"We believe that it is time the public were allowed a say about our future EU membership and the seemingly endless pressure for further integration.

"There are benefits to our membership but also many issues, particularly the large influx of migrants in Lincolnshire into our county which is a cause for concern for many residents."

    “As Sitting Bull would say "Cameron He Speak With Fork Tongue"
    WE want a referendum NOW not in 5 years time.
    In 5 years from now we will have paid into this undemocratic European Cesspit somewhere between
    250 to 300 billion pounds.”

    “David Cameron has kicked off the next election campaign already. We will stay in the EU because he will claim a great victory in negotiations and he will urge us to vote in favour.We like the Irish will keep voting 'til the right result is achieved. The main reason for staying in though is because the US will tell us to. When the US say jump the UK say how high.”

    “David Cameron used his get-out clause to get out of a referendum this time so I wonder what he'll use next time in the unlikelihood he gets back in. A referendum BEFORE the next election would likely give him a good chance of a second term.”
