The ¤ - WRONG THEN - WRONG NOW – the E.U.
Leading Big Business figures and politicians now claim the EU is vital to our
prosperity. But we remember when they all said joining the Euro was vital for
British prosperity. They are so EU-blinkered that we can’t trust their judgement.
Thank goodness we didn’t listen. What a disaster that would have been!
Lord Peter Mandelson
Lord Michael Heseltine
“Until we come off the fence over
joining the Euro . . . we will slip
backwards in Europe.”
FACT: since then our economy has
grown while theirs stagnated.
“Our non-membership of the Eurozone
is threatening great swathes of British
Industry.”
FACT: since then, unemployment in
Europe has soared.
Ken Clarke MP
Roland Rudd – Business for New
Europe, Chair of Finsbury Group
“The Euro has exposed the absurdity
of many anti-European scares . . .
public opinion is already changing as
people can see the success of the
new currency.”
“Business Leaders appreciate the
success of the Euro over its first
decade. It has defied the doomsayers
who predicted failure.”
Alex Salmond MP
Sir Martin Sorrell – CEO of WPP
“Scotland would successfully flourish
if the country cut its ties with sterling
and embraced the European single
currency.”
“If the Government rules out
membership of the Euro (it) would be
damaging for British-based business.”
FACT: since then UK businesses have
grown at a faster rate.
Sir Richard Branson
Nissan CEO - Carlos Ghosn
“We cannot be members of the single
market without being part of the
single currency.”
FACT: since then, our exports to the
rest of the World have expanded.
“Why do you want to take the
currency risk with the Pound if you
have the possiblity of being risk-free
in the Euro?”
Niall Fitzgerald - CEO Unilever
CBI president Sir Clive Thompson
“Britain will float away from being
a central part of Europe and lose
influence, investment, jobs and
economic growth.
“The majority of firms were very much
in support of joining the euro.”
FACT: There is no substance to such
statements – then, or now!
Thank goodness we ignored their poor
advice a decade ago! It’s time to leave
the EU and join the World

Labour LEAVE has been set up and funded by Labour Party supporters to
campaign to LEAVE the undemocratic EU. We recognise the Government
failed in the ‘re-negotiation’ talks in Brussels to demand any meaningful change.
So the UK’s interests are best served in focusing on growth areas outside the EU, rather than
ever-shrinking EU markets.
The Chilling Facts
• The UK gives Brussels £50m every day. £350m every week. £19bn every year. We
get less than half back, but Brussels stops us spending on OUR priorities for jobs in
manufacturing, energy, regeneration, agriculture or fisheries.
• The strong UK economy and a skilled workforce attract international companies to invest
here – not our membership of the EU. The world’s biggest car maker Toyota pledges to
stay in the UK after an EU exit.
• 5 million EU jobs depend on exporting to the UK - £62bn. Our EU trade deficit is £62bn but
we have a £27bn trade surplus with the rest of the world. The EU can’t afford a trade war.
• EU Agriculture is 1.6% of all EU output, and employs fewer than 5.5% of the population
but the Common Agricultural Policy swallows £43bn pa and 40% of the budget. It adds
£16 a week to each household’s food bill. (And it dumps food in Africa and impoverishes
farmers there.)
We want to take back control over agriculture and fishing.
• The UK’s security is best protected by us having our seat on the UN Security Council,
and remaining members of NATO, Interpol, OSCE and the OECD – not being tied to the
coat tails of Brussels.
• The EU supports tax-dodging mulitnationals – Luxembourg has become their tax haven
of choice, protected by the European Court.
• The EU threatens workers’ rights, promoting zero hours contracts and suspending free
collective bargaining.
• The EU’s free movement of Labour rules are exploiting UK workers, allowing
unscrupulous employers to import cheap labour.
• TTIP threatens the NHS, railways, food, environmental safety and banking regulations,
opening up public services to US corporations.
