THE BBC has been showing the workings of the European Parliament. We need to get out of it asap. Hundreds of assorted bodies like battery hens pressing buttons with no debate, and this is the way 50 per cent of our laws are made?

Daft Dave Cameron thinks he can renegotiate a better deal. Dream on – there’s no chance, so we can look forward to a raft of deception, deceit and lies that will be sold to us as a better deal followed by no referendum. We’ll be well and truly screwed again.

Vote next month. It’s one of the few opportunities the ordinary people – how I hate that description of the real people of the UK – have to have a say. It’s time to administer a good thrashing to the establishment.
