Busy day ... free movement of people fuse well and truly lit

Lunchtime slot on the Jon Gaunt Show on TalkSPORT as spokesman for the Speakout Campaign which may well be very soon the only Eurosceptic game in town.

The profile of the campaign was raised to the rafters after a series of 'A Migrant a Minute' ads were run in local, regional and national newspapers.

The consequences of treaty agreements and the free movement directive are that anyone from any one of the EU Member States can live, travel and work in any other Member State ... however, the practical consequences of this has never been thought out by a Government whose predictions were out by a factor of 50.

This blog has reported some of the consequences.

The blue touchpaper was lit today.

This is the straw that will break the EUs back.

There is massive political vacuum in this country ... and the three main parties continue to lie and obfuscate...and refuse to debate the issue.

It is likely that Speakout will fill the vacuum and ask the questions that the politicians will be forced to answer and expose what has been done in our name without ever having our consent.

How true. With the slow and ever more painful demise of UKIP it's non party groups like Speak Out, Democracy Movement and Better Off Out (Freedom Association & CIB) that are making all the running.

I'm mainly supporting the DM's campaign against the EU budget deal right now because the vote in Parliament it's focussing on is the most urgent chance for change. We've a couple of years til the next election to work on Speak Out's referendum demand.

Though I do have some reservations about Speak Out's focus on the whole EU migration thing. UKIP have been banging on about that for years and it hasn't got them much further in support. I think there are better, more widely appealing anti-EU arguments they would do better with. Ones that don't go confirming Blair's damaging slur that EU critics are just 'anti-foreigner'.

They'll get my support if they switch to an attack on the EU that's likely to be more productive.
