THIS week sees the 30th anniversary of the Common Market referendum.
Although the 'no' side came second, they have been proved right by events.
Since then, the public has been denied a say on how they are governed.
It was swept under the carpet during May's election campaign and it now looks like we will not get the referendum we were promised in the Government's manifesto.
We could trade readily with today's Common Market if we were outside - many other countries do.
If we commit to staying in, we will have to pay for a Europe that wants to run almost every area of our lives.
Readers should send a SAE for our free fact sheet.
