THE worst thing Britain ever did was to enter into the European Union.

From that day on Britain no longer ruled the waves. Our justice system totally collapsed and we became a nation of do-gooders — or cowards.

We watch on TV our police working around the clock catching criminals red-handed and our weak and feeble justice system lets them go — how disheartening for our police. What annoys me most is that it’s not just the Robin Hoods on the street who get caught, it’s the devious collar and tie workers. All we hear is what bonuses bank managers should have. Answer — none at all. Shop floor lads will tell you bonuses are only made on achievements. I fail to see any achievements. So let’s sum it all up: Failure No 1 — banks, No 2 — pensions, No 3 — MPs and so on. I ask how are they continually avoiding prosecution and what loopholes have been left for them. I notice the Euro MPs are keeping a low profile on this, so heaven knows what they are claiming for.

All this has driven many Brits to other countries and many more are still following. People on the street can see this, yet our pillars of the community fail to look it in the face. It’s time our British people had a vote on the European Union with all the advantages and disadvantages in front of us, instead of just being herded into it like sheep, with no choice and knowing very little about it.
