We were promised a referendum on Europe.  I distinctly remember it as it was a key election promise but like all politicians, once into the heady corridors of power they simply ignore the plebiscite and treat us with contempt.

What makes me mad is that I never agreed to this.  I never agreed to handing over our Sovereign powers to an unelected cabal of power crazed Europeans in Brussels. I never agreed that we should turn over our fishing industry to their control and have it decimated to the point we cannot even fish off our own coasts now. I never agreed to idiotic proposals to close our power stations because they produce CO2 without having the faintest idea how we would replace the power they supply. I never agreed to reclassifying our steel plants as ‘CO2′ emitters and therefore having to close them as they are now too ‘dirty’. I never agreed to useless ugly windfarms going up all over our country and being paid for through my ever rising energy bills. And I never agreed to this damned flag permeating my daily life like a creeping plague.

So right now I am saying, give us our vote. We want the right to be consulted, as we should be in a democracy, and I want the things that my father fought for in World War II, that we have since surrendered, returned to us immediately.  We are a proud nation with a long history of fighting off oppressors, and now is the time for the silent majority to take up the rally cry and demand our vote, and rid our nation of the yoke of ‘Europe’.
