Why then don’t they, do they not care, are they so satisfied with their lives that they accept anything that the Government tells them. Can they really not see that Britain as a part of a European Super State would mean the end of life as we have lived it for generations.

We must point out this simple fact.
That the combined direct and indirect costs of EU membership for Britain was over £114,000 a minute, in 2007 and it will rise exponentially in years ahead.

By the end of 2007 the UK had made contributions to the EU budget of almost £213.6 billion gross or £66.3 billion net, by 2013 this figure will have increased to £299.8 billion gross, or £102.2 billion net

Britain's accumulated trade deficit with the other EU member states since we joined has risen to £359.5 billion. Where it has to be asked is the trading benefit we are frequently told about.

Our 2007 membership of the European Union cost Britain £60.1 billion gross, or £50.6 billion net

That is the equivalent for every man, women and child in Britain of over £1,000 per year gross.

Gerard Batten MEP, the author of these calculations, challenged the Government in the following terms.
"If the Government believes that membership of the EU is beneficial to Britain and that we should remain a member, then let it commission an independent and impartial cost/benefit analysis so that the supposed benefits can be proved and the findings openly debated.
"If Gordon Brown thinks that the UK should be signed-up to the revived EU Constitution, then he should be open with the British people and present us with the full facts and figures relating to EU membership so that they can decide whether or not they want even more integration.”

Robert Oulds, Director of the Bruges Group, said: "The cost per minute is an enormous sum, over the course of a year the figure is shocking. To put it into perspective just £1 billion will pay for 222,000 hip replacements, or 46,893 nurses, or 38,782 teachers, or 34,585 police officers.

What then does the future hold for the peoples of Europe and more importantly the United Kingdom, with now almost 80% of our laws and regulation coming from an unelected Commission, which the EU Parliament has little control over, the future is far from bright.
