HE Daily Express is a crusading

ewspaper. We speak out or ouraders and or the people o Greatritain. We stand or air play,r reedom and or justice. Welieve that all these principles

re being progressively andynically undermined by theuropean Union.

rom the very start, and long beorethe planning, those behind the EU

ave been intent on one goal: theeation o a single political andonomic European state with

bsolute sovereignty over the

ations under its control. In pursuitthis end, the traditional rights

nd reedoms o the peoples ourope have been systematicallywept away with a ruthlessfciency that would have been the

nvy o Napoleon and Hitler.

t the heart o the EU lies anrrogant cadre o politicians andureaucrats who sco at democracy.ust look at the way that Ireland,ter frst rejecting the Lisbon

reaty, was humbled and orced toote again in avour. Just look at the

ay in which our laws have beenverturned time and time again byuropean judges, who are thedicial arm o the EU dictators.

dey anyone to produce one singlect or law o the EU and theuropean Court that has actuallynefted Britain. We have paid

ntold billions to support wine andilk lakes, butter and grainountains and an ever-swelling

ureaucracy that meddles with ouray-to-day lives on an increasinglyervasive scale. And still they want

ore.

ur own politicians patheticallysist that Britain is still andependent nation but they

ant ool us. The sensible,dinary people o this country

now the truth and have knownor decades. No wonder the

oliticians have repeatedly squirmedut o promises to hold anyerendum.

here is no point pretending that wean halt or even curb the EU

uperstate. I we dont pull out very

soon we shall wake up one day tofnd that we are completely underits iron thumb. Already the EU hasestablished its own oreign ministry,with costly embassies throughoutthe world, undermining our own

ambassadors. How long beore ourArmed Forces are completely underthe command o EU generals?

And how long beore Frankurtsupersedes Britains now dominant,

but progressively weakened,fnancial and economic hub? Thewriting is on the Stock Exchangewall. Britain certainly does not

beneft rom trading with other EUcountries: we have a e50billiontrade defcit. Germany, on the otherhand, has a e70billion surplus. Nowonder they are desperate to keep

the EU going.Ordinary people eel powerless asone by one our ancient reedomsare stolen away, reedoms or whichcountless thousands o ourorebears have ought and died.

Unlike the armed enemies we haveaced and deeated, the EU plotterswork secretly and insidiously.Instead o tanks and bombs, theyemploy a bewildering array orules and regulations, everyone o which is designed not toimprove our lives but to exert

greater control.

The British have no quarrel wour European neighbours.Thousands o us happily spendholidays with them and trade them and they cheerully induour clumsy attempts to speak

them in their own languages. Wfrmly believe that all the natiEurope, with their infnitely dicultures, would be better o outhe EU, restored to their proudtime-honoured ways o lie.

Today we call on all our readeto support our crusade to getBritain out o the European

Union. I you have not alreadysigned our coupon, do it now apass more o them to your riand relatives (see page 21). Thno point hoping that our politi

can stem the EU tide even i thwanted to. Its too late. But nocan stop this country rom leathe EU i we are determined e

And that is what we must do.

He said: In a move that will sendshock waves through the eurozone andhopeully our own Parliament, themajority o British people who took partin the poll have declared enough isenough and it is time we returned to thebusiness o trading with Europe insteado being swallowed by this relentlessly

ONE OF Britains greatestsporting heroes hasthrown his weight behindthe Daily Express crusadeor a reerendum toget Britain out o the

ropean Union. Fresh rommmentating on Englands Ashesccess in Australia, Sir Iantham said he supported the

usade 100 per cent.Sir Ian, now almost as wellown or his inspirational

oney-raising walks or charityd his broadcasting as or his skilla world-class cricketer, has alsooken out about the need oritain to stay out o the Europeangle currency.

Speaking rom Australia he said:support the Daily Expressmpaign or a reerendum 100 pernt. To me its a no-brainer. We

should be in charge o our owndestiny. Asked recently what hewould like to change about thenancial system, Sir Ian unleashedanother salvo against the EU.

I certainly wouldnt want to getany more embroiled in the euro, hesaid. We shouldnt be committingourselves as a country any morethan we already are. Its horses orcourses. Hal o Europe is bankruptand I dont want us to go downwith them. Were throwing goodmoney ater bad which bafes me.

The support o Sir Ian, 55, is amajor boost to our crusade as he isheld in such high public esteemand in his charity work hasdemonstrated time and again hisability to galvanise popularsupport. The England cricketinglegend is seen as embodyingtimeless British values o hard work

and air play. In a Test careerspanning 15 years he scored 14centuries and took 383 wickets.

The high point came in the 1981Ashes series when, ater steppingdown as team captain, he turnedthe series back in Englands avourwith stunning perormances in thelast three Tests. He was namedman o the series ater scoring 399runs and taking 34 wickets.

He has raised more than12million or charity withLeukaemia Research one o theprime beneciaries. Sir Ian wasknighted in 2007 in recognitionboth o his cricketing achievementsand remarkable eorts on behal ocharity. In 2004 he was presentedwith a lietime achievement awardat the BBC Sports Personality OThe Year, having won the individualaward in 1981.

nock and 277,000 in allowances.His wie earned 775,000 in her 15

years as a Euro-MP. She claimed the

controversial daily allowance, cur-rently worth 270, which is availableto MPs who sign a register in theEuropean Parliament.

Even though the Kinnocks shareda house in the Belgian capital theyboth were able to claim accommo-dation allowances. In their retire-ment, they beneft rom fve publiclyunded pensions worth an estimated4.4million and paying around

180,000 a year.Despite the huge sums, Lord Kin-

nocks decade in Brussels is bestknown or a ailed attempt to orceevery motorist in Europe to drivewith their headlights on in daylight.

