July Distant Strasbourg Lawyers Do Not Guarantee Britain’s Rights During the celebrations of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we would do well to remember Britain’s civil and tolerant nature derives from our own traditions and not those handed down to us by the Eurocrats. Breitbart London, 21 June EU Commissioners Exploit Defence to Push Federalism Following EU President Jean-Claude Juncker’s call for an EU army, the European Parliament voted to implement the Common Security and Defence Policy last week. Breitbart London, 12 June No Signs of EU Reform Yet as Brussels Remains Belligerent As David Cameron continues his tour of European capitals, the EU cannot help but send out terrible signals to the British electorate. Breitbart London, 2 June Pro-EU SNP and Plaid aim to destroy Britain but lose independence The pro-EU SNP and Plaid Cymru want to break up Britain and cause havoc with Labour on the way.

It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU. In light of this, it is unsurprising Brussels is now pushing for an integrated “European culture” programme to convince the Great British Public of our shared European culture. Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership. But aside from this, what are the EU policies of the other parties? Breitbart, 18 April Juncker drops EU renegotiation bombshell on Cameron It is official: David Cameron’s renegotiations are over before they have even begun. Yesterday unelected European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker announced there will be no changes to EU Treaties whilst he is in office. The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item. In any event, the famous tampon tax can’t be abolished unless we quit the EU, which we should do as soon as possible. The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries.

The Commentator, 8 April Rampant Sexism in EU Institutions A gender equality investigation of key EU institutions by Get Britain Out has discovered that the bureaucrats of the EU are failing to practice what they preach. Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another.

The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape.

Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU.

The Commentator, 11 September 2014 Shame of fake EU Climate Change “aid” to Third World It is quite staggering that the EU is “helping” poverty stricken countries in Africa by pumping taxpayers’ money into, wait for it, “green energy”.

Breitbart London, 21 June EU Commissioners Exploit Defence to Push Federalism Following EU President Jean-Claude Juncker’s call for an EU army, the European Parliament voted to implement the Common Security and Defence Policy last week. Breitbart London, 12 June No Signs of EU Reform Yet as Brussels Remains Belligerent As David Cameron continues his tour of European capitals, the EU cannot help but send out terrible signals to the British electorate. Breitbart London, 2 June Pro-EU SNP and Plaid aim to destroy Britain but lose independence The pro-EU SNP and Plaid Cymru want to break up Britain and cause havoc with Labour on the way. But don’t for a second think they want real self-determination. If they did, they wouldn’t be planning to turn Scotland and Wales into client states of Brussels. It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU. In light of this, it is unsurprising Brussels is now pushing for an integrated “European culture” programme to convince the Great British Public of our shared European culture. Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership. But aside from this, what are the EU policies of the other parties? Breitbart, 18 April Juncker drops EU renegotiation bombshell on Cameron It is official: David Cameron’s renegotiations are over before they have even begun. Yesterday unelected European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker announced there will be no changes to EU Treaties whilst he is in office. The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item. In any event, the famous tampon tax can’t be abolished unless we quit the EU, which we should do as soon as possible. The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries. Breitbart London, 9 April EU to Switch Off British Film Industry The fanatics in the European Commission now have their sights set on the UK television, film and music industries. The Commentator, 8 April Rampant Sexism in EU Institutions A gender equality investigation of key EU institutions by Get Britain Out has discovered that the bureaucrats of the EU are failing to practice what they preach. Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another. The Conservative Woman, 12 March An EU Army: a tragedy for our armed forces It becomes ever clearer why our armed forces are being cut to the bone. If we are heading to a federal Europe, we are going to get a European defence force, however useless it may be. The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape. By introducing a tax on British cider producers, Brussels is not only attacking the manufacturers, but the majority of British adults who enjoy cider, as well as scrumpy. Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU. What principle of justice prioritises Europeans over Indians and Canadians? None. It’s just bigotry. The Commentator, 5 March Putin is a nightmare, but the EU is making matters worse The brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov reminds us of just how different British and Russian political values are. This, however, does not mean we should allow the EU to stir up geopolitical and other problems we just don’t need. Britain would be far better making its own Russia policy, not being a slave to Brussels. The Commentator, 3 March The Church of England and the Archbishop of Brussels The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Left-wing bishops who run the Church of England, have published a 52-page pastoral letter stacked with leftist clichés, which calls for Britain to remain in the EU. Breitbart London, 25 February British government stifles EU debate The reasons the government is giving for blanking out debate on the EU in the run-up to the general election are frankly absurd. Why are they running away from this huge issue? The Commentator, 22 February The European Union Needs Us More than We Need Them This week EU Trade Commissioner Cecila Malmstroem warned Britain’s exit from the European Union would be a “disaster” both for Britain and the rest of the EU. Breitbart London, 21 February An Ideal EU? Not Likely The reforms outlined by Business for Britain cannot safeguard Britain’s independence. The root of the problem is the EU’s central institutions. It is an old fashioned, out of date model, unfit for the 21st Century. The Commentator, 17 February Wolf Hall: A Eurosceptic Drama At last, a programme which portrays sympathetically the fight for self-determination against continental potentates and their local enthusiasts. Conservative Home, 28 January 2015 EU VAT Rules: A Serious Threat to Small Business Changes to VAT rules will prove catastrophic to small businesses, to the burgeoning market for digital goods, and especially to women. UKIP Daily, 23 January 2015 Latest EU madness threatens our NHS Last week the Commons discussed the proposed EU-US free trade agreement. One of the most important aspects discussed was how the Treaty would impact the NHS. Brussels whacks Britain yet again. Let’s Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 19 January 2015 EU in the latest disastrous move to destroy small businesses Yet again, the European Union has blundered into legislation which will make life for small business a nightmare.This time it’s the turn of online business to be clobbered, and then strangled in growth and innovation destroying red tape. The Commentator, 15 January 2015 Cameron Bars Eurosceptic Ministers From Referendum David Cameron’s move to block ministers in a future Conservative government from campaigning to quit the EU is a sign of weakness. The Commentator, 5 January 2015 British Public Declare: “We Are not Europeans” Asked how European they saw themselves, 58 percent of Brits replied they saw themselves just as British and not as European. Breitbart, 24 December 2014 Santa won’t visit the EU, but a Eurosceptic Pope did The Pope, in his wisdom, gave the EU a stern warning — it has lost its way. The Commentator, 24 December 2014 Letting Turkey into the EU would be a disaster David Cameron has announced it is still his ‘long-standing goal’ to bring Turkey into the European Union – despite the complete disaster this would be for Britain. Breitbart, 12 December 2014 More Outrageous EU Demands Whenever Eurocrats realise their ambitious spending commitments cannot be fulfilled, they casually raid Britain’s coffers while our political classes do little more than fake outrage and horror. It will only stop of we Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 12 December 2014 EU migrants make up just four percent of the NHS workforce Recent research by Get Britain Out reveals the claim the NHS relies on EU migrant labour is just another attempt to peddle the myth Britain needs the European Union. Breitbart, 6 December 2014 Britain is strong enough to thrive outside the EU No-one thinks Britain is out of it yer, but as the UK creams the Eurozone in economic performance, we are reminded that the scaremongers in Brussels have nothing to give, and we must Get Britain Out of the EU, pronto! The Commentator, 5 December 2014 Fishy EU goes fishing at Britain’s expense To stop the fishing industry around our shores from perishing and to secure our fishing waters from exploitation, it is essential we must Get Britain Out of the EU. The Commentator, 3 December 2014 Cameron’s EU Immigration reforms will achieve nothing Cameron has finally proposed how he intends to try and reform EU immigration – but he has merely shown yet again he is completely out of touch with the needs of the Great British Public. Breitbart, 29 November 2014 Cameron’s EU speech: Wishful thinking and deception Cameron, as we saw in Friday’s speech, exemplifies much of what is wrong with British politics: the utter lack of conviction. Knee-jerk reactions and smoke-and-mirrors fool no one. Rather than persisting in the fantasy of a reformed EU, we must Get Britain Out, The Commentator, 29 November 2014 The EU: Watering a Dead Tree Europe’s economy is still on its knees, but the EU’s political classes have learned nothing from their self-inflicted folly. If your house has been burned down, the last thing to do is to mistake the arsonists for the firemen. The most pragmatic move is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 28 November 2014 The EU CAP damages developing economies – and ours We are still paying £11.3 billion a year to be part of a club which cuts the disposable income of the neediest in our society. Left Foot Forward, 28 November 2014 EU Puff, Smoke and Mirrors If we really want to stop being taxed for being successful, the only answer is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 18 November 2014 Time to hold the EU to account For the 19th year in a row, auditors have failed to sign off the EU’s accounts. What on earth is Britain doing staying part of this farce? The Commentator, 7 November 2014 As Commonwealth exports soar, economic case for leaving European Union grows The day our trade with the Anglosphere and Commonwealth eclipses our trade with Brussels is coming ever closer. Breitbart, 1 November 2014 Ditch anti-democratic Lib Dems for EU referendum Calling Nick Clegg and his band of wet europhiles Liberal Democrats is like calling the British National Party the Racial Harmony Party. The Commentator, 1 November 2014 Another EU rip-off While the EU is trying to rip Britain off, yet again, thousands of Eurocrats earn more than most heads of government. There is vast waste on much more besides. Britain has simply got to leave. The Commentator, 30 October 2014 Its official: There is no hope for EU reform It might have gone unnoticed by most but the handover of power in Brussels is complete: we officially have a new government ruling the federal state of which we are effectively a part. Breitbart, 23 October 2014 Caps on EU migrants are illegal. Got that Dave? The Great British Public should not fall for Cameron’s parlour trick. Any current plans to cap EU migrants will be illegal under EU law and are not deliverable until after successfully severing our ties to Brussels by getting out of the EU. The Commentator, 21 October 2014 Enforced at last: Britain’s EU referendum bill Finally, we are one step closer to a guaranteed EU referendum in 2017 beung enshrined in law. Breitbart, 18 October 2014 UKIP could support Tory minority for July 2015 EU referendum As the UKIP bandwagon rolls on, the prospect of UKIP holding the balance of power in the 2015 general election is becoming less and less impossible. Breitbart, 17 October 2014 Cameron’s EU budget cuts are a mirage Yet again, David Cameron’s half-baked promises on Europe amount to nonsense. Theres only one way for Britain, and thats out of the EU. The Commentator, 5 October 2014 After Scotland, no excuses against an EU referendum Everyone has praised the democratic marvel of Scotland’s referendum. Labour, Lib Dems and dithering Tories now have no excuse whatsoever for opposing a referendum on whether Britain stays in or quits the EU. The Commentator, 19 September 2014 Europe’s youth are being conned At Get Britain Out, we have long argued that the European Union is completely out of touch. In Brussels today (17 Sep), whilst discussing the EU’s flagship “Youth Unemployment Initiative”, the Eurocrats did nothing to change our mind. UKIP Daily, 18 September 2014 As independence looms large, the Centre cannot hold National independence movements are on the rise across Europe. From Scotland to Spain – as the European Union’s stranglehold hardens, demands for sovereignty are becoming even more vocal. Breitbart, 17 September 2014 European Parliamentarians’ fingers in the till Members of the European Parliament already get expense accounts and salaries off the scale, but now they’re just taking the … well you know what. The Commentator, 16 September 2014 The fight against EU immigration is a fight for our national character We don’t need lectures from Commissioner Andor on how Britain should be run, even if he feels entitled to share his opinion. Conservative Woman, 16 September 2014 EU membership is a threat to our national security Hard as it is for the Eurocrats of Brussels to accept, it is NATO, not the EU, which has kept peace in Europe for the last 70 years. Conservative Home, 11 September 2014 The EU’s Cynical Ruse With the EU’s latest sly ruse, David Cameron, along with the rest of the political establishment, has been outfoxed by an age-old game of expectation management. The Commentator, 11 September 2014 Shame of fake EU Climate Change “aid” to Third World It is quite staggering that the EU is “helping” poverty stricken countries in Africa by pumping taxpayers’ money into, wait for it, “green energy”. The figures have to be seen to be believed. The Commentator, 9 September 2014 Energy prices continue to rise thanks to the Luddite EU The greatest harm inflicted by the EU’s energy policies is more than mere stifling of consumer choice, but in making energy more expensive, increasing household energy bills and devastating industry. Breitbart, 6 September 2014 ‘Lord Who’ Given Minor EU Portfolio: Slap Down For Cameron Today, a leaked EU document crushed David Cameron’s hopes for an important economic portfolio for his EU Commission nominee, Lord Hill. Breitbart, 4 September 2014 British influence in Brussels. What British influence? As a new study shows, the vast majority of British objections to Brussels policies are completely ignored. Europhiles who say we have to stay in the EU to protect our “influence” are, as usual, totally deluded. The Commentator, 3 September 2014 EU remains ‘Hungary’ for British money In the last month, Britain has contributed over 10 billion pounds to help fight unemployment in four other EU states. Breitbart, 2 September 2014 Immigration reform is impossible in the EU There is no way around this one, and the latest figures confirm the point: We can’t be members of the EU and control our immigration. The Commentator, 31 August 2014 Leaving the EU is the only way to cut immigration It has become a familiar routine to hear Cameron plead he can reduce net migration, and for the Office of National Statistics to publish figures which reveal the futility of his efforts. Breitbart, 31 August 2014 Juncker’s tokenism over female appointments is another reason for our quitting the EU The Treaty on European Union states one of the EU’s most important purposes is to “combat discrimination”, so why is Juncker threatening to block male EU Commissioners from the top jobs? The Conservative Woman, 27 August 2014 Retired Eurocrats get their snouts in the trough As British pensioners feel the pinch, there’s no austerity in Brussels. The European Commission has been caught shamefully splashing out billions more to line the pockets of retired EU cronies. The Commentator, 24 August 2014 Britain’s Influence in Brussels Waning Britain’s clout in the EU continues to wane, making Cameron’s renegotiation, previously an unrealistic ambition, utterly impossible. Breitbart, 19 August 2014 Killing the EU “3 Million Jobs” whopper for good A schoolboy economics student, though maybe not a Lib Dem cabinet minister, could tell you the idea we’d lose 3 million jobs if we quit the EU is rubbish. The Commentator, 18 August 2014 How the European Union is a threat to vital, scientific research In a joint letter, twenty-eight of Europe’s leading academics have warned that European Union data protection laws risk harming vital research, especially social and health-related studies. Breitbart, 17 August 2014 The EU wants to destroy the City As well as pure envy at our extraordinary success, EU attacks on the City are inspired by long-standing hostility to the “Anglo-American” model. In contrast to EU statism, that model has the shocking temerity to actually work. The Commentator, 16 August 2014 UK and the EU? Facts, unity, courage will get us out Tim Hedges calls for a united campaign for withdrawal from the EU between thinktanks including the “formidable pressure group” Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 13 August 2014 The Ghost of Lisbon The remaining provisions of that disgrace to democracy known as the EU’s Lisbon Treaty are due to come into force on 1st of November, crippling what little is left of our sovereignty. The Commentator, 11 August 2014 EU chief scientific adviser says her work should be kept secret EU technocrats hate democracy and love secrecy. Now EU chief scientific adviser says the public should not know what advice she gives. Breitbart, 9 August 2014 Boris or not, the Tories will never sell us Euroscepticism again Not for the first time, London Mayor Boris Johnson has waded into the debate over Europe, saying London is better off leaving an ‘unreformed’ European Union (EU) and that there’s no need to fear an EU exit. Breitbart, 6 August 2014 Last orders for arch European federalist Renaming a favourite Eurocrat bar after a relic of 20th century socialism and a proponent of unlimited federalism offers a piquant reminder of why Britain needs to get out of the EU as soon as possible. The Commentator, 3 August 2014 EU says “Hard Cheese” to Swiss Democracy The Swiss voted in a referendum to introduce a quota system on immigration. Very democratic. Which is why the EU hates it and is treating Switzerland with contempt. The Commentator, 28 July 2014 EU ‘grand theft’ of aid budget How the EC pockets aid money meant for the worlds poorest. Parliament Magazine, 28 July 2014 The EU’s tactics over Ukraine are fatally flawed Whatever your position on the Ukraine crisis, it has exposed the utter impotence of the EU and the fatal flaw behind the concept of the European super-state. Breitbart, 25 July 2014 Commonwealth or EU: which is best for Britain’s future? In a decade the Commonwealth will be a bigger economic power than the EU – but we can have free trade relations with both. The Commentator, 25 July 2014 UK Government confirms huge abuse of EU free movement rules The report exposes how criminals are using this EU law to “import human trafficking victims, illegal immigrants as well as illicit commodities, including rugs and counterfeit goods”. Breitbart, 24 July 2014 Keep your eye on the ball. The real story is Europe The actual vote by the European Parliament, confirming the election of Juncker as President, was barely mentioned. Such is the anti-democratic nature of the EU. The Commentator, 21 July 2014 The EU’s ‘Free’ Trade Treaty Will Enslave Britain With the latest round of negotiations for the new EU-US trade treaty starting on Monday, left-wing activists are finally waking up to the threat the EU poses to the rights of the British working class. Breitbart, 10 July 2014 GBO Comment: Bin the EU Instead Many of us have concluded that the EU is a load of rubbish. Little did we know that this is not just a figure of speech The Commentator 4 July 2014 Britain’s Natural Home is the Commonwealth, not the EU A deep divide is growing between Britain and the EU as the latter piles on regulations in the name of the Single Market. The Commonwealth is the best alternative to EU membership. Breitbart, 4 July 2014 EU Enlargement continues to rile Russia, Putin claims another series of victories While the Ukraine crisis rumbles on, a number of seemingly unconnected events in Eastern Europe are building up increasing instability Breitbart, 29 June 2014 EU doors open to Europe’s trafficking capital If you thought criminal gangs from Romania were a problem you ain’t seen nothing yet. The EU’s latest crazy idea is to bring in Albania, the drug and people trafficking capital of Europe. The Commentator, 27 June 2014 EU ignores 2 million-strong demand for end to embryo research A petition proposing to stop the EU funding the destruction of human embryos has been ignored by the Commission. The Conservative Woman, 7 June 2014 Brazen Brussels milks Britain for more money Make no mistake about it, the latest demand for cash from Brussels is the EU’s petulant and small minded way of slapping the European public across the face for daring to vote against the beloved project The Commentator, 29 May 2014 Britain rejects Cameron’s Renegotiation and Miliband’s Fence Sitting The results say it all. UKIP have topped the European Election results with a 27.5 percent share of the vote, beating both the Labour and Conservative Parties Breitbart, 28 May 2014 Clegg Battered and Bruised by Eurosceptic Majority Twice Nick Clegg attempted to debate Nigel Farage, the champion of the Eurosceptic cause in Britain, and twice he limped back bloodied and humiliated.

