UK was 'sick man of Europe' Now we're racing ahead - we must LEAVE, says BORIS JOHNSON
ONCE Britain was known as the ‘sick man of Europe’. Now our nation is racing ahead economically and has no need of the failing European Union.
GBoris Johnson believes that Britain is poised for a new age of confidenceThe fundamental choice in this referendum is between people who believe our country is capable of running itself and people who want to outsource our future to unelected Brussels bureaucrats.
My view is that Britain is poised for a new age of confidence.
On June 23 we have the chance to take back control of our destiny and our place in the world. With control of our trade, our borders and our democracy we can prosper as never before. We are ready.
Our economy is the fifth biggest in the world and we do more of our trade beyond Europe than any other EU member state except Malta.
This country has always been at its greatest when we’ve looked outward, when we’ve steered a course for freedom and exploration – the great Elizabethan age, the Industrial Revolution, the spirit of Churchill.
That was not the Britain which joined the Common Market in 1973. Europe was streaking ahead. The bulldog had lost its bounce. It was the year of power cuts and butter coupons for pensioners.

Winston Churchill inspired the British to never accept defeatOn the day we joined they even managed to hoist the Union Jack upside down over Brussels, a signal for a ship in distress.
We should have been worried. Now Britain is back. Free of the euro, we have raced ahead of the continent and beyond it. Less than half our exports go to the EU and the share is falling.
Ignore the pessimists from Remain who tell us we have no alternative to this economic misery zone that has left half of all young Greeks jobless.
The EU is the global laggard, its economy growing more slowly than any continent except Antarctica. We could do even better if we shook off the remaining Brussels fetters.
The EU imposes uncontrolled migration from Europe. It stops us negotiating the free trade with the world that would bring new jobs and prosperity.
Its unelected officials crank out six in 10 of our laws. Then they charge us an eyewatering membership fee of £350million a week.
After the British people vote to leave and take back control, we will get back all that money to spend on our priorities such as the NHS and cutting VAT on energy bills for pensioners – which the EU, you won’t be surprised to know, forbids us from doing.
By taking back control of our borders we can finally get a grip on migration from Europe.
In 2015, 270,000 people came to Britain from the EU, that is like adding a city the size of Newcastle every year.
Reducing the number of migrants will make life easier for young people struggling to get on the housing ladder. Less immigration will help people on the lowest incomes the most.
They are the ones who are hit hardest when companies bring in cheap labour from Europe. The alternative, to stay in the EU, means having no chance of controlling numbers.
It is likely to get worse, with nearly 90 million people from Turkey and four Balkan countries being lined up for EU membership and free movement.
That will bring competition for jobs and pressures on hospitals, schools and housing that we can only guess at.
I’m pro immigration but it has to be controlled and it must be done with the consent of the British people.

Like many others, I was optimistic the Prime Minister would win a good deal in his renegotiation with Brussels.
Sadly, it wasn’t to be. If we stay, the EU will be after extra cash from us, not least to bail out the euro.
We beg to give them less, they demand we hand over more. It would baffle Oliver Twist. We should remain good friends and neighbours and carry on trading as before with our European friends.
But for Britain, the EU has had its chance and it has had its day.
The Remain camp will not get away with running Britain down by saying we can’t manage our own country.
I believe Britain will have the confidence to take back control and Vote Leave tomorrow.
The British people instinctively know that the awful, undemocratic, corrupt european union is not for them.
The only people that favour giving up their freedom are those in receipt of eu money.
The joke is that it's OUR money they're dishing out.
Mass immigration = More people = More pollution, overcrowded schools, hospitals and roads, country side built on to house newcomers (one new home every 12 minutes needed
just to house migrants), loss of sovereignty and unique way of life.
Vote LEAVE tomorrow and 'Let's Get Our Country and Our Self Respect Back'.
A LEAP IN THE DARK ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A leap in the dark with Boris Johnson could drop us in the Land of National Nightmares.
Just after the referendum in Scotland, when Scottish people decided to remain as part of the U.K and SNP was feeling the impact of defeat and was subdued, Boris Johnson muscled in with one of his jokes and the worst political speech of our times.
That was the time when we had to comfort nearly half of the Scottish voters who supported SNP and assure them that the right decision was made and that Scotland will have an honoured place and a major role to play within the U.K.
