IN an astonishing admission the EU President has stated that the public were not told the whole truth about the Euro and it's impact on the wider EU community.

EU President Herman Van Rompuy has admitted that the Euro was a dangerous project from the beginning. Speaking on Tuesday, May 25, the former Belgian premier said: "Nobody ever told the proverbial man in the street that sharing a single currency was not just about making peoples' lives easier when doing business or travelling abroad, but also about being directly affected by economic developments in the neighbouring countries."

He added: "Today, people are discovering what a 'common destiny' in monetary matters means. They are discovering that the euro affects their pensions, savings, and jobs, their very daily life. It hurts."

This admission should incite the people of Swindon and the wider UK to demand that Cameron and Clegg give us a vote on our continued membership of the EU before it is too late. To wait much longer will drag Britain into the mire which has been created by a failed monetary and fiscal policy, which even though we are not subscribed to will bring us down.

Nigel Farage, UKIP's leader in the European Parliament, says Van Rompuy should apologise for the entire European Union disaster while he's making conciliatory noises about the Euro.

"The brazen admission that people were deceived by their political elite across the EU into accepting the Euro by the EU's so-called President Herman Van Rompuy doesn't even say half of it", said Mr Farage.

"The whole project of the European Union from conception to now has been one of constant and consistent deceit."

"Mr Van Rompuy has touched on a fact, but nobody will admit to the deeper truth. The EU does not and has never had the consent of the peoples of Europe. Why? Because its purpose has always been hidden."

So I call on Justin Tomlinson and Robert Buckland to do the right thing, go to their leaders and demand this referendum, or the Tories legacy will be to finish the demise of the UK whilst sitting on their hands.
