David Cameron should hold the EU referendum sooner, says Scunthorpe MP Nic Dakin

“Filbert,
Andrew Percy has been weighed, measured and found wanting. He won't make the cut at the next elections so forget about him.
Labour will win because they're not as bad as the Tories. A simple statement. Stanwest56 will tell you, you get what you vote for.
He's missed a very valid point, you may vote, but that does not necessarily mean your candidate wins. He thinks by voting you are already culpable. Socialist thinking I believe.”

“According to Mr Percy MP we need the workers, so why are there so many unemployed in this country? we should have those same rules as Spain and maybe Mr Percy should get off his backside and get down to the same level as the people he is suposed to represent nstead of making arrogant , rude and patronising remarks to people who know what it is to work for a living.”

“Call me Dave gave us a "cast iron" guarantee in 2010 that we would have a referendum, then did his usual u-turn on that.
Today he has basically said if you vote me back in in 2015 then I shall ask for certain changes and then, if they aren't agreed, he will give us a referendum.
Godfey Bloom got it spot on when on Look North tonight, Peter Levy was trying to be Paxman (and failing miserably yet again!), told him David Cameron has already promised this once and changed his mind, the fellow is not to be trusted, he said.
Well done Godfrey! We will not fall into the sea and fail if we're not in the EU, we will just be able to trade freely and govern ourselves.
MEPs will certainly be worried, they'll have to get proper jobs and stop filching from the public purse!
I'm with TimothyIngbit on this let's get out now.
Incidentally I read a readers' letter in the paper today that you cannot get a residents permit in Spain unless you can prove you have sufficient funds to live on, have transferred your UK NHS treatment right across or have private medical insurance.
They must be working that one within EU law so why aren't we?”

“Much as I consider Dakin to be useless plonker, Hazzers' badly written rant is nonsense. The military are a national concern and our MP's are paid to represent both locally and nationally.”

“Mr Brown denied us a vote , Then camoron in 2009 promised referendum on EU ,Then in 2012 made statement ill never campaign to take us out EU , If anyone was serious about giving us a referendum they would do it now , It,s urgent . Only 0.7% of British population are millionaires but 75% of MP,S are stated in papers must be some Truth their , We the public face cuts to all our services While paying millions into the EU , And giving millions in aid to other country's at the same time our government is getting loans to help do this we the public will pick up the tab .At the same time our government has pumped £1.162 Trillion of tax payers cash into the banks , To keep them afloat stated in papers , Iceland jailed the bankers and is out of recession , Stating banks are private company's why should we prop them up with public money let their investors loss so cash , Millionaires would lose out with their investments . not the public. I trust not the main party's , Lets not forget their sins of the past .”

“Camerons contention that he can keep us in the EU but with different policies on everything from immigration to trade and taxation is ridiculous. We have come to a fork in the road with Europe. We are in or out and if we are in we are fully in with no caveats. At least Miliband and Clegg are open about their commitment to federalism and the fact that they will sign anything that is put in front of them. As one French minister has said, one cannot join a football team and demand to play rugby.
The choice is in or out. I believe we should be out but thats just me. Lets have a vote.”

“So Dakin is going against his leader.”

“Hazers .The EU/Army issue is far more important than what is the top concerns of the people of our town .In fact its laughable ,like when has any Govt cared about the small northern towns views ir infact the larger northern cities .The people who will decide if we stay or go or how many troops will be sacked will be either from or around Essex or Sir Rupert and god bless all those who sail in them.”

“I've just seen Dakin on Priminesters Questions on the TV and I have to agree with the @LordScunny tweet. Dakin asked about 5,300 soldiers set for the axe! Is that what we voted him in for? Is that really any conrcern for the people of Scunthorpe? Is 5300 soldiers the hot topic and on everyone's lips in the town? Are the 50 men at Caparo, the staff at HMV, the staff at Blockbuster, all who's jobs are under threat in Dakins constituancey, concerned about what happens to some soldiers in another part of the country. Dakin was voted in to represent us, here in our town, NOT other people far away. He should remember that next time when he comes knocking for our vote!”

“The finger-bone of suspicion.”
