CONTINUED EU membership “was too important” to be put to a public vote, says Tony Blair. Was he not the PM who took us to war using dubious intelligence, also recommending we gave up the pound in favour of the euro?

Originally the British public voted to join a common market, not a clandestine contrived political union conceived by those who have no regard for democracy but require money to bankroll their ambitions thus they willingly accept the billions paid out by the British treasury.

This enormous contribution administered on our behalf by unelected bureaucrats who themselves display utter contempt to anyone seeking transparency and accountability.
