WHY should Britain be in such financial straits? Why should the NHS have to cancel urgent treatments and refuse medications? Why should our industries have to close down? Why are so many of our schools dilapidated?

Is this anything to do with the fact that our politicians are sending £45 million daily to the profligate EU as our membership fee?

This is our money, meant to be used for the benefit of Britain and the British people. What benefit does this membership bring us? We no longer have control of our own country but have to obey orders.