Indulgence has not been confnedto Labour politicians. Former Toryministers Leon Brittan and ChrisPatten, now Lord Brittan and LordPatten, were both high-ying Cabi-net ministers who became EU com-missioners. Brittan had quit theCabinet in the row over Westlandhelicopters while Patten lost his seatat the 1992 general election.

I WOULD like to add mythanks to the Daily Expressor having the courage tospeak out over Britain andthe EU.

What a state o aairswhen its let up to a nationalnewspaper to do what isnecessary because our MPssimply dont possess thecourage to stand up or their

constituents.The sooner

we get out othe EU thebetter andI am sure themajority agreewith me.

In addition,I am appalledthat vemajortransers opower toBrussels havetaken placesince thecoalitionGovernmentcame topower in May.

Under theEU Bill theGovernmentwill not haveto hold areerendumon thetranser opower toBrussels iministersconsider thechanges asbeing notsignicant.

This isunacceptablegiven that theLabourgovernmentreneged ona promiseto give us areerendumon theLisbon Treaty.

Marie

GOOD work by the DailyExpress or launching yourcall or Britain to quit the EU.

Maybe now, at last, thepeople o this country canget the politicians to scrapour membership o thiscorrupt, inward-lookingorganisation that oers us nodiscernible benet and hasnever done so.

Let us ollow the example oNorway and Switzerland andinstead become only tradingpartners with Europe.

I believe this country wouldthen undergo a renaissance in

various areas, includingjustice, social cohesion andscal responsibility.

Davie Kerr,Lochaber, Scotland

IT is unbelievable thatBrussels bureaucrats arepouring billions o pounds o

tell me this is a joke. We areacing drastic cuts in ourcountry and many people arestruggling to survive.

When will David Cameronhave the courage to pull usout o Europe?

Ann Masters,

By email

WELL done to all at the DailyExpress or championing thecause o democracy andairness or the taxpayer with

your crusade to pull Britainout o the EU.

Investment in publicservices is hamstrung bypolitical correctness and allits attendant bureaucracyinficted upon long-sueringBritish taxpayers throughcontinued membership othe EU.

Freed o the deluge oregulations rom Brusselswe could prioritise spendingon healthcare, policing,

and do so ecientlyand economically.

We would regain ourright o sel-governance

BRILLIANT! At long last anational newspaper, theantastic Daily Express, iswilling to stand up andspeak out or the people othis country.

Maybe now those in powerwill sit up and take notice.

The money saved byquitting the EU would go along way towards helping our

own poor and needy, includingpensioners aced with theupsetting prospect o sellingtheir homes to get the help towhich they should be entitled.

THE baTTlE for briTaiT

HE Daily Express has becomeBritains leading and most earlesscampaigning newspaper, pursuinga whole series o crusades thathave attracted massive support inrecent years. More than a quarter

a million people signed up to ourmpaign against the cripplingheritance tax regime, leading to majorncessions rom the Government over theyment threshold.Way back in 2000 we also led the uproarainst Gordon Browns decision to upratee state pension by just 73p: the price o ag o peanuts. We called or a pensionersnner increase.

Again, more than 250,000 Daily Expressaders supported the cause and thelowing year the pension was raised by50 with measures put in place to ensureat never again could pensioners beort-changed to the degree they had been.This newspaper has shown it is preparedtackle whoever is in power in theerests o its readers.

Where other newspapers have tried totivate close riendships with leading

lights in the political class we have alwayssought to hold them to account ortheir actions.

Our crusade to take Britain out o theEU sets an objective that runs counter tothe policies o the leaderships o all threemain political parties.

None will fnd it convenient and allwill try to resist but polls have shownthat by a margin o almost two to one the

British public wants out o the EU.Amid the troubles o the euro and poor

economic perormance across the EUthis number seems likely to grow incoming years.

To judge by their letters and phone calls,readers o the Daily Express are alreadyoverwhelmingly o the view that Britainwould be Better O Out.

Ater careully investigating the matterwe have concluded that the readers are

correct and the political class is wrong. Theresponse to this, our greatest ever crusade,has been even bigger than to our crusadesover death duty and the state pension.We received well over 100,000 campaigncoupons in the frst month, with tens othousands more backers signing up online.

The objective o taking Britain out o theEU is the most ambitious this newspaperhas ever set or one o its crusades butwe believe the weight o public opinioncan be harnessed to orce all the mainparties to pledge a new reerendum onEU membership.

The extent o the surrender osovereignty since the 1975 reerendum on

the Common Market and the contortionsthe political class has gone through to keepthe issue o Europe out o successivegeneral elections means that democraticaccountability has been thwarted or morethan 35 years.

This has had a catastrophic impact upontrust in the political system.

When the 1975 reerendum occurredLabour leader Ed Miliband was just fveyears old, Prime Minister David Cameron

and his deputy Nick Clegg were bNobody under the age o 53 has evable to vote specifcally on Britainrelationship with the EU.

Beore the last general electioncalled or a new reerendum on EUmembership but since being madPM he has gone quiet on the matt

It is time that all the party leadmade to put their case on the EUthe British people.

I they are so confdent about thbenefts o continued EU memberthey should be able to persuade mmiddle-o-the-road voters during course o a reerendum campaign

Their unwillingness to oer onelead to the conclusion that they kcase or continued membership isthreadbare and that only those onthe EU gravy train are benefting.

With your help we believe this DExpress crusade can be every bit eective as its orerunners and seamous victory that helps to returBritish people power over their shnational destiny.
