Why the EU is part of problem
YOUR resident Euro-loving correspondent Eric Goodyer seems to be relishing the thought of more countries joining the ever-expanding EU.
He seems to think Turkey is part of Europe, when most of it is in Asia. Also when I last looked on the map Georgia was in Asia as well.
The possibility of even more countries joining this corrupt organisation would open up our non-existent borders to even more people. The man is clearly a dreamer if he thinks this will "bridge the gap between Europe and the Islamic world".
Doesn't he think we have enough people in this country already?
The EU will drag this country down eventually and none of the main parties will be able to stop it because they are part of the problem.

“"Beak's lost, the plot" or should we just call you Eric Goodyer? Is that really your argument? What would happen on the vote on the euro? What would have happened on a vote on Lisbon? What would happen on a vote on further integration?
We all know, shame you don't.”

“"All opinions polls point to a euro-sceptic population Mr S."
Apart from the only poll that counts, the general election, where the vast majority of votes went to pro-EU parties.”

“If there was such an anti-Europe feeling, I rather think that parties like UKIP would have done better at elections than they actually did.”

“John needs to take this up with the Tory Party - not me. It is the Conservative EU manifesto that is calling for the EU to be expanded to include Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, the rest of Balkans & Turkey. (see page 27 section entitled Enlargement)
Also I think that Georgia is just in Europe, which is defined as West of the Urals - but again please ask William Hague - this is Tory Party policy not mine. I just think that extending the EU around the Med makes a lot of sense”

“I wouldn't worry John, Turkey aren't going to be joining anytime soon as most EU countries don't want them in, unlike the UK”
