Nailed, the four big EU lies: Talks with Turkey will start in days, Brexit WON'T spark trade war say Germans, Brussels will NOT reform on open borders and deportation of jobless EU migrants a myth Daily Mail










Four key claims made by the Remain camp were demolished last night in the final hours of the referendum battle.

As voters prepared to go to the polls in a knife-edge contest, Leave supporters said David Cameron's arguments on Turkey, trade, migration and welfare had fallen apart.

And in a final impassioned plea, Michael Gove declared today was 'D-Day' for current generations of Britons. He urged wavering voters not to flinch from regaining sovereignty from a Brussels machine that would leave their country poorer and less secure.

Polls make the contest neck and neck. 'It's 50:50,' said Professor John Curtice – the only analyst to have predicted last year's election result.

Making his final arguments for Britain to remain in the EU, the Prime Minister suffered a series of body blows from events and interventions beyond his control:
  • On Turkey, EU diplomats said talks on the country's membership will reopen next week;
  • On trade, Germany's top industrialist dismissed claims Brexit would spark a tariff war;
  • On migration, EU chief Jean-Claude Juncker ruled out more changes to free movement rules;
  • On welfare, Mr Cameron was accused of falsely claiming jobless migrants can be kicked out.

Sovereignty is democracy. The idea of democracy is that the people of that country are in control. That doesn't mean they get 100% control, because everything in life is a compromise and a negotiation, but at least in a democracy the people we elect get to make those compromises. In the EU it's done behind closed doors, in deals with big businesses by people that no-one ever elected."  Steve Hilton

Members of Parliament represent British Voters and therefore serve the will of the British people, if Members of Parliament think that we as British Voters serve their will and ambition,  it’s time they stood down and let those who are willing to serve their Country take their place,  if Parliament thinks that they can ignore and cast aside what us as British Voters have voted for it’s time for a General Election.

I'm voting for us, to leave the EU today, I have no problems with Europe or Europeans , but I live in Britain and am British, and therefore I don't live in a country called Europe and my nationality isn't European! I respect other people's views even when they disagree with me, but the European project started as a free trade association and is now a political union , with it's own laws, parliament, currency, flag, national anthem ,police, president and executive and now it's own military arm, that sounds like a country to me, if we vote to leave we simply get our country Great Britain back , the journey may be difficult, and we will face many challenges , but I believe that despite that, Great Britain will be great again outside the behemoth that is a country called Europe,

BREAKING: EU to hold talks with Turkey over Brussels membership NEXT WEEK, Daily Express



 

Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan, President of Turkey


 


Less than 48 hours before Thursday's historic EU referendum, it emerged EU members will meet with Ankara on June 30 to discuss a host of affairs including finance and budget.

It comes after the 28-nation bloc pledged to speed up Turkey’s membership talks as part of a controversial agreement to tackle the migrant crisis.

The latest announcement will fuel fears EU officials are trying to keep any visa deal with Turkey secret until after the historic referendum.

Turkey’s membership of the bloc has been a hot topic of the Brexit debate as critics press Mr Cameron on whether he would use Britain’s right to veto their entry or not.

Brexit supporters have said the UK faces the arrival of millions of Turks if it chose to stay in the EU.

However, the Prime Minister said there is no prospect of Turkey becoming a member anytime soon.

His comments came after audience member Michael Tindale asked Mr Cameron if he would “veto the accession of Turkey into the EU”.

1. A QUESTION OF SOVEREIGNTY

Leaving the EU would offer a chance to put the UK in charge of our own destiny and laws again — and restore our status as a sovereign nation.
According to the Commons Library, up to 60 per cent of regulations originate from the EU and the 28-member Commission in Brussels — none of whom were elected. Britain’s Commissioner, Lord (Jonathan) Hill, is a former lobbyist and Tory researcher who has never stood for elected office in his life. Nor had his predecessor, Cathy Ashton, a Labour appointee and Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament official.

2. STRIKING GLOBAL TRADE DEALS

We’d be free to negotiate our own trade deals — especially with the world’s emerging new economies.

Since we import £89 billion of goods more annually from other EU countries than we sell to them, the EU stands to lose more than Britain if it seeks to impose tariffs post-Brexit. We are a crucial export market for Germany, the EU’s most powerful country, which would be the post-Brexit deal-maker.

3. JOB MARKET THAT WOULD STILL EXIST

There are an estimated 3.3 million British jobs ‘linked’ to our membership of the EU. By the same measure, there are more than five million jobs on the Continent that are linked to trade with Britain. This includes one million jobs in Germany, 494,000 in France, 309,000 in Italy and 421,000 in Spain.

4. THE BILLIONS WE GIFT TO BRUSSELS
We pay far more into the EU budget than we get back — making a net contribution of around £8.5 billion last year (£23 million a day), which is more than we spend on the police service or border controls.
