Mev Brown nomination campaign

Knife crime. Frankly, our politicians simply don’t understand it.

The Jury Team was launch in March of this year with the goal of supporting independent candidates at the coming European elections on June 4th.

Candidates are nominated by members of the public and the closing date for nominations is April 24th. To nominate me as a candidate for the European elections: text Mevbro01 to 86837 before April 24th.

 

I have set up this website to “set out my stall” for nomination.

 

 

 

I will add to this website as the nomination process proceeds and, hopefully, into the election campaign itself – so please check the site for the latest.

 

For me, the big issues in Europe are our membership status and corruption.

 

Full membership of the EU costs £14billion and we get around £4bn back.

 

France, meanwhile, gets almost every penny of its membership costs back.

 

Many people will recall “Maggie’s millions” and the battle cry “it’s our money” in Brussels. However, few people recall Tony Blair surrendering the rebates.

 

And Europe has loved Labour ever since.

 

My position is Britain should “down grade” its full membership of the EU to that of EEA (European Economic Area) status. This gives Britain the access to markets which is so crucial to our economy and the freedom of movement.

 

The main advantage is we will save £billions in contributions to the EU.

 

A key advantage is that we would regain sovereignty of our waters which will give our fishing fleet a chance to renew after the years of Europe cutting fishing quotas. Something the main stream party’s have taken little interest in.

 

Another main advantage is that we will say goodbye to all the red tape and bureaucracy and the endless streams of legislation that flow from Brussels which our MP’s are obliged to rubber-stamp onto the UK statute book.

 

It will also mean an end to the UK funding the incredible levels of corruption that is endemic in the EU. Each year, in excess of £10bn “disappears into thin air”, and this has been going on for years. For the last 13 years, the EU auditors have refused to sign off the audited accounts because of this.

 

Is there a single politician in Europe cares about all this money disappearing?

 

Other than me?
