Better Off Out

Another of those that originally campaigned for joining the EEC has now come
out in favour of leaving the EU.

In a statement, Lord Tebbit said: "From being a supporter of British
membership of the Common Market in 1970 I have come to believe that the
United Kingdom would be Better Off Out of the developing European Republic
of the 21st Century.

"We British have a thousand-year history of self government. We have been
free and democratic longer than any other nation.

"The European Union is too diverse, too bureaucratic, too corporatist and
too centralist to be a functioning democracy," he said.
