Re: EU Interference
HiI am all in favour of the Common Market and seriously not bothered about Free Movement.
I view both as a benefit to all.
The EU?
A very different animal.
NO, NO and NO.
I simply do not want to be part of it.
I voted No knowing that there would be a financial and personal cost.
It was worth it.
I am not going to be ruled by France and Germany.

The Maastricht Treaty, signed in 1992, renamed the EEC (by then 12 member states including UK – Greece, Spain and Portugal joined in the 1980s) as the European Community (EC) to reflect that it covered a wider range than economic policy. This treaty also founded the European Union (EU) into which the EC countries were incorporated.*

We joined the common market in 1973.
There's another history lesson I've given you for free.
