Eurosceptic ideals true to true pan-European history

<h1>This thing called the European Union and why Britain should leave it</h1> <p>My site is independent, but I refer you to the commonsense found in the official website of “UKIP” (slightly adjusted by me; my thanks to UKIP wisdom)</p> <h2>Ten reasons why Britain should leave the ‘EU’</h2> <ul> <li>To end the drain on the country’s finances</li> <li>To reintroduce the full authority of Westminster</li> <li>To impose British policies on Agriculture and Fisheries</li> <li>To capitalise on Britain’s individual national strengths</li> <li>The ‘euro’ depends on ‘political integration’ so far not achieved</li> <li>‘Protectionism’ is not free trade, it is inward-looking</li> <li>There never has been a ‘common agenda’ - we are now free</li> <li>Our legal system is not that of Napoleon: it has distinct merits</li> <li>We must control OUR armed forces and how they are used</li> <li>Continental ethos is mostly in a mess – we protect our future</li> </ul> <h2>‘EU sceptics’ protest that this ‘EU’</h2> <ul> <li>is a ‘Monster’ aiming at political integration</li> <li>is a fantastic VR machine ‘running itself’ via live Bureaucrats</li> <li>is an unprincipled, unaccountable ‘Gravy Train’ for those on it </li> <li>is in ‘governance’ basically supra-nationalist and undemocratic</li> <li>is controlled by a ‘board’ of unelected ‘Commissioners’</li> <li>is MEP-sheep like in ‘approving’ legislation (for 450 million!)</li> <li>is a mere production line of dire Directives and Regulations </li> <li>is incapable of inspiring ‘European’ competitiveness, not one jot</li> <li>is wrong for a free-Europe and for Britain</li> </ul> <h2>They (the Euro-philes) claim that the ‘EU’:</h2> <ul> <li>is working to re-unite ‘Europe’<br> this ‘EU’ cannot re-unite ‘Europe’ as Europe has never been united, except partially by force, in its existence</li> <li>is an association of freely co-operating ‘States’ The populaces, the electorates, of ‘Europe’ states have never heard true ‘EU elite political intentions’ nor allowed voting freedom until 2005</li> <li>is a democratically-controlled organisation<br> Commissioners are not ‘elected’, MEP's are predominantly ‘pro-EU sheep’ and directives and regulations have virtually no chance of being changed</li> <li>is a keeper of the peace in ‘Europe’<br> NATO kept the Cold War peace, not the EEC, the ‘Common Market’ nor the EU; nor has anything changed: the artificial ‘EU’ is impotent</li> <li>is actively working for its ‘good environment’<br> Protecting the ‘Environment’ – earth, water, air - encompasses climate change (obvious, but man-made?) and the EU ‘policies’ are hot air</li> <li>is a large free-trade area<br> It is a Customs Union, a common tariff structure with third countries, ensuring income is paid into a central EU fund; FTA allows ‘freedom’</li> <li>is unable to become a centralised ‘Super-state’<br> Behind the scenes, since well before 1957, political union – secretively! - Has been THE target, as economic union would always fail without it</li> </ul>
