Turkey – another reason to vote to leave

Simple choice coming. Either we vote to get control of our border back or we continue on as a province of the European Union — with the same amount of control over our border as Florida. Consider if the United States’ Government decided to allow Mexico to become the 51st state. Would Florida have any choice on which of the former Mexicans could enter into Florida? None whatsoever. There is absolutely no difference between the Mexico/Florida situation and the situation that would exist if Turkey became an EU Member State. No difference at all between the rights that would be given to the new Americans from Mexico by the US Constitution and the rights that would be given to the new EUers by the Treaty on European Union (which for all intents and purposes is a European Constitution — those who doubt that fact should compare the Articles in the rejected 2004 European Constitution with the virtually-identical Articles in the Lisbon Treaty that came into effect on 1 January 2009). There’s no doubt that Turkey will ultimately become a new Member State (read: province) of the European Union, despite current limited opposition from some of the EU provinces. Those Brits who don’t want massive numbers of Turkish citizens having a right to simply walk into the UK at some future time had best use their coming ‘last’ opportunity to change the UK back from EU province to sovereign self-governing country!

When the ‘little’ Europeans, those new members of former communist countries stand together and tell the UK that we cannot change the principle of free movement of people, that we cannot demand laws to prevent their migrant workers who’ve settled in the UK purely for financial gain and to attack our over generous benefits system from claiming UK rates of child benefit for their children resident in their home country, and then have the gall to say that the eu is stronger with the UK as a member, then it just makes my blood boil.
The eu is certainly ‘stronger’ with the UK as a member, and would be a very poor husk of its former self if we leave. We are one of the biggest net contributors into the eu’s coffers, and we have (now that majority voting is the rule) the smallest say. We have no choice in how our money is spent and, as has been shown many times in the past, wasted on a grand scale to rival Bernie Madoff’s US stock-market, ponzi scheme.
The former communist countries would do well to shut up their constant sniping about how their ex.pat citizens have a ‘right’ to claim benefits for not working (it’s supposed to be the free movement of ‘workers’, not ‘shirkers’) and to take child benefit money from the UK at UK rates when their own benefit rates are far, far lower. If we vote to leave because of their intransigence, because of the unelected pipsqueaks running the eu like they used to run their tiny former countries which could be as Arthur Bach from the film ‘Arthur’ once said ‘are so small, they recently had the whole country carpeted’.
Should we take directives from these ‘little Europeans’?
Should be bow to the might of Poland, Czech Republic, Macedonia, Slovakia, Romania, Latvia, just because they can gang up against the UK, a country which has poured billions into the coffers of these tinpot countries? These are impotent little countries if they were to stand on their own, and it’s only eu majority voting which gives them any ‘clout’ at all.
The eu is worse than the damned Eurovision song contest, and votes are cast just as shabbily, and with partisan backpatting and backstabbing!
The next big eu scandal which is just coming to light, is the eu workers ‘right’ to free treatment in our NHS for ailments they aren’t covered for in their home countries. That’s another billion pound scandal, just waiting until the NHS’s obfuscation is finally overcome, and the truth and true cost of all this is finally revealed.
Time to smell the coffee, and head for the exit.
We don’t need the eu, but they sure as hell need us!

I am beginning to think that Eastern European Countries want Brexit, so that they can leave in our slipstream The EU was fun when they were getting jobs exported to them, while sending us their unemployed, but I believe the gloss is wearing off.
Dundee saw the design and birth of ATM’s, manufactured by NCR. Poland’s accession to the EU witnessed Brussels build a factory for them which NCR moved into, while Tayside saw a huge influx of Polish unemployed looking for cheap jobs – after all Working and Child Tax Credits plus Child Benefit made it worth their while.
Now though, with the massive migration of people and the Troglodytes in Brussels telling them that their borders are none of their business, I believe that Turkey would be a bridge too far. A german Minister has admitted that if Brexit happens the EU will collapse, which makes some sense of the the Eastern Europeans behaviour in the Non Renegotiations.
