WHEN THE EU HAS LOST ITS SHINE

There’s an old saying, repeat a lie often enough and people will begin to believe it. In the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday 20th December twenty so-called businessmen put their name to a blatant lie on the letters page of that confused publication – the lie being the age old chestnut that the jobs of 3 million people rely on Britain being in the EU.

Richard North, in his usual no-nonsense style, put paid to the lie on his EU Referendum blog and points out the many ways employment would improve if we made the logical decision to leave the EU. I would add, preferably before it collapses in total chaos, as it inevitably will.

The one good thing about such letters, with their lists of names, we will know who the traitors are and who to look for when the time comes for retribution.

None of these people bother to look at what their monstrous EU is actually doing and the harm it does, or they don’t want to look at reality. Sadly, for many, what harm the EU is doing is all too real and their jobs placed in jeopardy because of it. Look at the threat to the City of London the EU’s proposed Tobin Tax would do, jobs would be lost and trade that helps create 10 per cent of our national wealth eradicated – but these ignorant people can’t be bothered about that.

Then there is the REACH Directive, this vile and most dangerous EU creation is already reaching into every aspect of our lives. The REACH directive is the EU controlling the Chemical industry and even though those sitting on various EU committees deciding what chemicals should be banned in the EU don’t have a clue about the chemistry, they create utter havoc by banning essential chemicals on the say-so they are dangerous.

Because of this Rolls Royce have to ship their aero engine blade abroad to a non-EU nation to be painted in the specialised high temperature paints needed, then ship them all the way back for assembly into the aero engines they produce – all at great cost and inconvenience. Until the EU banned the chemicals used in this paint they were all done on site her in the UK. How long will it be before Rolls Royce comes to the conclusion it would be more cost effective doing the whole production and assembly out of the EU giving jobs to non-EU countries at the expense of UK jobs?

Currently the EU is in the process of banning the chemicals used in the production of Chromium plating, as there are no alternative products this will mean no country based anywhere in the EU will be able to produce chromium plated items – all production, and the jobs that go with it, will have to move out of the EU – how many jobs will that cost?

If, in about eighteen months to two years you suddenly notice a sharp increase in bracken taking over parks and other places, think of the EU’s REACH directive – it has banned the only effective products that have been used safely for many years to control bracken. The ban comes into force on the 1st January 2012 and all existing stocks have to be used within twelve months, anyone caught using these safe products after January 2013 can be prosecuted.

There are endless chemicals being used in all sorts of products, and the EU’s reach directive is banning hundreds of them. If some foods don’t taste as nice it will be because the EU as banned some of the ingredients, if certain products vanish, it will be because they can’t be made anymore because the vital ingredients are no longer available due to an EU ban – and if your job goes because you can’t make the products your company made due to a ban on the ingredients, think of those twenty names, all of which have a vested interest one way or another to keep the EU propped up, such as Lord Brittan’s big fat EU pension – your time will come when the EU has lost its chromium plated shine.
