We must free ourselves from Brussels

-

IT will be very demeaning to see our Government ministers possibly having to go to European leaders to gain permission to allow an extension in which to leave the EU club (made necessary by the rabble of disloyal and undemocrat­ic MPs), a club which, at the time of joining, the UK population was unaware of the ultimate cost.

My father (in 1917) and brothers (in 1944) fought in two world wars, both started by Germany, to prevent them dominating Europe.

It is ironic therefore, that Germany is now the strongest nation in Europe economical­ly, with power through Brussels to influence decisions which affect us and our borders.

They already control some of our best companies, have interest in our stock exchange and insurance, and now have two of the top food supermarke­t outlets in the UK (Lidl and

Aldi).

With our population and imports required to satisfy our needs, we should, if allowed by our undemocrat­ic MPs, have a strong hand when dealing with EU negotiator­s.

After all, the Germans will still want to sell us their expensive hi-tech cars, the French, millions of bottles of their expensive champagne and the Spanish will still welcome our holidaymak­ers with open arms. We will also still be able to import containers full of fake goods from China!

We must free ourselves from the controllin­g influence of Brussels, otherwise the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women in two wars will have been for nothing.

We won’t be Great Britain any more, just Little Old England.
