Our future depends on the truth being known
ANDY Burnham rightly ‘wants the north to break from a Londoncentric Parliament and take control over its own destiny’; which precisely reinforces why we must escape EU central control.
Jeremy Corbyn has always known this, yet has obstructed Brexit at every turn to gain power and impose failed Marxist ideology. Many staunch Labour voters have seen through his hypocrisy and are concerned about his dangerous economic intentions.
In the 1930s, German poverty was far worse than our own today, but promises of utopia by dedicated socialist Adolf Hitler brought misery and death. Fortunately, levelheaded Britain was not seduced by such promises and chose to fight for freedom.
Obviously, Mr Corbyn is no Hitler and Germany isn’t threatening war, but lessons from that era should not be ignored.
After grasping independent autonomy, the UK will need investment across the whole country to flourish, not just London.
Since expensive interest payments on national debt have greatly reduced and present interest rates are low, borrowing to rejuvenate our economy is feasible; but not the madcap excess Labour proposes.
The Institute of International Finance has published research showing that after 2008, the European Central Bank adopted a policy of enforcing fiscal austerity by banning member governments from running deficits greater than 3 per cent of GDP; instigated by former German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble, nicknamed the ‘architect of austerity.
This caused great economic harm across Europe but Mr Corbyn never mentions this when condemning
British austerity. Neither are food banks a blight only on British society, since they proliferate across Europe.
Almost 3.5 million French people rely on food banks with 10 million tons of food wasted; costing €16bn per year.
Internet site ‘Germany’s hidden hunger’ also shows the degree of austerity in Germany and the increasing number of food banks, while unemployment and the wealth gap grows apace. Spain is similar, while the EU is trying to force Italy to keep its deficit below 1.8pc of GDP, even though the Italian economy has stalled at 0% growth
Truth is the biggest casualty of Brexit, yet the destiny of Britain and Europe depends on the truth being known! Bill Newham, Worsley
