Get Brussels off our backs!

[baybizz]

Getting shot of Brussels is a sure way to cut red tape and strengthen UK economy...

Red tape and the cost of funding bailouts for countries such as Portugal and Greece mean Britain would be better off if it were out of the European Union, a leading broker has warned...

He believes that the 28-member bloc is a “drain on the economy” and wants out...

>>  Calls for Freedom of Movement rules to apply between the UK and Australia...
