HM Government mail shot re 'Brexit"

Not happy that that HM Gov has used my money, (and yours) to mail shot Pamphlet in support of remaining in the EU. I doubt they will show reasons why we might vote to leave. in my eyes that is misuse of taxpayer's money. Just to make one more comment; the document is badly drafted and full of misleading ,"facts".

Amanda I appreciate your comments but think about it carefully. As more countries join the EU, six are on the waiting list at the moment, our contributions to the EU will rise as we are a wealthy nation and our returns will reduce as these new countries will be judge to be in more need. Take a look at what Cllaude Juncker EU President said two days ago about the EU meddling toom much in people's lives. Also what Mr King ex governor of Bank of England Said today saying Osborners figures in latest 200 page document flawed. I'm not an expert but did study EU politic for two years at uni so I do understand how the system works.

Extremely annoyed that Govt used taxes to fund a total piece of rubbish, i am sending mine back too. Also my son put in on the loo roll holder and filmed it - that's what he thought of it - uploader to twitter. I studied EU Politic at uni back in 1997-1999 and decided then we needed to get out - and there were only 15 countries in then and it took years to get things done. i countries like Italy and France ingonore to rules anyway and do their own thing. It is bureaucracy gone mad at our expense. I object to regulation on vac cleaners etc. Kettles on toasters are next in pipeline but on hold because of our referendum. According to 'i' newspaper they are also trying to ban our weedkillers!
Underqualified medical staff can come here and get a job in NHS without proving qualification because under EU law we are not allowed to check them out. Not like they do in USA, they have to take exams again - and they tell us we should stay in EU - What Hypocrisy!

It went straight into the recycle bin in our house, because I did not agree with the funding.

I still fail to see the point of what used to be called the Common Market. This week I've bought loads of stuff from countries that are outside of the EU. Apparently most EU countries are buying steel from China leading to steel production ending on Teesside which couldn't be saved by the UK Government because of EU Rules.

American companies like MacDonalds, KFC, Starbucks etc can earn billions here and yet pay little or no tax.

European M P's earn loads of cash and claim massive expenses, but have little or no influence on decisions.

The Euro Court imposed Human Rights Laws upon us which have cost us dear, and the same court overrules decisions made by our own High Court.

In short. I don't need advice from a bunch of boys and girls who have decided that the best way to earn a good living without working is to study politics and how to persue self interest.

I'll leave you to guess which way I'll be voting in June!
