Friday archive: My first ever speech in Parliament

I've dug through the archives today, and have found a copy of my first ever speech in Parliament. Almost 3 years in and still fighting to get you out.



14 September 2009

“Mr President, I do not accept the validity of this Parliament or any other EU institution to make laws for the United Kingdom.

My electors have sent me here to tell you that they do not want £45 million of their money every single day spent in the European Union. We want that money spent in the UK on our schools, on our hospitals and our infrastructure, not wasted on corruption with your accounts not being audited for 14 years.

Simply, I have this message from the people who elected me to the Commission: go back to your bureaucracy and prepare for the UK’s withdrawal from the corrupt and doomed mess that is the European Union”.
