A FORMER Droitwich mayor and current town and district councillor says he feels Britain would be better off out of the EU.
Bob Brookes questioned the UK’s membership of the organisation and how much of a difference leaving would make, saying companies in Europe would be ‘cutting off their noses to spite their faces’ if they refused to trade with the country’s companies after a BREXIT.
He told The Standard: “Has anyone noticed there is no European ‘union’?
“The migrant crisis has clearly demonstrated there are plenty of unelected bureaucrats, but no real leadership within the EC to take action when needed.
“The situation rapidly degenerated to a mishmash of self interest by individual countries, whilst the ‘EC’ was more concerned about the type of oven gloves and vacuum cleaners we are allowed to use.”
He added if the country voted to remain, it would give the bureaucrats a mandate to continue to meddle more with Britons’ lives, whilst ignoring ‘real problems’ such as re-settled migrants arriving in Europe able to come and make use of an already overloaded NHS and claim benefits for children not residing in the UK.
“The self-interests of the 27 other member states will always outweigh our wishes so that there will never be a ‘reformed EU’.
“How much better if we in Britain were free to take firm decisive action when needed, controlling our hard-earned money, without masses of red tape to slow us down.
“I will be voting for independence so we can take our sovereignty back and control our future.”
