David Cameron has excelled himself in the run up to the EU referendum, he claims the UK would lose jobs, suffer terrible economical consciences, pay more for food, products and services, lose our access to the European trade market, pay more and find it difficult to travel within the European Union and our security would be at a greater risk, well one word can describe these claims “lies”
Take a look at these so called claims
JOBS, FOOD, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Prime Minister claims the UK would lose thousands of jobs if we left the EU, and maybe so, but only because of the businesses that would suffer are the ones that employ low skilled, low paid economic migrants, who they pay less than the living wage and have no pension to contribute towards, it would force these businesses to pay the minimum wage and give its workers’ rights and safeguards that they previously have been excluded from. It is ironic that the business leaders who demand the country stay in the EU are the ones that are the main perpetrators of paying low wages for outrageous profits, these companies would either have to pay the increase in wages and provide proper conditions or decrease their workforce and still pay and provide the correct wages, either way it would benefit the UK by offering all workers a decent wage which would increase productivity and performance for its workers.
We must also disregard the claim that food, products and services would be more expensive if we left the EU, the fact is it would force the government to source within the UK many products and services it overlooked and outsourced worldwide in the name of profits, this would create an enormous amount of UK jobs, greater quality and extensively boost the UK economy, it would reignite our farming, manufacturing, fishing, energy, health, IT and food industries.
The UK would however increase job prosperity by having free trade agreements not just with European Union countries but with free trade agreements with other worldwide partners such as USA and China who provide more opportunities than Europe, but because of the current EU regulations and the way such contracts are allocated by the unelected bureaucrats and administrators in Brussels the UK has lost out on many lucrative contracts both within Europe and worldwide, that would stop if we leave the EU.
THE ECONOMY
David Cameron claims the UK would suffer terrible consciences if we left the EU, that is one of the biggest scaremongering and deceptions the Prime Minister has implied during his remain campaign, the fact is the UK would become even stronger if we left the EU, our bargaining power and trade negotiations would set us on the front foot in any agreement with Europe or the rest of the world, simply because without EU trade tariffs and the outrageous red tape that comes with being a member of an authoritarian group the UK can offer trade partners more flexibility and become more competitive than ever before, not just when dealing with European countries but throughout the world trade market.
The Prime Minister fails to recognise that the UK is a historical world trade power and still is, leaving the EU would make no difference to the UK trading with Europe or any other country, Europe need the UK far more than the UK need the EU, in fact the EU would have to trade with the UK to survive, we export more to the rest of the world than we do with the EU, another myth David Cameron would rather you didn’t know.
The other falsehood is that big businesses won’t find the UK attractive or will leave the UK if we decide to leave the EU, well Mr Cameron that’s utter rubbish, London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Cardiff, Newcastle, Leeds and Glasgow are major cities and attract major businesses and will continue to do so. The only ones who doubt the UK and its people are the Stronger IN campaign and the Prime Minister. It is disturbing to see the UK’s elected leader has no confidence or belief in the country, its businesses or its people.
IMMAGRATION, SECURITY AND TRAVEL
We are being told that if we don’t belong to the European Union we will be less safe, our national security will be non-effective and we will find it difficult and more expensive to travel, all of these claims are un verifiable, but what is fact is that it will be more difficult to enter the UK. Immigration is a choice not a right, we as a country should have a right to say no, unlike the current arrangements where there is free movement within the EU which in turn creates a free movement of terrorism, the Prime Minister claims if we leave the EU then our border will be moved back from Calais to Dover, that statement alone would thrust me towards voting to leave the EU, because we are an island, and to get to the UK they would have to be either strong swimmers or the running skills of a cheater to avoid a fast moving train, either way we can stop anyone coming in and if we do find illegal immigrants we can return them back at the point of entry, and financially fine the French for failure to protect our borders, if the French refuse to man the euro tunnel then we should refuse to accept the trains, if they refuse to man the ferry ports, we should refuse to accept them, this would not happen, the French would not let that happen, the French would be forced to deal with the migrants in their country and not pass the buck onto us.
Our security services are one of the best in the world, but it is obstructed by other EU countries who don’t share information or pass on intelligence, this would happen with or without the EU, if the co-operation was so good by being in the EU then London, Paris and Brussels would never have happened would it? The fact is if we are in charge of our own immigration and borders and have a visa system to enter the UK we are far more likely to be safer than with free movement.
I have spoken directly to airlines and major travel companies; all have stated that the price of an airline ticket or holiday should not change other than the increase that happens with inflation or an increase in fuel prices.
CONCLUSION
We live in a country that has no control over its borders, immigration, laws or trade agreements, the Prime Minister and the Stronger IN group would have you believing that we cannot leave the European Union as we will be plunged into chaos, financial depression and poverty, all of which are utter nonsense, I’m all for working together with any country on trade, security and immigration, these issues should be customary among fellow countries, not just in Europe but worldwide.
We should not be told how to live our lives or who we have to allow into the UK, we should not be paying to be in a club that takes and gives nothing relevant back, we should not be told what laws to pass in our own country, nor should we be told that we cannot let our own fisherman apply their trade in their own waters, we should not be dictated too on how we conduct trade with or give contracts too, we cannot be fooled into thinking we are part of an organisation that has the UK in its heart when in reality they are using us just as an addition income, we cannot continually be hoodwinked into thinking that we are listened too within the EU, we cannot be told that we should pay non UK citizens benefits, free health care or get free Housing at the cost of UK households, we have to stop EU citizens buying UK property and charging outrageous rents to UK citizens.
We as a nation have to say no and leave the EU and make Great Britain great again.
