That might just be what we need to initiate a revolution in the UK - the thought of being taken over by corrupt EU bureaucrats in a superstate that we have never been given the opportunity to vote for or against. Edward Heath took us into the Common
Market in 1973 and the Wilson government's referendum in 1975 confirmed this decision. The only mandate any government has ever sought from the UK electorate was to join a
common market not a single currency, not a single state, not a single legislative body.
Most of our privileged political class
LOVE the EU while many ordinary people have suffered under its various insanities. How many small businesses went under as a result of the ridiculous London Low Emission Zone which forced thousands of small businesses to scrap their perfectly functional vans and buses due to a totally random emission limit imposed by EU functionaries. Hopefully the EU will self-destruct before we are forced to "integrate" further with its totally corrupt system. If the EU was a company or a charity, those who run it would have been imprisoned years ago. This is a body whose accounts haven't been signed off by the European Court of Auditors for
14 years.

No wonder UKIP, despite being largely the domain of right wing fruitcakes, is beginning to take off in the UK.
