UK can never be free in European Union

Sir, - Forget all the scaremongering, we should keep our focus on the fact that this coming referendum is of the utmost of importance to each and every one of us.

If we vote to stay in the European Union then we will simply continue to amble along in exactly the same way as now, with of course, all the greater impositions that this organisation may decide to impose.

David Cameron’s sorties to the heart of the EU and the failures of these missions only proves his, and our, inability to alter the course of the EU in its drive towards imposing greater controls upon us, impinging upon our rights to self determination.

In essence, we are on the road to a loss of our sovereignty.

We should be aware that the EU is headed by a cabal of unelected politicians, who for the past 20 years or so has been unable to have its books audited, with, on the last count, £4.5 billion “lost.”

If we remain in this setup we will open the doors to uncontrollable mass immigration, legal impositions and burdensome red tape.

Britain, in my view, is seen merely as a cash cow for the EU and it is time to use our £16 billion levy for our own needs.

We should also remember the doomsters stating it would be to our cost if we didn’t join the Euro. Think what it would have been like if we had done so. David L Thomson. 24 Laurence Park, Kinglassie.
