Eurosceptics admit EU membership 'is in UK interest'

Given that the UK is by far the biggest customer of the Eurozone, and with a heavy trade surplus benefiting the Eurozone, I don't see that cutting our shackles with Brussels will be all that detrimental. Will the Germans, French, Italians etc. really stop selling us cars, cheese, wine and so on? The reality is they can't afford to not deal with us on a tariff free basis.

The truth is Open Europe has no clue why the EU exists, Had the researchers of open Europe done their homework, they would have discovered that a Briton wrote about EU - how it would develop, its character and future prospects - even before the French founding Fathers of EU - Jean Monnet and Robert Schuman - were born in 1888 and 1886. This Briton specifically recorded that a confederation of European nations would develop through a great European crisis, and this group of nations would become one of the major political features in history. He described the EU "the vile confederacy of the latter days. He has been proved right, The EU is corrupt -its accounts have not been approved for years. The EU is anti-democratic. Which serious investor would buy shares in a company whose accounts have not been approved for years

Britain does not need the doomed EU. The Euro may be saved but the EU cannot be saved. Open Europe must also realise that EU leaders have ignored the critical advice Schuman and Adeanuer offered Europeans concerning the survival of the European project.

Ms May has just informed us that our Government has decided that we are to be snooped on, telephones tapped, e-mails etc to protect children etc. What she did not say was that our elected Government that we pay to govern us, is only following orders of the Unelected would be EU Government through DIRECTIVE 2006/24/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 15 March 2006 on the retention of data generated or processed in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communications services or of public communications networks and amending Directive 2002/58/EC.

As a UK Government took us into the EC/EEC/EU WITHOUT A REFERENDUM, it is up to our UK Government to take us out. We had no referendum to go in, we do not need one to come out. If a UK government EVER WANTS TO GAIN ANY CREDIBILITY OR RESPECT OR TO EVEN GOVERN THIS COUNTRY EVER AGAIN, IT should make the decision to repeal the European Communities Act 1972/3 immediately and then repudiate all EU Treaties.

Once THAT is done, we will however, have a referendum after we are OUT of the EU altogether, to see "if we have done the right thing-similar to the Referendum we had when we were asked if we wanted to remain in the Treaty of Rome in 1975 after the British Government took us into that Organisation and the people were told lie after lie what the European Community was all about. Yet all in that Parliament at that time-as you do Know NOW-knew it was about the one State of European Union.

No Sue I do not have a blog. I have just been reading a Court Case re the retention of Data, that Ireland took and sadly lost, but thank you Ireland for trying.

However. In the last war-which I remember very well indeed-read all about it-, no one minded letters opened etc in those days, and we were glad such security was activated-BUT WE ARE NOT AT WAR NOW ARE WE. The EU is all about Peace, Security, Sharing, etc AND THEY COME UP WITH this! And as long as we remain in the EU-we all have to obey-even we are told is an EU Citizen by kindly deeds of SIR John MAJOR.

We have a Government that doesn't even have the guts to say to any of us, that all they are doing is obeying EU ORDERS like the rest of us. Remind us all please, why are we voting for them and why are we paying them and perhaps THAT is more to the point. They still want our money and vast expenses yet do not want to Govern this Country. Me ANGRY? But just tell me please, when it comes to voting in a General Election WHY DOES ANYONE WANT TO VOTE FOR ANY OF THE THREE MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES THAT WANT TO REMAIN IN THE EU FOREVER?

You have a free vote Sue, use it. Everyone should use their vote but they should always use it wisely. I have asked for "see through Ballot Boxes" to make sure they are empty when they are brought in for a General election, a ban on postal votes unless it can be proven that the person is indisposed etc.

You vote for a UK Politician to Govern this Country according to its own Long Standing Common law Constitution, they cannot do that until this Country is Free from foreign Governance. It seems all three major Political Parties want the money, the title, the vast expenses yet want foreigners to govern this Country forever. As long as people continue to vote for any one of those three major political parties, they get what they used their vote for.

In case some haven't noticed, the Euro-Zone is still on course for breaking up. It certainly is not out of the "woods" yet. In the mean time the EU as a whole comes up with the EU Directive 2006/24/EC. Ignoring the fact that previous EU Directives allegedly protected certain communications. This is an EU Directive that wants to and gives the EU the right to snoop on everything and everybody in the EU and has the money apparently through our Contributions financially to do it.

Yet how or why can a Sovereign British Government allow a foreign organisation dictate to what is supposed to be a freely elected Government by the people in this once Sovereign Country-a Country THAT SO MANY CIVILIANS AND FORCES GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR IN TWO WORLD WARS? Was it all for this full scale snooping into private innocent people’s lives every day, every Year and for this information to go to foreigners on the Continent? WHY? It does not make any sense.

We are told that "it is essential that the UK is able to obtain communications data in the interests of national security and the prevention and detection of crime; End of Quotes. But this isn’t just about NATIONAL SECURITY is it, because all this information is not just going to remain with National Governments at all, because all this information is required by the European Union, the private information re telephone calls, e-mails etc are to be forwarded to and for the European Union, under EU Directive 2006/24/EC. This is not just about one or two people’s Telephone calls, or e-mails etc, or even letters, noted who to or from. It is about the Surveillance of a whole NATION. A Nation whose people fought and died for ALL OUR FREEDOM which between you all, in that once greatly envied Houses of Parliament are paying dearly in more ways than one, to give away-forever. Read in full also the proposals in EU Document COM/2012/09 the security of our Country to the EU. This is allewgedly because of TERROISM and TERRORISTS.

Open Europe, the Eurosceptic think tank close to the Conservative party can think what they like for the rest of the people are coming out of the EU. We have fought two World Wars to be FREE and we are not going to let all those that died fighting or being bombed to HELL (Millions and Millions of them) to have died for nothing for THIS-to be spied on forever!
