Luton Referendum Confirms That the British People are Sick of the EU

The ITV programme ‘Tonight’ aired 20.10.08 entitled ‘EU Decide’, which showed the campaign and voting results from a mock referendum on EU membership held in Luton has been highly praised by the UKIP MEP for the Eastern Counties Jeffrey Titford. The voters solidly rejected the Lisbon Treaty and strongly backed British withdrawal from the EU.

When the people of Luton were asked how they would vote on ratification of the Lisbon Treaty 27 per cent voted yes, 63 per cent voted no and 10 per cent were undecided. When asked about membership of the EU, only 35 per cent voted to stay in, with an impressive 54 per cent voting to come out. 11 per cent were undecided.

Mr Titford said: “The programme makers are to be congratulated for having the courage to make and air such a programme. The results speak for themselves. It is a great shame that it has to be left to ITV to give the British people a say in how their country is to be governed in the decades ahead.

However, it is abundantly clear that the voters are sick and tired of the EU and that there is massive support for UKIP’s position that Britain would be better off out of it altogether. It is high time the other Parliamentary parties put an end to their long love affair with the European Union, which is completely at odds with the views of ordinary people.”

Where did it go?

Did you settle down on the sofa last night for a cosy night in front of the TV? Were you nicely settled down with the cat on your lap and mug of steaming Horlicks ready to watch the ITV referendum programme? Were you totally surprised when the programme announcement seemed to be cut short and something else came on instead? Well, you were not alone.

Word has it, although this is just word of mouth stuff allegedly from someone involved in this programme, when the vote on EU membership was taken, 53% voted to leave the EU and only 37% voted to remain entrapped by it. If this is really true then is it no wonder the programme very conveniently vanished, probably never to be seen again.

It would seem that have ITV have taken a lot of calls about the axing of this programme and for more info you can see a couple of postings about it at the following link here There was also a prior posting here

lets turn their lines red hot!

For now it seem's your'll just have to watch the launch of the campaigning on ITV's
