Have you been fooled by Cameron's apparent EU scepticism ?

Question

For me, Cameron is keenly aware that vast numbers in the UK are fed up with the unending flow of cheap labour into the UK (4000 per week), which is now being clearly linked with suppressed wages.

He knows that under the terms and conditions of our membership, we cannot stop anyone from an EU member state coming into the UK.

He knows that we cannot apply our own values when it comes to such things as deportation of EU Nationals, because the European Convention on Human Rights, overrides anything our law can do.

So what does he do? Well he is clearly playing the EU sceptic card, trying to convince all and sundry that he has given EU sceptics top jobs, and that he is not afraid to tackle the problems.

But much more sinister is the truth. Because it is all a smoke screen. He absolutely wants to stay in the EU. He may genuinely want to arrest back control of immigration and the powers of the ECHR.

But both of these things are not negotiable, it has been said time and again, even by the newly appointed Jean-Claude Juncker.

So he is blagging it. He is making all sorts of noises around the changes he can effect, in fact he is doing everything he can to divert attention away from these 2 fundamental issue.

Are you being fooled by him?

The Conservative party was forced to give an in/out referendum by the surge of UKIP but what strikes me is that we have got to wait until 2017 for a referendum and I'm voting UKIP because I agree on there policy's so I want UKIP candidates elected. I want a conservative/UKIP coalition but i would rather choose a conservatve majority than a labour or liberal democrat majority. David cameron is pro Europe but I don't care about that I just want a referendum.

Whether it's his belief or just playing the EU sceptic card I don't care......

Any move or action to distance us from this ridiculous club is fine by me......

In any case  I'd rather Cameron than the overtly pro EU traitors of Labour......!

Cameron is trying to be all things to all men.  His business backers know that if Britain left the EU, we would lose most of our market for financial services and manufactured goods and we'd face a recession that made the 1930s seem like a walk in the park.  On the other hand, he wants the votes of the English undereducated drinking classes (the Alf Garnet set).

Any influence Britain might have had over Europe has been squandered by the British electorate not bothering to vote in the recent European elections, and by Cameron's antics to scupper Juncker.  Even if we can avoid getting thrown out, we can expect to sit in the back seat for the next 5 years.
