SHOULD one need a reason for our withdrawal from the EU, here are a few which might interest your readers.

1) At present we are contributing some £46 million a day and we are being asked by the EU dictators to increase our payment even more.

2) £4.5 million was spent on a fleet of cars for Strasburg MEPs that was just for 2009.

3) A zoo in Hanover, Germany was given £6 million to import wolves, caribou and other animals to recreate the Yukon.

4) £6.5 million on a PR campaign to promote EU funding in Andalucia.

5) £10.3 million on a recycling plant in Spain (now under investigation).

I cannot see any of the present political parties or leaders doing anything to extract us from this un-elected organisation. They seem content to give up our independence. I feel for the future generation of our country.
