The Lanchester Review: Will There Be Much EU Left to Brexit From?

Loz Kaye doesn't really think so.

    The EU has quite deliberately engineered or at the very least fully exploited, each of these crises to increase its power.

    From the long-predicted eurozone crisis (which the EU used to impose an unelected government on Italy, brazenly override democracy to asset-strip Greece and force Britain to give an extra £850 million 'emergency bailout' to the eurozone)to the Muslim migration crisis that the EU has deliberately engineered-and has now used to call for a 'common EU asylum policy and compulsory redistribution of migrants' (in Jean-Claude Juncker's State of the EU address) the EU has used each and every crisis to further centralise power.

    The EU "never lets a crisis go to waste" as the saying goes.

    Once the Lisbon Treaty comes into full effect, we'll be almost fully run from abroad.

    In Wales, where a tenth of their exports come from steel, EU carbon regulations have just shut down sites in Llanwern, Newport, Trostre, Shotton, Ammanford, Pontardulais, Tafarnaubach and Caerphilly with the Port Talbot Steelworks the only remaining major integrated steelmaking plant.

    45,000 jobs are at stake and it's set to close.

    What has been crippling the Welsh steelworks and other heavy industry for years are increasing carbon taxes and energy costs, meaning they cannot compete on a level playing field with other plants around the world.

    The EU’s green agenda is largely responsible for this as well as the UK’s own Climate Change Act, authored by Ed Miliband, and backed by the entire Labour Party.

    If Tata were permitted to access ​100 million tones of coking coal in its backyard, it could drastically reduce the costs of operations, but that is blocked by the EU’s Large Combustion Plant Directive.

    As Nigel Farage said in his debate with pro-EU Welsh First Minister Carwyn Jones: “Perhaps even more sickening is that in the eleventh hour, as hardworking men and women go to bed every night unsure of what the next month will bring, the EU is preventing the UK government from doing anything to help due to stringent state aid rules, which expressly forbid the UK from giving a loan or even underwriting a financial package that could keep the plant afloat while a solution is found.""

    That's the state Britain is in.

    No wonder Wales is fertile ground for UKIP.

      I increasingly think that you are giving the EU too much credit.

    In Wales, the EU's carbon regulations-not to mention Ed Miliband's Climate Change Act-are destroying its heavy industry and closing its steelworks en masse, as they cannot compete with cheap global alternatives.

    Greenist carbon regulations pouring out of Brussels-particularly the Large Combustion Plant Directive-prevent Tata (the last sttelworks still open) from using local reserves of coking coal to reduce operational costs.

    And EU state-aid rules prevent the Government giving a loan or underwriting a financial aid package to our own industry.

    As a result, as Nigel Farage told Carwyn Jones on TV, Welsh industry-including the steel that accounts for 10% of its exports- is being destroyed before our eyes.

      We'll see which of UKIP and Labour gets more votes ad seats in the old steel belt of Wales.

      Sun Man's party becoming primarily Welsh? And secondary Scottish, if anything? Priceless. Absolutely priceless.

    As Nigel Farage said when he whipped Welsh First Minister and EU puppet Carwyn Jones in their debate.

    “Carwyn Jones has a duty to his electorate to defy the EU if he wants to save the steelworks in Port Talbot, and the livelihoods of thousands of men and women in Wales who depend upon it.

    “There are 4,500 jobs at risk as the plant is reportedly haemorrhaging £1m per week, with 12,000 jobs in the supply chain dependent on using the steel produced on site.

    Thousands of workers in Wales have been plunged into unemployment in the region in the last three months, while the First Minister continues to bang the drum for the European Union as it undermines Wales’ historic predominance in heavy manufacturing, particularly steel.

    Almost a tenth of Welsh exports comes from steel, an estimated £1.3bn per year, as well as the critical dependence of many related industries.

    Since 2007, therefore largely under the watch of Carwyn Jones, sites in Llanwern, Newport, Trostre, Shotton, Ammanford, Pontardulais, Tafarnaubach and Caerphilly have all shut down with the Port Talbot Steelworks the only remaining major integrated steelmaking plant.""

    Farage listed the EU 'carbon control' Directives that are killing Welsh industry, and the mass of cheap labour from the EU that is undercutting Welsh workers.

    The Left's global warming ideology-expressed in a mountain of EU regulations-is murdering Wales's No.1 export.

    Jones looked like the EU puppet that he is.

    24% of Sun readers are Labour voters-the majority of Labour voters read The Guardian and the Mirror, according to the stats.

      Someone did a survey to find that out? I want that job. Money for old rope.

    Few have noticed that the EU cannot and will not allow David Cameron to restrict British benrfits to British citizens (hence he has to scrap tax credits for low paid workers here as well, and treat our citizens the same as newcomers) because, while we're in the EU, there's no such thing as a "British citizen"

    At the airport returning home, after a 36-hour flight, I had to wait another two hours in an enormous queue at Border Control for anyone with an EU passport.

    Even though I was born here.

    There's no such thing as British citizenship while we are in the EU, which has always had the primary aim of abolishing nation states (hence its abolished all internal borders).

    All British patriots should remember that, when the referendum comes.
