Godfrey Bloom says demands from EU to hand over driver details should be resisted
Demands from the EU to hand over the personal details of every motorist in the country must be strongly resisted, the region's MEP has said.
Godfrey Bloom, MEP for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, said: "Theresa May has not yet implemented this Orwellian diktat and she certainly should not do so.
"Brussels may well be threatening to levy fines totalling millions of pounds if we don't do as they instruct but we must stand firm and refuse to be bullied," said Mr Bloom.
Eurocrats are demanding that the 26 police forces across the EU should have access to the personal details of every motorist in Britain and foreign police also want open access to the UK's national DNA database and fingerprint records.

Mr Bloom added: "Handing over the DVLA database containing details of 38 million drivers is a recipe for disaster.
"Not all these countries have such high police standards as the UK and it is not difficult to foresee incorrect details being input into computer systems.
"Innocent motorists could then have enormous trouble proving their innocence.
"And I am very concerned about checks against our DNA data base as some European countries have high error rates which checking such samples.
"Innocent British citizens have already been seized under European Arrest Warrant legislation for crimes allegedly committed abroad.
"If this goes through the likelihood of such miscarriages of justice will only increase.
"It is thanks to the Labour government in 2008 who signed up to this Prum Treaty that our civil liberties are further at risk.
"Our current government must not implement it."

“If anyone thinks that we can just leave the EU, then they are seriously misguided.
David Cameron is more concerned with the Falkland Islanders having a referendum on their "Britishness". If he gives them a "cast iron" guarantee then we all know where that's headed.
Ireland had to vote twice on the Lisbon Treaty because the first result wasn't the right one.
We will only leave the EU when the MEPs are fed up riding their gravy train!
Don't hold your breath kiddies!”

“Since this article we have had a statement from the U.S administration urging the U.K to stay in the E.U. So now we know what Obama thinks, we know what Cameron, Clegg and Milliband think. We know what Barrosso, Van Rumpoy , Merkel etc think. But does anyone know or care what the British people think? Are we even going to be asked? It doesn't look like it!”

“"Brussels may well be threatening to levy fines totalling millions of pounds if we don't do as they say , Who the hell do they think they are .We fought wars to stop invasions from many of these so called EU states in the past many died preventing this happening did they die in vain weak mainstream political party's are allowing us to be walked over , There are more patriotic party's that we can vote for time to give them a chance ,How many people are happy with present government and the previous one do we still trust them ?”

“The EU dictating again , ruling over us , Did not some of the EU States refuse to hand over criminal records of migrants coming over here , As TimothyIngbit says All three mainstream parties are totally committed to the EU . Our standard of living has gone down hill since we got involved . Promised a referendum by all mainstream party's but not yet given the chance is this because most working class people would vote to leave this also goes for other EU states who are suffering under EU rulings , We pay our governments wages but they do not seem to represent the working classes any more .Lets hope we get the chance to vote again and change the way we vote and get some one in that keeps their word .”

“Anyone still expecting the Conservative party to "stand up for Britain" in the madcap world of the EU needs to start being realistic. All three mainstream parties are totally committed to the EU nanny state Bureaucracy because most within their ranks have more in common with the professional political classes than the people they are supposed to represent. All have the same government knows best ideology running like a thread through their party thinking. All are therefore totally committed to EU membership and the compliance necessary to maintain it.”
