Ah, so you think “British” interests are those of the 0.1%. Got it.

You have a say.

What you’re asking for is to steal democracy, and to hurt lots of people along the way. Your kind of radical minority populist screaming is not how you run a country.

Most of us don’t give a damn about your petty party political squabbles. Some of you like MacShane don’t even hide the fact that he’s obviously so far to the left he’s practically a communist. Lib Dems continually do their best to undermine our democracy and are quite happy to hand us over lock, stock and barrel to foreign rule and the Conservatives pretend their Eurosceptic, when they’re obviously not..

All that is really noticeable is the lack of public opinion that should be taken into consideration.

Between Labour/Libdems/Tories and the EU, YOU’VE KILLED OUR DEMOCRACY AND WE WANT IT BACK!

A succession of spineless Labour home secretaries all told us there was nothing they could do. Labour -it can’t be trusted to stand up for British interests.