The Commentator, 4 September Europhile Glee for Obama is Naive US President Barack Obama recently said: “Having the United Kingdom in the European Union gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union.” thereby charging headlong into the minefield of Anglo-European relations. The Great British public must not be fooled by such impulsive comments. Breitbart London, 17 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. Better Off Out, 14 August David Cameron’s Renegotiation is Already Dead Some Eurosceptics are taking the “wait and see” approach, while David Cameron’s renegotiation on the terms of our EU membership goes on, under the illusion he might secure some adequate reforms. Now some ministers are beginning to realise he can’t deliver on his promises. Breitbart London, 14 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. The Commentator, 12 August Lynton Crosby’s poll is a headache for Cameron Lynton Crosby, mastermind of the Tory election victory, recently presented a secret poll to David Cameron on why and how he won. Key findings on the public’s concerns about the EU and immigration will haunt the Prime Minister in his vain efforts for a substantial renegotiation with Brussels. The Commentator, 4 August Has the Troika destroyed Greece? In recent days and weeks, we have seen the financial and political elite of Europe humiliate Greece with the country’s economy collapsing before our eyes. The Commentator, 24 July Declining EU is Overrated as a Trading Power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. It is the past. The Commentator, 23 July Will Britain Face The Same EU Dilemma As Greece? With Greek MPs being given the choice between giving up sovereignty or leaving the eurozone the UK should beware of a similar ultimatum being one day issued to them concerning their membership of the EU. Breitbart London, 23 July Declining EU is overrated as a trading power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. The Commentator, 23 July EU Uses Fear of Terror to Expand its Surveillance Powers Over growing fears of Islamist terror attacks, the EU is exploiting public fear to expand its surveillance capabilities. This conceited effort to override current national co-operation is not the solution. Breitbart London, 22 July Brussels Belittles Women with PC-Crusade Against the “Glass Ceiling” The EU has proposed imposing bizarre new measures to encourage more women to stay in science and technical careers, citing a “glass ceiling” holding back their advancement. It will surprise absolutely no one the measures reek of misguided political correctness. Breitbart London, 14 July EU tyranny finally crushes the birthplace of democracy The big lesson the EU has “learned” from the Greek crisis is that the democratic will of the people must be suppressed even further. As Brussels crushes democracy in its birthplace, the seeds of a neo-authoritarian superstate have been definitively sown. The Commentator, 14 July UK’s success means EU contributions rise by over £3 billion It is clear the EU has very little interest in David Cameron’s renegotiation process, as they are far more concerned with saving the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Brussels keeps punishing Britain for its economic success, demanding soaring contributions. The Commentator, 10 July Greece’s brave choice – “OXI” to the tyrannical EU We in Britain will soon be facing our In/Out referendum. Let the Greeks inspire us to fight to get Britain out of the tyrannical EU. The Commentator, 7 July Business Secretary Slaps Down Europhile Business Group Business Secretary Sajid Javid has fired a shot across the bows of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) regarding its recent claim Britain should remain in the European Union “no matter what”. Breitbart London, 3 July Vicious EU will let Athens burn for failed Euro dystopia As the EU’s neo-authoritarian clown in chief Jean-Claude Juncker intimidates Greece for the cheek of consulting the people, it’s now clear Brussels will burn Athens to the ground rather than admit their disastrous mistake of creating the dystopian Eurozone. The Commentator, 3 July EU wants control over our holiday snaps, amazingly enough Astounding as it may sound, the EU is considering proposals which could ban people from taking photos of iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, without copyright permission. The real motivation is an oppressive attack on social media. The Commentator, 1 July Distant Strasbourg Lawyers Do Not Guarantee Britain’s Rights During the celebrations of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we would do well to remember Britain’s civil and tolerant nature derives from our own traditions and not those handed down to us by the Eurocrats. Breitbart London, 21 June EU Commissioners Exploit Defence to Push Federalism Following EU President Jean-Claude Juncker’s call for an EU army, the European Parliament voted to implement the Common Security and Defence Policy last week. Breitbart London, 12 June No Signs of EU Reform Yet as Brussels Remains Belligerent As David Cameron continues his tour of European capitals, the EU cannot help but send out terrible signals to the British electorate. Breitbart London, 2 June Pro-EU SNP and Plaid aim to destroy Britain but lose independence The pro-EU SNP and Plaid Cymru want to break up Britain and cause havoc with Labour on the way. But don’t for a second think they want real self-determination. If they did, they wouldn’t be planning to turn Scotland and Wales into client states of Brussels. It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU. In light of this, it is unsurprising Brussels is now pushing for an integrated “European culture” programme to convince the Great British Public of our shared European culture. Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership. But aside from this, what are the EU policies of the other parties? Breitbart, 18 April Juncker drops EU renegotiation bombshell on Cameron It is official: David Cameron’s renegotiations are over before they have even begun. Yesterday unelected European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker announced there will be no changes to EU Treaties whilst he is in office. The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item. In any event, the famous tampon tax can’t be abolished unless we quit the EU, which we should do as soon as possible. The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries. Breitbart London, 9 April EU to Switch Off British Film Industry The fanatics in the European Commission now have their sights set on the UK television, film and music industries. The Commentator, 8 April Rampant Sexism in EU Institutions A gender equality investigation of key EU institutions by Get Britain Out has discovered that the bureaucrats of the EU are failing to practice what they preach. Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another. The Conservative Woman, 12 March An EU Army: a tragedy for our armed forces It becomes ever clearer why our armed forces are being cut to the bone. If we are heading to a federal Europe, we are going to get a European defence force, however useless it may be. The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape. By introducing a tax on British cider producers, Brussels is not only attacking the manufacturers, but the majority of British adults who enjoy cider, as well as scrumpy. Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU. What principle of justice prioritises Europeans over Indians and Canadians? None. It’s just bigotry. The Commentator, 5 March Putin is a nightmare, but the EU is making matters worse The brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov reminds us of just how different British and Russian political values are. This, however, does not mean we should allow the EU to stir up geopolitical and other problems we just don’t need. Britain would be far better making its own Russia policy, not being a slave to Brussels. The Commentator, 3 March The Church of England and the Archbishop of Brussels The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Left-wing bishops who run the Church of England, have published a 52-page pastoral letter stacked with leftist clichés, which calls for Britain to remain in the EU. Breitbart London, 25 February British government stifles EU debate The reasons the government is giving for blanking out debate on the EU in the run-up to the general election are frankly absurd. Why are they running away from this huge issue? The Commentator, 22 February The European Union Needs Us More than We Need Them This week EU Trade Commissioner Cecila Malmstroem warned Britain’s exit from the European Union would be a “disaster” both for Britain and the rest of the EU. Breitbart London, 21 February An Ideal EU? Not Likely The reforms outlined by Business for Britain cannot safeguard Britain’s independence. The root of the problem is the EU’s central institutions. It is an old fashioned, out of date model, unfit for the 21st Century. The Commentator, 17 February Wolf Hall: A Eurosceptic Drama At last, a programme which portrays sympathetically the fight for self-determination against continental potentates and their local enthusiasts. Conservative Home, 28 January 2015 EU VAT Rules: A Serious Threat to Small Business Changes to VAT rules will prove catastrophic to small businesses, to the burgeoning market for digital goods, and especially to women. UKIP Daily, 23 January 2015 Latest EU madness threatens our NHS Last week the Commons discussed the proposed EU-US free trade agreement. One of the most important aspects discussed was how the Treaty would impact the NHS. Brussels whacks Britain yet again. Let’s Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 19 January 2015 EU in the latest disastrous move to destroy small businesses Yet again, the European Union has blundered into legislation which will make life for small business a nightmare.This time it’s the turn of online business to be clobbered, and then strangled in growth and innovation destroying red tape. The Commentator, 15 January 2015 Cameron Bars Eurosceptic Ministers From Referendum David Cameron’s move to block ministers in a future Conservative government from campaigning to quit the EU is a sign of weakness. The Commentator, 5 January 2015 British Public Declare: “We Are not Europeans” Asked how European they saw themselves, 58 percent of Brits replied they saw themselves just as British and not as European. Breitbart, 24 December 2014 Santa won’t visit the EU, but a Eurosceptic Pope did The Pope, in his wisdom, gave the EU a stern warning — it has lost its way. The Commentator, 24 December 2014 Letting Turkey into the EU would be a disaster David Cameron has announced it is still his ‘long-standing goal’ to bring Turkey into the European Union – despite the complete disaster this would be for Britain. Breitbart, 12 December 2014 More Outrageous EU Demands Whenever Eurocrats realise their ambitious spending commitments cannot be fulfilled, they casually raid Britain’s coffers while our political classes do little more than fake outrage and horror. It will only stop of we Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 12 December 2014 EU migrants make up just four percent of the NHS workforce Recent research by Get Britain Out reveals the claim the NHS relies on EU migrant labour is just another attempt to peddle the myth Britain needs the European Union. Breitbart, 6 December 2014 Britain is strong enough to thrive outside the EU No-one thinks Britain is out of it yer, but as the UK creams the Eurozone in economic performance, we are reminded that the scaremongers in Brussels have nothing to give, and we must Get Britain Out of the EU, pronto! The Commentator, 5 December 2014 Fishy EU goes fishing at Britain’s expense To stop the fishing industry around our shores from perishing and to secure our fishing waters from exploitation, it is essential we must Get Britain Out of the EU. The Commentator, 3 December 2014 Cameron’s EU Immigration reforms will achieve nothing Cameron has finally proposed how he intends to try and reform EU immigration – but he has merely shown yet again he is completely out of touch with the needs of the Great British Public. Breitbart, 29 November 2014 Cameron’s EU speech: Wishful thinking and deception Cameron, as we saw in Friday’s speech, exemplifies much of what is wrong with British politics: the utter lack of conviction. Knee-jerk reactions and smoke-and-mirrors fool no one. Rather than persisting in the fantasy of a reformed EU, we must Get Britain Out, The Commentator, 29 November 2014 The EU: Watering a Dead Tree Europe’s economy is still on its knees, but the EU’s political classes have learned nothing from their self-inflicted folly. If your house has been burned down, the last thing to do is to mistake the arsonists for the firemen. The most pragmatic move is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 28 November 2014 The EU CAP damages developing economies – and ours We are still paying £11.3 billion a year to be part of a club which cuts the disposable income of the neediest in our society. Left Foot Forward, 28 November 2014 EU Puff, Smoke and Mirrors If we really want to stop being taxed for being successful, the only answer is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 18 November 2014 Time to hold the EU to account For the 19th year in a row, auditors have failed to sign off the EU’s accounts. What on earth is Britain doing staying part of this farce? The Commentator, 7 November 2014 As Commonwealth exports soar, economic case for leaving European Union grows The day our trade with the Anglosphere and Commonwealth eclipses our trade with Brussels is coming ever closer. Breitbart, 1 November 2014 Ditch anti-democratic Lib Dems for EU referendum Calling Nick Clegg and his band of wet europhiles Liberal Democrats is like calling the British National Party the Racial Harmony Party. The Commentator, 1 November 2014 Another EU rip-off While the EU is trying to rip Britain off, yet again, thousands of Eurocrats earn more than most heads of government. There is vast waste on much more besides. Britain has simply got to leave. The Commentator, 30 October 2014 Its official: There is no hope for EU reform It might have gone unnoticed by most but the handover of power in Brussels is complete: we officially have a new government ruling the federal state of which we are effectively a part. Breitbart, 23 October 2014 Caps on EU migrants are illegal. Got that Dave? The Great British Public should not fall for Cameron’s parlour trick. Any current plans to cap EU migrants will be illegal under EU law and are not deliverable until after successfully severing our ties to Brussels by getting out of the EU. The Commentator, 21 October 2014 Enforced at last: Britain’s EU referendum bill Finally, we are one step closer to a guaranteed EU referendum in 2017 beung enshrined in law. Breitbart, 18 October 2014 UKIP could support Tory minority for July 2015 EU referendum As the UKIP bandwagon rolls on, the prospect of UKIP holding the balance of power in the 2015 general election is becoming less and less impossible. Breitbart, 17 October 2014 Cameron’s EU budget cuts are a mirage Yet again, David Cameron’s half-baked promises on Europe amount to nonsense. Theres only one way for Britain, and thats out of the EU. The Commentator, 5 October 2014 After Scotland, no excuses against an EU referendum Everyone has praised the democratic marvel of Scotland’s referendum. Labour, Lib Dems and dithering Tories now have no excuse whatsoever for opposing a referendum on whether Britain stays in or quits the EU. The Commentator, 19 September 2014 Europe’s youth are being conned At Get Britain Out, we have long argued that the European Union is completely out of touch. In Brussels today (17 Sep), whilst discussing the EU’s flagship “Youth Unemployment Initiative”, the Eurocrats did nothing to change our mind. UKIP Daily, 18 September 2014 As independence looms large, the Centre cannot hold National independence movements are on the rise across Europe. From Scotland to Spain – as the European Union’s stranglehold hardens, demands for sovereignty are becoming even more vocal. Breitbart, 17 September 2014 European Parliamentarians’ fingers in the till Members of the European Parliament already get expense accounts and salaries off the scale, but now they’re just taking the … well you know what. The Commentator, 16 September 2014 The fight against EU immigration is a fight for our national character We don’t need lectures from Commissioner Andor on how Britain should be run, even if he feels entitled to share his opinion. Conservative Woman, 16 September 2014 EU membership is a threat to our national security Hard as it is for the Eurocrats of Brussels to accept, it is NATO, not the EU, which has kept peace in Europe for the last 70 years. Conservative Home, 11 September 2014 The EU’s Cynical Ruse With the EU’s latest sly ruse, David Cameron, along with the rest of the political establishment, has been outfoxed by an age-old game of expectation management. The Commentator, 11 September 2014 Shame of fake EU Climate Change “aid” to Third World It is quite staggering that the EU is “helping” poverty stricken countries in Africa by pumping taxpayers’ money into, wait for it, “green energy”. The figures have to be seen to be believed. The Commentator, 9 September 2014 Energy prices continue to rise thanks to the Luddite EU The greatest harm inflicted by the EU’s energy policies is more than mere stifling of consumer choice, but in making energy more expensive, increasing household energy bills and devastating industry. Breitbart, 6 September 2014 ‘Lord Who’ Given Minor EU Portfolio: Slap Down For Cameron Today, a leaked EU document crushed David Cameron’s hopes for an important economic portfolio for his EU Commission nominee, Lord Hill. Breitbart, 4 September 2014 British influence in Brussels. What British influence? As a new study shows, the vast majority of British objections to Brussels policies are completely ignored. Europhiles who say we have to stay in the EU to protect our “influence” are, as usual, totally deluded. The Commentator, 3 September 2014 EU remains ‘Hungary’ for British money In the last month, Britain has contributed over 10 billion pounds to help fight unemployment in four other EU states. Breitbart, 2 September 2014 Immigration reform is impossible in the EU There is no way around this one, and the latest figures confirm the point: We can’t be members of the EU and control our immigration. The Commentator, 31 August 2014 Leaving the EU is the only way to cut immigration It has become a familiar routine to hear Cameron plead he can reduce net migration, and for the Office of National Statistics to publish figures which reveal the futility of his efforts. Breitbart, 31 August 2014 Juncker’s tokenism over female appointments is another reason for our quitting the EU The Treaty on European Union states one of the EU’s most important purposes is to “combat discrimination”, so why is Juncker threatening to block male EU Commissioners from the top jobs? The Conservative Woman, 27 August 2014 Retired Eurocrats get their snouts in the trough As British pensioners feel the pinch, there’s no austerity in Brussels. The European Commission has been caught shamefully splashing out billions more to line the pockets of retired EU cronies. The Commentator, 24 August 2014 Britain’s Influence in Brussels Waning Britain’s clout in the EU continues to wane, making Cameron’s renegotiation, previously an unrealistic ambition, utterly impossible. Breitbart, 19 August 2014 Killing the EU “3 Million Jobs” whopper for good A schoolboy economics student, though maybe not a Lib Dem cabinet minister, could tell you the idea we’d lose 3 million jobs if we quit the EU is rubbish. The Commentator, 18 August 2014 How the European Union is a threat to vital, scientific research In a joint letter, twenty-eight of Europe’s leading academics have warned that European Union data protection laws risk harming vital research, especially social and health-related studies. Breitbart, 17 August 2014 The EU wants to destroy the City As well as pure envy at our extraordinary success, EU attacks on the City are inspired by long-standing hostility to the “Anglo-American” model. In contrast to EU statism, that model has the shocking temerity to actually work. The Commentator, 16 August 2014 UK and the EU? Facts, unity, courage will get us out Tim Hedges calls for a united campaign for withdrawal from the EU between thinktanks including the “formidable pressure group” Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 13 August 2014 The Ghost of Lisbon The remaining provisions of that disgrace to democracy known as the EU’s Lisbon Treaty are due to come into force on 1st of November, crippling what little is left of our sovereignty. The Commentator, 11 August 2014 EU chief scientific adviser says her work should be kept secret EU technocrats hate democracy and love secrecy. Now EU chief scientific adviser says the public should not know what advice she gives. Breitbart, 9 August 2014 Boris or not, the Tories will never sell us Euroscepticism again Not for the first time, London Mayor Boris Johnson has waded into the debate over Europe, saying London is better off leaving an ‘unreformed’ European Union (EU) and that there’s no need to fear an EU exit. Breitbart, 6 August 2014 Last orders for arch European federalist Renaming a favourite Eurocrat bar after a relic of 20th century socialism and a proponent of unlimited federalism offers a piquant reminder of why Britain needs to get out of the EU as soon as possible. The Commentator, 3 August 2014 EU says “Hard Cheese” to Swiss Democracy The Swiss voted in a referendum to introduce a quota system on immigration. Very democratic. Which is why the EU hates it and is treating Switzerland with contempt. The Commentator, 28 July 2014 EU ‘grand theft’ of aid budget How the EC pockets aid money meant for the worlds poorest. Parliament Magazine, 28 July 2014 The EU’s tactics over Ukraine are fatally flawed Whatever your position on the Ukraine crisis, it has exposed the utter impotence of the EU and the fatal flaw behind the concept of the European super-state. Breitbart, 25 July 2014 Commonwealth or EU: which is best for Britain’s future? In a decade the Commonwealth will be a bigger economic power than the EU – but we can have free trade relations with both. The Commentator, 25 July 2014 UK Government confirms huge abuse of EU free movement rules The report exposes how criminals are using this EU law to “import human trafficking victims, illegal immigrants as well as illicit commodities, including rugs and counterfeit goods”. Breitbart, 24 July 2014 Keep your eye on the ball. The real story is Europe The actual vote by the European Parliament, confirming the election of Juncker as President, was barely mentioned. Such is the anti-democratic nature of the EU. The Commentator, 21 July 2014 The EU’s ‘Free’ Trade Treaty Will Enslave Britain With the latest round of negotiations for the new EU-US trade treaty starting on Monday, left-wing activists are finally waking up to the threat the EU poses to the rights of the British working class.

Little did we know that this is not just a figure of speech The Commentator 4 July 2014 Britain’s Natural Home is the Commonwealth, not the EU A deep divide is growing between Britain and the EU as the latter piles on regulations in the name of the Single Market.

Daily Express, 11 September Another nail in the coffin of Cameron’s EU promise The total chaos surrounding the migration crisis is a disaster for everyone involved. And so is the nature of the debate. The reality is that we must get Britain out of the EU if we are going to begin solving the problem.

The Great British public must not be fooled by such impulsive comments. Breitbart London, 17 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. Better Off Out, 14 August David Cameron’s Renegotiation is Already Dead Some Eurosceptics are taking the “wait and see” approach, while David Cameron’s renegotiation on the terms of our EU membership goes on, under the illusion he might secure some adequate reforms.

The Commentator, 24 July Declining EU is Overrated as a Trading Power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset.

The Commentator, 23 July Will Britain Face The Same EU Dilemma As Greece? With Greek MPs being given the choice between giving up sovereignty or leaving the eurozone the UK should beware of a similar ultimatum being one day issued to them concerning their membership of the EU.

It will surprise absolutely no one the measures reek of misguided political correctness. Breitbart London, 14 July EU tyranny finally crushes the birthplace of democracy The big lesson the EU has “learned” from the Greek crisis is that the democratic will of the people must be suppressed even further. As Brussels crushes democracy in its birthplace, the seeds of a neo-authoritarian superstate have been definitively sown. The Commentator, 14 July UK’s success means EU contributions rise by over £3 billion It is clear the EU has very little interest in David Cameron’s renegotiation process, as they are far more concerned with saving the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Brussels keeps punishing Britain for its economic success, demanding soaring contributions.

Breitbart London, 3 July Vicious EU will let Athens burn for failed Euro dystopia As the EU’s neo-authoritarian clown in chief Jean-Claude Juncker intimidates Greece for the cheek of consulting the people, it’s now clear Brussels will burn Athens to the ground rather than admit their disastrous mistake of creating the dystopian Eurozone. The Commentator, 3 July EU wants control over our holiday snaps, amazingly enough Astounding as it may sound, the EU is considering proposals which could ban people from taking photos of iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, without copyright permission.

It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU.

Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership.

The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item.

The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries.

Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another. The Conservative Woman, 12 March An EU Army: a tragedy for our armed forces It becomes ever clearer why our armed forces are being cut to the bone. If we are heading to a federal Europe, we are going to get a European defence force, however useless it may be. The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape. By introducing a tax on British cider producers, Brussels is not only attacking the manufacturers, but the majority of British adults who enjoy cider, as well as scrumpy. Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU. What principle of justice prioritises Europeans over Indians and Canadians? None. It’s just bigotry. The Commentator, 5 March Putin is a nightmare, but the EU is making matters worse The brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov reminds us of just how different British and Russian political values are. This, however, does not mean we should allow the EU to stir up geopolitical and other problems we just don’t need. Britain would be far better making its own Russia policy, not being a slave to Brussels. The Commentator, 3 March The Church of England and the Archbishop of Brussels The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Left-wing bishops who run the Church of England, have published a 52-page pastoral letter stacked with leftist clichés, which calls for Britain to remain in the EU. Breitbart London, 25 February British government stifles EU debate The reasons the government is giving for blanking out debate on the EU in the run-up to the general election are frankly absurd.

The Commentator, 3 December 2014 Cameron’s EU Immigration reforms will achieve nothing Cameron has finally proposed how he intends to try and reform EU immigration – but he has merely shown yet again he is completely out of touch with the needs of the Great British Public. Breitbart, 29 November 2014 Cameron’s EU speech: Wishful thinking and deception Cameron, as we saw in Friday’s speech, exemplifies much of what is wrong with British politics: the utter lack of conviction.

Let’s get Britain out of this mess as soon as possible. 5 February – The Commentator The EU Needs Britain? TOUGH!

She’s certainly been Europe’s lead actor. But her European policies, in the long term, may well destroy the EU, and add more thunder to those calling for Britain to leave. The Commentator – 12 December EU Dictatorship Burns Brightly in Time for Christmas The EU’s new candle directive includes – ‘never leave a burning candle unattended.’ What a waste of money! Huffington Post – 8 December NATO can react to a volatile world — not the EU You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. We live in a volatile and dangerous world.

Huffington Post – 30 October Elephant Trophies, Puppy Trafficking and Cattle to Warzones… The EU’s so-called ‘Good’ Animal Rights Record It is sometimes said the European Union plays a major role in the protection of animals across the globe. However, this is not a subject that critics of the Union put under the microscope on a regular basis. Huffington Post – 26 October On the EU, the CBI speaks for itself, not British interests Ultimately, the CBI has a clear vested interest in the UK remaining in the EU and is being driven by its own desire to maintain its status as the “the UK’s premier business lobbying organisation”. ConservativeHome, 22 October EU chooses corporatism on E-Cigarettes The appalling hypocrisy coming out of Brussels on e-cigarettes poses a clear and present danger to people’s health. The Commentator, 15 October An Open Letter to Megan Dunn, President of the NUS Get Britain Out researcher writes an open letter to pro-EU President of the National Union of Students Huffington Post, 14 October The EU Referendum Is Being Swept Under The Carpet It is clear the gap between the Conservative grassroots and the front bench is getting larger. Breitbart, 9 October Merkel set to win Nobel prize after disastrous year for Europe Why was Merkel in the running? For bringing social devastation to Europe and exacerbating a refugee crisis that is causing mayhem across the continent? The Commentator, 9 October The EU’s betrayal of Britain’s fishing industry The EU’s fisheries policies have been a disaster for Britain, destroying communities along our coasts. The Commentator, 2 October The EU is no Friend of Britain’s Small Businesses Why does the EU raise barriers to entry for our small businesses struggling to get a foothold? Breitbart London, 30 September Barmy Brussels Latest Call for Gender Equality Our campaign to Get Britain Out has revealed to the Daily Express Brussels politicians want schoolboys to learn about vacuum cleaning and dusting as part of a drive against “sexist” education. Textbooks that reinforce old-fashioned stereotypes about male and female roles would also be banned under a package backed in the European Parliament. Daily Express, 11 September Another nail in the coffin of Cameron’s EU promise The total chaos surrounding the migration crisis is a disaster for everyone involved. And so is the nature of the debate. The reality is that we must get Britain out of the EU if we are going to begin solving the problem. The Commentator, 8 September Germany stirs political turmoil in Greece… again! The appalling attacks on Greek democracy by the German-led EU are a stark illustration of precisely why we need to get Britain out as soon as possible. The Commentator, 4 September Europhile Glee for Obama is Naive US President Barack Obama recently said: “Having the United Kingdom in the European Union gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union.” thereby charging headlong into the minefield of Anglo-European relations. The Great British public must not be fooled by such impulsive comments. Breitbart London, 17 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. Better Off Out, 14 August David Cameron’s Renegotiation is Already Dead Some Eurosceptics are taking the “wait and see” approach, while David Cameron’s renegotiation on the terms of our EU membership goes on, under the illusion he might secure some adequate reforms. Now some ministers are beginning to realise he can’t deliver on his promises. Breitbart London, 14 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. The Commentator, 12 August Lynton Crosby’s poll is a headache for Cameron Lynton Crosby, mastermind of the Tory election victory, recently presented a secret poll to David Cameron on why and how he won. Key findings on the public’s concerns about the EU and immigration will haunt the Prime Minister in his vain efforts for a substantial renegotiation with Brussels. The Commentator, 4 August Has the Troika destroyed Greece? In recent days and weeks, we have seen the financial and political elite of Europe humiliate Greece with the country’s economy collapsing before our eyes. The Commentator, 24 July Declining EU is Overrated as a Trading Power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. It is the past. The Commentator, 23 July Will Britain Face The Same EU Dilemma As Greece? With Greek MPs being given the choice between giving up sovereignty or leaving the eurozone the UK should beware of a similar ultimatum being one day issued to them concerning their membership of the EU. Breitbart London, 23 July Declining EU is overrated as a trading power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. The Commentator, 23 July EU Uses Fear of Terror to Expand its Surveillance Powers Over growing fears of Islamist terror attacks, the EU is exploiting public fear to expand its surveillance capabilities. This conceited effort to override current national co-operation is not the solution. Breitbart London, 22 July Brussels Belittles Women with PC-Crusade Against the “Glass Ceiling” The EU has proposed imposing bizarre new measures to encourage more women to stay in science and technical careers, citing a “glass ceiling” holding back their advancement. It will surprise absolutely no one the measures reek of misguided political correctness. Breitbart London, 14 July EU tyranny finally crushes the birthplace of democracy The big lesson the EU has “learned” from the Greek crisis is that the democratic will of the people must be suppressed even further. As Brussels crushes democracy in its birthplace, the seeds of a neo-authoritarian superstate have been definitively sown. The Commentator, 14 July UK’s success means EU contributions rise by over £3 billion It is clear the EU has very little interest in David Cameron’s renegotiation process, as they are far more concerned with saving the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Brussels keeps punishing Britain for its economic success, demanding soaring contributions. The Commentator, 10 July Greece’s brave choice – “OXI” to the tyrannical EU We in Britain will soon be facing our In/Out referendum. Let the Greeks inspire us to fight to get Britain out of the tyrannical EU. The Commentator, 7 July Business Secretary Slaps Down Europhile Business Group Business Secretary Sajid Javid has fired a shot across the bows of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) regarding its recent claim Britain should remain in the European Union “no matter what”. Breitbart London, 3 July Vicious EU will let Athens burn for failed Euro dystopia As the EU’s neo-authoritarian clown in chief Jean-Claude Juncker intimidates Greece for the cheek of consulting the people, it’s now clear Brussels will burn Athens to the ground rather than admit their disastrous mistake of creating the dystopian Eurozone. The Commentator, 3 July EU wants control over our holiday snaps, amazingly enough Astounding as it may sound, the EU is considering proposals which could ban people from taking photos of iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, without copyright permission. The real motivation is an oppressive attack on social media. The Commentator, 1 July Distant Strasbourg Lawyers Do Not Guarantee Britain’s Rights During the celebrations of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we would do well to remember Britain’s civil and tolerant nature derives from our own traditions and not those handed down to us by the Eurocrats. Breitbart London, 21 June EU Commissioners Exploit Defence to Push Federalism Following EU President Jean-Claude Juncker’s call for an EU army, the European Parliament voted to implement the Common Security and Defence Policy last week. Breitbart London, 12 June No Signs of EU Reform Yet as Brussels Remains Belligerent As David Cameron continues his tour of European capitals, the EU cannot help but send out terrible signals to the British electorate. Breitbart London, 2 June Pro-EU SNP and Plaid aim to destroy Britain but lose independence The pro-EU SNP and Plaid Cymru want to break up Britain and cause havoc with Labour on the way. But don’t for a second think they want real self-determination. If they did, they wouldn’t be planning to turn Scotland and Wales into client states of Brussels. It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU. In light of this, it is unsurprising Brussels is now pushing for an integrated “European culture” programme to convince the Great British Public of our shared European culture. Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership. But aside from this, what are the EU policies of the other parties? Breitbart, 18 April Juncker drops EU renegotiation bombshell on Cameron It is official: David Cameron’s renegotiations are over before they have even begun. Yesterday unelected European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker announced there will be no changes to EU Treaties whilst he is in office. The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item. In any event, the famous tampon tax can’t be abolished unless we quit the EU, which we should do as soon as possible. The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries. Breitbart London, 9 April EU to Switch Off British Film Industry The fanatics in the European Commission now have their sights set on the UK television, film and music industries. The Commentator, 8 April Rampant Sexism in EU Institutions A gender equality investigation of key EU institutions by Get Britain Out has discovered that the bureaucrats of the EU are failing to practice what they preach. Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another. The Conservative Woman, 12 March An EU Army: a tragedy for our armed forces It becomes ever clearer why our armed forces are being cut to the bone. If we are heading to a federal Europe, we are going to get a European defence force, however useless it may be. The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape. By introducing a tax on British cider producers, Brussels is not only attacking the manufacturers, but the majority of British adults who enjoy cider, as well as scrumpy. Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU. What principle of justice prioritises Europeans over Indians and Canadians? None. It’s just bigotry. The Commentator, 5 March Putin is a nightmare, but the EU is making matters worse The brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov reminds us of just how different British and Russian political values are. This, however, does not mean we should allow the EU to stir up geopolitical and other problems we just don’t need. Britain would be far better making its own Russia policy, not being a slave to Brussels. The Commentator, 3 March The Church of England and the Archbishop of Brussels The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Left-wing bishops who run the Church of England, have published a 52-page pastoral letter stacked with leftist clichés, which calls for Britain to remain in the EU. Breitbart London, 25 February British government stifles EU debate The reasons the government is giving for blanking out debate on the EU in the run-up to the general election are frankly absurd. Why are they running away from this huge issue? The Commentator, 22 February The European Union Needs Us More than We Need Them This week EU Trade Commissioner Cecila Malmstroem warned Britain’s exit from the European Union would be a “disaster” both for Britain and the rest of the EU. Breitbart London, 21 February An Ideal EU? Not Likely The reforms outlined by Business for Britain cannot safeguard Britain’s independence. The root of the problem is the EU’s central institutions. It is an old fashioned, out of date model, unfit for the 21st Century. The Commentator, 17 February Wolf Hall: A Eurosceptic Drama At last, a programme which portrays sympathetically the fight for self-determination against continental potentates and their local enthusiasts. Conservative Home, 28 January 2015 EU VAT Rules: A Serious Threat to Small Business Changes to VAT rules will prove catastrophic to small businesses, to the burgeoning market for digital goods, and especially to women. UKIP Daily, 23 January 2015 Latest EU madness threatens our NHS Last week the Commons discussed the proposed EU-US free trade agreement. One of the most important aspects discussed was how the Treaty would impact the NHS. Brussels whacks Britain yet again. Let’s Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 19 January 2015 EU in the latest disastrous move to destroy small businesses Yet again, the European Union has blundered into legislation which will make life for small business a nightmare.This time it’s the turn of online business to be clobbered, and then strangled in growth and innovation destroying red tape. The Commentator, 15 January 2015 Cameron Bars Eurosceptic Ministers From Referendum David Cameron’s move to block ministers in a future Conservative government from campaigning to quit the EU is a sign of weakness. The Commentator, 5 January 2015 British Public Declare: “We Are not Europeans” Asked how European they saw themselves, 58 percent of Brits replied they saw themselves just as British and not as European. Breitbart, 24 December 2014 Santa won’t visit the EU, but a Eurosceptic Pope did The Pope, in his wisdom, gave the EU a stern warning — it has lost its way. The Commentator, 24 December 2014 Letting Turkey into the EU would be a disaster David Cameron has announced it is still his ‘long-standing goal’ to bring Turkey into the European Union – despite the complete disaster this would be for Britain. Breitbart, 12 December 2014 More Outrageous EU Demands Whenever Eurocrats realise their ambitious spending commitments cannot be fulfilled, they casually raid Britain’s coffers while our political classes do little more than fake outrage and horror. It will only stop of we Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 12 December 2014 EU migrants make up just four percent of the NHS workforce Recent research by Get Britain Out reveals the claim the NHS relies on EU migrant labour is just another attempt to peddle the myth Britain needs the European Union. Breitbart, 6 December 2014 Britain is strong enough to thrive outside the EU No-one thinks Britain is out of it yer, but as the UK creams the Eurozone in economic performance, we are reminded that the scaremongers in Brussels have nothing to give, and we must Get Britain Out of the EU, pronto! The Commentator, 5 December 2014 Fishy EU goes fishing at Britain’s expense To stop the fishing industry around our shores from perishing and to secure our fishing waters from exploitation, it is essential we must Get Britain Out of the EU. The Commentator, 3 December 2014 Cameron’s EU Immigration reforms will achieve nothing Cameron has finally proposed how he intends to try and reform EU immigration – but he has merely shown yet again he is completely out of touch with the needs of the Great British Public. Breitbart, 29 November 2014 Cameron’s EU speech: Wishful thinking and deception Cameron, as we saw in Friday’s speech, exemplifies much of what is wrong with British politics: the utter lack of conviction. Knee-jerk reactions and smoke-and-mirrors fool no one. Rather than persisting in the fantasy of a reformed EU, we must Get Britain Out, The Commentator, 29 November 2014 The EU: Watering a Dead Tree Europe’s economy is still on its knees, but the EU’s political classes have learned nothing from their self-inflicted folly. If your house has been burned down, the last thing to do is to mistake the arsonists for the firemen. The most pragmatic move is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 28 November 2014 The EU CAP damages developing economies – and ours We are still paying £11.3 billion a year to be part of a club which cuts the disposable income of the neediest in our society. Left Foot Forward, 28 November 2014 EU Puff, Smoke and Mirrors If we really want to stop being taxed for being successful, the only answer is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 18 November 2014 Time to hold the EU to account For the 19th year in a row, auditors have failed to sign off the EU’s accounts. What on earth is Britain doing staying part of this farce? The Commentator, 7 November 2014 As Commonwealth exports soar, economic case for leaving European Union grows The day our trade with the Anglosphere and Commonwealth eclipses our trade with Brussels is coming ever closer. Breitbart, 1 November 2014 Ditch anti-democratic Lib Dems for EU referendum Calling Nick Clegg and his band of wet europhiles Liberal Democrats is like calling the British National Party the Racial Harmony Party. The Commentator, 1 November 2014 Another EU rip-off While the EU is trying to rip Britain off, yet again, thousands of Eurocrats earn more than most heads of government. There is vast waste on much more besides. Britain has simply got to leave. The Commentator, 30 October 2014 Its official: There is no hope for EU reform It might have gone unnoticed by most but the handover of power in Brussels is complete: we officially have a new government ruling the federal state of which we are effectively a part. Breitbart, 23 October 2014 Caps on EU migrants are illegal. Got that Dave? The Great British Public should not fall for Cameron’s parlour trick. Any current plans to cap EU migrants will be illegal under EU law and are not deliverable until after successfully severing our ties to Brussels by getting out of the EU. The Commentator, 21 October 2014 Enforced at last: Britain’s EU referendum bill Finally, we are one step closer to a guaranteed EU referendum in 2017 beung enshrined in law. Breitbart, 18 October 2014 UKIP could support Tory minority for July 2015 EU referendum As the UKIP bandwagon rolls on, the prospect of UKIP holding the balance of power in the 2015 general election is becoming less and less impossible. Breitbart, 17 October 2014 Cameron’s EU budget cuts are a mirage Yet again, David Cameron’s half-baked promises on Europe amount to nonsense. Theres only one way for Britain, and thats out of the EU. The Commentator, 5 October 2014 After Scotland, no excuses against an EU referendum Everyone has praised the democratic marvel of Scotland’s referendum. Labour, Lib Dems and dithering Tories now have no excuse whatsoever for opposing a referendum on whether Britain stays in or quits the EU. The Commentator, 19 September 2014 Europe’s youth are being conned At Get Britain Out, we have long argued that the European Union is completely out of touch. In Brussels today (17 Sep), whilst discussing the EU’s flagship “Youth Unemployment Initiative”, the Eurocrats did nothing to change our mind. UKIP Daily, 18 September 2014 As independence looms large, the Centre cannot hold National independence movements are on the rise across Europe. From Scotland to Spain – as the European Union’s stranglehold hardens, demands for sovereignty are becoming even more vocal. Breitbart, 17 September 2014 European Parliamentarians’ fingers in the till Members of the European Parliament already get expense accounts and salaries off the scale, but now they’re just taking the … well you know what. The Commentator, 16 September 2014 The fight against EU immigration is a fight for our national character We don’t need lectures from Commissioner Andor on how Britain should be run, even if he feels entitled to share his opinion. Conservative Woman, 16 September 2014 EU membership is a threat to our national security Hard as it is for the Eurocrats of Brussels to accept, it is NATO, not the EU, which has kept peace in Europe for the last 70 years. Conservative Home, 11 September 2014 The EU’s Cynical Ruse With the EU’s latest sly ruse, David Cameron, along with the rest of the political establishment, has been outfoxed by an age-old game of expectation management. The Commentator, 11 September 2014 Shame of fake EU Climate Change “aid” to Third World It is quite staggering that the EU is “helping” poverty stricken countries in Africa by pumping taxpayers’ money into, wait for it, “green energy”. The figures have to be seen to be believed. The Commentator, 9 September 2014 Energy prices continue to rise thanks to the Luddite EU The greatest harm inflicted by the EU’s energy policies is more than mere stifling of consumer choice, but in making energy more expensive, increasing household energy bills and devastating industry. Breitbart, 6 September 2014 ‘Lord Who’ Given Minor EU Portfolio: Slap Down For Cameron Today, a leaked EU document crushed David Cameron’s hopes for an important economic portfolio for his EU Commission nominee, Lord Hill. Breitbart, 4 September 2014 British influence in Brussels. What British influence? As a new study shows, the vast majority of British objections to Brussels policies are completely ignored. Europhiles who say we have to stay in the EU to protect our “influence” are, as usual, totally deluded. The Commentator, 3 September 2014 EU remains ‘Hungary’ for British money In the last month, Britain has contributed over 10 billion pounds to help fight unemployment in four other EU states. Breitbart, 2 September 2014 Immigration reform is impossible in the EU There is no way around this one, and the latest figures confirm the point: We can’t be members of the EU and control our immigration. The Commentator, 31 August 2014 Leaving the EU is the only way to cut immigration It has become a familiar routine to hear Cameron plead he can reduce net migration, and for the Office of National Statistics to publish figures which reveal the futility of his efforts. Breitbart, 31 August 2014 Juncker’s tokenism over female appointments is another reason for our quitting the EU The Treaty on European Union states one of the EU’s most important purposes is to “combat discrimination”, so why is Juncker threatening to block male EU Commissioners from the top jobs? The Conservative Woman, 27 August 2014 Retired Eurocrats get their snouts in the trough As British pensioners feel the pinch, there’s no austerity in Brussels. The European Commission has been caught shamefully splashing out billions more to line the pockets of retired EU cronies.

