EU admits opt outs are worthless

Senior European Union officials confirmed yesterday that Britain's "red line" opt-out from the European Charter of Fundamental Rights is not worth the paper it is written on.

Margot Wallström, the European Commission Vice-President, insisted that the charter will apply to huge swathes of British law, the 75 per cent or more that is derived from EU legislation.

Can we now have a referendum? Why aren’t the anti EU organisations organising protests? Where are they when we need them? They should be at the front of the queue doing their best to make sure we have a referendum by organising strikes and protests but they aren’t doing anything. They are just complaining about it. The time for complaining is over. It is time to do something.
