There is one burning issue, especially for people like myself. I want to be able to vote out of the EU that I never ever wanted, along with the 48% that voted against in 1975. This has been denied the British public by several governments that think they know best and cannot trust us to do the right thing. I voted against going into the Common Market. We were not sold the EU at that time. I hated the fact that we were letting down the Commonwealth and the brave people who stood and died along side our soldiers in WW2 to keep the UK free. We went through so much to keep our freedom and our Parliament. Germany Italy and France knew what it was to be conquered and needed unity to stop it happening again. We in the UK didn't. If we want political change in the UK we can vote for it. With 28 countries in the EU we are outvoted. I want my country to be able to make its own laws and trade deals. There was an £89 billion trade deficit with the EU last year and £56 the year before. We sell much more to the world. We are the biggest export market for Germany in the world. We are the worlds 5th largest economy. America has been able to put up tariffs against Chinese steel dumping that are effective. Wales is going to lose its steel industry because the EU are so weak on this issue. We have restricted fishing around our own shores because it is open to the whole of the EU. Our Fishing industry is all but destroyed by this. Wales going begging for cash off the EU is a deep humiliation. When we get the cash we build walls on roundabouts that we cannot see. Nigel Farage crashes through PC and tells it as he sees it and that is a major thing for me. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03864091230929514206noreply@blogger.com
