PRESS RELEASE: MEPS CALL FOR A NO VOTE TO IRISH AUSTERITY

Calls for Austerity are set to be strongly opposed by a delegation making its way to Ireland for the upcoming referendum.

A team organised by MEP’s Nikki Sinclaire, Mike Nattrass and Trevor Colman will spend a week heavily campaigning in Ireland to support the call for the people of Ireland to reject further cost cutting exercises to the country.

The referendum is due to be held on the 31^st May, and the people will be asked to decide whether they want to ratify a new fiscal treaty.

A large delegation will depart to Ireland on the week beginning 27^th May to distribute literature and campaign on the streets to spread the word of why a No vote would be beneficial for the country.

Nikki Sinclaire is no stranger to campaigning in Ireland, as she lent a hand campaigning for a no vote on the Lisbon Treaty.

After spending time in the Republic at the start of May, Nikki is confident that a no vote is what is needed for Ireland.

Nikki said of the treaty, “Austerity measures are draconian. Slashing public spending and increasing taxes will not get Ireland’s economy moving again”.

“The only people who can benefit from his treaty are those who are bondholders or who are bankers. Austerity does not work, and examples of this are beginning to show across Europe, for example in Greece. The people who I have spoken to are worried about the future jobs for young people and those who have very little being squeezed even further”.

“The people of Ireland were promised jobs with the Lisbon treaty, yet these jobs have not appeared. I hope that if the vote is indeed a no, then there is no further interference to get Ireland to vote in the ‘right’ way”.

Leaving the European Union - a new video

My good friend Trevor Colman MEP has produced a fantastic video, entitled "Time to Leave the EU" for his website www.Th-Eu-Nit.com.

The 18 minute film is the ideal tool to educate friends and family of the true horrors of the EU.

Against the background of a deepening crisis in the Eurozone and the fact that Britain is required to hand over increasingly larger sums of bail-out money, South West UKIP MEP Trevor Colman has produced a film which shows that Britain does not need to be involved in this political nightmare  at all.

The film which is based on the recently published book, "Time to Say No", has aroused interest among those in the Houses of Parliment. It was launched online last week.

Written by the respected researcher Ian Milne and published by Civitas, the book de-bunks many of the myths surrounding the need for British Membership of the European Union and describes how easy and beneficial it would be for Britain to withdraw. The film is the ideal tool to teach friends and family how we can really leave.

Trevor said,

"Much of what is in the film has either been hiden or never publically discussed, that is why in addition to the internet launch, I am also launching a dvd version for free distribution to thee public. The infomation in that film is that important, especially now"

Campaign for a Referendum Advert in Daily Mail

Pleased to be joined by another principled MEP

Mike Nattrass and I are delighted to be reunited with an old colleague this week in the form of Trevor Colman, UKIP MEP for the South West.

 

Like Mike and I, Trevor has rejected membership of a controversial political group in the parliament, and now sits alongside Mike and I as 'non-attached' members. This means that we can concentrate on doing the job we were elected to do, and campaign for Britain's withdrawal from the EU. Membership of any such group means compromising on our principles, and we are not prepared to do that. Trevor is a good and hard working campaigner, and I and my staff are looking forward to working alongside him.
