Emily is the Saw-away-Sun's Whitehall Correspondent. She seems to think that being anti-EU means being anti Europe.
Being anti-EU is actually to be pro-Europe - or at least pro nation states having the ability to govern themselves and to be what their citizens want them to be, rather than some homogenous Germanic state. The diversity of the countries in Europe in terms of culture, music, history and food, is what makes it such a great place. This is under real and imminent threat from the harmonising, controlling, standard-setting and law-making EU.
Young people in Spain, Italy, Greece and many other countries have very little hope of employment or prosperity as a direct result of EU policies.
More than 50% of young Spanish people are unemployed with little prospect of improving themselves because Spain is tied to the Euro and cannot re-balance its economy (devalue its currency) in order to be more competitive on the world stage.
And whilst the EU imposes open borders so that known criminal gangs can cross the continent unhindered to where there are richer pickings and we can do nothing about it; EU trade tariffs are preventing African farmers from trading with Europe, effectively perpetuating the continued rape of Africa by the West. So remind me, whose policies are racist again?
And Mr Helmer wearing a hat which was made in Sweden makes him, by inference, a hypocrite?
Oh do fuck off.
Thanks for reading.
