AT SOME stage of our ever further advance into the EU, facing the prospect of a common currency, a common taxation system, a common army and south east England becoming part of a continental administration area, I asked one of the authors of ‘The Great Deception’, “What happened if we want to get out?”

“Ah, that’s the question,”

was the reply. I asked the question frequently as I thought it both important and urgent at this stage. No one could answer it.

I gather that Texas only joined the United States when it had ensured the right to secede should it so wish.

Did they ensure how they would do so?
