Don’t let the EU call time on us putting the clocks forward – being late and whinging about it being too dark is all part of being British!

ON March 29, the clocks were meant to strike 11 representing Britain leaving the EU – but after two and a half years, our politicians have catastrophically failed to deliver Brexit on time.

And now to add insult to injury, we could be forced by Brussels to scrap our 100-year-old tradition of changing the clocks backwards and forwards – meaning we’ll have to keep the time the same all year round.

This Sunday British clocks will change to British Summer Time, moving forward an hour, giving us longer evenings and more time to enjoy the day.

But EU politicians want to take that away from us, and from 2021 all EU member states will be forced to keep either Winter time or Summer time.

This diktat dreamt up by bureaucrats in Brussels shows exactly why we must deliver on the referendum from 2016.

Whinging about it being too dark is part of being British

A bunch of unelected grey men in suits are forcing proud nation states to stick to one time all year round, creating a whole host of issues for countries across the continent.

Miserably whinging about how dark it is outside is all part of being British. Turning up late and blaming it on the clocks going back is a British tradition. Why should they be allowed to take this away from us?

But seriously, it will be a nightmare either way. If we ever do manage to leave the bureaucratic bloc and decide to keep BST, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland could be split into two separate time zones for half the year.

You could walk 20 metres into southern Ireland and be an hour behind.

But to the Brussels technocrats this is no problem, they simply want to force Europe into ever closer union, with all states eventually joining to be under the full control of the EU Commission.

The Commission claimed to have consulted member states over this issue, with over 4 million submissions from around the continent. The only problem is that 70 per cent of these came from Germany, with Britain having the least participation rate of any country at just 0.02 per cent.

‘Individual countries are being ignored’

Brussels’ incompetence is remarkable, forcing all EU states to stick to one time all year round completely ignores the needs of individual countries.

Estonia has different needs to Spain, Croatia has different needs to Ireland.

It should be up to the people of those countries as to how they dictate their clocks and their laws.

But because this reality does not suit the federalist dream of a united Europe it is swept aside to be replaced with more centralised madness.

When Germany speaks, the EU follows. Yet again another decision made in Berlin has been forced upon the rest of Europe, with Britain especially having almost no say whatsoever.

An anti-democratic prison forcing laws on its members 

It is almost as if the EU are trying to remind British voters why we voted to leave.

Following on from the passing of the controversial copyright law Article 13 in the European Parliament this week, it is clear to anyone with some form of vision that Brussels is an anti-democratic prison which forces law onto member states without voters having any say.

They come up with “consultations” and pretend the European Parliament has the real power, but those who come up with the laws are elected by nobody.

Why are the EU so afraid to put their ideas to the people? Because they know that the people are not with them.

Brexit was just the beginning, a rise of anger has swept Europe as the ruling classes in Brussels continue to impose their creeping legislative agenda on the peoples of Europe.

We will not sit by and let them dictate our lives.

The more the EU imposes its disastrous Europe-wide policies, such as the Euro and Shengen, the closer it will come to its eventual collapse.

As our politicians in Westminster desperately try to retain power in Brussels’ hands, so as to avoid any real scrutiny from voters, the people are starting to rise up.

New polling from ComRes shows that 38% of leave voters, and 1 in 5 of all voters, will boycott any future election if Brexit is thwarted.

Disastrous ‘one size fits all’ EU laws will continue to press into voters minds that we must leave this anti-democratic club.

Soon clocks will strike midnight on the European Project, and all the bureaucrats in Brussels can do is delay their downfall.
