Why I'm for 'Out'

The EU's inability to deal with the mess it has created with the inequity of nation state economies is appalling. Its complete failure to handle effectively asylum seekers and refugees to provide safe sanctuary is scandalous. I want my country to open its doors to those escaping war and torture. And if to do that we have to say to the rest of Europe, sorry but you can't migrate here for the time being - then so be it. While we're in the EU we can't do that.

We have a Europe that is meddling where it shouldn't, flexing its military muscles (reg. the EU exercise on Salisbury Plain recently), selling its soul to multinationals (TTIP) while at the same time failing on tests of basic humanity. It doesn't represent me in any way, shape or form and it doesn't represent a lot of those in the countries it purports to represent.

People have taken to the streets in frustration all over Europe in the past few years and they don't do so to applaud a superb EU government. It's too big; you can't standardise life to the extent that it wants to. The inevitable result of EU mismanagement will be, I'm afraid, social unrest. And none of us wants to see bloody revolutions again in Europe.

That's why I'm out. It's nothing to do with celebrities or politicians. It's my own observation, reading and investigation that have led me to this conclusion.