Boris Johnson boasted of throwing Salmond in the sea. I have a very large number of links in Scotland, all dedicated supporters of U.K, and every single one of them felt insulted, humiliated and left wondering if this was the shape of things to come from London.
It was so undiplomatic, so uncaring and so alien to the British character that the support for the SNP surged dramatically ahead.
Boris Johnson managed to do all this within a few minutes of diatribe.
Th ethought of this man replacing a great Prime Minister like David Cameron is not just cringe making, its sick making.
Our Last Chance To Be Free
We joined the common market through an orchestrated and well planned operation based on the deceitful and dishonest promises of Edward Heath. The same methods of deceit,dishonesty and manipulation are now being employed by Cameron and his loyal traitors, frightening and pushing us even deeper into a federal European United States where we will no longer have any control of our destiny.
Anyone with a minimum knowledge of the workings of the EU can clearly see what is coming, and the lies and the hidden agenda will quickly be revealed should the honest people of this nation be duped into voting to stay.
The treacherous politicians with their international corporate giants,backed by powerful lobbies will continue to act, impoverishing and ignoring the working class,increasing difficulties and complications for small and medium sized companies, while at the same time confiscating our democratic rights through stealth and manipulation.
While both sides fight over aspects of immigration and the economy, the most important and fundamental question is sovereignty - without sovereignty you have absolutely no control or decision on any of these subjects, or in fact any other subject that will impact on our lives.
Sovereignty is the equivalent of your soul, it is the soul of our nation and not be given away under any circumstances. No group or person whoever they may be have the legitimate authority to take way or offer the sovereignty of our nation to foreign powers or organisations.
It is not important whether you like or dislike the personalities leading the campaign to leave the EU, what is important is that they, and only they, have proudly taken on the most noble cause of battling to retrieve the full power of our sovereignty that has been eroded,chipped and given away through successive governments to the unelected and unaccountable eurocrats -all this with no thought for you, your children or future generations.
Historically Great Britain as an independent nation has been dynamic, innovative and resourceful and openly connected with the world for trade, humanitarian aid and social well being. These are still the characteristics of our nation and tomorrow once free, we can with collective enthusiasm go out and conquer the world.
Let us not be a diluted unidentifiable entity controlled by a faceless overwhelming undemocratic power determined to erase our identity and all that we value for the sake of a group of egocentric dictators in Brussels striving to create a European superstate at any cost.
Reflect profoundly before you vote tomorrow,it is the most important day of not only your life, but the whole of Great Britain – and please I beg you, don’t give away the soul ofour nation.
Be proud and VOTE LEAVE.
I wonder if Mr Cameron has ever considered that by accusing the leading Brexiters of wanting to take the UK into a foreseeable catastrophe he is accusing them of treason.
Living in France , I would like to share with you a few facts based on a 20 year daily experience of living under EU law.
The EU unelected commission , its executive head , has imposed drastic work regulations : less coverage for even permanent long-term contract workers , lower wages , greater precarity . We had to regularly put up with such reforms in the last 10 years imposed by our national government at EU request without any democratic debate or referendum.
I I could go 20 years back and still be given the opportunity to express an opinion on the matter , I wouldn't hesitate to LEAVE while I still can .
we were not clearly informed then by our politics about what EU membership would entail so voted REMAIN convinced economy would benefit and everyone in consequence.
From what I've read and heard in British medias , you seem pretty much to be in the same ordeal.
Leaving the EU would not affect trade or tourism.If it affects it , it would be to the advantage of UK citizens paying lower prices abroad with a stronger economy.
What is at stake is not economic but DEMOCRATIC , about the citizens' rights to choose for themselves regarding work , health or education .
these last two key public services regularly come under attack when they should be protected under EU legislation.
So tread carefully!!!
When will you have another opportunity to stand for your rights?
WELL DID THAT WORK FOR YOU ....Just an out and out scam.
TORIES LIBTARDS AND LABOUR will stop at nothing at fraudulently forcing this eu cesspit on us.
Post BREXIT we need a commission made up of brexiteers of all political persuasions to ACTUALLY get us out.
I guarantee you if you vote BORIS in and Tories they will do a u turn and screw us again
They CANNOT BE TRUSTED
UKIP and TRUMP RULES!!!!