Breitbart, 17 August 2014 The EU wants to destroy the City As well as pure envy at our extraordinary success, EU attacks on the City are inspired by long-standing hostility to the “Anglo-American” model. In contrast to EU statism, that model has the shocking temerity to actually work. The Commentator, 16 August 2014 UK and the EU? Facts, unity, courage will get us out Tim Hedges calls for a united campaign for withdrawal from the EU between thinktanks including the “formidable pressure group” Get Britain Out.

The Commentator, 11 August 2014 EU chief scientific adviser says her work should be kept secret EU technocrats hate democracy and love secrecy. Now EU chief scientific adviser says the public should not know what advice she gives. Breitbart, 9 August 2014 Boris or not, the Tories will never sell us Euroscepticism again Not for the first time, London Mayor Boris Johnson has waded into the debate over Europe, saying London is better off leaving an ‘unreformed’ European Union (EU) and that there’s no need to fear an EU exit. Breitbart, 6 August 2014 Last orders for arch European federalist Renaming a favourite Eurocrat bar after a relic of 20th century socialism and a proponent of unlimited federalism offers a piquant reminder of why Britain needs to get out of the EU as soon as possible. The Commentator, 3 August 2014 EU says “Hard Cheese” to Swiss Democracy The Swiss voted in a referendum to introduce a quota system on immigration. Very democratic. Which is why the EU hates it and is treating Switzerland with contempt. The Commentator, 28 July 2014 EU ‘grand theft’ of aid budget How the EC pockets aid money meant for the worlds poorest. Parliament Magazine, 28 July 2014 The EU’s tactics over Ukraine are fatally flawed Whatever your position on the Ukraine crisis, it has exposed the utter impotence of the EU and the fatal flaw behind the concept of the European super-state. Breitbart, 25 July 2014 Commonwealth or EU: which is best for Britain’s future? In a decade the Commonwealth will be a bigger economic power than the EU – but we can have free trade relations with both. The Commentator, 25 July 2014 UK Government confirms huge abuse of EU free movement rules The report exposes how criminals are using this EU law to “import human trafficking victims, illegal immigrants as well as illicit commodities, including rugs and counterfeit goods”. Breitbart, 24 July 2014 Keep your eye on the ball. The real story is Europe The actual vote by the European Parliament, confirming the election of Juncker as President, was barely mentioned. Such is the anti-democratic nature of the EU. The Commentator, 21 July 2014 The EU’s ‘Free’ Trade Treaty Will Enslave Britain With the latest round of negotiations for the new EU-US trade treaty starting on Monday, left-wing activists are finally waking up to the threat the EU poses to the rights of the British working class. Breitbart, 10 July 2014 GBO Comment: Bin the EU Instead Many of us have concluded that the EU is a load of rubbish. Little did we know that this is not just a figure of speech The Commentator 4 July 2014 Britain’s Natural Home is the Commonwealth, not the EU A deep divide is growing between Britain and the EU as the latter piles on regulations in the name of the Single Market. The Commonwealth is the best alternative to EU membership. Breitbart, 4 July 2014 EU Enlargement continues to rile Russia, Putin claims another series of victories While the Ukraine crisis rumbles on, a number of seemingly unconnected events in Eastern Europe are building up increasing instability Breitbart, 29 June 2014 EU doors open to Europe’s trafficking capital If you thought criminal gangs from Romania were a problem you ain’t seen nothing yet. The EU’s latest crazy idea is to bring in Albania, the drug and people trafficking capital of Europe. The Commentator, 27 June 2014 EU ignores 2 million-strong demand for end to embryo research A petition proposing to stop the EU funding the destruction of human embryos has been ignored by the Commission. The Conservative Woman, 7 June 2014 Brazen Brussels milks Britain for more money Make no mistake about it, the latest demand for cash from Brussels is the EU’s petulant and small minded way of slapping the European public across the face for daring to vote against the beloved project The Commentator, 29 May 2014 Britain rejects Cameron’s Renegotiation and Miliband’s Fence Sitting The results say it all. UKIP have topped the European Election results with a 27.5 percent share of the vote, beating both the Labour and Conservative Parties Breitbart, 28 May 2014 Clegg Battered and Bruised by Eurosceptic Majority Twice Nick Clegg attempted to debate Nigel Farage, the champion of the Eurosceptic cause in Britain, and twice he limped back bloodied and humiliated. The Huffington Post, 27 May 2014 UK public ‘completely powerless’ in selection of commission president According to Jean-Claude Junker, the frontrunner for the new European commission presidency, its not his problem that the EU will end up with a president no-one in Britain voted for.

Let’s get Britain out of this mess as soon as possible. 5 February – The Commentator The EU Needs Britain? TOUGH! As we approach the European Council summit on February 18th and 19th, the renegotiation rhetoric we are used to hearing from the Prime Minister is intensifying. 2 February – Huffington Post No, Brexit won’t harm or downgrade Britain abroad Third rate analysts in tandem with Europhile scaremongerers say Britain will lose influence in the world after Brexit. The exact oppositie is true: a globaly-oriented Britain will be free from the narrow and insular regionalism of Brussels.

The Commentator – 12 December EU Dictatorship Burns Brightly in Time for Christmas The EU’s new candle directive includes – ‘never leave a burning candle unattended.’ What a waste of money! Huffington Post – 8 December NATO can react to a volatile world — not the EU You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. We live in a volatile and dangerous world.

Huffington Post – 30 October Elephant Trophies, Puppy Trafficking and Cattle to Warzones… The EU’s so-called ‘Good’ Animal Rights Record It is sometimes said the European Union plays a major role in the protection of animals across the globe. However, this is not a subject that critics of the Union put under the microscope on a regular basis. Huffington Post – 26 October On the EU, the CBI speaks for itself, not British interests Ultimately, the CBI has a clear vested interest in the UK remaining in the EU and is being driven by its own desire to maintain its status as the “the UK’s premier business lobbying organisation”. ConservativeHome, 22 October EU chooses corporatism on E-Cigarettes The appalling hypocrisy coming out of Brussels on e-cigarettes poses a clear and present danger to people’s health. The Commentator, 15 October An Open Letter to Megan Dunn, President of the NUS Get Britain Out researcher writes an open letter to pro-EU President of the National Union of Students Huffington Post, 14 October The EU Referendum Is Being Swept Under The Carpet It is clear the gap between the Conservative grassroots and the front bench is getting larger. Breitbart, 9 October Merkel set to win Nobel prize after disastrous year for Europe Why was Merkel in the running?

The Commentator, 9 October The EU’s betrayal of Britain’s fishing industry The EU’s fisheries policies have been a disaster for Britain, destroying communities along our coasts. The Commentator, 2 October The EU is no Friend of Britain’s Small Businesses Why does the EU raise barriers to entry for our small businesses struggling to get a foothold? Breitbart London, 30 September Barmy Brussels Latest Call for Gender Equality Our campaign to Get Britain Out has revealed to the Daily Express Brussels politicians want schoolboys to learn about vacuum cleaning and dusting as part of a drive against “sexist” education. Textbooks that reinforce old-fashioned stereotypes about male and female roles would also be banned under a package backed in the European Parliament. Daily Express, 11 September Another nail in the coffin of Cameron’s EU promise The total chaos surrounding the migration crisis is a disaster for everyone involved. And so is the nature of the debate. The reality is that we must get Britain out of the EU if we are going to begin solving the problem. The Commentator, 8 September Germany stirs political turmoil in Greece… again! The appalling attacks on Greek democracy by the German-led EU are a stark illustration of precisely why we need to get Britain out as soon as possible. The Commentator, 4 September Europhile Glee for Obama is Naive US President Barack Obama recently said: “Having the United Kingdom in the European Union gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union.” thereby charging headlong into the minefield of Anglo-European relations. The Great British public must not be fooled by such impulsive comments. Breitbart London, 17 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. Better Off Out, 14 August David Cameron’s Renegotiation is Already Dead Some Eurosceptics are taking the “wait and see” approach, while David Cameron’s renegotiation on the terms of our EU membership goes on, under the illusion he might secure some adequate reforms. Now some ministers are beginning to realise he can’t deliver on his promises. Breitbart London, 14 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. The Commentator, 12 August Lynton Crosby’s poll is a headache for Cameron Lynton Crosby, mastermind of the Tory election victory, recently presented a secret poll to David Cameron on why and how he won. Key findings on the public’s concerns about the EU and immigration will haunt the Prime Minister in his vain efforts for a substantial renegotiation with Brussels. The Commentator, 4 August Has the Troika destroyed Greece? In recent days and weeks, we have seen the financial and political elite of Europe humiliate Greece with the country’s economy collapsing before our eyes. The Commentator, 24 July Declining EU is Overrated as a Trading Power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. It is the past. The Commentator, 23 July Will Britain Face The Same EU Dilemma As Greece? With Greek MPs being given the choice between giving up sovereignty or leaving the eurozone the UK should beware of a similar ultimatum being one day issued to them concerning their membership of the EU. Breitbart London, 23 July Declining EU is overrated as a trading power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. The Commentator, 23 July EU Uses Fear of Terror to Expand its Surveillance Powers Over growing fears of Islamist terror attacks, the EU is exploiting public fear to expand its surveillance capabilities. This conceited effort to override current national co-operation is not the solution. Breitbart London, 22 July Brussels Belittles Women with PC-Crusade Against the “Glass Ceiling” The EU has proposed imposing bizarre new measures to encourage more women to stay in science and technical careers, citing a “glass ceiling” holding back their advancement. It will surprise absolutely no one the measures reek of misguided political correctness. Breitbart London, 14 July EU tyranny finally crushes the birthplace of democracy The big lesson the EU has “learned” from the Greek crisis is that the democratic will of the people must be suppressed even further. As Brussels crushes democracy in its birthplace, the seeds of a neo-authoritarian superstate have been definitively sown. The Commentator, 14 July UK’s success means EU contributions rise by over £3 billion It is clear the EU has very little interest in David Cameron’s renegotiation process, as they are far more concerned with saving the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Brussels keeps punishing Britain for its economic success, demanding soaring contributions. The Commentator, 10 July Greece’s brave choice – “OXI” to the tyrannical EU We in Britain will soon be facing our In/Out referendum. Let the Greeks inspire us to fight to get Britain out of the tyrannical EU. The Commentator, 7 July Business Secretary Slaps Down Europhile Business Group Business Secretary Sajid Javid has fired a shot across the bows of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) regarding its recent claim Britain should remain in the European Union “no matter what”. Breitbart London, 3 July Vicious EU will let Athens burn for failed Euro dystopia As the EU’s neo-authoritarian clown in chief Jean-Claude Juncker intimidates Greece for the cheek of consulting the people, it’s now clear Brussels will burn Athens to the ground rather than admit their disastrous mistake of creating the dystopian Eurozone. The Commentator, 3 July EU wants control over our holiday snaps, amazingly enough Astounding as it may sound, the EU is considering proposals which could ban people from taking photos of iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, without copyright permission. The real motivation is an oppressive attack on social media. The Commentator, 1 July Distant Strasbourg Lawyers Do Not Guarantee Britain’s Rights During the celebrations of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we would do well to remember Britain’s civil and tolerant nature derives from our own traditions and not those handed down to us by the Eurocrats. Breitbart London, 21 June EU Commissioners Exploit Defence to Push Federalism Following EU President Jean-Claude Juncker’s call for an EU army, the European Parliament voted to implement the Common Security and Defence Policy last week. Breitbart London, 12 June No Signs of EU Reform Yet as Brussels Remains Belligerent As David Cameron continues his tour of European capitals, the EU cannot help but send out terrible signals to the British electorate. Breitbart London, 2 June Pro-EU SNP and Plaid aim to destroy Britain but lose independence The pro-EU SNP and Plaid Cymru want to break up Britain and cause havoc with Labour on the way. But don’t for a second think they want real self-determination. If they did, they wouldn’t be planning to turn Scotland and Wales into client states of Brussels. It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU. In light of this, it is unsurprising Brussels is now pushing for an integrated “European culture” programme to convince the Great British Public of our shared European culture. Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership. But aside from this, what are the EU policies of the other parties? Breitbart, 18 April Juncker drops EU renegotiation bombshell on Cameron It is official: David Cameron’s renegotiations are over before they have even begun. Yesterday unelected European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker announced there will be no changes to EU Treaties whilst he is in office. The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item. In any event, the famous tampon tax can’t be abolished unless we quit the EU, which we should do as soon as possible. The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries. Breitbart London, 9 April EU to Switch Off British Film Industry The fanatics in the European Commission now have their sights set on the UK television, film and music industries. The Commentator, 8 April Rampant Sexism in EU Institutions A gender equality investigation of key EU institutions by Get Britain Out has discovered that the bureaucrats of the EU are failing to practice what they preach. Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another. The Conservative Woman, 12 March An EU Army: a tragedy for our armed forces It becomes ever clearer why our armed forces are being cut to the bone. If we are heading to a federal Europe, we are going to get a European defence force, however useless it may be. The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape. By introducing a tax on British cider producers, Brussels is not only attacking the manufacturers, but the majority of British adults who enjoy cider, as well as scrumpy. Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU. What principle of justice prioritises Europeans over Indians and Canadians? None. It’s just bigotry. The Commentator, 5 March Putin is a nightmare, but the EU is making matters worse The brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov reminds us of just how different British and Russian political values are. This, however, does not mean we should allow the EU to stir up geopolitical and other problems we just don’t need. Britain would be far better making its own Russia policy, not being a slave to Brussels. The Commentator, 3 March The Church of England and the Archbishop of Brussels The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Left-wing bishops who run the Church of England, have published a 52-page pastoral letter stacked with leftist clichés, which calls for Britain to remain in the EU. Breitbart London, 25 February British government stifles EU debate The reasons the government is giving for blanking out debate on the EU in the run-up to the general election are frankly absurd. Why are they running away from this huge issue? The Commentator, 22 February The European Union Needs Us More than We Need Them This week EU Trade Commissioner Cecila Malmstroem warned Britain’s exit from the European Union would be a “disaster” both for Britain and the rest of the EU. Breitbart London, 21 February An Ideal EU? Not Likely The reforms outlined by Business for Britain cannot safeguard Britain’s independence. The root of the problem is the EU’s central institutions. It is an old fashioned, out of date model, unfit for the 21st Century. The Commentator, 17 February Wolf Hall: A Eurosceptic Drama At last, a programme which portrays sympathetically the fight for self-determination against continental potentates and their local enthusiasts. Conservative Home, 28 January 2015 EU VAT Rules: A Serious Threat to Small Business Changes to VAT rules will prove catastrophic to small businesses, to the burgeoning market for digital goods, and especially to women. UKIP Daily, 23 January 2015 Latest EU madness threatens our NHS Last week the Commons discussed the proposed EU-US free trade agreement. One of the most important aspects discussed was how the Treaty would impact the NHS. Brussels whacks Britain yet again. Let’s Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 19 January 2015 EU in the latest disastrous move to destroy small businesses Yet again, the European Union has blundered into legislation which will make life for small business a nightmare.This time it’s the turn of online business to be clobbered, and then strangled in growth and innovation destroying red tape. The Commentator, 15 January 2015 Cameron Bars Eurosceptic Ministers From Referendum David Cameron’s move to block ministers in a future Conservative government from campaigning to quit the EU is a sign of weakness. The Commentator, 5 January 2015 British Public Declare: “We Are not Europeans” Asked how European they saw themselves, 58 percent of Brits replied they saw themselves just as British and not as European. Breitbart, 24 December 2014 Santa won’t visit the EU, but a Eurosceptic Pope did The Pope, in his wisdom, gave the EU a stern warning — it has lost its way. The Commentator, 24 December 2014 Letting Turkey into the EU would be a disaster David Cameron has announced it is still his ‘long-standing goal’ to bring Turkey into the European Union – despite the complete disaster this would be for Britain. Breitbart, 12 December 2014 More Outrageous EU Demands Whenever Eurocrats realise their ambitious spending commitments cannot be fulfilled, they casually raid Britain’s coffers while our political classes do little more than fake outrage and horror. It will only stop of we Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 12 December 2014 EU migrants make up just four percent of the NHS workforce Recent research by Get Britain Out reveals the claim the NHS relies on EU migrant labour is just another attempt to peddle the myth Britain needs the European Union. Breitbart, 6 December 2014 Britain is strong enough to thrive outside the EU No-one thinks Britain is out of it yer, but as the UK creams the Eurozone in economic performance, we are reminded that the scaremongers in Brussels have nothing to give, and we must Get Britain Out of the EU, pronto! The Commentator, 5 December 2014 Fishy EU goes fishing at Britain’s expense To stop the fishing industry around our shores from perishing and to secure our fishing waters from exploitation, it is essential we must Get Britain Out of the EU. The Commentator, 3 December 2014 Cameron’s EU Immigration reforms will achieve nothing Cameron has finally proposed how he intends to try and reform EU immigration – but he has merely shown yet again he is completely out of touch with the needs of the Great British Public. Breitbart, 29 November 2014 Cameron’s EU speech: Wishful thinking and deception Cameron, as we saw in Friday’s speech, exemplifies much of what is wrong with British politics: the utter lack of conviction. Knee-jerk reactions and smoke-and-mirrors fool no one. Rather than persisting in the fantasy of a reformed EU, we must Get Britain Out, The Commentator, 29 November 2014 The EU: Watering a Dead Tree Europe’s economy is still on its knees, but the EU’s political classes have learned nothing from their self-inflicted folly. If your house has been burned down, the last thing to do is to mistake the arsonists for the firemen. The most pragmatic move is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 28 November 2014 The EU CAP damages developing economies – and ours We are still paying £11.3 billion a year to be part of a club which cuts the disposable income of the neediest in our society. Left Foot Forward, 28 November 2014 EU Puff, Smoke and Mirrors If we really want to stop being taxed for being successful, the only answer is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 18 November 2014 Time to hold the EU to account For the 19th year in a row, auditors have failed to sign off the EU’s accounts. What on earth is Britain doing staying part of this farce? The Commentator, 7 November 2014 As Commonwealth exports soar, economic case for leaving European Union grows The day our trade with the Anglosphere and Commonwealth eclipses our trade with Brussels is coming ever closer. Breitbart, 1 November 2014 Ditch anti-democratic Lib Dems for EU referendum Calling Nick Clegg and his band of wet europhiles Liberal Democrats is like calling the British National Party the Racial Harmony Party. The Commentator, 1 November 2014 Another EU rip-off While the EU is trying to rip Britain off, yet again, thousands of Eurocrats earn more than most heads of government. There is vast waste on much more besides. Britain has simply got to leave. The Commentator, 30 October 2014 Its official: There is no hope for EU reform It might have gone unnoticed by most but the handover of power in Brussels is complete: we officially have a new government ruling the federal state of which we are effectively a part. Breitbart, 23 October 2014 Caps on EU migrants are illegal. Got that Dave? The Great British Public should not fall for Cameron’s parlour trick. Any current plans to cap EU migrants will be illegal under EU law and are not deliverable until after successfully severing our ties to Brussels by getting out of the EU. The Commentator, 21 October 2014 Enforced at last: Britain’s EU referendum bill Finally, we are one step closer to a guaranteed EU referendum in 2017 beung enshrined in law. Breitbart, 18 October 2014 UKIP could support Tory minority for July 2015 EU referendum As the UKIP bandwagon rolls on, the prospect of UKIP holding the balance of power in the 2015 general election is becoming less and less impossible. Breitbart, 17 October 2014 Cameron’s EU budget cuts are a mirage Yet again, David Cameron’s half-baked promises on Europe amount to nonsense. Theres only one way for Britain, and thats out of the EU. The Commentator, 5 October 2014 After Scotland, no excuses against an EU referendum Everyone has praised the democratic marvel of Scotland’s referendum. Labour, Lib Dems and dithering Tories now have no excuse whatsoever for opposing a referendum on whether Britain stays in or quits the EU. The Commentator, 19 September 2014 Europe’s youth are being conned At Get Britain Out, we have long argued that the European Union is completely out of touch. In Brussels today (17 Sep), whilst discussing the EU’s flagship “Youth Unemployment Initiative”, the Eurocrats did nothing to change our mind. UKIP Daily, 18 September 2014 As independence looms large, the Centre cannot hold National independence movements are on the rise across Europe. From Scotland to Spain – as the European Union’s stranglehold hardens, demands for sovereignty are becoming even more vocal. Breitbart, 17 September 2014 European Parliamentarians’ fingers in the till Members of the European Parliament already get expense accounts and salaries off the scale, but now they’re just taking the … well you know what. The Commentator, 16 September 2014 The fight against EU immigration is a fight for our national character We don’t need lectures from Commissioner Andor on how Britain should be run, even if he feels entitled to share his opinion. Conservative Woman, 16 September 2014 EU membership is a threat to our national security Hard as it is for the Eurocrats of Brussels to accept, it is NATO, not the EU, which has kept peace in Europe for the last 70 years. Conservative Home, 11 September 2014 The EU’s Cynical Ruse With the EU’s latest sly ruse, David Cameron, along with the rest of the political establishment, has been outfoxed by an age-old game of expectation management. The Commentator, 11 September 2014 Shame of fake EU Climate Change “aid” to Third World It is quite staggering that the EU is “helping” poverty stricken countries in Africa by pumping taxpayers’ money into, wait for it, “green energy”. The figures have to be seen to be believed. The Commentator, 9 September 2014 Energy prices continue to rise thanks to the Luddite EU The greatest harm inflicted by the EU’s energy policies is more than mere stifling of consumer choice, but in making energy more expensive, increasing household energy bills and devastating industry. Breitbart, 6 September 2014 ‘Lord Who’ Given Minor EU Portfolio: Slap Down For Cameron Today, a leaked EU document crushed David Cameron’s hopes for an important economic portfolio for his EU Commission nominee, Lord Hill. Breitbart, 4 September 2014 British influence in Brussels. What British influence? As a new study shows, the vast majority of British objections to Brussels policies are completely ignored. Europhiles who say we have to stay in the EU to protect our “influence” are, as usual, totally deluded. The Commentator, 3 September 2014 EU remains ‘Hungary’ for British money In the last month, Britain has contributed over 10 billion pounds to help fight unemployment in four other EU states. Breitbart, 2 September 2014 Immigration reform is impossible in the EU There is no way around this one, and the latest figures confirm the point: We can’t be members of the EU and control our immigration. The Commentator, 31 August 2014 Leaving the EU is the only way to cut immigration It has become a familiar routine to hear Cameron plead he can reduce net migration, and for the Office of National Statistics to publish figures which reveal the futility of his efforts. Breitbart, 31 August 2014 Juncker’s tokenism over female appointments is another reason for our quitting the EU The Treaty on European Union states one of the EU’s most important purposes is to “combat discrimination”, so why is Juncker threatening to block male EU Commissioners from the top jobs? The Conservative Woman, 27 August 2014 Retired Eurocrats get their snouts in the trough As British pensioners feel the pinch, there’s no austerity in Brussels. The European Commission has been caught shamefully splashing out billions more to line the pockets of retired EU cronies. The Commentator, 24 August 2014 Britain’s Influence in Brussels Waning Britain’s clout in the EU continues to wane, making Cameron’s renegotiation, previously an unrealistic ambition, utterly impossible. Breitbart, 19 August 2014 Killing the EU “3 Million Jobs” whopper for good A schoolboy economics student, though maybe not a Lib Dem cabinet minister, could tell you the idea we’d lose 3 million jobs if we quit the EU is rubbish. The Commentator, 18 August 2014 How the European Union is a threat to vital, scientific research In a joint letter, twenty-eight of Europe’s leading academics have warned that European Union data protection laws risk harming vital research, especially social and health-related studies. Breitbart, 17 August 2014 The EU wants to destroy the City As well as pure envy at our extraordinary success, EU attacks on the City are inspired by long-standing hostility to the “Anglo-American” model. In contrast to EU statism, that model has the shocking temerity to actually work. The Commentator, 16 August 2014 UK and the EU? Facts, unity, courage will get us out Tim Hedges calls for a united campaign for withdrawal from the EU between thinktanks including the “formidable pressure group” Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 13 August 2014 The Ghost of Lisbon The remaining provisions of that disgrace to democracy known as the EU’s Lisbon Treaty are due to come into force on 1st of November, crippling what little is left of our sovereignty. The Commentator, 11 August 2014 EU chief scientific adviser says her work should be kept secret EU technocrats hate democracy and love secrecy. Now EU chief scientific adviser says the public should not know what advice she gives. Breitbart, 9 August 2014 Boris or not, the Tories will never sell us Euroscepticism again Not for the first time, London Mayor Boris Johnson has waded into the debate over Europe, saying London is better off leaving an ‘unreformed’ European Union (EU) and that there’s no need to fear an EU exit. Breitbart, 6 August 2014 Last orders for arch European federalist Renaming a favourite Eurocrat bar after a relic of 20th century socialism and a proponent of unlimited federalism offers a piquant reminder of why Britain needs to get out of the EU as soon as possible. The Commentator, 3 August 2014 EU says “Hard Cheese” to Swiss Democracy The Swiss voted in a referendum to introduce a quota system on immigration. Very democratic. Which is why the EU hates it and is treating Switzerland with contempt. The Commentator, 28 July 2014 EU ‘grand theft’ of aid budget How the EC pockets aid money meant for the worlds poorest. Parliament Magazine, 28 July 2014 The EU’s tactics over Ukraine are fatally flawed Whatever your position on the Ukraine crisis, it has exposed the utter impotence of the EU and the fatal flaw behind the concept of the European super-state. Breitbart, 25 July 2014 Commonwealth or EU: which is best for Britain’s future? In a decade the Commonwealth will be a bigger economic power than the EU – but we can have free trade relations with both. The Commentator, 25 July 2014 UK Government confirms huge abuse of EU free movement rules The report exposes how criminals are using this EU law to “import human trafficking victims, illegal immigrants as well as illicit commodities, including rugs and counterfeit goods”. Breitbart, 24 July 2014 Keep your eye on the ball. The real story is Europe The actual vote by the European Parliament, confirming the election of Juncker as President, was barely mentioned. Such is the anti-democratic nature of the EU. The Commentator, 21 July 2014 The EU’s ‘Free’ Trade Treaty Will Enslave Britain With the latest round of negotiations for the new EU-US trade treaty starting on Monday, left-wing activists are finally waking up to the threat the EU poses to the rights of the British working class. Breitbart, 10 July 2014 GBO Comment: Bin the EU Instead Many of us have concluded that the EU is a load of rubbish. Little did we know that this is not just a figure of speech The Commentator 4 July 2014 Britain’s Natural Home is the Commonwealth, not the EU A deep divide is growing between Britain and the EU as the latter piles on regulations in the name of the Single Market. The Commonwealth is the best alternative to EU membership. Breitbart, 4 July 2014 EU Enlargement continues to rile Russia, Putin claims another series of victories While the Ukraine crisis rumbles on, a number of seemingly unconnected events in Eastern Europe are building up increasing instability Breitbart, 29 June 2014 EU doors open to Europe’s trafficking capital If you thought criminal gangs from Romania were a problem you ain’t seen nothing yet. The EU’s latest crazy idea is to bring in Albania, the drug and people trafficking capital of Europe. The Commentator, 27 June 2014 EU ignores 2 million-strong demand for end to embryo research A petition proposing to stop the EU funding the destruction of human embryos has been ignored by the Commission. The Conservative Woman, 7 June 2014 Brazen Brussels milks Britain for more money Make no mistake about it, the latest demand for cash from Brussels is the EU’s petulant and small minded way of slapping the European public across the face for daring to vote against the beloved project The Commentator, 29 May 2014 Britain rejects Cameron’s Renegotiation and Miliband’s Fence Sitting The results say it all. UKIP have topped the European Election results with a 27.5 percent share of the vote, beating both the Labour and Conservative Parties Breitbart, 28 May 2014 Clegg Battered and Bruised by Eurosceptic Majority Twice Nick Clegg attempted to debate Nigel Farage, the champion of the Eurosceptic cause in Britain, and twice he limped back bloodied and humiliated. The Huffington Post, 27 May 2014 UK public ‘completely powerless’ in selection of commission president According to Jean-Claude Junker, the frontrunner for the new European commission presidency, its not his problem that the EU will end up with a president no-one in Britain voted for.

