DURING Mr Cameron’s negotiations with the European Union can he: 1) Get permission to control our borders and stop thousands of immigrants pouring into Britain? No.
2) Get permission to rule our own country with British law taking precedence over EU law? No.
3) Get permission to reduce our EU daily contributions to hundreds of pounds not millions? No.
So why does he waste his time when the EU cannot ratify any reforms to the Lisbon Treaty before the referendum anyway?
Each day we remain in the EU costs us £55 million. For what?
The government must get a grip on things by using emergency powers to bring forward the referendum.
Then hopefully the British people will vote to leave the European Union asap.
