LTB 324/16 - EU Referendum Campaign

[GRS]

Who cares - sick of hearing about it. No-one knows whether the country will be better off or not whichever way it goes and all we've got is a load of childish people (who should be giving us a proper debate and clear idea) throwing insults and accusations at each other. Whatever will be will be.

Greenland — The first nation to leave the EU, now has higher standard of living than Britain, France or Germany.
Just a few months ago Iceland who were near to joining the EU pulled out and decided that the monster was not for them.
Iceland still has full control over its immigration, fishing and agriculture policies, free from EU rules.
It remains with Norway, Switzerland and Greenland out of the EU's demands and bullying.
A few years ago, the people of Greenland, a Danish protectorate decided they wanted out of the EU and voted such.
So how did they fare, did they lose unlimited amounts of jobs, became poor and intimidates by the Socialist EU?
No they did not and they are a prime example of what can happen when a nation leaves the EU.
Here is the argument that we should use when counter arguing the cries of massive job losses if Britain leaves. The scaremongers want to scare the life out of British workers with cries of financial ruin for many families thus keeping us under control.
When Greenland booted out the EU and freed themselves, they were able to release their companies from strict mountains of EU red tape.
The EU Common Fishery Policy was a weight around Greenland's neck. Since leaving the average income in Greenland is now higher than Britain, Germany or such in France.
Something the EU doesn't want you to know, nor Mr Cameron, a pro-EU luvvie.
Greenland’s politicians who had their sights on their people rather than the EU started to realised that the fisheries policy was destroying their fishing industry.
Similar to the destruction of Britain's fishing fleet it would seem.
Instead of obeying the EU and Commission in Brussels, they stood up against the prophets of doom and job loses on a monumental scale.
On January ,1985, it became independent of Brussels – the first country ever to do so.
Just like Greenland was Britain is held back in its competitiveness. Brussels churns out non stop red tape that is strangling companies that could expand and create more jobs in Britain.
Yet the very first country to leave the EU, Greenland, which by the way
still retains free trade with the EU, shows the British people should not listen to those who scare the voters with massive loses of jobs and companies packing up and leaving should we dump the EU.
We should not be scared and ignore the prophets of doom. Britain is the EU's third biggest area of export for European companies. There is no way the EU will put tariffs in place on British goods as punishment for leaving. We could do the same and create massive issues for the EU.
A Britain free from EU interference and red tape would be a beacon of industry and possibilities for EU based companies, who would release that they could be more competitive and profitable if they moved to a Britain free of EU meddling.
It is time to leave the EU and not be taken in by the scaremonger's lies.
A free Britain could once again enter into a Free Trade Agreement similar to what we joined in 1973 and not the EU.
A new zone that would contain, Norway, Iceland, Britain, Switzerland and Greenland would become the new powerhouse on the block and our competitiveness against the EU's would be massive.
If we go, then expect other EU nations to find its people desiring a say also.
Do we want Scandinavian style wealth or EU policies which allow dumbing down of wages? British families deserve better and leaving the EU will supply that creation of wealth and lifestyle

The Greenland question is a little complicated as they are part of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) of the EU , their citizens are EU Citizens because of their Danish Nationality and Greenland have signed up to at least 2 fisheries partnership agreements with the EU. Also their population is tiny compared to ours, but as a percentage of employment, fishing is a lot higher for them, than us. All of this would make any comparison between them and the UK problematic for remain, or for leave.