Let’s get Britain out of this mess as soon as possible. 5 February – The Commentator The EU Needs Britain? TOUGH! As we approach the European Council summit on February 18th and 19th, the renegotiation rhetoric we are used to hearing from the Prime Minister is intensifying. 2 February – Huffington Post No, Brexit won’t harm or downgrade Britain abroad Third rate analysts in tandem with Europhile scaremongerers say Britain will lose influence in the world after Brexit. The exact oppositie is true: a globaly-oriented Britain will be free from the narrow and insular regionalism of Brussels.

She’s certainly been Europe’s lead actor. But her European policies, in the long term, may well destroy the EU, and add more thunder to those calling for Britain to leave. The Commentator – 12 December EU Dictatorship Burns Brightly in Time for Christmas The EU’s new candle directive includes – ‘never leave a burning candle unattended.’ What a waste of money! Huffington Post – 8 December NATO can react to a volatile world — not the EU You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. We live in a volatile and dangerous world. NATO is our best bet, and the EU is a liability.

Huffington Post – 30 October Elephant Trophies, Puppy Trafficking and Cattle to Warzones… The EU’s so-called ‘Good’ Animal Rights Record It is sometimes said the European Union plays a major role in the protection of animals across the globe. However, this is not a subject that critics of the Union put under the microscope on a regular basis. Huffington Post – 26 October On the EU, the CBI speaks for itself, not British interests Ultimately, the CBI has a clear vested interest in the UK remaining in the EU and is being driven by its own desire to maintain its status as the “the UK’s premier business lobbying organisation”. ConservativeHome, 22 October EU chooses corporatism on E-Cigarettes The appalling hypocrisy coming out of Brussels on e-cigarettes poses a clear and present danger to people’s health. The Commentator, 15 October An Open Letter to Megan Dunn, President of the NUS Get Britain Out researcher writes an open letter to pro-EU President of the National Union of Students Huffington Post, 14 October The EU Referendum Is Being Swept Under The Carpet It is clear the gap between the Conservative grassroots and the front bench is getting larger. Breitbart, 9 October Merkel set to win Nobel prize after disastrous year for Europe Why was Merkel in the running?

The Commentator, 9 October The EU’s betrayal of Britain’s fishing industry The EU’s fisheries policies have been a disaster for Britain, destroying communities along our coasts. The Commentator, 2 October The EU is no Friend of Britain’s Small Businesses Why does the EU raise barriers to entry for our small businesses struggling to get a foothold? Breitbart London, 30 September Barmy Brussels Latest Call for Gender Equality Our campaign to Get Britain Out has revealed to the Daily Express Brussels politicians want schoolboys to learn about vacuum cleaning and dusting as part of a drive against “sexist” education. Textbooks that reinforce old-fashioned stereotypes about male and female roles would also be banned under a package backed in the European Parliament. Daily Express, 11 September Another nail in the coffin of Cameron’s EU promise The total chaos surrounding the migration crisis is a disaster for everyone involved. And so is the nature of the debate. The reality is that we must get Britain out of the EU if we are going to begin solving the problem. The Commentator, 8 September Germany stirs political turmoil in Greece… again! The appalling attacks on Greek democracy by the German-led EU are a stark illustration of precisely why we need to get Britain out as soon as possible. The Commentator, 4 September Europhile Glee for Obama is Naive US President Barack Obama recently said: “Having the United Kingdom in the European Union gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union.” thereby charging headlong into the minefield of Anglo-European relations. The Great British public must not be fooled by such impulsive comments. Breitbart London, 17 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. Better Off Out, 14 August David Cameron’s Renegotiation is Already Dead Some Eurosceptics are taking the “wait and see” approach, while David Cameron’s renegotiation on the terms of our EU membership goes on, under the illusion he might secure some adequate reforms. Now some ministers are beginning to realise he can’t deliver on his promises. Breitbart London, 14 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. The Commentator, 12 August Lynton Crosby’s poll is a headache for Cameron Lynton Crosby, mastermind of the Tory election victory, recently presented a secret poll to David Cameron on why and how he won. Key findings on the public’s concerns about the EU and immigration will haunt the Prime Minister in his vain efforts for a substantial renegotiation with Brussels. The Commentator, 4 August Has the Troika destroyed Greece? In recent days and weeks, we have seen the financial and political elite of Europe humiliate Greece with the country’s economy collapsing before our eyes. The Commentator, 24 July Declining EU is Overrated as a Trading Power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. It is the past. The Commentator, 23 July Will Britain Face The Same EU Dilemma As Greece? With Greek MPs being given the choice between giving up sovereignty or leaving the eurozone the UK should beware of a similar ultimatum being one day issued to them concerning their membership of the EU. Breitbart London, 23 July Declining EU is overrated as a trading power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. The Commentator, 23 July EU Uses Fear of Terror to Expand its Surveillance Powers Over growing fears of Islamist terror attacks, the EU is exploiting public fear to expand its surveillance capabilities. This conceited effort to override current national co-operation is not the solution. Breitbart London, 22 July Brussels Belittles Women with PC-Crusade Against the “Glass Ceiling” The EU has proposed imposing bizarre new measures to encourage more women to stay in science and technical careers, citing a “glass ceiling” holding back their advancement. It will surprise absolutely no one the measures reek of misguided political correctness. Breitbart London, 14 July EU tyranny finally crushes the birthplace of democracy The big lesson the EU has “learned” from the Greek crisis is that the democratic will of the people must be suppressed even further. As Brussels crushes democracy in its birthplace, the seeds of a neo-authoritarian superstate have been definitively sown. The Commentator, 14 July UK’s success means EU contributions rise by over £3 billion It is clear the EU has very little interest in David Cameron’s renegotiation process, as they are far more concerned with saving the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Brussels keeps punishing Britain for its economic success, demanding soaring contributions. The Commentator, 10 July Greece’s brave choice – “OXI” to the tyrannical EU We in Britain will soon be facing our In/Out referendum. Let the Greeks inspire us to fight to get Britain out of the tyrannical EU. The Commentator, 7 July Business Secretary Slaps Down Europhile Business Group Business Secretary Sajid Javid has fired a shot across the bows of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) regarding its recent claim Britain should remain in the European Union “no matter what”. Breitbart London, 3 July Vicious EU will let Athens burn for failed Euro dystopia As the EU’s neo-authoritarian clown in chief Jean-Claude Juncker intimidates Greece for the cheek of consulting the people, it’s now clear Brussels will burn Athens to the ground rather than admit their disastrous mistake of creating the dystopian Eurozone. The Commentator, 3 July EU wants control over our holiday snaps, amazingly enough Astounding as it may sound, the EU is considering proposals which could ban people from taking photos of iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, without copyright permission. The real motivation is an oppressive attack on social media. The Commentator, 1 July Distant Strasbourg Lawyers Do Not Guarantee Britain’s Rights During the celebrations of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we would do well to remember Britain’s civil and tolerant nature derives from our own traditions and not those handed down to us by the Eurocrats. Breitbart London, 21 June EU Commissioners Exploit Defence to Push Federalism Following EU President Jean-Claude Juncker’s call for an EU army, the European Parliament voted to implement the Common Security and Defence Policy last week. Breitbart London, 12 June No Signs of EU Reform Yet as Brussels Remains Belligerent As David Cameron continues his tour of European capitals, the EU cannot help but send out terrible signals to the British electorate. Breitbart London, 2 June Pro-EU SNP and Plaid aim to destroy Britain but lose independence The pro-EU SNP and Plaid Cymru want to break up Britain and cause havoc with Labour on the way. But don’t for a second think they want real self-determination. If they did, they wouldn’t be planning to turn Scotland and Wales into client states of Brussels. It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU. In light of this, it is unsurprising Brussels is now pushing for an integrated “European culture” programme to convince the Great British Public of our shared European culture. Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership. But aside from this, what are the EU policies of the other parties? Breitbart, 18 April Juncker drops EU renegotiation bombshell on Cameron It is official: David Cameron’s renegotiations are over before they have even begun. Yesterday unelected European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker announced there will be no changes to EU Treaties whilst he is in office. The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item. In any event, the famous tampon tax can’t be abolished unless we quit the EU, which we should do as soon as possible. The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries. Breitbart London, 9 April EU to Switch Off British Film Industry The fanatics in the European Commission now have their sights set on the UK television, film and music industries. The Commentator, 8 April Rampant Sexism in EU Institutions A gender equality investigation of key EU institutions by Get Britain Out has discovered that the bureaucrats of the EU are failing to practice what they preach. Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another. The Conservative Woman, 12 March An EU Army: a tragedy for our armed forces It becomes ever clearer why our armed forces are being cut to the bone. If we are heading to a federal Europe, we are going to get a European defence force, however useless it may be. The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape. By introducing a tax on British cider producers, Brussels is not only attacking the manufacturers, but the majority of British adults who enjoy cider, as well as scrumpy. Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU. What principle of justice prioritises Europeans over Indians and Canadians? None. It’s just bigotry. The Commentator, 5 March Putin is a nightmare, but the EU is making matters worse The brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov reminds us of just how different British and Russian political values are. This, however, does not mean we should allow the EU to stir up geopolitical and other problems we just don’t need. Britain would be far better making its own Russia policy, not being a slave to Brussels. The Commentator, 3 March The Church of England and the Archbishop of Brussels The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Left-wing bishops who run the Church of England, have published a 52-page pastoral letter stacked with leftist clichés, which calls for Britain to remain in the EU. Breitbart London, 25 February British government stifles EU debate The reasons the government is giving for blanking out debate on the EU in the run-up to the general election are frankly absurd. Why are they running away from this huge issue? The Commentator, 22 February The European Union Needs Us More than We Need Them This week EU Trade Commissioner Cecila Malmstroem warned Britain’s exit from the European Union would be a “disaster” both for Britain and the rest of the EU. Breitbart London, 21 February An Ideal EU? Not Likely The reforms outlined by Business for Britain cannot safeguard Britain’s independence. The root of the problem is the EU’s central institutions. It is an old fashioned, out of date model, unfit for the 21st Century. The Commentator, 17 February Wolf Hall: A Eurosceptic Drama At last, a programme which portrays sympathetically the fight for self-determination against continental potentates and their local enthusiasts. Conservative Home, 28 January 2015 EU VAT Rules: A Serious Threat to Small Business Changes to VAT rules will prove catastrophic to small businesses, to the burgeoning market for digital goods, and especially to women. UKIP Daily, 23 January 2015 Latest EU madness threatens our NHS Last week the Commons discussed the proposed EU-US free trade agreement. One of the most important aspects discussed was how the Treaty would impact the NHS. Brussels whacks Britain yet again. Let’s Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 19 January 2015 EU in the latest disastrous move to destroy small businesses Yet again, the European Union has blundered into legislation which will make life for small business a nightmare.This time it’s the turn of online business to be clobbered, and then strangled in growth and innovation destroying red tape. The Commentator, 15 January 2015 Cameron Bars Eurosceptic Ministers From Referendum David Cameron’s move to block ministers in a future Conservative government from campaigning to quit the EU is a sign of weakness. The Commentator, 5 January 2015 British Public Declare: “We Are not Europeans” Asked how European they saw themselves, 58 percent of Brits replied they saw themselves just as British and not as European. Breitbart, 24 December 2014 Santa won’t visit the EU, but a Eurosceptic Pope did The Pope, in his wisdom, gave the EU a stern warning — it has lost its way. The Commentator, 24 December 2014 Letting Turkey into the EU would be a disaster David Cameron has announced it is still his ‘long-standing goal’ to bring Turkey into the European Union – despite the complete disaster this would be for Britain. Breitbart, 12 December 2014 More Outrageous EU Demands Whenever Eurocrats realise their ambitious spending commitments cannot be fulfilled, they casually raid Britain’s coffers while our political classes do little more than fake outrage and horror. It will only stop of we Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 12 December 2014 EU migrants make up just four percent of the NHS workforce Recent research by Get Britain Out reveals the claim the NHS relies on EU migrant labour is just another attempt to peddle the myth Britain needs the European Union. Breitbart, 6 December 2014 Britain is strong enough to thrive outside the EU No-one thinks Britain is out of it yer, but as the UK creams the Eurozone in economic performance, we are reminded that the scaremongers in Brussels have nothing to give, and we must Get Britain Out of the EU, pronto! The Commentator, 5 December 2014 Fishy EU goes fishing at Britain’s expense To stop the fishing industry around our shores from perishing and to secure our fishing waters from exploitation, it is essential we must Get Britain Out of the EU. The Commentator, 3 December 2014 Cameron’s EU Immigration reforms will achieve nothing Cameron has finally proposed how he intends to try and reform EU immigration – but he has merely shown yet again he is completely out of touch with the needs of the Great British Public. Breitbart, 29 November 2014 Cameron’s EU speech: Wishful thinking and deception Cameron, as we saw in Friday’s speech, exemplifies much of what is wrong with British politics: the utter lack of conviction. Knee-jerk reactions and smoke-and-mirrors fool no one. Rather than persisting in the fantasy of a reformed EU, we must Get Britain Out, The Commentator, 29 November 2014 The EU: Watering a Dead Tree Europe’s economy is still on its knees, but the EU’s political classes have learned nothing from their self-inflicted folly. If your house has been burned down, the last thing to do is to mistake the arsonists for the firemen. The most pragmatic move is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 28 November 2014 The EU CAP damages developing economies – and ours We are still paying £11.3 billion a year to be part of a club which cuts the disposable income of the neediest in our society. Left Foot Forward, 28 November 2014 EU Puff, Smoke and Mirrors If we really want to stop being taxed for being successful, the only answer is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 18 November 2014 Time to hold the EU to account For the 19th year in a row, auditors have failed to sign off the EU’s accounts. What on earth is Britain doing staying part of this farce? The Commentator, 7 November 2014 As Commonwealth exports soar, economic case for leaving European Union grows The day our trade with the Anglosphere and Commonwealth eclipses our trade with Brussels is coming ever closer. Breitbart, 1 November 2014 Ditch anti-democratic Lib Dems for EU referendum Calling Nick Clegg and his band of wet europhiles Liberal Democrats is like calling the British National Party the Racial Harmony Party. The Commentator, 1 November 2014 Another EU rip-off While the EU is trying to rip Britain off, yet again, thousands of Eurocrats earn more than most heads of government. There is vast waste on much more besides. Britain has simply got to leave. The Commentator, 30 October 2014 Its official: There is no hope for EU reform It might have gone unnoticed by most but the handover of power in Brussels is complete: we officially have a new government ruling the federal state of which we are effectively a part. Breitbart, 23 October 2014 Caps on EU migrants are illegal. Got that Dave? The Great British Public should not fall for Cameron’s parlour trick. Any current plans to cap EU migrants will be illegal under EU law and are not deliverable until after successfully severing our ties to Brussels by getting out of the EU. The Commentator, 21 October 2014 Enforced at last: Britain’s EU referendum bill Finally, we are one step closer to a guaranteed EU referendum in 2017 beung enshrined in law. Breitbart, 18 October 2014 UKIP could support Tory minority for July 2015 EU referendum As the UKIP bandwagon rolls on, the prospect of UKIP holding the balance of power in the 2015 general election is becoming less and less impossible. Breitbart, 17 October 2014 Cameron’s EU budget cuts are a mirage Yet again, David Cameron’s half-baked promises on Europe amount to nonsense. Theres only one way for Britain, and thats out of the EU. The Commentator, 5 October 2014 After Scotland, no excuses against an EU referendum Everyone has praised the democratic marvel of Scotland’s referendum. Labour, Lib Dems and dithering Tories now have no excuse whatsoever for opposing a referendum on whether Britain stays in or quits the EU. The Commentator, 19 September 2014 Europe’s youth are being conned At Get Britain Out, we have long argued that the European Union is completely out of touch. In Brussels today (17 Sep), whilst discussing the EU’s flagship “Youth Unemployment Initiative”, the Eurocrats did nothing to change our mind. UKIP Daily, 18 September 2014 As independence looms large, the Centre cannot hold National independence movements are on the rise across Europe. From Scotland to Spain – as the European Union’s stranglehold hardens, demands for sovereignty are becoming even more vocal. Breitbart, 17 September 2014 European Parliamentarians’ fingers in the till Members of the European Parliament already get expense accounts and salaries off the scale, but now they’re just taking the … well you know what. The Commentator, 16 September 2014 The fight against EU immigration is a fight for our national character We don’t need lectures from Commissioner Andor on how Britain should be run, even if he feels entitled to share his opinion. Conservative Woman, 16 September 2014 EU membership is a threat to our national security Hard as it is for the Eurocrats of Brussels to accept, it is NATO, not the EU, which has kept peace in Europe for the last 70 years. Conservative Home, 11 September 2014 The EU’s Cynical Ruse With the EU’s latest sly ruse, David Cameron, along with the rest of the political establishment, has been outfoxed by an age-old game of expectation management. The Commentator, 11 September 2014 Shame of fake EU Climate Change “aid” to Third World It is quite staggering that the EU is “helping” poverty stricken countries in Africa by pumping taxpayers’ money into, wait for it, “green energy”. The figures have to be seen to be believed. The Commentator, 9 September 2014 Energy prices continue to rise thanks to the Luddite EU The greatest harm inflicted by the EU’s energy policies is more than mere stifling of consumer choice, but in making energy more expensive, increasing household energy bills and devastating industry. Breitbart, 6 September 2014 ‘Lord Who’ Given Minor EU Portfolio: Slap Down For Cameron Today, a leaked EU document crushed David Cameron’s hopes for an important economic portfolio for his EU Commission nominee, Lord Hill. Breitbart, 4 September 2014 British influence in Brussels. What British influence? As a new study shows, the vast majority of British objections to Brussels policies are completely ignored. Europhiles who say we have to stay in the EU to protect our “influence” are, as usual, totally deluded. The Commentator, 3 September 2014 EU remains ‘Hungary’ for British money In the last month, Britain has contributed over 10 billion pounds to help fight unemployment in four other EU states. Breitbart, 2 September 2014 Immigration reform is impossible in the EU There is no way around this one, and the latest figures confirm the point: We can’t be members of the EU and control our immigration. The Commentator, 31 August 2014 Leaving the EU is the only way to cut immigration It has become a familiar routine to hear Cameron plead he can reduce net migration, and for the Office of National Statistics to publish figures which reveal the futility of his efforts. Breitbart, 31 August 2014 Juncker’s tokenism over female appointments is another reason for our quitting the EU The Treaty on European Union states one of the EU’s most important purposes is to “combat discrimination”, so why is Juncker threatening to block male EU Commissioners from the top jobs? The Conservative Woman, 27 August 2014 Retired Eurocrats get their snouts in the trough As British pensioners feel the pinch, there’s no austerity in Brussels. The European Commission has been caught shamefully splashing out billions more to line the pockets of retired EU cronies. The Commentator, 24 August 2014 Britain’s Influence in Brussels Waning Britain’s clout in the EU continues to wane, making Cameron’s renegotiation, previously an unrealistic ambition, utterly impossible. Breitbart, 19 August 2014 Killing the EU “3 Million Jobs” whopper for good A schoolboy economics student, though maybe not a Lib Dem cabinet minister, could tell you the idea we’d lose 3 million jobs if we quit the EU is rubbish. The Commentator, 18 August 2014 How the European Union is a threat to vital, scientific research In a joint letter, twenty-eight of Europe’s leading academics have warned that European Union data protection laws risk harming vital research, especially social and health-related studies. Breitbart, 17 August 2014 The EU wants to destroy the City As well as pure envy at our extraordinary success, EU attacks on the City are inspired by long-standing hostility to the “Anglo-American” model. In contrast to EU statism, that model has the shocking temerity to actually work. The Commentator, 16 August 2014 UK and the EU? Facts, unity, courage will get us out Tim Hedges calls for a united campaign for withdrawal from the EU between thinktanks including the “formidable pressure group” Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 13 August 2014 The Ghost of Lisbon The remaining provisions of that disgrace to democracy known as the EU’s Lisbon Treaty are due to come into force on 1st of November, crippling what little is left of our sovereignty. The Commentator, 11 August 2014 EU chief scientific adviser says her work should be kept secret EU technocrats hate democracy and love secrecy. Now EU chief scientific adviser says the public should not know what advice she gives. Breitbart, 9 August 2014 Boris or not, the Tories will never sell us Euroscepticism again Not for the first time, London Mayor Boris Johnson has waded into the debate over Europe, saying London is better off leaving an ‘unreformed’ European Union (EU) and that there’s no need to fear an EU exit. Breitbart, 6 August 2014 Last orders for arch European federalist Renaming a favourite Eurocrat bar after a relic of 20th century socialism and a proponent of unlimited federalism offers a piquant reminder of why Britain needs to get out of the EU as soon as possible. The Commentator, 3 August 2014 EU says “Hard Cheese” to Swiss Democracy The Swiss voted in a referendum to introduce a quota system on immigration. Very democratic. Which is why the EU hates it and is treating Switzerland with contempt. The Commentator, 28 July 2014 EU ‘grand theft’ of aid budget How the EC pockets aid money meant for the worlds poorest. Parliament Magazine, 28 July 2014 The EU’s tactics over Ukraine are fatally flawed Whatever your position on the Ukraine crisis, it has exposed the utter impotence of the EU and the fatal flaw behind the concept of the European super-state. Breitbart, 25 July 2014 Commonwealth or EU: which is best for Britain’s future? In a decade the Commonwealth will be a bigger economic power than the EU – but we can have free trade relations with both. The Commentator, 25 July 2014 UK Government confirms huge abuse of EU free movement rules The report exposes how criminals are using this EU law to “import human trafficking victims, illegal immigrants as well as illicit commodities, including rugs and counterfeit goods”. Breitbart, 24 July 2014 Keep your eye on the ball. The real story is Europe The actual vote by the European Parliament, confirming the election of Juncker as President, was barely mentioned. Such is the anti-democratic nature of the EU. The Commentator, 21 July 2014 The EU’s ‘Free’ Trade Treaty Will Enslave Britain With the latest round of negotiations for the new EU-US trade treaty starting on Monday, left-wing activists are finally waking up to the threat the EU poses to the rights of the British working class. Breitbart, 10 July 2014 GBO Comment: Bin the EU Instead Many of us have concluded that the EU is a load of rubbish. Little did we know that this is not just a figure of speech The Commentator 4 July 2014 Britain’s Natural Home is the Commonwealth, not the EU A deep divide is growing between Britain and the EU as the latter piles on regulations in the name of the Single Market. The Commonwealth is the best alternative to EU membership. Breitbart, 4 July 2014 EU Enlargement continues to rile Russia, Putin claims another series of victories While the Ukraine crisis rumbles on, a number of seemingly unconnected events in Eastern Europe are building up increasing instability Breitbart, 29 June 2014 EU doors open to Europe’s trafficking capital If you thought criminal gangs from Romania were a problem you ain’t seen nothing yet. The EU’s latest crazy idea is to bring in Albania, the drug and people trafficking capital of Europe. The Commentator, 27 June 2014 EU ignores 2 million-strong demand for end to embryo research A petition proposing to stop the EU funding the destruction of human embryos has been ignored by the Commission. The Conservative Woman, 7 June 2014 Brazen Brussels milks Britain for more money Make no mistake about it, the latest demand for cash from Brussels is the EU’s petulant and small minded way of slapping the European public across the face for daring to vote against the beloved project The Commentator, 29 May 2014 Britain rejects Cameron’s Renegotiation and Miliband’s Fence Sitting The results say it all. UKIP have topped the European Election results with a 27.5 percent share of the vote, beating both the Labour and Conservative Parties Breitbart, 28 May 2014 Clegg Battered and Bruised by Eurosceptic Majority Twice Nick Clegg attempted to debate Nigel Farage, the champion of the Eurosceptic cause in Britain, and twice he limped back bloodied and humiliated. The Huffington Post, 27 May 2014 UK public ‘completely powerless’ in selection of commission president According to Jean-Claude Junker, the frontrunner for the new European commission presidency, its not his problem that the EU will end up with a president no-one in Britain voted for.

