Mr Cameron went to Brussels asking for little and came back with less. He is lying if he says otherwise and should be viewed with contempt. The reporting of this episode by the biased BBC and especially the loathsome Kayta Adler was a disgrace and reason enough not to pay your license fee. 80% of FTSE 100 bosses and the CBI said they would back Cameron even before he got his "deal". In this podcast I explain why these suits do not speak for British business and why all folks on the left or right or those who believe in liberty, freedom & truth should tell Cameron where to stick it and vote for Brexit.

When we leave the EU (I hope it is when and not if) it will only be a matter of time before other countries follow. It may only be 1 or 2 at first, but as the EU becomes Germany and France and a load of poor countries who want to be in the EU for what they can take from it not give to it, Germany in particular will get fed up with paying for all the other countries – they are pretty close to that now with the Euro Zone, but it is not just about the failed experiment that is the Euro and it will only get worse.

Good stuff,Tom – why not email it to the ‘no’ campaign ?

Totally agree Tom can’t wait to get this vote done and hopefully UK out.

With the UK in surely its strongest-ever negotiating position with the EU, I agree that this patronising “agreement” is not good enough by a long chalk.
For once, I find myself agreeing with the newspaper I banned my ex-wife from reading:

A strong and patriotic British leader (like Thatcher) would never have endorsed this deal. But at least the British public, equivocal at best about the EU, will now take its chance to kick these foreign dictators into touch.
Hanging is Far Too Good for Them
Thanks for these comments. I believe that the FTSE100 companies make about 65% of their sales abroad. They are only British in the sense that they make use of London as a financial centre. Only a handful of large companies are totally British (e.g. Greggs).
My view is that the EU is a great destroyer of wealth. EU regulations and ridiculous H&S restrictions and other bureaucratic nonsense adds up to wealth destruction at the rate of 8000 euros per second (across the 440m so-called EU citizens). This is on top of the £54m pd that the British taxpayer is forced to hand over to these bandits.

Good to see you speaking out for the leavers Tom. I can sleep
easy now, confident that we will be staying in.

Filthy,
given who my grandfather was and my uncle is my euroscepticism is hardly surprising and not something that i have kept secret until now. I have been open in my views for years, shocked that as my No 1 stalker you missed this

I am voting for Brexit, I love each European country and its people but I hate Europe and its politicians including our own MEPs. I enjoy camping and staying in cheap but quirky hotels in Italy and France but over the past 20 years they have been fast dissapearing replaced by hovels based on the formula one hotel concept. Formula one was novel and interesting at first and suited my scrooge like tendencies but for me the novelty and convenience value has worn off as I realised its all part of the grand homogenisation plan hatched in Brussels which if left to run its course would eventually regulate the size of turds we are allowed to dump down the toilet. As for Camerons idea that we are safer in Europe, what a silly bastard he is expecting us to swallow that, the reality is the exact opposite.

I do not agree on everything with my grandfather and uncles. Start thinking for yourself Tom?
Who was your grandfather, you are obviously dying to tell me?

I can’t understand how Cameron has got this so badly wrong. Usually you would expect to hold a referendum for a major change you wanted to enact, to gain legitimacy for the action. But this is now the second referendum from Cameron where the desired outcome of the Government is to take no action.
To me that makes no sense. A Government does not need permission to take no action. It is like placing a bet where if you win you get your stake back. There is no upside and plenty of downside.
They have loaded Chekhov’s gun for a second time and good luck to them trying to convince the public not to pull the trigger.
