This is how Conservative MP Douglas Carswell describes Britain's membership of the EU: "Britain 'shackled to corpse' of EU".

Can't say I disagree with him.

The more the EU are in a power grab, the more vocal and anti-EU the average Briton is getting.

As part of the Lisbon treaty, Britain has many opt-outs where our Anglo-Saxon law is incompatible with Napoleonic French / EU law, these were given as a sop to the UK with the EU never expecting the opt out to be exercised. It looks like Theresa May may use these to apply a blanket veto to many new EU powers that start in 2014.

So the question that must be asked is that if we have left the EU in all but name, why are we paying a £50m membership fee every day?

Indeed. Nigel says it like it is. But did you notice see that female MEPs reaction when he said that Nato and the stationing of US troops in Europe had prevented conflict, not the EU?

Remember, the EU elite hate "Anglo Saxons" - that's both the UK the US.

Anglo Saxons also includes Germans.

Before WWI we had a very strong alliance with Germany and common inter-married royal families. Both countries were normally aligned against the French which was why France was more than happy with the outbreak of WWI and due to treaties to make us back them against the Germans to smash that alliance and then on victory to try a restore French hegemony. This was why the Treaty of Versailles along with other peace treaties broke up the Austro-Hungarian empire and create more small nations.
