Letter: Reasons to take a stand and regain our true British identity
I would like to pose the following questions for anyone who is still undecided how to vote in the forthcoming referendum after the failure of Mr Cameron to negotiate stricter controls on immigration and welfare benefits for foreigners.
Do you want Great Britain to become little European Britain overnight at the stroke of ballot pencil?
Do you want to continue overloading our struggling hospitals, A&E departments, and doctors surgeries?
Do you want our police and legal system to continue being overwhelmed by foreign nationals, also causing enormous bills for interpreter services?
Do you want our schools to be overcrowded and having to cope with an ever increasing proportion of non English speaking students?
Do you want to compromise our security by handing control to some European force?
Do you want an ever increasing demand on our housing stock?
Do you want increasing congestion on our roads?
Do you want our crime rate to increase do to the high ratio of foreign criminals?
Do you want to forfeit our independence and freedom from a foreign domination fought for over centuries, and in two world wars at the expense of millions of brave men and women's lives?
Do you want to leave our borders open to the whole EU including criminals?
Finally do you wont to continue funding an organisation that squanders money and is unable to publish audited accounts?
Then vote to remain in the EU, and on your head be it to explain to future generations how our population was frightened by scare stories based on speculation and guesswork about possible financial short term loss.
If however you want Britain to remain great, be independent from foreign controls, and masters of our own destiny.
Then vote Brexit to leave the EU and don't be frightened by scare stories.
The UK gravy train to the EU must stop now. You will sleep easier with that knowledge!
D Emery, Marchamley
