To Leave or not to Leave, that is the question.

At the heart of the European Union theology are four key principles: the free movement of goods, services, capital and labour.  Where did they come from?   

Well, basically someone decided to make these up.  Like a modern day cult.  And they are now enshrined almost as a religious belief.  The EU’s prescription for salvation of the nations.  Which when you think about it for more than a few Nano seconds, it’s frankly absurd.  Laughable really when you think of what they have done to Greece.  Laughable because they force nations like Ireland to vote again because they voted “the wrong way”.   Laughable because none of the 150 nations outwith the EU have to agree to them if they want to trade with the EU.  And as we won't be in the EU so why are we even talking about them?

The moment it went from an economic community where goods could flow freely to become the European Union, a super State that makes laws, has its own currency, domestic, foreign policy, military, security and taxation, it was no longer a laughing matter.  That is effectively what happened when John Major signed the Maastricht treaty.   

So, as we approach yet another away day for the UK cabinet, we should be reminded of one thing.    

Given the EU’s stated position is there is no negotiation on the so called “four freedoms” of the EU, if they agree to Mrs Mays latest concessionary offering, we know we have lost.  We won’t be leaving.
