This is the very latest worrying EU move

The welfare state is meant to be a safety net. It wasn’t designed to be a lifestyle. The fact that there are people on benefits who have foreign holidays, iPhones & designer clothes shows that the system is broken. There are millions of working families who’d love that luxury!

They are also supported by some big business leaders (but by no means all), unelected Lords, academics, the establishment and the so-called elitist class who think they know best and ordinary people have no right to challenge them.

In June 2016, by a close but clear majority of 52%, 17.4million Britons voted in a binding referendum to leave the EU.

It was the biggest turnout in a poll for decades with countless thousands, who had not voted for years, seizing the opportunity to send a clear message to the government, establishment, BBC, EU and the world that they wanted control of their country and identity back and were not prepared to become a vassal state in the bureaucratic behemoth the EU had become.

For many of a certain age it was the opportunity to reject the deception of 1975 when it was sold as a Common Market with plans to integrate nations,both politically and economically, into a United States of Europe deliberately veiled from the public at large.

The British people wanted control of our borders and immigration, control of our sovereign Parliament,of our judiciary and laws,of our freedom to trade with the rest of the world and control of our money.

The economics of the decision were not paramount for if there was a price to pay for these freedoms(which has not happened despite Project Fear) then it was worth paying.

In a recent poll 75% said they wanted the government to get on with the negotiations. I suspect that if the referendum was to be re-run (which it will not)the Leave side would have a greater majority as the Remain’s arguments have proved unfounded.

This conspiracy, financed by Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros, who seek to overthrow the majority will of the British people are undemocratic, subversive, arrogant and treacherous.

They must not be allowed to prevail as, in my view, democracy in this country will be in grave danger. THE EU referendum result still divides the UK.

There are obviously arguments on both sides.

Sometimes, it is useful to attempt to disprove something rather than prove it. On this basis I would like to suggest that committed leavers study the arguments of Leavers as they appear in Feedback. The latest three (Feb. 16th) carry on the great tradition of confusing fact and opinion, reality and fantasy.

Nick Martineks’ letter is simply a mass of confusion: he mangles grammar and syntax as he attempts a crude form of satire. He does, however, offer a prediction: the EU will soon be the United States of Europe.

This I have to say rivals the prediction which asserts that the anti-Christ is about to appear.

Millions of words have been spoken and written about Brexit. I ask a simple question: Can he produce a single sentence from anyone in the political sphere who advocates the USE?

RJ Bray and Bill Armer, both committed leavers, argue the EU is responsible for denying British workers the right to build trains which will operate in the north of England.

But it was the British who made the decision to allow the trains to be built in Spain.

The unions complained, so maybe Bill Armer is correct when he argues they could have been built in England, but according to Richard Clinnick in ‘Rail’ magazine:

‘One of the principal reasons why the deal went to the Spanish company was that it was able to build such trains – in the UK, DMU’s (diesel multiple units) were no longer being built because the market for them had become non-existent.’

The writer goes on to say that because electrification was once thought to be the future the market would be ‘dominated by EMU’s’- (electrical multiple units).

Bill Armer ends his letter with a throw-away phrase: ‘Just saying.’

Here, I suggest, we face the problem: anyone can say anything they want and assume opinion is fact.

I assume Bray and Armer, like me, are not railway experts and not privy to decision-making at this level so we have to ask just why they jump to the conclusion that the EU is the root of all evil.
