In the European Union, faceless self-important, overpaid bureaucrats with useless college degrees make laws for nations they don’t even live in. For example, the United Kingdom, as members of the European Union, were only allowed to catch 20% of the fish in British territorial waters. This cost us tens of thousands of jobs in coastal communities. These bureaucrats who make these outrageous rules are unelected, and they cannot be removed.
The European Parliament meets in Brussels, but once a month, they load the contents of their offices and papers into large plastic containers, and load them into lorries, and they drive them nearly 650 miles to a French city named Strasbourg, and the parliament then sits there. This happens twelve times a year, from an organisation who claim that they want to reduce their level of carbon footprint. Their accounts have not been given a clean bill of health by the auditors for the last twenty years. Moving backwards and forwards between Brussels and Strasbourg costs €300 million every year. And this cannot be reformed, because that would require all 28 member governments to agree. The French are never going to agree to that, because it is in their economic interests for the EU traveling circus to go to Strasbourg every month. The institutions themselves are virtually incapable of reform.
I’ll be damned if I’m going to give up my rights as a British citizen so that some European bureaucrat can tell me how to live my own life. So it is no wonder that, on June the 23rd, 2016, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union.
