Cameron argues Britain is safer in the EU

Drawing on history, Cameron argues Britain is safer in the EU


Britain needs the European Union to help fight Islamic State and rebuff a "newly belligerent" Russia, Prime Minister David Cameron said on Monday, making a "big, bold, patriotic case" for membership of the bloc.

With just over six weeks to go before a referendum, both campaigns to stay in and to leave the EU are stepping up their arguments, with former London mayor, Boris Johnson, due to challenge the prime minister in a speech later on Monday detailing why a British exit, or Brexit, would help the country.

Setting out the security argument for Britain to vote to remain in the EU on June 23, Cameron drew on military history, invoking the memory of war leader Winston Churchill to bolster his case that "isolationism has never served this country well".

"I want to show that if you love this country, if you want to keep it strong in the world and keep our people safe, our membership of the EU is one of the tools that helps us to do these things," Cameron told diplomats and campaigners.

"I'm not arguing that the EU alone has kept the peace in Europe these last 70 seventy years, of course not, NATO has played an absolutely key role ... (but) it's pretty extraordinary that countries that were fighting and killing each other are now finding a way to work together."

He warned Britain that it could be exposed to greater threats if voters decided to vote in favor of leaving the EU, underlining the role of security cooperation after dozens were killed in attacks by Islamic State in Brussels and Paris.

Want to make Britain a safe pace to live? Stay the fuck out of third world nations such as Syria and Libya. Cameron and his cronies support the NATO invasion of foreign nation and the toppling of secular regimes. They are supporting the so called "moderate terrorists" in Syria. What goes around comes around (remember the London tube attacks?)

Cameron can keep giving it to pigs, he is surely a great liar, along with most other European leaders.

I am voting out also, was a big mistake by me, to vote for the common market, they changed all the rules, and was not beneficial to the country, in fact it made things worse.

The majority of the UK is owned now by foreign companies, time to take it back once and for all.

When he proposed the Brexit referendum, some 60% of the Brits were in favor of staying within the European Union, and only around 40% were opposed to it. Cameron thought that he could conduct the referendum, and permanently kill the idea of Brexit. However, with Turkey blackmailing the EU member states, the proportion of Brits who want to get out of the EU rose to more than 50%. Now Cameron is realizing that he had committed a blunder.

The EU was doomed from the beginning. Now it's just a matter of who gets out first. Nobody wants to be the first one to leave.