"In? Out? It's about as relevant to working people as the question of who lives at No.10 Downing Street. Which is to say not relevant at all. Not even slightly." My view too. It will not make one iota of difference to my life. I think should we leave there is going to be some bitterly disappointed people when they realise their lives remain the same and they'll have to scratch around to find someone/thing else to blame for their lot. | |||

"It would be beautifully poetic for the UK to vote Leave, only for Scotland to gain independence and re-join. Or is that the plan all along? "Won't happen though as Spain already said during the Scottish referendum they would block all attempts by an independent Scotland to join the EU, because of the Catalonia issue in Spain. | |||

"Thank You. Mr Copy&Paste. So, here’s some “completely impartial information” that Brexit Team Bollocks want you to believe. All researched and verified. Not. Maybe they just haven’t realised that we all have brains that we can use. So we can all make up our own minds about whether it’s factually correct, balanced or indeed worth reading. Or whether it’s not. If you do decide to read it you might also want to consider: British Farmers: The National Farmers Union has produced it’s own report that has warned exit could push up food prices and hit farm incomes. Maybe ‘The Commentator’ didn’t have time to read it. E-Cigarettes: Europe has, quite rightly in my opinion, brought in new rules to ensure that e-cigarettes are manufactured safely and are not marketed or sold to children (Bubble gum flavoured e-cigs anyone? Yes they do exist!). Nicotine - as smokers know, is one of the most addictive chemicals. Whilst everyone is supportive of e-cigarettes being a replacement for tobacco, few sentient humans want them to become a new addiction delivery system. So, IF they contain nicotine, they will be priced in line with tobacco products…just as any sensible parent would want them to be. Young Britons Hold the Key to Remaining in the EU: “With a huge 31% of 18-24 year olds admitting they could decide to vote to Leave the EU, and with a further 10% totally undecided, young people could play a big part in the EU referendum” Let me just get my calculator out…….so that means a paltry 59% of 18-24 year olds want to Remain in the EU. Yes, young people could play a big part in the EU referendum Trade figures prove Britain’s future lies very much in the EU: Britain’s trade figures released by the ONS last week have provided again that just under 50% of our exports go to the EU - which is not surprising as the EU makes up the world’s largest single market. About 10% of the EU’s exports come to the UK, just to outline relative importance of the EU to the UK economy. And that’s of course before the single market in services is implemented across the EU - one of the commitments David cameron gained during his negotiations. Best Bet for Boris is Brexit The man who said: “It is also true that the single market is of considerable value to many UK companies and consumers, and that leaving would cause at least some business uncertainty, while embroiling the Government for several years in a fiddly process of negotiating new arrangements, so diverting energy from the real problems of this country – low skills, low social mobility, low investment etc – that have nothing to do with Europe.” Leading the Leave campaign is Boris’ best chance of succeeding David Cameron. Is there nothing he wouldn’t do for political ambition? Brexit won’t harm or downgrade Britain abroad Says the right-wing commentator who created and writes for ‘The Commentator’. On the other side of the debate, saying Brexit WILL harm the UK abroad is…well every world leader who has expressed an opinion with one exception! (That’s Putin, BTW) Brexit won’t Sour UK – US Relations Well, who do you trust? The Commentator or Barack Obama. Such a tough call…. EU’s Response to Terrorism is a Massive Privacy Power Grab The EU’s response to the latest terror threats is not only a mere gesture, but an invasion of your liberties…..remembering that the UK government is at the front of the charge, so a Brexit isn’t going to make the slightest bit of difference. On the EU, the CBI speaks for itself, not British interests Good catch! Unlike ‘The Commentator’ or ‘Breibart’ - those well respected impartial international news agencies of course. But you are right, the CBI represents 190,000 businesses of all sizes and sectors. Together they employ nearly 7 million people, about one third of the private sector-employed workforce. How many business leaders support Brexit? Was it 2000 or 5000…wait, no I looked it up. It was 250. You’ll be bored by now, but I could go and on and on and on….. everyone has there own views and reasons . care to share them? . I tried to think of some reasons to stay but in all honesty there are none . Reasons to leave / vote out well here are a few; Reasons to stay in EU Non worth mentioning Reasons to leave the EU; voting out British farmers will fare best from Brexit British farmers are being ripped off by the EU. Project Fear is trying to scare farmers, and everyone else, into thinking it will all go to pot if we Brexit. It won’t. A brighter, more prosperous future awaits, which is why we must get Britain out. 8 April – The Commentator The EU Bows Down to Turkey’s Dictatorial Demands The horrendous attacks in Brussels last week understandably dominated the news. The slaughter of innocent civilians in yet another of Europe’s capitals has left many questioning how exactly our membership of the EU makes us safer. 30 March – Breitbart London A Fair Immigration System Outside the EU Whatever the UK’s immigration policy, it should be decided by our own representatives in Westminster. 25 March – The Commentator Brussels Turns on E-Cigarette Smokers You may have been amazed to hear plans of a tax hike from Brussels which will send the price of e-cigarettes sky-high. 5 March – UKIP Daily Tobacco Lobbyists Puff-Up eCigarette Prices Whilst reading the paper on yesterday morning’s commute into work, you may have been amazed to read plans of a tax hike from Brussels which will send the price of e-cigarettes sky-high. 3 March – Huffington Post Young Britons Hold the Key to Brexit Door With a huge 31% of 18-24 year olds admitting they could decide to vote to Leave the EU, and with a further 10% totally undecided, young people could play a big part in the EU referendum. 20 February – Breitbart London Trade figures prove Britain’s future lies outside the EU Britain’s trade figures released by the ONS last week have provided further evidence of how the nation’s trading future lies outside the EU. 15 February – The Commentator The EU’s Open Border Experiment is Collapsing With only one month of 2016 gone it seems the collapse of the Schengen Zone is imminent. Border controls across Europe are being reinstated as nations finally realise they need to think independently. They are realising this is the only way they can truly protect their citizens. 12 February – Brexit magazine (Issue 10) Best Bet for Boris is Brexit Leading the Leave campaign is Boris’ best chance of succeeding David Cameron. 5 February – Breitbart London Greece is the sacrificial lamb of the EU once again Now that Angela Merkel and the European Commission have created the mother of all crises over refugees, they’re out to punish Greece, making the country the sacrifical lamb for their own incompetence. Let’s get Britain out of this mess as soon as possible. 5 February – The Commentator The EU Needs Britain? TOUGH! As we approach the European Council summit on February 18th and 19th, the renegotiation rhetoric we are used to hearing from the Prime Minister is intensifying. 2 February – Huffington Post No, Brexit won’t harm or downgrade Britain abroad Third rate analysts in tandem with Europhile scaremongerers say Britain will lose influence in the world after Brexit. The exact oppositie is true: a globaly-oriented Britain will be free from the narrow and insular regionalism of Brussels. The Commentator It’s Time to Rewrite Britain’s History When the time comes, the Great British Public should take note of the Prime Minister’s own words in 2014 – and vote to allow Britain to create its own history 22 January – Huffington Post The EU Sets us Further Apart, Not Closer The EU is the cause of rising tensions across the continent, not the solution. 14 January – Huffington Post Denmark and Sweden Add to the Downfall of the Schengen Agreement It’s the beginning of the New Year, and just days into January the Schengen Zone is under even more strain. 11 January – Breitbart London Con-man Dave set to influence EU referendum With the opinion polls finely balanced on the question of whether Britain should quit the European Union it looks as though David Cameron has concluded he only has one option: cheat. 24 December – The Commentator Why the Left Should Leave the EU Too Euroscepticism is often seen as right-wing and populist. This is far from the case. 23 December – Huffington Post EU’s Response to Terrorism is a Massive Privacy Power Grab The EU’s response to the latest terror threats is not only a mere gesture, but an invasion of your liberties. 18 December – Breitbart London The EU – Doomed From the Start When a state is an invented entity with no strong internal ties – when people are forced together under one banner – then that state is doomed to fail from the start. 17 December – Huffington Post Brexit won’t Sour UK – US Relations Contrary to claims from the pro EU lobby in both sides of the Atlantic, the ‘Special Relationship’ would thrive after Brexit. 16 December – The Commentator Britain Deserves Truth On Immigration The only way for the British government to satisfy the public’s needs when it comes to immigration is getting net migration down to the tens of thousands as promised, and not the hundreds. 12 December – Breitbart London Time will not prove as kind to Angela Merkel Time Magazine has named Angela Merkel Person of the Year. She’s certainly been Europe’s lead actor. But her European policies, in the long term, may well destroy the EU, and add more thunder to those calling for Britain to leave. The Commentator – 12 December EU Dictatorship Burns Brightly in Time for Christmas The EU’s new candle directive includes – ‘never leave a burning candle unattended.’ What a waste of money! Huffington Post – 8 December NATO can react to a volatile world — not the EU You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. We live in a volatile and dangerous world. NATO is our best bet, and the EU is a liability. The Commentator – 3 December Scotland Could Thrive Outside the EU It’s time for Scotland, as well as the United Kingdom, to leave the European Union and take advantage of the Global Market Huffington Post – 3 December The EU’s New Turkish Deal Brings Insecurity For Europe What a change a few months make. Earlier this year Angela Merkel, the Puppet-Master of Europe, took the unprecedented step of suspending the Dublin II accord by welcoming an unlimited number of Syrians to Germany. Now she has led the EU to make a highly unfavorable deal with Turkey in a misguided attempt to solve the crisis. Breitbart London – 1 December Age of Austerity? EU doesn’t know what it means! The EU can only drive bindfold towards a single destination: the Federal United States of Europe. The latest increase in the EU budget is another reason to get Britain out as soon as possible. The Commentator – 20 November What a Load of EU Sewage Eurosceptics are fond of saying that the EU is flushing our money down the toilet. But in this case from Greece, it is (almost) literally true. The Commentator – 13 November No Light at the End of the Tunnel for the EU’s Youth Just like many countries on the continent, Britain’s youth is finally realising, the only way to truly solve this crisis is to Get Britain Out of the EU. Huffington Post – 12 November The EU’s €1 Million a Day Migrant Relocation Programme Today Greece will send its first group of 30 migrants to Luxembourg – part of an extremely expensive European Union (EU) relocation plan – as the cost of the migrant crisis keeps on increasing. Breitbart London – 4 November This Debate Is About the EU, Not About Europe Let’s set this record straight – we love ‘Europe’. We just hate the EU! Huffington Post – 30 October Elephant Trophies, Puppy Trafficking and Cattle to Warzones… The EU’s so-called ‘Good’ Animal Rights Record It is sometimes said the European Union plays a major role in the protection of animals across the globe. However, this is not a subject that critics of the Union put under the microscope on a regular basis. Huffington Post – 26 October On the EU, the CBI speaks for itself, not British interests Ultimately, the CBI has a clear vested interest in the UK remaining in the EU and is being driven by its own desire to maintain its status as the “the UK’s premier business lobbying organisation”. ConservativeHome, 22 October EU chooses corporatism on E-Cigarettes The appalling hypocrisy coming out of Brussels on e-cigarettes poses a clear and present danger to people’s health. The Commentator, 15 October An Open Letter to Megan Dunn, President of the NUS Get Britain Out researcher writes an open letter to pro-EU President of the National Union of Students Huffington Post, 14 October The EU Referendum Is Being Swept Under The Carpet It is clear the gap between the Conservative grassroots and the front bench is getting larger. Breitbart, 9 October Merkel set to win Nobel prize after disastrous year for Europe Why was Merkel in the running? For bringing social devastation to Europe and exacerbating a refugee crisis that is causing mayhem across the continent? The Commentator, 9 October The EU’s betrayal of Britain’s fishing industry The EU’s fisheries policies have been a disaster for Britain, destroying communities along our coasts. The Commentator, 2 October The EU is no Friend of Britain’s Small Businesses Why does the EU raise barriers to entry for our small businesses struggling to get a foothold? Breitbart London, 30 September Barmy Brussels Latest Call for Gender Equality Our campaign to Get Britain Out has revealed to the Daily Express Brussels politicians want schoolboys to learn about vacuum cleaning and dusting as part of a drive against “sexist” education. Textbooks that reinforce old-fashioned stereotypes about male and female roles would also be banned under a package backed in the European Parliament. Daily Express, 11 September Another nail in the coffin of Cameron’s EU promise The total chaos surrounding the migration crisis is a disaster for everyone involved. And so is the nature of the debate. The reality is that we must get Britain out of the EU if we are going to begin solving the problem. The Commentator, 8 September Germany stirs political turmoil in Greece… again! The appalling attacks on Greek democracy by the German-led EU are a stark illustration of precisely why we need to get Britain out as soon as possible. The Commentator, 4 September Europhile Glee for Obama is Naive US President Barack Obama recently said: “Having the United Kingdom in the European Union gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union.” thereby charging headlong into the minefield of Anglo-European relations. The Great British public must not be fooled by such impulsive comments. Breitbart London, 17 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. Better Off Out, 14 August David Cameron’s Renegotiation is Already Dead Some Eurosceptics are taking the “wait and see” approach, while David Cameron’s renegotiation on the terms of our EU membership goes on, under the illusion he might secure some adequate reforms. Now some ministers are beginning to realise he can’t deliver on his promises. Breitbart London, 14 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. The Commentator, 12 August Lynton Crosby’s poll is a headache for Cameron Lynton Crosby, mastermind of the Tory election victory, recently presented a secret poll to David Cameron on why and how he won. Key findings on the public’s concerns about the EU and immigration will haunt the Prime Minister in his vain efforts for a substantial renegotiation with Brussels. The Commentator, 4 August Has the Troika destroyed Greece? In recent days and weeks, we have seen the financial and political elite of Europe humiliate Greece with the country’s economy collapsing before our eyes. The Commentator, 24 July Declining EU is Overrated as a Trading Power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. It is the past. The Commentator, 23 July Will Britain Face The Same EU Dilemma As Greece? With Greek MPs being given the choice between giving up sovereignty or leaving the eurozone the UK should beware of a similar ultimatum being one day issued to them concerning their membership of the EU. Breitbart London, 23 July Declining EU is overrated as a trading power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. The Commentator, 23 July EU Uses Fear of Terror to Expand its Surveillance Powers Over growing fears of Islamist terror attacks, the EU is exploiting public fear to expand its surveillance capabilities. This conceited effort to override current national co-operation is not the solution. Breitbart London, 22 July Brussels Belittles Women with PC-Crusade Against the “Glass Ceiling” The EU has proposed imposing bizarre new measures to encourage more women to stay in science and technical careers, citing a “glass ceiling” holding back their advancement. It will surprise absolutely no one the measures reek of misguided political correctness. Breitbart London, 14 July EU tyranny finally crushes the birthplace of democracy The big lesson the EU has “learned” from the Greek crisis is that the democratic will of the people must be suppressed even further. As Brussels crushes democracy in its birthplace, the seeds of a neo-authoritarian superstate have been definitively sown. The Commentator, 14 July UK’s success means EU contributions rise by over £3 billion It is clear the EU has very little interest in David Cameron’s renegotiation process, as they are far more concerned with saving the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Brussels keeps punishing Britain for its economic success, demanding soaring contributions. The Commentator, 10 July Greece’s brave choice – “OXI” to the tyrannical EU We in Britain will soon be facing our In/Out referendum. Let the Greeks inspire us to fight to get Britain out of the tyrannical EU. The Commentator, 7 July Business Secretary Slaps Down Europhile Business Group Business Secretary Sajid Javid has fired a shot across the bows of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) regarding its recent claim Britain should remain in the European Union “no matter what”. Breitbart London, 3 July Vicious EU will let Athens burn for failed Euro dystopia As the EU’s neo-authoritarian clown in chief Jean-Claude Juncker intimidates Greece for the cheek of consulting the people, it’s now clear Brussels will burn Athens to the ground rather than admit their disastrous mistake of creating the dystopian Eurozone. The Commentator, 3 July EU wants control over our holiday snaps, amazingly enough Astounding as it may sound, the EU is considering proposals which could ban people from taking photos of iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, without copyright permission. The real motivation is an oppressive attack on social media. The Commentator, 1 July Distant Strasbourg Lawyers Do Not Guarantee Britain’s Rights During the celebrations of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we would do well to remember Britain’s civil and tolerant nature derives from our own traditions and not those handed down to us by the Eurocrats. Breitbart London, 21 June EU Commissioners Exploit Defence to Push Federalism Following EU President Jean-Claude Juncker’s call for an EU army, the European Parliament voted to implement the Common Security and Defence Policy last week. Breitbart London, 12 June No Signs of EU Reform Yet as Brussels Remains Belligerent As David Cameron continues his tour of European capitals, the EU cannot help but send out terrible signals to the British electorate. Breitbart London, 2 June Pro-EU SNP and Plaid aim to destroy Britain but lose independence The pro-EU SNP and Plaid Cymru want to break up Britain and cause havoc with Labour on the way. But don’t for a second think they want real self-determination. If they did, they wouldn’t be planning to turn Scotland and Wales into client states of Brussels. It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU. In light of this, it is unsurprising Brussels is now pushing for an integrated “European culture” programme to convince the Great British Public of our shared European culture. Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership. But aside from this, what are the EU policies of the other parties? Breitbart, 18 April Juncker drops EU renegotiation bombshell on Cameron It is official: David Cameron’s renegotiations are over before they have even begun. Yesterday unelected European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker announced there will be no changes to EU Treaties whilst he is in office. The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item. In any event, the famous tampon tax can’t be abolished unless we quit the EU, which we should do as soon as possible. The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries. Breitbart London, 9 April EU to Switch Off British Film Industry The fanatics in the European Commission now have their sights set on the UK television, film and music industries. The Commentator, 8 April Rampant Sexism in EU Institutions A gender equality investigation of key EU institutions by Get Britain Out has discovered that the bureaucrats of the EU are failing to practice what they preach. Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another. The Conservative Woman, 12 March An EU Army: a tragedy for our armed forces It becomes ever clearer why our armed forces are being cut to the bone. If we are heading to a federal Europe, we are going to get a European defence force, however useless it may be. The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape. By introducing a tax on British cider producers, Brussels is not only attacking the manufacturers, but the majority of British adults who enjoy cider, as well as scrumpy. Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU. What principle of justice prioritises Europeans over Indians and Canadians? None. It’s just bigotry. The Commentator, 5 March Putin is a nightmare, but the EU is making matters worse The brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov reminds us of just how different British and Russian political values are. This, however, does not mean we should allow the EU to stir up geopolitical and other problems we just don’t need. Britain would be far better making its own Russia policy, not being a slave to Brussels. The Commentator, 3 March The Church of England and the Archbishop of Brussels The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Left-wing bishops who run the Church of England, have published a 52-page pastoral letter stacked with leftist clichés, which calls for Britain to remain in the EU. Breitbart London, 25 February British government stifles EU debate The reasons the government is giving for blanking out debate on the EU in the run-up to the general election are frankly absurd. Why are they running away from this huge issue? The Commentator, 22 February The European Union Needs Us More than We Need Them This week EU Trade Commissioner Cecila Malmstroem warned Britain’s exit from the European Union would be a “disaster” both for Britain and the rest of the EU. Breitbart London, 21 February An Ideal EU? Not Likely The reforms outlined by Business for Britain cannot safeguard Britain’s independence. The root of the problem is the EU’s central institutions. It is an old fashioned, out of date model, unfit for the 21st Century.

