ADVOCATES of further European Control of our economy and Britain joining the Euro-zone, would have us believe that staying out of the Euro deters overseas investment into the UK.

The bare economic facts refute this.

This year alone foreign investment rose by 36 per cent,

This growth is not exceptional, but the norm over many years.

It is clear that the more the EU takes control of our politics and economy, then the stranglehold of regulations, cross subsidies, and hidden taxes will hold back our economy.

It is not a coincidence that unemployment rates are far higher on the Continent and have been over a significant period.

Britain should re-assert control over our economy and reverse the slide into becoming a mere province of the EU.
