SO the truth is out: the American President has revealed just how “special” our relationship is.

With a barely concealed threat, delivered with a smiling face, he put us all in our place. “Dare to oppose the USA and we will make you suffer.”

Behind this is something which both the USA and our EU masters desperately want to keep hidden from you. It’s the mysterious TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership). This is the USA’s three-stage economic plan to control the European continent right up to the borders of Russia, and then China in a bid to prevent them from becoming dominant forces.

It involves them providing investment, but with the most blatantly one-sided advantages. What’s most ominous is that it will mark the end of the NHS as we know it. They will have the power to dictate what happens in our health service, plus the power to sue us for billions if we dare to defy them.

Remain in the EU and this will happen, we are powerless to stop it.

TTIP is presently being finalised in total secrecy in the EU, and we have no say at all on what will be handed down for us to obey.