Conservative Home, 28 January 2015 EU VAT Rules: A Serious Threat to Small Business Changes to VAT rules will prove catastrophic to small businesses, to the burgeoning market for digital goods, and especially to women. UKIP Daily, 23 January 2015 Latest EU madness threatens our NHS Last week the Commons discussed the proposed EU-US free trade agreement. One of the most important aspects discussed was how the Treaty would impact the NHS. Brussels whacks Britain yet again. Let’s Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 19 January 2015 EU in the latest disastrous move to destroy small businesses Yet again, the European Union has blundered into legislation which will make life for small business a nightmare.This time it’s the turn of online business to be clobbered, and then strangled in growth and innovation destroying red tape. The Commentator, 15 January 2015 Cameron Bars Eurosceptic Ministers From Referendum David Cameron’s move to block ministers in a future Conservative government from campaigning to quit the EU is a sign of weakness. The Commentator, 5 January 2015 British Public Declare: “We Are not Europeans” Asked how European they saw themselves, 58 percent of Brits replied they saw themselves just as British and not as European. Breitbart, 24 December 2014 Santa won’t visit the EU, but a Eurosceptic Pope did The Pope, in his wisdom, gave the EU a stern warning — it has lost its way. The Commentator, 24 December 2014 Letting Turkey into the EU would be a disaster David Cameron has announced it is still his ‘long-standing goal’ to bring Turkey into the European Union – despite the complete disaster this would be for Britain. Breitbart, 12 December 2014 More Outrageous EU Demands Whenever Eurocrats realise their ambitious spending commitments cannot be fulfilled, they casually raid Britain’s coffers while our political classes do little more than fake outrage and horror. It will only stop of we Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 12 December 2014 EU migrants make up just four percent of the NHS workforce Recent research by Get Britain Out reveals the claim the NHS relies on EU migrant labour is just another attempt to peddle the myth Britain needs the European Union. Breitbart, 6 December 2014 Britain is strong enough to thrive outside the EU No-one thinks Britain is out of it yer, but as the UK creams the Eurozone in economic performance, we are reminded that the scaremongers in Brussels have nothing to give, and we must Get Britain Out of the EU, pronto! The Commentator, 5 December 2014 Fishy EU goes fishing at Britain’s expense To stop the fishing industry around our shores from perishing and to secure our fishing waters from exploitation, it is essential we must Get Britain Out of the EU. The Commentator, 3 December 2014 Cameron’s EU Immigration reforms will achieve nothing Cameron has finally proposed how he intends to try and reform EU immigration – but he has merely shown yet again he is completely out of touch with the needs of the Great British Public. Breitbart, 29 November 2014 Cameron’s EU speech: Wishful thinking and deception Cameron, as we saw in Friday’s speech, exemplifies much of what is wrong with British politics: the utter lack of conviction. Knee-jerk reactions and smoke-and-mirrors fool no one. Rather than persisting in the fantasy of a reformed EU, we must Get Britain Out, The Commentator, 29 November 2014 The EU: Watering a Dead Tree Europe’s economy is still on its knees, but the EU’s political classes have learned nothing from their self-inflicted folly. If your house has been burned down, the last thing to do is to mistake the arsonists for the firemen. The most pragmatic move is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 28 November 2014 The EU CAP damages developing economies – and ours We are still paying £11.3 billion a year to be part of a club which cuts the disposable income of the neediest in our society.

The Commentator, 18 November 2014 Time to hold the EU to account For the 19th year in a row, auditors have failed to sign off the EU’s accounts. What on earth is Britain doing staying part of this farce? The Commentator, 7 November 2014 As Commonwealth exports soar, economic case for leaving European Union grows The day our trade with the Anglosphere and Commonwealth eclipses our trade with Brussels is coming ever closer. Breitbart, 1 November 2014 Ditch anti-democratic Lib Dems for EU referendum Calling Nick Clegg and his band of wet europhiles Liberal Democrats is like calling the British National Party the Racial Harmony Party. The Commentator, 1 November 2014 Another EU rip-off While the EU is trying to rip Britain off, yet again, thousands of Eurocrats earn more than most heads of government. There is vast waste on much more besides. Britain has simply got to leave. The Commentator, 30 October 2014 Its official: There is no hope for EU reform It might have gone unnoticed by most but the handover of power in Brussels is complete: we officially have a new government ruling the federal state of which we are effectively a part. Breitbart, 23 October 2014 Caps on EU migrants are illegal. Got that Dave? The Great British Public should not fall for Cameron’s parlour trick. Any current plans to cap EU migrants will be illegal under EU law and are not deliverable until after successfully severing our ties to Brussels by getting out of the EU. The Commentator, 21 October 2014 Enforced at last: Britain’s EU referendum bill Finally, we are one step closer to a guaranteed EU referendum in 2017 beung enshrined in law. Breitbart, 18 October 2014 UKIP could support Tory minority for July 2015 EU referendum As the UKIP bandwagon rolls on, the prospect of UKIP holding the balance of power in the 2015 general election is becoming less and less impossible. Breitbart, 17 October 2014 Cameron’s EU budget cuts are a mirage Yet again, David Cameron’s half-baked promises on Europe amount to nonsense. Theres only one way for Britain, and thats out of the EU. The Commentator, 5 October 2014 After Scotland, no excuses against an EU referendum Everyone has praised the democratic marvel of Scotland’s referendum. Labour, Lib Dems and dithering Tories now have no excuse whatsoever for opposing a referendum on whether Britain stays in or quits the EU. The Commentator, 19 September 2014 Europe’s youth are being conned At Get Britain Out, we have long argued that the European Union is completely out of touch. In Brussels today (17 Sep), whilst discussing the EU’s flagship “Youth Unemployment Initiative”, the Eurocrats did nothing to change our mind. UKIP Daily, 18 September 2014 As independence looms large, the Centre cannot hold National independence movements are on the rise across Europe. From Scotland to Spain – as the European Union’s stranglehold hardens, demands for sovereignty are becoming even more vocal. Breitbart, 17 September 2014 European Parliamentarians’ fingers in the till Members of the European Parliament already get expense accounts and salaries off the scale, but now they’re just taking the … well you know what. The Commentator, 16 September 2014 The fight against EU immigration is a fight for our national character We don’t need lectures from Commissioner Andor on how Britain should be run, even if he feels entitled to share his opinion. Conservative Woman, 16 September 2014 EU membership is a threat to our national security Hard as it is for the Eurocrats of Brussels to accept, it is NATO, not the EU, which has kept peace in Europe for the last 70 years. Conservative Home, 11 September 2014 The EU’s Cynical Ruse With the EU’s latest sly ruse, David Cameron, along with the rest of the political establishment, has been outfoxed by an age-old game of expectation management. The Commentator, 11 September 2014 Shame of fake EU Climate Change “aid” to Third World It is quite staggering that the EU is “helping” poverty stricken countries in Africa by pumping taxpayers’ money into, wait for it, “green energy”. The figures have to be seen to be believed. The Commentator, 9 September 2014 Energy prices continue to rise thanks to the Luddite EU The greatest harm inflicted by the EU’s energy policies is more than mere stifling of consumer choice, but in making energy more expensive, increasing household energy bills and devastating industry. Breitbart, 6 September 2014 ‘Lord Who’ Given Minor EU Portfolio: Slap Down For Cameron Today, a leaked EU document crushed David Cameron’s hopes for an important economic portfolio for his EU Commission nominee, Lord Hill. Breitbart, 4 September 2014 British influence in Brussels. What British influence? As a new study shows, the vast majority of British objections to Brussels policies are completely ignored. Europhiles who say we have to stay in the EU to protect our “influence” are, as usual, totally deluded. The Commentator, 3 September 2014 EU remains ‘Hungary’ for British money In the last month, Britain has contributed over 10 billion pounds to help fight unemployment in four other EU states. Breitbart, 2 September 2014 Immigration reform is impossible in the EU There is no way around this one, and the latest figures confirm the point: We can’t be members of the EU and control our immigration. The Commentator, 31 August 2014 Leaving the EU is the only way to cut immigration It has become a familiar routine to hear Cameron plead he can reduce net migration, and for the Office of National Statistics to publish figures which reveal the futility of his efforts. Breitbart, 31 August 2014 Juncker’s tokenism over female appointments is another reason for our quitting the EU The Treaty on European Union states one of the EU’s most important purposes is to “combat discrimination”, so why is Juncker threatening to block male EU Commissioners from the top jobs? The Conservative Woman, 27 August 2014 Retired Eurocrats get their snouts in the trough As British pensioners feel the pinch, there’s no austerity in Brussels. The European Commission has been caught shamefully splashing out billions more to line the pockets of retired EU cronies. The Commentator, 24 August 2014 Britain’s Influence in Brussels Waning Britain’s clout in the EU continues to wane, making Cameron’s renegotiation, previously an unrealistic ambition, utterly impossible. Breitbart, 19 August 2014 Killing the EU “3 Million Jobs” whopper for good A schoolboy economics student, though maybe not a Lib Dem cabinet minister, could tell you the idea we’d lose 3 million jobs if we quit the EU is rubbish. The Commentator, 18 August 2014 How the European Union is a threat to vital, scientific research In a joint letter, twenty-eight of Europe’s leading academics have warned that European Union data protection laws risk harming vital research, especially social and health-related studies. Breitbart, 17 August 2014 The EU wants to destroy the City As well as pure envy at our extraordinary success, EU attacks on the City are inspired by long-standing hostility to the “Anglo-American” model. In contrast to EU statism, that model has the shocking temerity to actually work. The Commentator, 16 August 2014 UK and the EU? Facts, unity, courage will get us out Tim Hedges calls for a united campaign for withdrawal from the EU between thinktanks including the “formidable pressure group” Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 13 August 2014 The Ghost of Lisbon The remaining provisions of that disgrace to democracy known as the EU’s Lisbon Treaty are due to come into force on 1st of November, crippling what little is left of our sovereignty. The Commentator, 11 August 2014 EU chief scientific adviser says her work should be kept secret EU technocrats hate democracy and love secrecy. Now EU chief scientific adviser says the public should not know what advice she gives. Breitbart, 9 August 2014 Boris or not, the Tories will never sell us Euroscepticism again Not for the first time, London Mayor Boris Johnson has waded into the debate over Europe, saying London is better off leaving an ‘unreformed’ European Union (EU) and that there’s no need to fear an EU exit. Breitbart, 6 August 2014 Last orders for arch European federalist Renaming a favourite Eurocrat bar after a relic of 20th century socialism and a proponent of unlimited federalism offers a piquant reminder of why Britain needs to get out of the EU as soon as possible.

In a decade the Commonwealth will be a bigger economic power than the EU – but we can have free trade relations with both. The Commentator, 25 July 2014 UK Government confirms huge abuse of EU free movement rules The report exposes how criminals are using this EU law to “import human trafficking victims, illegal immigrants as well as illicit commodities, including rugs and counterfeit goods”. Breitbart, 24 July 2014 Keep your eye on the ball. The real story is Europe The actual vote by the European Parliament, confirming the election of Juncker as President, was barely mentioned. Such is the anti-democratic nature of the EU. The Commentator, 21 July 2014 The EU’s ‘Free’ Trade Treaty Will Enslave Britain With the latest round of negotiations for the new EU-US trade treaty starting on Monday, left-wing activists are finally waking up to the threat the EU poses to the rights of the British working class.

Little did we know that this is not just a figure of speech The Commentator 4 July 2014 Britain’s Natural Home is the Commonwealth, not the EU A deep divide is growing between Britain and the EU as the latter piles on regulations in the name of the Single Market.

The Parliament Magazine, 21 May 2014 " The CBI you quote there who on 3 major political decisions they've got involved in they got it wrong. The CBI were wrong on the Gold standard, then they were wrong on the ERM and then they got it wrong when they told us we must join the Euro. 3 times in the past they were wrong on political decisions, and i would say they are wrong now on our membership of the EU. The CBI should just stick to business and stay out of politics as Caroline Fairbairn who is director general of the CBI got found out when she appeared on the daily politics programme making the case to stay in the EU versus UKIP MEP Steven Woolfe making the case to leave the EU. Plus it turns out the CBI gets hundreds of thousands of pounds from the EU so of course their view is going to be biased and they have a conflict of interest.

"The EU is an unmitigated disaster lurching from one crises to another,unwilling to listen to the voters its alledged to represent,unable to reform .. Will Greece need another bailout? Will Turkey ( and then Bosnia) be a gift to the terrorists? Will the Euro collapse? Will the Euro states ever give their 2% pledge to NATO( only the UK,Poland,and little Estonia for gods sake, do currently) Heaven forbid they ruin NATO by undermining it with some crazy euro army idea( now on the agenda) Let scotland join the Euro states if they need the hand outs that badly ( The SNP would have totally fucked their economy by now/see the ACTUAL price of crude against there previously wild and inacurate estimations ) Im yet undecided but i just look at the Euro`s ruining of Ireland and think `there has to be something better than this bunch of unelected moron`s` "
Agree with what you said, i also think what the EU did to and continues to do to Greece is an example of the contempt the EU holds for democracy in nation states. | |||

"IMMIGRATION Britain has given away control of immigration within the EU to the EU, and retains the power only to control non-EU immigration. This has led to huge disparities where Commonwealth citizens with family in Britain struggle to obtain visas whilst EU citizens with little link with the UK can automatically work here. It has also contributed to the largest ever inflows into the UK in our history, with the UK population rising by 4 million from 1997, which is only slightly less than the entire population of (Southern) Ireland moving to the UK in that timescale, and that figure is the net figure, which does not take into account the economic, social and cultural impacts of a mass outflow of British citizens to settle abroad. The British population used to be stable of about 58 million, and it is uncontrolled immigration that has driven the population up rapidly to the current 62 million (ONS figures)." The relevant facts, from The Guardian, 20th March 2016. Question: Approximately what percentage of the UK population do you believe were born in other EU countries? Answers: Less than 10% 16%; 11-20% 23%; 21-30% 19%; 31-40% 19%; 41-50% 11%; 51-60% 6%; 61-70% 2%; 71-80% 2%; 81-90% 1%; 91-100% 0% Average estimate 28%. One in ten of the population believe that more than 50% of the U.K. population were born in non-UK EU countries. Question: Approximately how many UK nationals do you think live in other EU countries? For reference, the total population of the UK is 64.1 million while the total population of all EU countries (including UK) is 503 million. Answers: Fewer than 100,000 6%; 100,001-250,000 9%; 250,001-500,000 14%; 500,001-1 million 19%; 1-1.5 million 17%; 1.5-2 million 9%; 2-2.5 million 9%; 2.5-3 million 5%; 3-3.5 million 3%; 3.5-4 million 2%; 4-4.5 million 1%; 4.5-5 million 2%; More than 5 million 4% Average estimate 1.48 million On average, Britons estimate that 28% of the UK population were born in other EU countries. If true, that would equate to 18 million people. Estimates of the EU immigrant population peak in the West Midlands, where the average estimate is 34%. Ukip and Leave supporters both estimate 32% while the estimate of Remain supporters is not much lower (25%). The reality? Office for National Statistics figures for year ending December 2014 show that 8.3 million UK residents, 13% of the total population, were born abroad. However, only 3 million of those were born in an EU country so the real figure is less than 5%. Only around 36% of UK migrants are from EU countries. Asked to estimate how many UK nationals live in other EU countries, the average answer was 1.48 million. According to figures used in a government response to a parliamentary question by Matthew Oakeshott in 2014, the real figure is 2.2 million. There are just over 1 million Britons living in Spain, 330,000 in France, 329,000 in Ireland, 107,000 in Germany, 65,000 in Cyprus, 48,000 in the Netherlands, 45,000 in Greece, 39,000 in Portugal and 37,000 in Italy. So, in the twenty years since the Maastricht Treaty net migration to the UK from the EU is less than 1 million people " Leaving the EU will empower Britain to adopt the more balanced and more tightly controlled immigration policy, similar to the Australian visa-based system. This visa system could set down the number of visas available according to UK needs and the ability of public services, housing and infrastructure on a very crowded island to cope. " As noted above, 64% of UK immigration is already com non-EU countries. If you have issues with the actual number of immigrants in the UK, it simply ignores the facts to blame this on our membership of the EU. "It is likely that certain EU nation states will enjoy visa waiver schemes (in reality there is less need for visas with nations with comparative economic profiles such as France, Germany and Holland, the biggest inflows have been from former Communist states)." If the UK left the EU, it's likely that we would be forced to maintain free movement of people IF we want continued access to the largest market in the world, just like Norway and Switzerland had to accept. So, visa waivers is a bit of red herring. " In the EU, all the EU citizens have the right to move to the UK regardless of skill needs. This has resulted in the equivalent of a new city the size of York arriving every year. " Just lies. Sorry - go look at the facts. The population of York is around 198,000 and average annually net EU migration is far less. " With easier travel for North African countries and the prospect of Turkey’s 79 million citizens being given the right to work in the EU, the scale of uncontrolled immigration is likely to worsen considerably unless the UK withdraws rapidly. " You are making this up deliberately, or are very confused. It's hard to tell which from your post. As I tell my 10 year old daughter, every day should be a school day - you should try to learn something every day. Here's your chance. The EU deal with Turkey will allow for visa-free travel. This DOES NOT give the right to work in the EU. " Better controls over criminal elements coming into the UK, difficult under the EU’s open door approach, can be enhanced too "As we have debated before the UK already controls it's own border. Everyone who comes into the UK is stopped at the border and has their passport and identity checked. Many visitors to the UK come in under a UK visa waiver programme and so we wouldn't know if they were criminals or not. At least with EU residents the UK shares information with out her EU states; UK can and does stop entry for EU citizens if the authorities have due cause. Just out of interest, how many more times wil we have to correct your rubbish before the referendum? My sweepstakes is at least 5 more times that you will ignore the facts and trot out you propaganda. Let's see. | |||

"everyone has there own views and reasons . care to share them? . I tried to think of some reasons to stay but in all honesty there are none " Everything you said after this was a pointless waste of your cut and paste efforts. And here's why. Your a bright chap. There are many good reasons to stay and many good reasons to leave so to suggest that someone capable of inteligent thought can not even imagine one reason for staying is simply ridiculous and so proves that you are entirely prepared to misrepresent your own understanding for the sake of expressing your biased opinion. Shame really as it makes any discussion with you utterly pointless. | |||

"Newsnight: 1-0 to the Brexit "
Easy win for Brexit on the sovereignty Newsnight special. When remain in side put forward the odious "prince of darkness" Peter Mandelson to make their case they've already lost. Hope he enjoys his rather generous EU pension when he retires too, not that he needs it after doing dodgy deals on millionaires yachts. | |||

" The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders..... Europe is fundamental to the current and future success of the UK automotive industry... This recent success of the automotive sector has been significant in the UK’s recovery with thousands of jobs created. Automotive accounts for 10% of the UK’s trade in goods, suppliers add £4.8 billion in added value and the sector as a whole turned over £60.5 billion last year. • Access to the EU market is reflected in the fact that 49% of UK-produced vehicles are sold across the largest Single Market in the world, unhindered by any tariffs or costly regulatory barriers. • Innovation in UK automotive is boosted by significant EU R&D funding. In total approximately £3.5 billion has been awarded to UK businesses and universities across all sectors to encourage growth. • Free movement of labour within European borders gives automotive businesses the ability to blend UK and international talent at all levels of the industry. • The UK’s thriving new car market and the country’s position within the EU help make it an attractive place to invest and since 2013 more than £8 billion worth of funding has been allocated to automotive operations here. • British automotive manufacturing employs 160,000 people and produces 1.5 million cars each year. Around 80% of UK vehicles are exported to more than 100 countries, with more than 50% shipped to the EU – our biggest single trading region. • In 2014, 72.4% of the 2.47 million new cars registered in the UK were imported from Europe, • The collective bargaining strength of the EU helps reduce trade barriers with key global markets such as China, which are critical for the UK’s diverse automotive manufacturing base. • A UK government commissioned report states that UK vehicle output could increase by up to 7.3% under TTIP. Could? Or would? There's a big difference... others may say that negotiating our own deals could increase UK vehicle output by 10%, or 15%, or anything. • Businesses outside of the EU still have to abide by its regulations if they are to sell products into the European single market. As businesses from within the EU have to abide by others regulations when exporting there. • As a member of the EU, the UK has a strong voice in shaping legislation and policies that drive innovation and competitiveness in UK automotive. An example is EU CO2 regulation which has led to a 16.9% reduction in UK new car CO2 emissions since its introduction in 2009, while supporting our domestic strength in small volume manufacturing. How well did that one work for VW again? • Access to a mobile UK and EU workforce allows manufacturers to research, design, engineer and produce vehicles from the ground up here in the UK. We would still have access to the mobile UK workforce, and EU citizens would still be able to work here, but on a skills basis requiring visas... thus increasing the level of skilled workers employed... • The UK automotive industry faces a projected skills shortage and is investing millions of pounds in domestic engineering expertise. To supplement this home-grown talent, the industry is able to freely access experts and specialists from across the EU, increasing its international competitiveness. The industry has bought this state of affairs upon itself over many years of non-investment in training skills, preferring to buy in labour instead. The same as the NHS has done, for example. " So of the 1.5 Million cars we make, about 750,000 of them go to the EU. Meanwhile we import 1.8 Million cars a year from the EU. And if we leave the EU, losing that trading relationship may mean we won't be able to import or export cars from/to the EU? Wouldn't that mean that our motor industry would then have a ready made market of 1.8 Million car sales within the UK, whilst losing 750,000 car sales to the EU... i.e. have to increase car production in the UK by over 60%? Kind of knocks the 7% increase through TTIP into a cooked hat. In jobs terms, that means about an additional 100,000 jobs being created! | |||

Reasons to leave / vote out well here are a few; Reasons to stay in EU Non worth mentioning Reasons to leave the EU; voting out British farmers will fare best from Brexit British farmers are being ripped off by the EU. Project Fear is trying to scare farmers, and everyone else, into thinking it will all go to pot if we Brexit. It won’t. A brighter, more prosperous future awaits, which is why we must get Britain out. 8 April – The Commentator The EU Bows Down to Turkey’s Dictatorial Demands The horrendous attacks in Brussels last week understandably dominated the news.

Border controls across Europe are being reinstated as nations finally realise they need to think independently. They are realising this is the only way they can truly protect their citizens. 12 February – Brexit magazine (Issue 10) Best Bet for Boris is Brexit Leading the Leave campaign is Boris’ best chance of succeeding David Cameron. 5 February – Breitbart London Greece is the sacrificial lamb of the EU once again Now that Angela Merkel and the European Commission have created the mother of all crises over refugees, they’re out to punish Greece, making the country the sacrifical lamb for their own incompetence. Let’s get Britain out of this mess as soon as possible. 5 February – The Commentator The EU Needs Britain? TOUGH! As we approach the European Council summit on February 18th and 19th, the renegotiation rhetoric we are used to hearing from the Prime Minister is intensifying. 2 February – Huffington Post No, Brexit won’t harm or downgrade Britain abroad Third rate analysts in tandem with Europhile scaremongerers say Britain will lose influence in the world after Brexit. The exact oppositie is true: a globaly-oriented Britain will be free from the narrow and insular regionalism of Brussels. The Commentator It’s Time to Rewrite Britain’s History When the time comes, the Great British Public should take note of the Prime Minister’s own words in 2014 – and vote to allow Britain to create its own history 22 January – Huffington Post The EU Sets us Further Apart, Not Closer The EU is the cause of rising tensions across the continent, not the solution. 14 January – Huffington Post Denmark and Sweden Add to the Downfall of the Schengen Agreement It’s the beginning of the New Year, and just days into January the Schengen Zone is under even more strain. 11 January – Breitbart London Con-man Dave set to influence EU referendum With the opinion polls finely balanced on the question of whether Britain should quit the European Union it looks as though David Cameron has concluded he only has one option: cheat. 24 December – The Commentator Why the Left Should Leave the EU Too Euroscepticism is often seen as right-wing and populist.

