We have a choice: belong to an EU bureaucracy which suffocates enterprise and dictates our laws, or break free. We are the world’s 5th biggest economy. We gave the world the language of business; Britons have invented everything from the jet engine to the World Wide Web; we are the most creative people in the world, winning more Nobel prizes per head than any other major nation. English Common Law secures a free society and provides the best environment for business. Yet there are those who think we are too weak to control our own borders, decide our own taxes and make our own laws. The ability to choose who governs us, and the freedom to change laws we don’t like, were won for us by radicals and liberals who took power from unaccountable elites and put it in the hands of the people. Let’s do it again. Many of those who shaped our democracy were Manchester liberals. It was global free trade and the ingenuity and entrepreneurship of our people which built our city. From Peterloo to the ‘Great Trespass’ the demand for freedom has been at the centre of our character. Would people who value freedom and democracy really put up with other governments making our laws and controlling our borders? Either you believe in democracy, or you don’t. This is a fundamental choice about whether we believe we should take control of our own destiny or let an undemocratic EU impose laws on us. Freed from costly EU red tape, business would prosper. John Longworth, the former Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce said: "In the long run we have the capacity and capability to create a bright(er) economic future outside of the EU.’ He spoke the truth and was forced to resign. Britain would thrive after our EU exit. We must not be scared out of voting Leave, whatever the tactics of the pro Brussels campaign. This is the chance of a lifetime to make our bid for freedom.
