It is my favorite city. It pains me deeply to see what is unfolding. I have many friends in London and use to stop by Margaret Thatcher\u2019s home to say hello.\u00a0Of course,\u00a0the mainstream press will be backing the politicians who support staying in the EU. They join with the politicians to keep government intact. I am glad Maggie is not here to witness this. Britain receives no benefit from being inside the EU, yet gets all the garbage. This is exactly what Thatcher was against \u2014 the political union. Brussels has not been about an economic union; it is about a political union with central power.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron can claim it\u2019s the best of both worlds to stay in the EU, but Brussels demands the surrender of sovereignty behind closed doors. A little more than 15% of all laws in Britain come from Brussels (see:\u00a0study\u00a0of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/europpblog\/2012\/06\/13\/europeanization-of-public-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\">London School of Economics<\/a>).\u00a0Yes,\u00a0there are claims attributing that 84% of laws come from Brussels.\u00a0That\u00a0comes from a reply by Alfred Hartenbach Parliamentary Undersecretary of the German Parliament given on April 29, 2005, which was limited to Germany. He stated that from 1998 until 2004, some 18,187 EU regulations and 750 EU directives were adopted in Germany whereas the German Parliament passed, in total, only 1,195 laws (as well as 3,055 \u201cRechtsverordnungen\u201d \u2013 which are like Primary and Secondary legislation).<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BREXIT Reality or a Manipulated Outcome?\u00a0 COMMENT:\u00a0Dear Martin, London 23rd Feb, it is very sad, I cannot find one main stream news outlet that is backing a Brexit.