She’s certainly been Europe’s lead actor. But her European policies, in the long term, may well destroy the EU, and add more thunder to those calling for Britain to leave. The Commentator – 12 December EU Dictatorship Burns Brightly in Time for Christmas The EU’s new candle directive includes – ‘never leave a burning candle unattended.’ What a waste of money! Huffington Post – 8 December NATO can react to a volatile world — not the EU You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. We live in a volatile and dangerous world. NATO is our best bet, and the EU is a liability. The Commentator – 3 December Scotland Could Thrive Outside the EU It’s time for Scotland, as well as the United Kingdom, to leave the European Union and take advantage of the Global Market Huffington Post – 3 December The EU’s New Turkish Deal Brings Insecurity For Europe What a change a few months make. Earlier this year Angela Merkel, the Puppet-Master of Europe, took the unprecedented step of suspending the Dublin II accord by welcoming an unlimited number of Syrians to Germany. Now she has led the EU to make a highly unfavorable deal with Turkey in a misguided attempt to solve the crisis. Breitbart London – 1 December Age of Austerity? EU doesn’t know what it means! The EU can only drive bindfold towards a single destination: the Federal United States of Europe. The latest increase in the EU budget is another reason to get Britain out as soon as possible. The Commentator – 20 November What a Load of EU Sewage Eurosceptics are fond of saying that the EU is flushing our money down the toilet. But in this case from Greece, it is (almost) literally true. The Commentator – 13 November No Light at the End of the Tunnel for the EU’s Youth Just like many countries on the continent, Britain’s youth is finally realising, the only way to truly solve this crisis is to Get Britain Out of the EU. Huffington Post – 12 November The EU’s €1 Million a Day Migrant Relocation Programme Today Greece will send its first group of 30 migrants to Luxembourg – part of an extremely expensive European Union (EU) relocation plan – as the cost of the migrant crisis keeps on increasing. Breitbart London – 4 November This Debate Is About the EU, Not About Europe Let’s set this record straight – we love ‘Europe’. We just hate the EU! Huffington Post – 30 October Elephant Trophies, Puppy Trafficking and Cattle to Warzones… The EU’s so-called ‘Good’ Animal Rights Record It is sometimes said the European Union plays a major role in the protection of animals across the globe. However, this is not a subject that critics of the Union put under the microscope on a regular basis. Huffington Post – 26 October On the EU, the CBI speaks for itself, not British interests Ultimately, the CBI has a clear vested interest in the UK remaining in the EU and is being driven by its own desire to maintain its status as the “the UK’s premier business lobbying organisation”. ConservativeHome, 22 October EU chooses corporatism on E-Cigarettes The appalling hypocrisy coming out of Brussels on e-cigarettes poses a clear and present danger to people’s health. The Commentator, 15 October An Open Letter to Megan Dunn, President of the NUS Get Britain Out researcher writes an open letter to pro-EU President of the National Union of Students Huffington Post, 14 October The EU Referendum Is Being Swept Under The Carpet It is clear the gap between the Conservative grassroots and the front bench is getting larger. Breitbart, 9 October Merkel set to win Nobel prize after disastrous year for Europe Why was Merkel in the running? For bringing social devastation to Europe and exacerbating a refugee crisis that is causing mayhem across the continent? The Commentator, 9 October The EU’s betrayal of Britain’s fishing industry The EU’s fisheries policies have been a disaster for Britain, destroying communities along our coasts. The Commentator, 2 October The EU is no Friend of Britain’s Small Businesses Why does the EU raise barriers to entry for our small businesses struggling to get a foothold? Breitbart London, 30 September Barmy Brussels Latest Call for Gender Equality Our campaign to Get Britain Out has revealed to the Daily Express Brussels politicians want schoolboys to learn about vacuum cleaning and dusting as part of a drive against “sexist” education. Textbooks that reinforce old-fashioned stereotypes about male and female roles would also be banned under a package backed in the European Parliament. Daily Express, 11 September Another nail in the coffin of Cameron’s EU promise The total chaos surrounding the migration crisis is a disaster for everyone involved. And so is the nature of the debate. The reality is that we must get Britain out of the EU if we are going to begin solving the problem. The Commentator, 8 September Germany stirs political turmoil in Greece… again! The appalling attacks on Greek democracy by the German-led EU are a stark illustration of precisely why we need to get Britain out as soon as possible. The Commentator, 4 September Europhile Glee for Obama is Naive US President Barack Obama recently said: “Having the United Kingdom in the European Union gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union.” thereby charging headlong into the minefield of Anglo-European relations. The Great British public must not be fooled by such impulsive comments. Breitbart London, 17 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. Better Off Out, 14 August David Cameron’s Renegotiation is Already Dead Some Eurosceptics are taking the “wait and see” approach, while David Cameron’s renegotiation on the terms of our EU membership goes on, under the illusion he might secure some adequate reforms. Now some ministers are beginning to realise he can’t deliver on his promises. Breitbart London, 14 August Germany: The dominating puppet-master of Europe Under German leadership, the EU has become an aggressive beast, no longer willing to try and secure agreements through concessions and negotiations. This authoritarian logic is inherent in a modern European project now clearly run by Germans. The Commentator, 12 August Lynton Crosby’s poll is a headache for Cameron Lynton Crosby, mastermind of the Tory election victory, recently presented a secret poll to David Cameron on why and how he won. Key findings on the public’s concerns about the EU and immigration will haunt the Prime Minister in his vain efforts for a substantial renegotiation with Brussels. The Commentator, 4 August Has the Troika destroyed Greece? In recent days and weeks, we have seen the financial and political elite of Europe humiliate Greece with the country’s economy collapsing before our eyes. The Commentator, 24 July Declining EU is Overrated as a Trading Power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. It is the past. The Commentator, 23 July Will Britain Face The Same EU Dilemma As Greece? With Greek MPs being given the choice between giving up sovereignty or leaving the eurozone the UK should beware of a similar ultimatum being one day issued to them concerning their membership of the EU. Breitbart London, 23 July Declining EU is overrated as a trading power Trade figures show we do more and more business outside the EU, which, for Britain, is a declining asset. Despite what we are being told by the mainstream media, and a political establishment intoxicated by visions of a federal Europe, the EU is not the future. The Commentator, 23 July EU Uses Fear of Terror to Expand its Surveillance Powers Over growing fears of Islamist terror attacks, the EU is exploiting public fear to expand its surveillance capabilities. This conceited effort to override current national co-operation is not the solution. Breitbart London, 22 July Brussels Belittles Women with PC-Crusade Against the “Glass Ceiling” The EU has proposed imposing bizarre new measures to encourage more women to stay in science and technical careers, citing a “glass ceiling” holding back their advancement. It will surprise absolutely no one the measures reek of misguided political correctness. Breitbart London, 14 July EU tyranny finally crushes the birthplace of democracy The big lesson the EU has “learned” from the Greek crisis is that the democratic will of the people must be suppressed even further. As Brussels crushes democracy in its birthplace, the seeds of a neo-authoritarian superstate have been definitively sown. The Commentator, 14 July UK’s success means EU contributions rise by over £3 billion It is clear the EU has very little interest in David Cameron’s renegotiation process, as they are far more concerned with saving the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Brussels keeps punishing Britain for its economic success, demanding soaring contributions. The Commentator, 10 July Greece’s brave choice – “OXI” to the tyrannical EU We in Britain will soon be facing our In/Out referendum. Let the Greeks inspire us to fight to get Britain out of the tyrannical EU. The Commentator, 7 July Business Secretary Slaps Down Europhile Business Group Business Secretary Sajid Javid has fired a shot across the bows of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) regarding its recent claim Britain should remain in the European Union “no matter what”. Breitbart London, 3 July Vicious EU will let Athens burn for failed Euro dystopia As the EU’s neo-authoritarian clown in chief Jean-Claude Juncker intimidates Greece for the cheek of consulting the people, it’s now clear Brussels will burn Athens to the ground rather than admit their disastrous mistake of creating the dystopian Eurozone. The Commentator, 3 July EU wants control over our holiday snaps, amazingly enough Astounding as it may sound, the EU is considering proposals which could ban people from taking photos of iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, without copyright permission. The real motivation is an oppressive attack on social media. The Commentator, 1 July Distant Strasbourg Lawyers Do Not Guarantee Britain’s Rights During the celebrations of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we would do well to remember Britain’s civil and tolerant nature derives from our own traditions and not those handed down to us by the Eurocrats. Breitbart London, 21 June EU Commissioners Exploit Defence to Push Federalism Following EU President Jean-Claude Juncker’s call for an EU army, the European Parliament voted to implement the Common Security and Defence Policy last week. Breitbart London, 12 June No Signs of EU Reform Yet as Brussels Remains Belligerent As David Cameron continues his tour of European capitals, the EU cannot help but send out terrible signals to the British electorate. Breitbart London, 2 June Pro-EU SNP and Plaid aim to destroy Britain but lose independence The pro-EU SNP and Plaid Cymru want to break up Britain and cause havoc with Labour on the way. But don’t for a second think they want real self-determination. If they did, they wouldn’t be planning to turn Scotland and Wales into client states of Brussels. It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU. In light of this, it is unsurprising Brussels is now pushing for an integrated “European culture” programme to convince the Great British Public of our shared European culture. Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership. But aside from this, what are the EU policies of the other parties? Breitbart, 18 April Juncker drops EU renegotiation bombshell on Cameron It is official: David Cameron’s renegotiations are over before they have even begun. Yesterday unelected European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker announced there will be no changes to EU Treaties whilst he is in office. The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item. In any event, the famous tampon tax can’t be abolished unless we quit the EU, which we should do as soon as possible. The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries. Breitbart London, 9 April EU to Switch Off British Film Industry The fanatics in the European Commission now have their sights set on the UK television, film and music industries. The Commentator, 8 April Rampant Sexism in EU Institutions A gender equality investigation of key EU institutions by Get Britain Out has discovered that the bureaucrats of the EU are failing to practice what they preach. Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another. The Conservative Woman, 12 March An EU Army: a tragedy for our armed forces It becomes ever clearer why our armed forces are being cut to the bone. If we are heading to a federal Europe, we are going to get a European defence force, however useless it may be. The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape. By introducing a tax on British cider producers, Brussels is not only attacking the manufacturers, but the majority of British adults who enjoy cider, as well as scrumpy. Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU. What principle of justice prioritises Europeans over Indians and Canadians? None. It’s just bigotry. The Commentator, 5 March Putin is a nightmare, but the EU is making matters worse The brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov reminds us of just how different British and Russian political values are.

Britain would be far better making its own Russia policy, not being a slave to Brussels.

"I'm voting out based on the laws passed without our permission alone....and theres a lot more. thats an interesting assumption.... The UK can veto some laws alone, but needs three allies to block others Not all EU decisions affecting the UK can be passed against its wishes. Some important issues can only be decided if every country voting agrees. These areas include foreign affairs, taxation, justice and the EU budget. If the UK is adamantly opposed to a law requiring unanimous approval, it's unlikely to make it as far as a vote. But in other areas, majorities are enough. Under the new system for majority voting, a law has to pass two hurdles. First, 16 out of 28 member states have to vote for it. In special cases, it's 21 out of 28. The UK naturally counts for only 1/28th from this point of view. But there is a second condition: population matters. Member states representing 65% of all the people in the EU have to vote for a law before it passes. The ability of the UK to combine with a couple of other big countries to block a law it doesn't like is made more difficult by a rider to this rule. You can get to 36% against a proposed law from just three countries, but they won't be able to block it unless joined by at least one more. In other words, if fewer than four countries oppose or abstain on a law in the Council, it passes. For example... Let's say the European Commission has proposed a new law on air pollution. When it gets to the Council, Germany, Poland and the UK vote against it, but all other countries are in favour. It has 25 out of 28 votes, passing the first test, but only 64% of the votes by population. It still passes the second test, even though it hasn't hit 65%, because there are only three countries not voting for it. But if another country joins the Nos or abstains, the law then fails. It doesn't matter which country it is, in this scenario—it could be tiny Cyprus or Malta. We recommend playing with the EU's vote calculator to get the hang of how this works. Traditionally, decisions are made without the need for a vote A lot of experts say that voting isn't where the action is when it comes to Council decisions. In a lot of cases—75-80% of the time—every country votes for the proposal on the table. There are a lot of reasons put forward to explain this consensus. It doesn't mean that the vote, or at least the prospect of a vote, isn't important. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to prepare laws that everyone can support, as there's ultimately no point in pushing something to a vote when many countries oppose it. The UK usually votes with the majority, but is now on the losing side more than any other nation When votes are taken, the UK has recently been on the losing side more often than any other country. It still voted on the winning side nearly 90% of the time over the past six years, according to academics at the London School of Economics. So the UK has to accept some EU decisions that it didn't vote for. Not every decision is equally important. The authors also point out that simply counting votes lost doesn't take into account how strongly British officials feel about them compared to the votes they won. We'll try to return to this issue in greater detail in a follow-up article. please name one law passed without our permission..... " | |||

Breitbart London, 22 July Brussels Belittles Women with PC-Crusade Against the “Glass Ceiling” The EU has proposed imposing bizarre new measures to encourage more women to stay in science and technical careers, citing a “glass ceiling” holding back their advancement. It will surprise absolutely no one the measures reek of misguided political correctness. Breitbart London, 14 July EU tyranny finally crushes the birthplace of democracy The big lesson the EU has “learned” from the Greek crisis is that the democratic will of the people must be suppressed even further. As Brussels crushes democracy in its birthplace, the seeds of a neo-authoritarian superstate have been definitively sown. The Commentator, 14 July UK’s success means EU contributions rise by over £3 billion It is clear the EU has very little interest in David Cameron’s renegotiation process, as they are far more concerned with saving the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Brussels keeps punishing Britain for its economic success, demanding soaring contributions. The Commentator, 10 July Greece’s brave choice – “OXI” to the tyrannical EU We in Britain will soon be facing our In/Out referendum. Let the Greeks inspire us to fight to get Britain out of the tyrannical EU. The Commentator, 7 July Business Secretary Slaps Down Europhile Business Group Business Secretary Sajid Javid has fired a shot across the bows of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) regarding its recent claim Britain should remain in the European Union “no matter what”. Breitbart London, 3 July Vicious EU will let Athens burn for failed Euro dystopia As the EU’s neo-authoritarian clown in chief Jean-Claude Juncker intimidates Greece for the cheek of consulting the people, it’s now clear Brussels will burn Athens to the ground rather than admit their disastrous mistake of creating the dystopian Eurozone. The Commentator, 3 July EU wants control over our holiday snaps, amazingly enough Astounding as it may sound, the EU is considering proposals which could ban people from taking photos of iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, without copyright permission. The real motivation is an oppressive attack on social media. The Commentator, 1 July Distant Strasbourg Lawyers Do Not Guarantee Britain’s Rights During the celebrations of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we would do well to remember Britain’s civil and tolerant nature derives from our own traditions and not those handed down to us by the Eurocrats. Breitbart London, 21 June EU Commissioners Exploit Defence to Push Federalism Following EU President Jean-Claude Juncker’s call for an EU army, the European Parliament voted to implement the Common Security and Defence Policy last week. Breitbart London, 12 June No Signs of EU Reform Yet as Brussels Remains Belligerent As David Cameron continues his tour of European capitals, the EU cannot help but send out terrible signals to the British electorate. Breitbart London, 2 June Pro-EU SNP and Plaid aim to destroy Britain but lose independence The pro-EU SNP and Plaid Cymru want to break up Britain and cause havoc with Labour on the way. But don’t for a second think they want real self-determination. If they did, they wouldn’t be planning to turn Scotland and Wales into client states of Brussels. It’s just an anti-English crusade The Commentator, 1 May Crazy EU Directive attacks UK home owners The latest crazy move from Brussels will cost many mortgage holders thousands. It’s another piece of crushing evidence that the only way Britain can get a fair deal is by quitting the EU as soon as humanly possible. The Commentator, 23 April The Brussels Propaganda Machine The federalist vision of Europe is a grand ambition of EU fanatics, but it needs to win over hearts and minds to succeed. Where better to start than through the impressionable minds of the young? This is why the EU runs a propaganda campaign which – among other things – brainwashes kids with glossy brochures claiming the Euro is a triumph. It is all paid for by British taxpayers. This is EU self-promotion at your expense. CapX, 23 April EU Declares War on British Culture On the back foot and with no rational arguments, Europhiles are increasingly turning to wishy-washy emotional reasons for staying within the EU. In light of this, it is unsurprising Brussels is now pushing for an integrated “European culture” programme to convince the Great British Public of our shared European culture. Breitbart, 23 April Main Parties’ Manifestos Ignore EU Concerns We all know UKIP wants to leave the European Union and David Cameron has begrudgingly promised the Conservatives will hold an In / Out Referendum on Britain’s EU membership. But aside from this, what are the EU policies of the other parties? Breitbart, 18 April Juncker drops EU renegotiation bombshell on Cameron It is official: David Cameron’s renegotiations are over before they have even begun. Yesterday unelected European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker announced there will be no changes to EU Treaties whilst he is in office. The Commentator, 16 April Of UKIP, Tories and the EU’s tampon tax Astoundingly, but tellingly, the male dominated EU bureaucracy thinks of tampons as a luxury item. In any event, the famous tampon tax can’t be abolished unless we quit the EU, which we should do as soon as possible. The Commentator, 15 April Meddling EU Wants to Call Time on British TV, Music and Film Industries After successfully destroying our agricultural and fishing industries and making a start on bringing ruin to the City of London, Brussels has now revealed the next few prosperous British sectors on its hit list – our envied television, film and music industries. Breitbart London, 9 April EU to Switch Off British Film Industry The fanatics in the European Commission now have their sights set on the UK television, film and music industries. The Commentator, 8 April Rampant Sexism in EU Institutions A gender equality investigation of key EU institutions by Get Britain Out has discovered that the bureaucrats of the EU are failing to practice what they preach. Left Foot Forward, 2 April EU Crackdown on Tax-Avoidance Spells Trouble for Britain Something went by unnoticed in the press – an EU crackdown on sweetheart tax deals was announced in a decision by the EU’s Council of Ministers. While there is certainly a public interest to see multinationals pay their fair share, the fact remains that every solution from the EU that calls for a slow convergence of our so called ‘free trade area’ makes it look like the customs union the public never voted for. Breitbart, 29 March EU Threatens Britain’s Cider Industry Brussels has launched a full frontal assault on Britain’s cider industry. A letter sent by the European Commission to the British Treasury demands tax-relief should be abolished for small-scale British cider producers. This would mean many ciders would become more expensive, no longer benefiting from the current ‘Duty-Free’ status. UKIP Daily, 30 March EU presses our cider producers If Brussels wanted to show further evidence of its arrogance and contempt for Britain, it couldn’t have thought up a dafter scheme than to try and destroy our rights to help our small cider makers. We must Get Britain Out of the EU, and right now stop this unfolding disaster. The Commentator, 23 March Leaving the EU won’t crash the car industry, just Europhile pride One of the biggest scares raised by the Europhiles is that big business in general and the car industry in particular would quit Britain if we quit the EU. But it won’t stand up to scrutiny. Why leave prospering Britain for the crisis-ridden Eurozone? The Commentator, 14 March EU fosters Britain’s appalling trade in human lives Over a decade of free movement of people with Eastern Europe has created what in effect if an area where human beings can be enslaved and trafficked from one country to another. The Conservative Woman, 12 March An EU Army: a tragedy for our armed forces It becomes ever clearer why our armed forces are being cut to the bone. If we are heading to a federal Europe, we are going to get a European defence force, however useless it may be. The Commentator, 10 March EU holds cider drinkers over a barrel The latest diktat from the European Union is a sobering example of the Eurocrats’ willingness to drown small businesses in Britain in a sea of red tape. By introducing a tax on British cider producers, Brussels is not only attacking the manufacturers, but the majority of British adults who enjoy cider, as well as scrumpy. Breitbart, 6 March Immigration should not be a toxic issue Recent immigration figures show the futility of efforts for a sensible and ethical immigration policy while we are still members of the EU. What principle of justice prioritises Europeans over Indians and Canadians? None. It’s just bigotry. The Commentator, 5 March Putin is a nightmare, but the EU is making matters worse The brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov reminds us of just how different British and Russian political values are. This, however, does not mean we should allow the EU to stir up geopolitical and other problems we just don’t need. Britain would be far better making its own Russia policy, not being a slave to Brussels. The Commentator, 3 March The Church of England and the Archbishop of Brussels The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Left-wing bishops who run the Church of England, have published a 52-page pastoral letter stacked with leftist clichés, which calls for Britain to remain in the EU. Breitbart London, 25 February British government stifles EU debate The reasons the government is giving for blanking out debate on the EU in the run-up to the general election are frankly absurd. Why are they running away from this huge issue? The Commentator, 22 February The European Union Needs Us More than We Need Them This week EU Trade Commissioner Cecila Malmstroem warned Britain’s exit from the European Union would be a “disaster” both for Britain and the rest of the EU. Breitbart London, 21 February An Ideal EU? Not Likely The reforms outlined by Business for Britain cannot safeguard Britain’s independence. The root of the problem is the EU’s central institutions. It is an old fashioned, out of date model, unfit for the 21st Century. The Commentator, 17 February Wolf Hall: A Eurosceptic Drama At last, a programme which portrays sympathetically the fight for self-determination against continental potentates and their local enthusiasts. Conservative Home, 28 January 2015 EU VAT Rules: A Serious Threat to Small Business Changes to VAT rules will prove catastrophic to small businesses, to the burgeoning market for digital goods, and especially to women. UKIP Daily, 23 January 2015 Latest EU madness threatens our NHS Last week the Commons discussed the proposed EU-US free trade agreement. One of the most important aspects discussed was how the Treaty would impact the NHS. Brussels whacks Britain yet again. Let’s Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 19 January 2015 EU in the latest disastrous move to destroy small businesses Yet again, the European Union has blundered into legislation which will make life for small business a nightmare.This time it’s the turn of online business to be clobbered, and then strangled in growth and innovation destroying red tape. The Commentator, 15 January 2015 Cameron Bars Eurosceptic Ministers From Referendum David Cameron’s move to block ministers in a future Conservative government from campaigning to quit the EU is a sign of weakness. The Commentator, 5 January 2015 British Public Declare: “We Are not Europeans” Asked how European they saw themselves, 58 percent of Brits replied they saw themselves just as British and not as European. Breitbart, 24 December 2014 Santa won’t visit the EU, but a Eurosceptic Pope did The Pope, in his wisdom, gave the EU a stern warning — it has lost its way. The Commentator, 24 December 2014 Letting Turkey into the EU would be a disaster David Cameron has announced it is still his ‘long-standing goal’ to bring Turkey into the European Union – despite the complete disaster this would be for Britain. Breitbart, 12 December 2014 More Outrageous EU Demands Whenever Eurocrats realise their ambitious spending commitments cannot be fulfilled, they casually raid Britain’s coffers while our political classes do little more than fake outrage and horror. It will only stop of we Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 12 December 2014 EU migrants make up just four percent of the NHS workforce Recent research by Get Britain Out reveals the claim the NHS relies on EU migrant labour is just another attempt to peddle the myth Britain needs the European Union. Breitbart, 6 December 2014 Britain is strong enough to thrive outside the EU No-one thinks Britain is out of it yer, but as the UK creams the Eurozone in economic performance, we are reminded that the scaremongers in Brussels have nothing to give, and we must Get Britain Out of the EU, pronto! The Commentator, 5 December 2014 Fishy EU goes fishing at Britain’s expense To stop the fishing industry around our shores from perishing and to secure our fishing waters from exploitation, it is essential we must Get Britain Out of the EU. The Commentator, 3 December 2014 Cameron’s EU Immigration reforms will achieve nothing Cameron has finally proposed how he intends to try and reform EU immigration – but he has merely shown yet again he is completely out of touch with the needs of the Great British Public. Breitbart, 29 November 2014 Cameron’s EU speech: Wishful thinking and deception Cameron, as we saw in Friday’s speech, exemplifies much of what is wrong with British politics: the utter lack of conviction. Knee-jerk reactions and smoke-and-mirrors fool no one. Rather than persisting in the fantasy of a reformed EU, we must Get Britain Out, The Commentator, 29 November 2014 The EU: Watering a Dead Tree Europe’s economy is still on its knees, but the EU’s political classes have learned nothing from their self-inflicted folly. If your house has been burned down, the last thing to do is to mistake the arsonists for the firemen. The most pragmatic move is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 28 November 2014 The EU CAP damages developing economies – and ours We are still paying £11.3 billion a year to be part of a club which cuts the disposable income of the neediest in our society. Left Foot Forward, 28 November 2014 EU Puff, Smoke and Mirrors If we really want to stop being taxed for being successful, the only answer is to Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 18 November 2014 Time to hold the EU to account For the 19th year in a row, auditors have failed to sign off the EU’s accounts. What on earth is Britain doing staying part of this farce? The Commentator, 7 November 2014 As Commonwealth exports soar, economic case for leaving European Union grows The day our trade with the Anglosphere and Commonwealth eclipses our trade with Brussels is coming ever closer. Breitbart, 1 November 2014 Ditch anti-democratic Lib Dems for EU referendum Calling Nick Clegg and his band of wet europhiles Liberal Democrats is like calling the British National Party the Racial Harmony Party. The Commentator, 1 November 2014 Another EU rip-off While the EU is trying to rip Britain off, yet again, thousands of Eurocrats earn more than most heads of government. There is vast waste on much more besides. Britain has simply got to leave. The Commentator, 30 October 2014 Its official: There is no hope for EU reform It might have gone unnoticed by most but the handover of power in Brussels is complete: we officially have a new government ruling the federal state of which we are effectively a part. Breitbart, 23 October 2014 Caps on EU migrants are illegal. Got that Dave? The Great British Public should not fall for Cameron’s parlour trick. Any current plans to cap EU migrants will be illegal under EU law and are not deliverable until after successfully severing our ties to Brussels by getting out of the EU. The Commentator, 21 October 2014 Enforced at last: Britain’s EU referendum bill Finally, we are one step closer to a guaranteed EU referendum in 2017 beung enshrined in law. Breitbart, 18 October 2014 UKIP could support Tory minority for July 2015 EU referendum As the UKIP bandwagon rolls on, the prospect of UKIP holding the balance of power in the 2015 general election is becoming less and less impossible. Breitbart, 17 October 2014 Cameron’s EU budget cuts are a mirage Yet again, David Cameron’s half-baked promises on Europe amount to nonsense. Theres only one way for Britain, and thats out of the EU. The Commentator, 5 October 2014 After Scotland, no excuses against an EU referendum Everyone has praised the democratic marvel of Scotland’s referendum. Labour, Lib Dems and dithering Tories now have no excuse whatsoever for opposing a referendum on whether Britain stays in or quits the EU. The Commentator, 19 September 2014 Europe’s youth are being conned At Get Britain Out, we have long argued that the European Union is completely out of touch. In Brussels today (17 Sep), whilst discussing the EU’s flagship “Youth Unemployment Initiative”, the Eurocrats did nothing to change our mind. UKIP Daily, 18 September 2014 As independence looms large, the Centre cannot hold National independence movements are on the rise across Europe. From Scotland to Spain – as the European Union’s stranglehold hardens, demands for sovereignty are becoming even more vocal. Breitbart, 17 September 2014 European Parliamentarians’ fingers in the till Members of the European Parliament already get expense accounts and salaries off the scale, but now they’re just taking the … well you know what. The Commentator, 16 September 2014 The fight against EU immigration is a fight for our national character We don’t need lectures from Commissioner Andor on how Britain should be run, even if he feels entitled to share his opinion. Conservative Woman, 16 September 2014 EU membership is a threat to our national security Hard as it is for the Eurocrats of Brussels to accept, it is NATO, not the EU, which has kept peace in Europe for the last 70 years. Conservative Home, 11 September 2014 The EU’s Cynical Ruse With the EU’s latest sly ruse, David Cameron, along with the rest of the political establishment, has been outfoxed by an age-old game of expectation management. The Commentator, 11 September 2014 Shame of fake EU Climate Change “aid” to Third World It is quite staggering that the EU is “helping” poverty stricken countries in Africa by pumping taxpayers’ money into, wait for it, “green energy”. The figures have to be seen to be believed. The Commentator, 9 September 2014 Energy prices continue to rise thanks to the Luddite EU The greatest harm inflicted by the EU’s energy policies is more than mere stifling of consumer choice, but in making energy more expensive, increasing household energy bills and devastating industry. Breitbart, 6 September 2014 ‘Lord Who’ Given Minor EU Portfolio: Slap Down For Cameron Today, a leaked EU document crushed David Cameron’s hopes for an important economic portfolio for his EU Commission nominee, Lord Hill. Breitbart, 4 September 2014 British influence in Brussels. What British influence? As a new study shows, the vast majority of British objections to Brussels policies are completely ignored. Europhiles who say we have to stay in the EU to protect our “influence” are, as usual, totally deluded. The Commentator, 3 September 2014 EU remains ‘Hungary’ for British money In the last month, Britain has contributed over 10 billion pounds to help fight unemployment in four other EU states. Breitbart, 2 September 2014 Immigration reform is impossible in the EU There is no way around this one, and the latest figures confirm the point: We can’t be members of the EU and control our immigration. The Commentator, 31 August 2014 Leaving the EU is the only way to cut immigration It has become a familiar routine to hear Cameron plead he can reduce net migration, and for the Office of National Statistics to publish figures which reveal the futility of his efforts. Breitbart, 31 August 2014 Juncker’s tokenism over female appointments is another reason for our quitting the EU The Treaty on European Union states one of the EU’s most important purposes is to “combat discrimination”, so why is Juncker threatening to block male EU Commissioners from the top jobs? The Conservative Woman, 27 August 2014 Retired Eurocrats get their snouts in the trough As British pensioners feel the pinch, there’s no austerity in Brussels. The European Commission has been caught shamefully splashing out billions more to line the pockets of retired EU cronies. The Commentator, 24 August 2014 Britain’s Influence in Brussels Waning Britain’s clout in the EU continues to wane, making Cameron’s renegotiation, previously an unrealistic ambition, utterly impossible. Breitbart, 19 August 2014 Killing the EU “3 Million Jobs” whopper for good A schoolboy economics student, though maybe not a Lib Dem cabinet minister, could tell you the idea we’d lose 3 million jobs if we quit the EU is rubbish. The Commentator, 18 August 2014 How the European Union is a threat to vital, scientific research In a joint letter, twenty-eight of Europe’s leading academics have warned that European Union data protection laws risk harming vital research, especially social and health-related studies. Breitbart, 17 August 2014 The EU wants to destroy the City As well as pure envy at our extraordinary success, EU attacks on the City are inspired by long-standing hostility to the “Anglo-American” model. In contrast to EU statism, that model has the shocking temerity to actually work. The Commentator, 16 August 2014 UK and the EU? Facts, unity, courage will get us out Tim Hedges calls for a united campaign for withdrawal from the EU between thinktanks including the “formidable pressure group” Get Britain Out. The Commentator, 13 August 2014 The Ghost of Lisbon The remaining provisions of that disgrace to democracy known as the EU’s Lisbon Treaty are due to come into force on 1st of November, crippling what little is left of our sovereignty. The Commentator, 11 August 2014 EU chief scientific adviser says her work should be kept secret EU technocrats hate democracy and love secrecy. Now EU chief scientific adviser says the public should not know what advice she gives. Breitbart, 9 August 2014 Boris or not, the Tories will never sell us Euroscepticism again Not for the first time, London Mayor Boris Johnson has waded into the debate over Europe, saying London is better off leaving an ‘unreformed’ European Union (EU) and that there’s no need to fear an EU exit. Breitbart, 6 August 2014 Last orders for arch European federalist Renaming a favourite Eurocrat bar after a relic of 20th century socialism and a proponent of unlimited federalism offers a piquant reminder of why Britain needs to get out of the EU as soon as possible. The Commentator, 3 August 2014 EU says “Hard Cheese” to Swiss Democracy The Swiss voted in a referendum to introduce a quota system on immigration. Very democratic. Which is why the EU hates it and is treating Switzerland with contempt. The Commentator, 28 July 2014 EU ‘grand theft’ of aid budget How the EC pockets aid money meant for the worlds poorest. Parliament Magazine, 28 July 2014 The EU’s tactics over Ukraine are fatally flawed Whatever your position on the Ukraine crisis, it has exposed the utter impotence of the EU and the fatal flaw behind the concept of the European super-state. Breitbart, 25 July 2014 Commonwealth or EU: which is best for Britain’s future? In a decade the Commonwealth will be a bigger economic power than the EU – but we can have free trade relations with both. The Commentator, 25 July 2014 UK Government confirms huge abuse of EU free movement rules The report exposes how criminals are using this EU law to “import human trafficking victims, illegal immigrants as well as illicit commodities, including rugs and counterfeit goods”. Breitbart, 24 July 2014 Keep your eye on the ball. The real story is Europe The actual vote by the European Parliament, confirming the election of Juncker as President, was barely mentioned. Such is the anti-democratic nature of the EU. The Commentator, 21 July 2014 The EU’s ‘Free’ Trade Treaty Will Enslave Britain With the latest round of negotiations for the new EU-US trade treaty starting on Monday, left-wing activists are finally waking up to the threat the EU poses to the rights of the British working class. Breitbart, 10 July 2014 GBO Comment: Bin the EU Instead Many of us have concluded that the EU is a load of rubbish. Little did we know that this is not just a figure of speech The Commentator 4 July 2014 Britain’s Natural Home is the Commonwealth, not the EU A deep divide is growing between Britain and the EU as the latter piles on regulations in the name of the Single Market. The Commonwealth is the best alternative to EU membership. Breitbart, 4 July 2014 EU Enlargement continues to rile Russia, Putin claims another series of victories While the Ukraine crisis rumbles on, a number of seemingly unconnected events in Eastern Europe are building up increasing instability Breitbart, 29 June 2014 EU doors open to Europe’s trafficking capital If you thought criminal gangs from Romania were a problem you ain’t seen nothing yet. The EU’s latest crazy idea is to bring in Albania, the drug and people trafficking capital of Europe. The Commentator, 27 June 2014 EU ignores 2 million-strong demand for end to embryo research A petition proposing to stop the EU funding the destruction of human embryos has been ignored by the Commission. The Conservative Woman, 7 June 2014 Brazen Brussels milks Britain for more money Make no mistake about it, the latest demand for cash from Brussels is the EU’s petulant and small minded way of slapping the European public across the face for daring to vote against the beloved project The Commentator, 29 May 2014 Britain rejects Cameron’s Renegotiation and Miliband’s Fence Sitting The results say it all. UKIP have topped the European Election results with a 27.5 percent share of the vote, beating both the Labour and Conservative Parties Breitbart, 28 May 2014 Clegg Battered and Bruised by Eurosceptic Majority Twice Nick Clegg attempted to debate Nigel Farage, the champion of the Eurosceptic cause in Britain, and twice he limped back bloodied and humiliated. The Huffington Post, 27 May 2014 UK public ‘completely powerless’ in selection of commission president According to Jean-Claude Junker, the frontrunner for the new European commission presidency, its not his problem that the EU will end up with a president no-one in Britain voted for.

