Britain led the fight against slavery and brought democracy to much of the world. This spirit of freedom and independence continues today and Britain is a vibrant country that has much to contribute as an independent nation.
We believe that a fair society is based on respect for all of its citizens, wherever they, or their parents, were born. We are the race of Britons, skin colour or origin is unimportant, it is the heart of a free Briton, our belief in fairness, freedom and independence, that distinguishes us as British Citizens.
We believe in free speech, trial by jury and not by the state, a National Health Service free at the point of use, free education for children and Social Security as a protection from misfortune and illness.
Most importantly, we British must be self governing and allow others to do the same. We understand that the world might be a safer place if everyone believed the same things and were all part of a huge state but such a world would be a dull and stagnant place and, worse still, this desire to homogenize the world out of fear of the differences between us is a form of racism. We reject racism.
What does independence mean? It means creating a Nation that serves its own people and enhances its own lands. Britain must serve British citizens and protect our beautiful landscape.
How can we make a Britain that makes us proud to be British? First we must stem the tide of people that are swelling our population. As the Head of the NHS pointed out, a considerable part of the strain on the NHS is a result of population growth. Population growth is also undermining our education system because over a quarter of all children born today are children of migrants. You cannot be "Green" and also in favour of huge population growth that destroys the land and wild life. It is population growth that is depriving the young of housing. Simply making the number of immigrants equal the number of emigrants will stem most of the population growth and this still allows about half of the current total, about 300,000 immigrants, to settle here each year and any excess requirement for skilled labour can be accommodated by temporary work permits.
We must leave the European Union and return to a relationship with Europe that is more like the old EEC, a trading relationship, not a political union. Unless we leave the EU we cannot control our population growth. The EU is also damaging our country in other ways. At present our balance of payments deficit with the EU costs almost £100 billion a year. It is time to reduce this deficit. We trade at a surplus with non-EU countries and, by leaving the EU, will be able to trade at a surplus with Europe. Many of the jobs created in the UK go to EU migrants, it is time to ensure that these jobs go to British citizens and that the British have the training and the desire to take these jobs.
Most of the countries where the people are richest are small, independent countries. Britain does not need to be part of the EU to have a wealthy population.
Britain is a country that has saved the world from Napoleon, the Kaiser and Hitler and stood firm against the communist menace in the Cold War. We British are part of the hope of the world for freedom, democracy and progress. Don't throw your country away, be proud to be part of our British family. Make Britain a beacon of a balanced economy and fair society that others can follow.
