LETTER: Be brave on June 23 and vote ‘leave’

Before people vote either to leave or stay in the EU, here are some facts.

Five more countries are seeking membership of the EU and its rights to come to countries like ours.
They are as follows:

  • Albania (population) 2,831,700
  • Montenegro (621,000)
  • FYR Macedonia (2,085,500)
  • Serbia (7,164,000)
  • Turkey (77,696,000)

Given the ‘indisputable’ fact that we are already an overcrowded country, and that we have not the capacity to manage our own people’s ‘needs’, is it not common sense to leave the EU? And start to ‘invest’ our own money into out own country, and stop handing £55million a day to the bloated EU fat cats? Also giving vast sums of our taxpayers’ money to foreign aid projects ie space programmes etc.

This country needs to start looking after its own people first, and so for the sake of us all and future generations on June 23 do not make the same mistake of believing the lies that we were told by Harold Wilson’s government 40 years ago!

David Cameron is lying to us, just like Wilson did then.

We must, for a better and brighter future, take this chance to save our country. We will not get this chance again!

So be brave on June 23. Vote ‘leave’ and set this country free from the corrupt EU.
