EU time to wave it goodbye?

                                                The People’s Pledge

BBC partly funded by EU, wrote a recent blog commentator, on a Daniel Hannan Blog? That's a new one on me, I have to admit. But with an income approaching £3.5 Bn the Beeb should be able to move at warp speed to lead the TV world, if it was doing the things it was set up to achieve, instead trying to be the conscience of a left wing Utopian Society. But it's bogged down by all kinds of introspective claptrap, to the extent that it appears not to have any idea if it's coming or going.

Surely it’s time to put it out of its misery and compel it to compete in the real world, as a subscription channel without the compulsion. Then we'd really see how much of this £3.5Bn it could justify on the basis of rating figures.

Whatever, it's no kind of argument for being hamstrung by an EU which is dead set on dragging us down to their level. It's time to get out of this failed experiment that’s well past its sell by date. The only way is out, in much the same way as the best thing that came out of Scotland was the road to England. (circa 1707, the Act of Union).

We led the world by example and we can do so again by regaining our Independence. We have to stand on our own feet doing the things we do best, the four Fs - Farming, Fishing, Finance and Free Trade, where the only way is UP.

Bring on the IN or OUT referendum Dave,

You know it makes sense and watch this space, cos I'm watchin' you!

Tom.
