People voted to join the Common Market, not the United States of Europe, which is the ultimate aim. How did the political side of this 'Common Market' come about? Most of the regulations that our businesses have to adhere to come from these regulations. I understand that you have to make sure that the goods you produce for a particular market have to match the consumers' requirements, but this has always been the case. I lived in Australia when the UK joined the Common Market. They turned their back on a huge Commonwealth trade and were very much disliked for jeapordising jobs there. It must have had the same effect for the rest of the Commonwealth. They simply went out and sold to other countries, like Japan and China. No doubt we would do the same.
As for defence, our Armed Forces have been cut back to the minimum. Our new aircraft carriers are being built to carry French planes. If that is not to build up a European Defence Force I don't know what is. If that is the way forward, then so be it. I doubt I will have to worry about it, but if it is not what you want for your grandchildren, then please wake up and take note. don't just listen to what the politicians tell you, look, listen and think for yourself.
