THIS government's attitude to referenda should alarm us all. It cannot be trusted to run a fair euro referendum campaign any more than it can be trusted on its proposals for regional assemblies.
This is a government that uses taxpayers' money to promote its policies and has politicised the once independent civil service to a far greater extent than any previous administration.
John Prescott's proposals for regional assemblies are intended to break up the United Kingdom and abolish the nation state. This additional and unnecessary layer of bureaucracy is nothing more than a European blueprint for a federal Europe based on regions and should be opposed tooth and nail.
Our nation has just celebrated the Queen's Golden Jubilee and shown in many different ways up and down the land that we wish to remain a sovereign people with the right to govern our own affairs.
The Freedom Association is campaigning against regional assemblies and against British membership of the Euro. We must fight to retain our independence and our sovereignty and that means saying no to regional government and no to the single currency.

Campaign Manager
