How easy it is to forget that if you surrender your financial control to the European countries, and political control by foreign bureaucrats, you have given away liberty and political freedoms that many died to sustain. Those of who have forgotten history will be forced to relive it the hard way. We have traded for years without surrendering political and monetary controls to others. Think long and hard before doing something that reduces democracy to a single European government. Yours, Aye. Dave ( staunch member of the Commonwealth group of nations)
