THIS great country of ours has survived and won two great wars. We did it without any directives from Brussels, irrespective of what people say.

Good old common sense tells me that we will do okay without being in the EU.

The next directive coming from Brussels seems to be that we will all have to deal with nine separate bins for our rubbish. Not on your nelly for me at my age. I would rather spend the remainder of my days at leisure in one of Her Majesty’s hotels and let Brussels deal with my rubbish from there.

No prizes for guessing where my vote goes in the forthcoming referendum.
