Cameron Quietly Gives Yet More Power Away to the EU

The coalition are quietly and without consulting anyone, pushing through more powers to the EU to take control of our finances, which in the end, will result in Europe being able to tax us directly.  Tory MP’s were apparently very angry that  plans for an EU annual “growth survey” were approved yesterday in the absence of a Commons debate.  The Un-elected EU President, Herman van Rompuy, has passed a motion that obliges the Treasury to give statistics to Brussels, including details of the UK Budget.  Critics say that the move paves the way for Eurocrats to impose crippling taxes on the UK taxpayers. UKIP leader Nigel Farage said “It is time that David Cameron stopped governing by deceit.  This shows us that he is secretly giving away more and more of our ability to govern ourselves.”

UKIP MEP Discloses How Much The UK Pays To The EU Each Day - And It's Scandalous!

A few days ago I wrote about how much the UK pays just to belong to the EU, and I stated that I would try to find out more about the actual sums involved and what we get out of it.  Well, today in the Daily Express, Gerard Batten who is a UKIP MEP for London has given us just such information.  He states that since he became an MEP in 2004, he has tried to unravel just how much the EU costs Britain and what the benefits are, if any.  The outcome is truly horrendous, we pay £77 billion a year, costing each and every one of us, men, women and children, £1,246. Direct and indirect payments, minus the UK rebate are £147,000 per minute!!!.   In 2000-2006 our net contribution was £21.3 billion, whilst the current budget, ending in 2013 will probably cost the British taxpayer around £42 billion.  Mr Batten’s findings showed that in the budget to 2006, £80 billion was handed over to the EU and we received just under £59 billion in rebate.  The UK was the largest net contributor after Germany.  Mr Batten says in the Daily Express “Much of this money is wasted with little accountability and little say for the taxpayers.”  In the same article a European Commission spokeswoman said “The UK contributes to the EU budget, like any other member state.  But it equally enjoys the benefit of EU membership, most of which are difficult to quantify in cash.  There are things like living in peace, security and democracy in the largest single market of the world, with many cross-border benefits when travelling, studying, using mobile phones, etc.”  (Democracy? The European Commission, the people in charge of the policy-making cannot be voted in or out by the people of the member states!).  In other words, uncontrolled immigration, the chance to trade and nothing else.  However, the article by Mr Batten also reveals that since 1973, Britain has accumulated a massive £438 billion trade deficit with the EU countries.  In spite of belonging to the EU, we sell mostly to the US and the English speaking world.  EU countries sell more to the UK than we sell to them.  He states “If we left the EU tomorrow, they would still continue to trade with us.”  Mr Batten challenges the coalition to prove that being a member of the EU is beneficial to the UK by commissioning an independent cost-benefit analysis.  I don’t think we should hold our breaths on whether they will take up the challenge, do you!

Britain Pays £48,000,000 Each and Every Day to the EU

The demonstrations that went on in London yesterday were basically about the cutbacks being made by the Coalition Government and feelings are running high in Britain about the pain being inflicted on people who will lose jobs or have their wages frozen or scaled back.  Understandable the Coalition has the biggest problem any government could have taken on, especially with Labour's  legacy of spend, spend, spend.  On leaving office Labour left the final insult, a note declaring there was no money left in the kitty.  It's been with amazing arrogance that Labour politicians appear publicly at the present time (usually on the BBC) denying their involvement in bringing this country to its knees.  Although most people accept Britain's deficit and know that the Coalition are trying to get us back into shape, what they don't publicise, as Labour never did, is how much we give to the European Union each and every day;  £48,000,000 a day just to be a member, yes FORTY-EIGHT-MILLION A DAY!! and rising! (If my figure is a conservative one I would appreciate your comments, my aim is to pinpoint all the money actually handed over to Europe without us getting anything back.)   We have also had to contribute to the countries who joined the Euro and have gone under, like Ireland and Greece (and now Portugal and possibly Spain next).  We aren't even in the Euro, yet we still have to shore up these ailing countries, and thanks to Alistair Darling, we are committed to this until 2013 (The then Chancellor, Darling hurriedly signed a contract with Europe tying us into this as a parting shot before he left office).  We've paid approximately 6 billion to Ireland already and this is a similar amount that Cameron is planning to claw back by the cut backs in Britain.

The present government continues to give billions of pounds away each year in foreign aid and they have no plans to reduce this amount.  China, unlike Britain, do not give aid to Africa, they are investing in Africa instead, opening up mines, building cities and railways, even bringing their own people in to use as a workforce instead of using the local population, yet we go on pumping money into Africa without knowing exactly what this British tax payer's money is being spent on. 

There is only one party who will save us from Europe and the EU's gradual take-over of all our finances and laws and that's UKIP (The United Kingdom Independent Party).  I will be bringing you a brief outline of their manifesto to show you that they aren't a one agenda party, they care about the British population and they care about keeping our sovereignty.  British tax-payers should be respected and their contributions should be properly and openly used, putting Britain and the British people first.

The Dangers of Full EU Control Over Britain

Back in 1975 when the British people were given a referendum to join the Common Market  (European Union), the purpose sold to the public at the time was that, by joining the EU, we could trade and move about more easily in the jobs markets with our fellow member states.  Of course, there had been no mention that our great nation's freedoms would gradually be eroded away by the EU and with the help of our very own political parties who were in office from those first days right up to the present day.  More and more power has been given to the EU by each consecutive government and we are now in the position that we are being ruled by people in Brussels who we cannot vote in or out.  We are left with a manager government who jump every time the EU tells them to,  as they quietly but surely work to dissolve the UK as a country.

There are many well informed people in Britain who realise just exactly what is happening.  People are getting angrier and angrier as we spiral towards losing our sovereignty. Plus they see the government selling off many of our assets to foreign companies, whilst using mass Immigration, Political Correctness, Human Rights and Climate Change inaccuracies as a means of control over law abiding citizens.  I wanted to start this blog, to explain, in plain English, exactly what is happening and bring to light every little aspect of the changes being made to our lives by these faceless people of the EU.  They plan to remove our democracy with the blessings of the Conservatives, The Liberal Democrats and the Labour Party.  I also want ordinary people, who are not generally interested in politics, to realise just what the future holds.  If we do not act now to leave this EU monster state, then we will no longer have a sovereignty or a democracy or a country come to that, we will be nothing more than a region in Europe and a means of cheap labour for the fat cats who will rule us.  Leaving won't stop us trading with the other EU members and remaining on good terms with them, but it will secure our future as a free democratic nation.
