Dear Editor
What a game it is when the antics of the Tories’ anti-European Union campaign, supported by the UKIP party, is designed to
manipulate public opinion. In the absence of any real information on the EU being readily available for the public, they feel confident of succeeding.
If you listen carefully you will find one main aim is to do away with the EU Social Policies; why? Is it because they wish to improve on them? if so that can be done right now. I suspect this is not their intention at all. Listed below are some of the EU Social Policies for member states:
Health Protection and Workplace Safety.
Equal Treatment for Men and Women.
Protection for Children, Older People and Disabled People.
Improved Working Conditions.
Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining.
Social Security Protection.
Fair Pay.
Promotion of Employment as High Priority.
Why are they then so keen to opt out? Do they disagree with any or all of these policies?
Be very aware of their call for our support in their campaign which if successful could inflict serious damage on our lives.
