DESPITE not being in the eurozone, despite Labour losing the election and despite this country being bankrupt, Mr Darling has promised an additional £13 billion to the EU as our part in helping bail out Greece. Mr Cameron has neither done or said (at the time of writing) anything to prevent it and neither has Mr Clegg.
Proof, surely, (if any more were needed) that the true power running our nation is the EU and not Whitehall. Remember that Greece is just the first eurozone country to fall, Portugal, Italy and Spain will not be far behind.
How many more billions of pounds of our taxes will be spent helping them? If they require a similar sized ‘bail out’ it could run to over £52 billion or £122 billion this year if we include our EU payments. It is all money that should, and could, be spent here.
In a few months, possibly only weeks, we will have the opportunity to again choose a new government as hung parliaments rarely stand for much longer. I hope the voters will by then have realised that what we in UKIP have long been saying is true; the real choice facing the electorate is between the pro EU main parties and anti EU UKIP and that only by leaving this organisation can we hope to recover our wealth and thus being to repair ‘broken Britain’.