" The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders..... Europe is fundamental to the current and future success of the UK automotive industry... This recent success of the automotive sector has been significant in the UK’s recovery with thousands of jobs created. Automotive accounts for 10% of the UK’s trade in goods, suppliers add £4.8 billion in added value and the sector as a whole turned over £60.5 billion last year. • Access to the EU market is reflected in the fact that 49% of UK-produced vehicles are sold across the largest Single Market in the world, unhindered by any tariffs or costly regulatory barriers. • Innovation in UK automotive is boosted by significant EU R&D funding. In total approximately £3.5 billion has been awarded to UK businesses and universities across all sectors to encourage growth. • Free movement of labour within European borders gives automotive businesses the ability to blend UK and international talent at all levels of the industry. • The UK’s thriving new car market and the country’s position within the EU help make it an attractive place to invest and since 2013 more than £8 billion worth of funding has been allocated to automotive operations here. • British automotive manufacturing employs 160,000 people and produces 1.5 million cars each year. Around 80% of UK vehicles are exported to more than 100 countries, with more than 50% shipped to the EU – our biggest single trading region. • In 2014, 72.4% of the 2.47 million new cars registered in the UK were imported from Europe, • The collective bargaining strength of the EU helps reduce trade barriers with key global markets such as China, which are critical for the UK’s diverse automotive manufacturing base. • A UK government commissioned report states that UK vehicle output could increase by up to 7.3% under TTIP. Could? Or would? There's a big difference... others may say that negotiating our own deals could increase UK vehicle output by 10%, or 15%, or anything. • Businesses outside of the EU still have to abide by its regulations if they are to sell products into the European single market. As businesses from within the EU have to abide by others regulations when exporting there. • As a member of the EU, the UK has a strong voice in shaping legislation and policies that drive innovation and competitiveness in UK automotive. An example is EU CO2 regulation which has led to a 16.9% reduction in UK new car CO2 emissions since its introduction in 2009, while supporting our domestic strength in small volume manufacturing. How well did that one work for VW again? • Access to a mobile UK and EU workforce allows manufacturers to research, design, engineer and produce vehicles from the ground up here in the UK. We would still have access to the mobile UK workforce, and EU citizens would still be able to work here, but on a skills basis requiring visas... thus increasing the level of skilled workers employed... • The UK automotive industry faces a projected skills shortage and is investing millions of pounds in domestic engineering expertise. To supplement this home-grown talent, the industry is able to freely access experts and specialists from across the EU, increasing its international competitiveness. The industry has bought this state of affairs upon itself over many years of non-investment in training skills, preferring to buy in labour instead. The same as the NHS has done, for example. So of the 1.5 Million cars we make, about 750,000 of them go to the EU. Meanwhile we import 1.8 Million cars a year from the EU. And if we leave the EU, losing that trading relationship may mean we won't be able to import or export cars from/to the EU? Wouldn't that mean that our motor industry would then have a ready made market of 1.8 Million car sales within the UK, whilst losing 750,000 car sales to the EU... i.e. have to increase car production in the UK by over 60%? Kind of knocks the 7% increase through TTIP into a cooked hat. In jobs terms, that means about an additional 100,000 jobs being created! You said we wouldn't be able to import from Europe not me. I'd call that typical Brexit scaremongering. Meanwhile you should ask the smmt their opinion. They probably know more about the car market than you (and me). I'd take their opinion of the value of membership of the eu over yours any day." No, I asked the question, because I can't see what the smmt are trying to say, can you? They say TTIP could increase demand, not will increase demand. They have not said that Brexit would decrease demand, merely that not being a part of the EU would inhibit them from getting skilled labour. I have said that it would not inhibit them from getting skilled labour, just that if they wanted to employ someone from abroad, they could do so by that person getting a visa, which companies can, as in for example Australia, sponsor individuals. | |||

"LEAVE..On the 23rd....Cameron to leave on the 24th." And what do you think might happen after that? Cameron will have left a divided party and the opposition will no doubt push for a vote of no confidence in the government and demand an election. Although this is not technically allowed anymore, a Brexit vote, collapse of the government and ensuing economic chaos would be justification to call one on the basis of it being a constitutional crisis. Then what?..... The Conservatives will not get in again and so you can reasonably expect a Labour / Lib Dem alliance followed by emergency renegotiations with the EU whilst Scotland announce Indy Ref 2. EU referendum 2 will follow, end of 2016, early 2017 and under overwhelming pressure of a breakup of the United Kingdom, collapse of the pound and a spike in Unemployment the UK will vote to remain in the EU. | |||

I think it's going to come down to what happens the week of the vote and whether it's a sunny day or not. Facts Schmacts won't make a difference in the end as this vote is going to be about personal fears. | |||

As it is the tory party is already spilt now and Cameron has lost his credibility and authority. The sooner he goes the better. When he said before his pathetic EU non-renegotiation "If i don't get what i want i rule nothing out".

" The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders..... Europe is fundamental to the current and future success of the UK automotive industry... This recent success of the automotive sector has been significant in the UK’s recovery with thousands of jobs created. Automotive accounts for 10% of the UK’s trade in goods, suppliers add £4.8 billion in added value and the sector as a whole turned over £60.5 billion last year. • Access to the EU market is reflected in the fact that 49% of UK-produced vehicles are sold across the largest Single Market in the world, unhindered by any tariffs or costly regulatory barriers. • Innovation in UK automotive is boosted by significant EU R&D funding. In total approximately £3.5 billion has been awarded to UK businesses and universities across all sectors to encourage growth. • Free movement of labour within European borders gives automotive businesses the ability to blend UK and international talent at all levels of the industry. • The UK’s thriving new car market and the country’s position within the EU help make it an attractive place to invest and since 2013 more than £8 billion worth of funding has been allocated to automotive operations here. • British automotive manufacturing employs 160,000 people and produces 1.5 million cars each year. Around 80% of UK vehicles are exported to more than 100 countries, with more than 50% shipped to the EU – our biggest single trading region. • In 2014, 72.4% of the 2.47 million new cars registered in the UK were imported from Europe, • The collective bargaining strength of the EU helps reduce trade barriers with key global markets such as China, which are critical for the UK’s diverse automotive manufacturing base. • A UK government commissioned report states that UK vehicle output could increase by up to 7.3% under TTIP. Could? Or would? There's a big difference... others may say that negotiating our own deals could increase UK vehicle output by 10%, or 15%, or anything. • Businesses outside of the EU still have to abide by its regulations if they are to sell products into the European single market. As businesses from within the EU have to abide by others regulations when exporting there. • As a member of the EU, the UK has a strong voice in shaping legislation and policies that drive innovation and competitiveness in UK automotive. An example is EU CO2 regulation which has led to a 16.9% reduction in UK new car CO2 emissions since its introduction in 2009, while supporting our domestic strength in small volume manufacturing. How well did that one work for VW again? • Access to a mobile UK and EU workforce allows manufacturers to research, design, engineer and produce vehicles from the ground up here in the UK. We would still have access to the mobile UK workforce, and EU citizens would still be able to work here, but on a skills basis requiring visas... thus increasing the level of skilled workers employed... • The UK automotive industry faces a projected skills shortage and is investing millions of pounds in domestic engineering expertise. To supplement this home-grown talent, the industry is able to freely access experts and specialists from across the EU, increasing its international competitiveness. The industry has bought this state of affairs upon itself over many years of non-investment in training skills, preferring to buy in labour instead. The same as the NHS has done, for example. So of the 1.5 Million cars we make, about 750,000 of them go to the EU. Meanwhile we import 1.8 Million cars a year from the EU. And if we leave the EU, losing that trading relationship may mean we won't be able to import or export cars from/to the EU? Wouldn't that mean that our motor industry would then have a ready made market of 1.8 Million car sales within the UK, whilst losing 750,000 car sales to the EU... i.e. have to increase car production in the UK by over 60%? Kind of knocks the 7% increase through TTIP into a cooked hat. In jobs terms, that means about an additional 100,000 jobs being created! You said we wouldn't be able to import from Europe not me. I'd call that typical Brexit scaremongering. Meanwhile you should ask the smmt their opinion. They probably know more about the car market than you (and me). I'd take their opinion of the value of membership of the eu over yours any day. No, I asked the question, because I can't see what the smmt are trying to say, can you? They say TTIP could increase demand, not will increase demand. They have not said that Brexit would decrease demand, merely that not being a part of the EU would inhibit them from getting skilled labour. I have said that it would not inhibit them from getting skilled labour, just that if they wanted to employ someone from abroad, they could do so by that person getting a visa, which companies can, as in for example Australia, sponsor individuals. " You can read the information on SMMT's website which is quite clear about their viewpoint and that of their members and gives specific examples which should help you understand if you are genuinely interested. The same applies for the NFU's viewpoint. | |||

"It's a shame that "large numbers of people asked for balanced, fair opinion" actually received a one-sided leaflet, but if I'm honest, bearing in mind the 10 years or so of uncertainty, I can't help think that the 'out' group are made up of Daily Mail reading ex-colonels who are stuck in the 1950s. I'm not sure I could be persuaded to follow one of them 'over the top'
Mr.ddc"My initial objection to the leaflet was the cost of producing a one sided leaflet. Now that I've read it my objection is that the money was not well spent. It's not convincing. It's repetitive and apart from the quality of the paper, doesn't appear to have used the money to make a decent case to stay in. They need to up their game for the campaign proper, when they each get £7m+ of public money to make their case. | |||

Mr.ddc
Got my leaflet today, and promptly posted it back in the Mailbox with "Return to sender" on it. Over 200,000 signatures now on an official online petition against it, so it looks like Cameron will have to answer questions on the sending of those leaflets in the house of commons at some point soon.
Newspaper reports today likening Cameron's behaviour over these one sided propoganda leaflets to that of Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe."reports as in more than one in different papers? got to be honest the propaganda from our Dave to which i am not happy with on the lack of fairness is hardly the same as unleashing machete wielding thugs on farmers amongst other acts of barbarism.. | |||

I overcooked a Quorn sausage casserole the other day, and compared myself to the mass murderer Robert Mugabe too.
You sure it wasn't when you posted that thread joking about Ian Huntley escaping from Prison the other week? That seemed like something Mugabe would do. "Oooo....how long have you been waiting to shoehorn that one in? Well played, sir. Do you believe that David Cameron is as bad as Robert Mugabe? Much as I dislike him, that's pretty poor form, don't you think? Or are you just throwing mountains of mud and praying some will stick? | |||

"27 other countries have to agree on every move we wish to make .... Bitain needs to start becoming great Britain again.... not lemming Britain .." No. Not every move we make. Just the moves we want to make together. And only then on issues where we have all agreed to a unanimous vote - things like allowing Turkey to join the EU. On things like new members joining, you are right, any single member (including the UK of course) saying 'no' means that it doesn't happen. | |||

Don't see the connection"That's because there is no connection to the price of oil in this referendum. Even if there was it was the SNP harping on about the price of oil and its the same SNP now who wants us to stay in the EU. SNP were wrong then and they are wrong now. However there is connection to issues around the euro in this referendum which is why those who said we should join the euro before can't be trusted now. | |||

"IMMIGRATION Britain has given away control of immigration within the EU to the EU, and retains the power only to control non-EU immigration. This has led to huge disparities where Commonwealth citizens with family in Britain struggle to obtain visas whilst EU citizens with little link with the UK can automatically work here. It has also contributed to the largest ever inflows into the UK in our history, with the UK population rising by 4 million from 1997, which is only slightly less than the entire population of (Southern) Ireland moving to the UK in that timescale, and that figure is the net figure, which does not take into account the economic, social and cultural impacts of a mass outflow of British citizens to settle abroad. The British population used to be stable of about 58 million, and it is uncontrolled immigration that has driven the population up rapidly to the current 62 million (ONS figures). Leaving the EU will empower Britain to adopt the more balanced and more tightly controlled immigration policy, similar to the Australian visa-based system. This visa system could set down the number of visas available according to UK needs and the ability of public services, housing and infrastructure on a very crowded island to cope. It is likely that certain EU nation states will enjoy visa waiver schemes (in reality there is less need for visas with nations with comparative economic profiles such as France, Germany and Holland, the biggest inflows have been from former Communist states). In the EU, all the EU citizens have the right to move to the UK regardless of skill needs. This has resulted in the equivalent of a new city the size of York arriving every year. With easier travel for North African countries and the prospect of Turkey’s 79 million citizens being given the right to work in the EU, the scale of uncontrolled immigration is likely to worsen considerably unless the UK withdraws rapidly. Better controls over criminal elements coming into the UK, difficult under the EU’s open door approach, can be enhanced too

Do yourself a favour and actually question the sources of information - predominately UKIP uses, as my dad found out when he read them, they tend to cherry pic figures.

Additionally think about things like this - what the OUT campaign hasn't told you, because it makes people think twice. The EU throws a lot of money into NHS and University research for things such as cancer therapy, renewable technology, medical technology and drug development, all things that come back and benefit British society quite quickly. The OUT campaign would argue - the money we don't pay to the EU would go into that, but would it really, the last 8 years of government has shown that the majority of them at them moment wouldn't follow through with that. | |||

"LEAVE..On the 23rd....Cameron to leave on the 24th. And what do you think might happen after that? Cameron will have left a divided party and the opposition will no doubt push for a vote of no confidence in the government and demand an election. Although this is not technically allowed anymore, a Brexit vote, collapse of the government and ensuing economic chaos would be justification to call one on the basis of it being a constitutional crisis. Then what?..... The Conservatives will not get in again and so you can reasonably expect a Labour / Lib Dem alliance followed by emergency renegotiations with the EU whilst Scotland announce Indy Ref 2. EU referendum 2 will follow, end of 2016, early 2017 and under overwhelming pressure of a breakup of the United Kingdom, collapse of the pound and a spike in Unemployment the UK will vote to remain in the EU." Great analysis there. The OUT campaign really paint Brexit as permanent rainbows and sunshine from the White cliffs to the Highlands. They have not addressed what so many in campaigners and undecided voters have asked which is, name the worst case scenarios. I mean, trust me, getting the Tories out is a wonderful dream, but with the two main political parties in England and Wales divided on certain issues internally, and the economy being so fragile, as well as employment only just, starting to improve, now is not the time to gamble and risk a new recession along with a host of other issues. I have no real love for the EU in it's current state, but the desire for a more democratic EU is pan European, I think we are better off staying in and fighting for it. | |||

Their opinions then get diluted as motions are passed to the commons, the Conservatives some how still keep their position, given Osborne's current record, will he say, ah yes, tax cuts for all people, all councils, more investment in the NHS because we now have more money. Or will he continue? I'm sorry but from what I understand the OUT campaign cannot guarantee, and has no plan, to ensure that money would go to aiding the majority of society. | |||

This visa system could set down the number of visas available according to UK needs and the ability of public services, housing and infrastructure on a very crowded island to cope. It is likely that certain EU nation states will enjoy visa waiver schemes (in reality there is less need for visas with nations with comparative economic profiles such as France, Germany and Holland, the biggest inflows have been from former Communist states). In the EU, all the EU citizens have the right to move to the UK regardless of skill needs. This has resulted in the equivalent of a new city the size of York arriving every year. With easier travel for North African countries and the prospect of Turkey’s 79 million citizens being given the right to work in the EU, the scale of uncontrolled immigration is likely to worsen considerably unless the UK withdraws rapidly. Better controls over criminal elements coming into the UK, difficult under the EU’s open door approach, can be enhanced too
Did that come from some UKIP publicity?
Usually I don't say this about discussions like this, but this is pointless.
You clearly have made up your decision, which is fair enough. Though don't subject the rest of us to your poorly supported summary and points from VERY biased media outlets.
Do yourself a favour and actually question the sources of information - predominately UKIP uses, as my dad found out when he read them, they tend to cherry pic figures. Seriously, my 12 year old cousin presents information in a fairer and more analytical context than they do.
Additionally think about things like this - what the OUT campaign hasn't told you, because it makes people think twice. The EU throws a lot of money into NHS and University research for things such as cancer therapy, renewable technology, medical technology and drug development, all things that come back and benefit British society quite quickly. The OUT campaign would argue - the money we don't pay to the EU would go into that, but would it really, the last 8 years of government has shown that the majority of them at them moment wouldn't follow through with that.
Of course it would and more. Jeez
If that isn't sarcasm then please answer this question - so the OUT campaign wins, they announce how much money the UK now has extra for each year, for each budget. Their opinions then get diluted as motions are passed to the commons, the Conservatives some how still keep their position, given Osborne's current record, will he say, ah yes, tax cuts for all people, all councils, more investment in the NHS because we now have more money. Or will he continue? I'm sorry but from what I understand the OUT campaign cannot guarantee, and has no plan, to ensure that money would go to aiding the majority of society."There are no guarantees in life. But our only hope for a better future for ourselves and the people of Europe is for us to leave the EU. Or are you only concerned about the people in this country? | |||

"IMMIGRATION Britain has given away control of immigration within the EU to the EU, and retains the power only to control non-EU immigration. This has led to huge disparities where Commonwealth citizens with family in Britain struggle to obtain visas whilst EU citizens with little link with the UK can automatically work here. It has also contributed to the largest ever inflows into the UK in our history, with the UK population rising by 4 million from 1997, which is only slightly less than the entire population of (Southern) Ireland moving to the UK in that timescale, and that figure is the net figure, which does not take into account the economic, social and cultural impacts of a mass outflow of British citizens to settle abroad.

There are no guarantees in life. But our only hope for a better future for ourselves and the people of Europe is for us to leave the EU. Or are you only concerned about the people in this country?"Wow, where to begin with all the flaws of that statement. For a start there are guarantees in life - if I fall over it will hurt because my nervous system works as it should, if I on't drink water I will become dehydrated, if I throw something in solid in the air then it will come down and land again due to gravity. These can be guaranteed as they can be empirically tested. Which is something the LEAVE campaign is not good at, testing and validating their claims. Our only option for a good future is to leave the EU? Wow, that shows how inflexible and unintelligent the LEAVE campaign leaders or yourself are. There are alternatives, other trading blocs, a pan European campaign for a modernised EU, the desire for which is now there with half the EU commission trying to push the TTIP through and the other half working to reject and organise political protests against it. Am I only concerned about British people? No, considering my parents are from Italy and Sweden, and I was born here as a British national, and that most of my friends live outside of the UK, I pretty much want the best deal for all EU member states as well as countries the EU works in conjunction with. And with that said I can say quite confidently, that Britain leaving the EU, would cause collateral European damage. | |||

"£10,000,000,000 a year could buy Britain 5 brand new 532 bed hospitals like The University of Texas Southwestern hospital. 20 new Schools and or specialist training colleges, more police, more nurses, more doctors, more teachers - better paid and better equipped. We would even have change to support our Armed forces with much needed additional resources. How would you spend £10 billion ? I'm voting leave the EU because I support the NHS!!" I'm glad you support the NHS, but sadly all that extra money, most likely would not go where we (the average taxpayers) need it to go. Give George Osborne that money and it will trickle away elsewhere. | |||

"Will any of the remain posters in this thread admit to wanting to adopt the Euro when it was introduced to protect our economy/jobs etc. or will you just pretend to be wise/intelligent after the event? as clutching at straws comments go its a pretty feeble one.. what next, do the remain posters in this thread like 'foreign food', drive cars from over the channel..
What's that got to do with it? I was just wondering if anyone was taken in by the scaremongering last time as well"most people of whatever persuasion in or out etc would have looked at the economic issue, mind you we weren't offered a referendum as i recall so its all speculation.. its not treason to say yes we want to remain in the Eu either but some would have you think thats the case with their rhetoric on here.. | |||

"Just on sky news the 2 campaigns competing for the official designation from the electoral commission to Leave the EU, Grassroots out (Go campaign) and the 'vote Leave' campaign, the electoral commission has chosen the Vote Leave campaign as the official one. Looking forward to the 2 campaigns uniting now and working together to get Britain out of the EU. "says a lot about what they think of Farage.. | |||

That money will go to the Nhs, it will also go to, as Nigel Lawson said on the Andrew Marr show last Sunday it would continue to support our farming industry as it does now, it would also go to fund the research development projects you listed earlier in the thread. The money can be continued to be spent as it is now plus we would have extra on top to spend as we wish. Brexit is a win win situation, as it is now we are being short changed by the EU and it's lavishly funded neo liberal construction, fat cat eurocrats on the gravy train who don't have this country's best interest at heart. | |||
