UKIP has thrown its weight behind the Daily Express ePetition calling
for a referendum on the EU, with just 100,000 names needed before the Government considers a debate in Parliament on the issue.
UKIP Leader Nigel Farage urged all Party members and supporters to add their names to the ePetition as soon as possible.
He said: “This is a real chance to force the Government into a proper, Parlimentary debate on an issue that affects everyone in the UK, every single day of their lives but on which they have been denied a say so far.
“So we back the Daily Express call for an EU referendum and I hope every UKIP member, their families, friends anbd work colleagues will add their names to the ePetition.
Use all the tools at your disposal to spread the word. Put it on your Facebook page, re-tweet on Twitter, whatever it takes, spread the word.
“The Government has said it will consider any issue for Parliamentary debate if 100,000 people put their names to it. With the weight of feeling about the EU in this country, particularly over the economic bailouts,
we could easily achieve 10 times that number!
“This is also a chance for UKIP to call on support for the petition from across the
board and put Nation before Party. At last, we could be given a say on the one big question: In or out?
“So, please, add your name now!”

Hi Capt. Okay you’re welcome. It’s not doing much here either. People who are saying that ePetitions are correct in their thinking that they do very little, the reason is of course it’s controlled by the very people who are attempting to control every aspect of our miserable lives.
I’ve recently learned that putting a link in the body of the blog is a good solution of getting more exposure, slow learner here!
You must have heard about the Global Non-Compliance Effort that is ongoing at the moment? I’ve just joined so I’ll be doing a blog on that situation soon. There is a twitter page here: http://twitter.com/globalnoncom/ and a website here: http://www.noncompliance.co.uk/ which I am pretty sure you’ll know about.
Would be good if you could do a post yourself as I know your blog has much more reach than my little effort. Thanks for getting in touch with me I appreciate it very much, follow your blog most every day. Love your humour etc…
Regards and best wishes
