by David Cameron (*) - Britain is going to hold a referendum on whether to stay in the European Union. Support for our membership has declined over many years, so I am negotiating changes in 4 areas which will directly address the concerns of the British people. But I believe these changes can build a stronger EU that will benefit all 28 member states. Let me explain. Read full article

    What a load of meaningless baloney.

    “In Britain’s case, we do not want to be part of an ever-closer political union.”

    Then we cannot remain in the EU, because that is why it was founded, it is what all the treaties are about, a United States of Europe.

    Cameron is a terrible leader.
    Get rid of him and put someone smart in there.

    UK should leave the EU asap.

    The problem, Mr Cameron, is that you don't listen to the people. How many of your “demands” are related to business rather than to people. There's one “little” issue going on right at the moment. Jeremy Corbyn, the man who has claimed twice as much in expenses as his salary over the years, who would like to make Britain defenceless, who has forgotten the 255 British servicemen who died freeing the Falkland Islands and wants to give the Islands to argentina, is urging youu to take in 3,000 unaccompanied “children and young people”. If we controlled our own borders and were outside the EU, we could raise two fingers. As it stands you will be pressured. But ask yourself some questions. You are being “urged” by charities. Where do those charities get their money? Be it from the government or by tear-jerking appeals, it comes from the British people. And still they want more.

    With the recent court judgment, anyone with a link to the UK should be allowed in. That's an open door for millions.

    These are some of the reasons, not forgetting that Britain managed for at least a thousand years without Europe, why we must get out, stand on our own two feet and make our own destiny.

    As usual Camoron is lying through his teeth.

    What do we want: OUT!

    When do we want it: NOW!

    It's very simple to understand Camoron.

    Lets be clear of the 24 voting occasions where UK took a particular position.
    Only on one of these votes did the EU align with us, the other times we were overruled and outvoted, mainly by the Euro bloc to our detriment.

    You may not be in a hurry Dave, but the British public are definitely up for leaving as fast as possible.

    And keeping the 11 billion we give away each year to our competitors in net EU contributions.

    It is amazing that the UK has to pay to have the EU anchor around its neck.

    How stupid were the people who signed up for that?

    we have been conned, but what sticks in the throat is the fact our government and previous governments have been lying to us,
    they know the EU is corrupt and is destroying us, they know full well the EU wants a united states of Europe at any costs,
    they know full well the incompetence of the immigration mess the EU has put us in,

    they know full well they have no legal or moral rights to give away power , laws and control of our country , and no rights to override the people and give away our sovereignty without our consent, this is nothing short of Treason against the people in favour of the big businesses and powerful people worth millions,

    we have [ I feel ] one last chance to get out before we are swallowed up and see great Britain reduced to nothing more, that the northern province of France.

    if you want to remain British, then out it must be,
    remember the EU has its own Flag , Anthem , Police, and now its very own border force, the EURO , and majority voting elimination the national veto,

    A political Union will have no place for or monarchy our flag anthem customs or rights of sovereignty,
    and definitely no room for national sentiments , including our foreign policy defence or overseas territories,
    do you really think the EU will let great Britain retain these places ??

    it just my opinion,
    out to remain British,
    to stay is to become European.

    just me.
