So much for EU's healthcare

Recently the Press has reported on the UK mother who is in a French hospital having just had a baby some eight weeks early while on holiday. In typical form the insurance company did not wish to know nor did the British Government.

To return home with the baby in an incubator would cost £15,000. Yet when the UK became a member of the EU the electorate were told recipical health agreements were in place to provide treatment and get the person home.

Had this lady been from the EU and the baby born in the UK she would have been transported home immediately both were well enough to travel - at the UK's expense.

The electorate are now seeing where the £45 million that Gordon Brown gives the EU is being spent.

It is not on reciprocal heath care but going into the pockets of corrupt officials who have managed to get away with it because they will not provide the EU auditors with the full information when auditing the accounts.

Hence why the EU accounts have never been approved for the last 10 years.

Now if there is no referendum by June 2007 the EU constitution will, under EU law, be imposed upon the UK. Demand a referendum on the EU now before it is too late.

Regrettably the UK does not have another Winston Churchill waiting to lead us out of trouble.
