STAGGERING FIGURES
THAT REVEAL WE'D
BE
BETTER OFF
OUT
[OF THE
COLLECTIVIST-GODLESS-UNACCOUNTABLE-UNDEMOCRAIC
EU
For most of us, taxes,
food and fuel are the biggest items in our budgets-and
in every one of these areas, we will be better off if we
withdraw from the EU. The strongest case for
VOTING TO LEAVE
is that it offers a
BETTER FUTURE
Not just a safer
and a more democratic future, where Britain's pride,
confidence and global links are restored. We'll also be
better off in then literal, financial sense and
HERE'S WHY
TAX BILLS WOULD BE
SLASHED
BRITAIN'S contribution
to the EU this year is
£19 BILLION
GROSS
This is equivalent to
the combined revenue in the UK of the
Vehicle Excise
(£5.9 billion)
Capital Gains Tax
(£5.4 billion)
Air Passenger Duty
(£3.2 billion
Inheritance Tax
(£3.9 billion )
Petroleum Tax (£1.2
billion )
Not having to
shell out this huge sum to Brussels would, for example,
allow the entire country to get a 71% rebate in council
tax (which raises £27.6 billion)
Or
WE COULD STOP HAVING TO CUT PUBLIC
SERVICES.
Between 2010 and 2015, our net
contribution to the EU (after deducting money returned
to or spent in this country) amounted to
£45.4 BILLION
This is considerably more than the
£35 billion by which government departments cut their
spending in the same period.

PART 2
YOUR FOOD WOULD BE CHEAPER.
Britain is unusual in the EU, being a
FOOD IMPORTER with relatively large and efficient farms.
We have always been penalised by the
COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY (CAP)
paying more into the system than other
states
and
GETTING LESS OUT
Before we joined the then EEC in 1973,
we imported food from outside Europe
CANADA-AUSTRALIA-NEW ZEALAND
Joining the CAP and so increasing our
DEPENDENCE
on
IMPORTS
from within Europe meant
FOOD PRICES ROSE SHARPLY
especially
MEAT
DAIRY PRODUCTS and CEREALS
LEAVING THE CAP
WOULD SEE OUR FOOD PRICES FALL BACK TOWARDS NON-EU
LEVELS AS TARIFFS AND QUUOTAS ARE DROPPED AND WE RETURN
TO GLOBAL TRADING.
Lower household bills would then act as a
stimulus to the entire economy.
Remainers insist that British
farmers would be in trouble without subsidies from EU.
BUT THIS ISN'T
TRUE
Our net annual
contribution to the
CAP
£5 BILLION
If we didn't
have to pay this to
BRUSSELS
It would be possible
not only to maintain the current level of support
British farmers get from EU, but to increase it
handsomely, while still making a substantial saving for
the nation.
Where I live, in
beautiful countryside on the Hampshire-Berkshire border,
upper class welfarism is surprisingly widespread.
The talk at
parties will often turn to, say how you get £30,000 a
year from the Government by installing a woodchip
boiler, which can then conveniently be used to heat your
swimming pool.
Because most alternative energy schemes
benefit people who own land, woods, and suitable sites
for wind farms, they end up becoming a form of
regressive taxation.
People on low and medium incomes pay
higher electricity bills to subsidise
LANDOWNERS
who in many cases,
then become part of the
POWERFUL AND
ARTICULATE PRO BRUSSELS LOBBY.
Not in every case, of
course, there are Eurosceptic landowners, just as there
are MEPS, who want
PUT THEMSELVES OUT OF WORK

PART 3
......AND
SO WOULD ENERGY PRICES
AS A RESULT of
EU POLICY,
we have some of the highest gas and electricity bills
in the World
Brussels drives up prices in two
ways-through settoing renewables targets and since 2010,
THROUGH DIRECT LEGISLATION.
AS a result, a medium-sized
business in the EU e.g.
ENGLAND
pays
20 PERCENT MORE FOR ENERGY THAN AN EQUIVALENT FIRM IN
CHINA
65 PER CENT MORE
THAN IN INDIA
AND
100 PER CENT
MORE THAN IN THE USA.
These
artificially high energy prices have already closed down
vast swathes of
BRITAIN'S STEEL INDUSTRY
and
now threaten to
cripple other
HIGH-ENERGY
MANUFACTURING SECTORS.
Uncompetitive energy prices, forced on us
by polices from
BRUSSELS
place British manufactures at a
disadvantage vis-a-vis their non-EU--competitor.
AS LONG AS
BRITISH BUSINESS ARE REGULATED FROM ABROAD, WE CANNOT
ENSURE THAT THEY OPERATE WITHIN A FRAMEWORK TAILORED TO
SUIT THEIR OWN NEEDS.
