"Mr President, in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels it was understandable that national governments would reinstate border controls to increase security and try to monitor who was coming in and out of a country. An alleged plot was uncovered yesterday by Italian police revealing that an ISIS-linked group was using migrant routes and open borders to plan terror attacks in Britain, Italy, France and Belgium. Just like this latest plot, the perpetrators of the Paris and Brussels murders crossed internal EU borders unchecked, including between France, Belgium and Hungary. Some of them had even been to Syria and returned.
In calling for borders to once again become a terrorist’s dream, the EU has shown it puts its diehard dogma of a European superstate above the safety of the European people whom it is supposed to represent and who pay for it – in the case of Britain, to the tune of GBP 8 billion net. And ‘die’ is a pertinent word, for the EU has blood on its hands. Schengen is not only the free movement of people: it is also the free movement of terrorists and Kalashnikovs. I question the principles of all those urging the UK to vote to remain in the EU. I also question the principles of those senior British military personnel who, like me, swore an oath of allegiance to Her Majesty The Queen, but who have been telling voters we are safer in the EU. It is my sincere belief that the British people are safer outside of this leaking terrorist haven of a political union."@en1
