METHINKS that Martin Staples has been got at by an agent of ‘Project Fear’ regarding the EU referendum vote.

Where is his pride? Does he want to remain a slave to the unelected faceless bureaucrats, with their snouts in the financial trough, who tell us how to run our lives and so controlling us with no accountability whatsoever?

We have been ruled by this over-funded disaster for far too long now. Economies have been bankrupted. Who will be next?

We learn that there are over one million illegal immigrants in this country at the present time, however our hands are tied when it comes to the control of our own borders.

How helpless and hopeless we have become under a Brussels regime that has a track record of inefficiency and ineptitude.

Of course, everyone has a right to their opinion and like Martin Staples a lot of people will base their in/out decision on who they believe and who they respect.

That is their right, but surely all true patriots will want their country back.
