Hey, Eurocrats! – Get Thurrocked!



3 Votes

Despite Cast-Iron Cameron’s distaste for keeping his word on the Euro-Referendum he promised the British people, it looks like at least some UK citizens will get a chance to express their views on what democracy is all about.
Most of you will never have heard of Thurrock, which is part of Essex, in South East England. It has a tradition of common-sense working-class patriotism (both Thurrock AND Essex) and perhaps that’s why it’s been chosen to vote on the issue on April 5th.

A full by-election-style campaign, supervised by Electoral Reform Services Ltd and run by eurosceptic campaigning group the People’s Pledge, will seek to draw government attention to public concern over Europe.

Voters will be asked if they “should be given a national referendum on whether the UK remains a member of the European Union. Agree/disagree?”Ian Mckenzie, People’s Pledge director of communications, said: “Whether you want Britain to leave the EU or be part of an ever-closer union, you have the right to vote on what that future relationship should be. The People’s Pledge is giving the electors of Thurrock the chance to lead the way towards a national referendum.” The Enquirer 6th February

EUSSR Flag Thurrocked!

Splendid idea, and better still, the People’s Pledge intends to hold another ten such mini-referenda this year.for 2012, with a hundred more next year.

Having invented the noun ‘crimmigrant’ recently, may I be so bold as to suggest that a new verb be added to the dictionaries if this event comes to pass?

Let’s hope the anti-democrats at Westminster will be well and truly thurrocked on April 5th! .
