AS ONE who is fed up with bosses and banks telling us what is good for us, I decided as a cash conscious Yorkshireman to see what the balance books look like.

Bosses are short term while they bank their money in off-shore accounts. Greedy banks got us into this mess back in 2008, if they did not see it coming before, why now?

They have not paid back the monies they were bailed out with in 2008.

We have paid into the EU £491 billion since 1973 and received back £321 billion, a shortfall of £170 billion. Where has it gone?

We will never know because this out of control EU has no end of year accounting.

We have a trade deficit of £5 billion per annum and it costs us £125 billion to implement their 2,500 directives each year.

Our fee to Brussels each week is £350 million and is going up after the referendum.

Britain’s deficit is only £74 billion per annum.

These figures show quite clearly we are being ripped off, enough monies to pay our deficit off and have NHS, new roads and rail, etc.

We need to look to the future of our children and their children. Their earnings are held down by the migrants who enter our country at will because of our lack of border control.

This is a once in a lifetime chance to get out and regain our country and sovereignty.
