Plugging the Euro gap

May 16 2008 by Our Correspondent, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

WHEN Europhobes say we should leave the EU they forget to tell us a few things. Around four millions British jobs depend directly on the EU, with probably millions more depending indirectly on all those jobs, and we gain £100bn a year in trade.

So how will we replace those millions of jobs, how long will take and what will happen to the millions of unemployed whilst waiting for this miracle?

Second how will they replace £100bn a year in lost trade, how long will it take, and how will the government, whichever one it maybe, pay its bills, pensions, family allowances etc and what will happen to all the even more millions affected?

Tell us how you will perform this great miracle. And don’t come out with that “special trading agreement”. Norway has one but only because it agrees to obey 80% of EU laws without a word in the making of those laws.

Advice for the PM

TWO things our PM should do if he wants to win back the majority of the British people.

First bring back all British troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. This war is illegal and costing millions of pounds a day and will NEVER be won.

His second move should be to bring back hanging.
