We leave Europe at our peril

The Tory hatred of the European Union is reaching alarming levels and is infecting the rest of the UK. We have got to a point where we are now in grave danger of submitting to the hostile propaganda the right have been spewing out over the EU and leaving it. If we do that the UK is finished and the working people of this country will have no protection whatsoever against the creeping slavery that threatens them.

The only thing that has protected the few employment rights left in the UK is the EU. Make no mistake, the Tories are determined to remove all constraints on owners and managers and their ability to do exactly as they like in the pursuit of endless profit. Workers rights are top of their hit list. It was announced last week that they are preparing to scrap most of the UK's health and safety legislation so that workers will have no redress against employers callousness and disregard of their employees welfare. If someone gets killed at work, not a problem, there are plenty to take their place. In addition, we would be forfeiting membership of a trading partnership of some 500 million potential customers and growing. With the constant outsourcing of all services to foreign countries where employment rights and wages are minimal the Tories are destroying the employment prospects of millions of British people and there will be nothing you can do about it. The aftermath of this process is that the British will be prepared to take any job at any wage rate under any conditions. That is what is coming, and make no mistake it is a deliberate process, you are heading for a form of slavery.

For that reason alone, Scotland should vote for independence and English residents should mount a serious challenge to this madness. If they do not, then you heard it here first and you have no cause for complaint because you will be accepting your slavery.
