At last!
An actual mainstream newspaper that actually cares about its readership's views and not just moulding a news agenda.
The Daily Express has come out fighting for the right to leave the EU and it gives good and valid reasons for doing so.
Today's edition, for example, highlights the madness of the EU waste of cash.
EURO MADNESS
- £350,000 for a dog fitness and rehabilitation centre that was never built. Plans included developing a hydrotherapy system to “improve dogs’ wellbeing”
- £4.5m for a fleet of limousines for Euro-MPs in Strasbourg. Green Party estimates already show that travelling between and maintaining the European Parliament’s two buildings in Strasbourg and Brussels already costs European taxpayers £170m
- £13,500 to Tyrolean farmers to boost their “emotional connection with the landscape.” They were expected to become “more aware of their emotional reactions to it compared to their prevailing rational economic ones.”
- £4,300 on a “Europe Horse” to promote the EU to German children. A booklet was produced chronicling the cartoon animal’s trip from Germany to Brussels, meeting various EU figures along the way
- £763,000 for a golf course, hotel and spa whose guests include German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The platinum membership fee for the club is 1,100 euros per year
We've always known the EU was barmy but I personally find it offensive that the Eurocrats promote those who disagree with this political project of being mentally ill or plain and simple nutters.
I know which daily paper I'll be buying from now on.
Add to that the paper's stance on the economically damaging and socially dangerous tobacco display ban and it's obvious that The Daily Express is worthy of support because of its comment sense and courageous approach.
