lets leave the EU

i think Britain should leave the EU. What benefit does this corrupt, money grabbing organisation bring to me and you? There must be something good out of the tens of billion it costs Britain? You and me, the taxpayer.
The European union currently has 27 member states and is populated by 500million citizens. The idea of the EU is as a central government that is able to make and enforce laws, enforce human rights regulations and influence and implement policy making across all member states. The EU also has a major say in trade deals with major world nations, quite often leading to more immigration. (recently agreed trade deal with India allowing EU countries access to lucrative Indian market but in return they send tens of thousands of IT workers, managers and engineers to us, havent we got British IT workers, managers or engineers good enough already? Even most of the government oppose it but have to agree because we are a member of the EU.
The signing of the Lisbon treaty in 2009 was the most recent and controversial change in recent years. You may remember we were promised a referendum on it but the labour government changed there mind when they seen the public disapproval to it, but signed up anyway opening us to more ludicrous laws and decision making by europe. The Lisbon treaty made the EU stronger and more powerful in law making and attempts to centralize all government so individual nations make less decisions and rely on the panel of unelected judges in the European court . It also made the European parliament more powerful. Also the EU now is more involved in foreign policy and security, often speaking on behalf of member states at UN and g8 meetings. In the treaty Britain did manage to secure an exclusion to our 'common law' being changed, direct involvement with some areas of our budget and our police force. But countries have less rights to veto or reject proposals and are often bound by decisions such as the recent uproar over prisoners being given the vote and the sex offenders law changes. The Lisbon treaty also appointed a long standing leader of the union, or The President of the European Council to give him his full title. Currently Belgian Herman van Rumpuy. He is paid € 298,459 a year,about £280,000 plus no doubt massive expenses, which is funded by taxpayers including me and you. He is responsible for planning and chairing monthly or quarterly meetings, reports back to the European parliament and often speaks on behalf of all EU citizens in foreign and economic affairs. Never heard of him, me neither. This is a former prime minister of the mighty Belgium but this guy was never actually elected by us, just given the job with the backing of the 27 nation leaders. all this for €300k (£280k) a year plus unlimited expenses! Plus flying off around the world discussing trade. How the hell does he cope with such a workload!?
The human rights act is also one of the biggest jokes ever and costs us millions a year, leads us to be unable to kick people, often convicted criminals out of our country and leads to daft and unnecessary regulation and bureaucracy. We should leave the EU and create a British bill of rights and citizenship. Of the acts and regulations enforced in the UK, the EU is responsible for 71% of the cost. £10billion in government buildings alone! Surveys have shown we wouldn't miss out or be any worse off in trade deals. Our military would be as strong if not stronger.
And of course we all know the EU allows freedom of movement for services, goods, finances and especially people. Meaning anyone from the 27 nations can live in any other country. As we know quite well in britain. No country can set a limit on the number of people immigrating. 500million citizens can freely move from country to country and seek work. Anyone can come and work in Britain within the EU. When the government says they want to cap immigration they as referring to Non EU countries. We cannot cap or stop polish, Slovakian, Romanian, Bulgarian, French, German or indeed any other EU national coming here working, not working, claiming benefits having more babies here than in there homeland, polish ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1366063/Polish-population-growing-faster-UK-Poland.html ) There are currently nearly 4 million legal migrants here including Non EU nationals and another 2million plus illegal immigrants mainly from the other side of the world with one aim. Soft touch Britain. I have said before i believe the UK to have a major problem with the numbers of immigrants here. Illegals from around the world could be deported no problems without the EU and human rights act. These people often pass through many safe countries who wont offer asylum or maybe just not quite the same benefits and protection from been sent home. Just think of how many countries an Afghan or a Zimbabwean passes through! The EU is changing the whole identity of its countries with its mass people shifting and disregard for traditions and customs often centuries old values lost because EU bureaucrats decide something without us having a say. It places a bigger strain on schools, the police, the NHS, councils, employment, housing and benefits. Jobs are few and far between as it is. I have nothing against the immigrants themselves, they are just seeking a better life for there family. Its the past and present governments that have changed this country forever. Our grandparents fought so we governed ourselves, and to stop a united Europe. Our leaders now give it away by stealth. I think its wrong that our communities are changing even more when we have not even worked out how to deal with the Islamic culture taking over and colonizing cities. And its well over 50 years since that mass immigration started. Why not at least ask us what we want?
We were never given a choice regards joining up to the EU, never given a choice on such massive spending, never given a choice of whether we wanted our communities changing forever with such levels of immigration and were not given a vote on the Lisbon treaty. I think we deserve to have a say. Let us vote on it. Especially in these times of cutting unnecessary waste. when we could save billions to use in our country, for our people and for our services. Isn't that why we pay our taxes. For us?
