I AM of the opinion, re the EU, that if the British are credited with enough intelligence to be allowed an in-out referendum, I would vote to get out.

I want to get rid of the European rings from our noses and go and do what we are more than capable of and that is to fend for and look after ourselves.

The pro-Europeans tell us that if we pulled out, thousands of jobs and business would be lost.

Get real. British goods are still some of the finest in the world and would be still sought after from other European countries.

So, if the chance comes, let’s rid ourselves of the burden of having to pay billions year after year to a faceless body of people who want to change the laws of our land while looking through rose-coloured glasses.
