DAVID CAMERON will salute the EU’s “anti-communist record” today as he launches a new phase in the campaign to remain in the European Union.
The Prime Minister will claim that membership of the bloc is essential to Britain’s security, arguing that Britain is “better off, safer and stronger” in the EU.
“We always wanted two things from the EU,” the Conservative Party leader is expected to say. “One: the creation of a vast single market.
“And two: a Europe in which Britain helped return the nations which languished under communism to the European fold — nations which still look to us as a friend and protector.”
Mr Cameron’s olive branch to right-wing eastern European governments follows a recent renegotiation of Britain’s membership terms which soured relations with Poland when he attacked social security payments for the children of migrant workers.
Former MI5 and MI6 leaders Lord Evans of Weardale and Sir John Sawers wrote in the Sunday Times yesterday that the conditions on which intelligence was shared by members states was set by the EU and exit could “undermine our ability to protect ourselves.”
But Lexit — the Left Leave Campaign convener Alex Gordon said that “the idea that the Tory government, spooks and EU bureaucrats have the interests of our democratic liberties at heart is comic.
“The triumph of monopoly capitalism across Europe has led to an endless series of crises and wars. It only underlines the socialist case for helping to abolish the EU in the interests of workers, their families and democratic rights everywhere.”
