NO country in history of the world has remained independent after losing its currency. When Hitler marched into Holland, Belgium, France and many other lands in the 1940s his first priority was to remove the national currency to control the country.

The top priority of the coming election is to keep our pound. Whatever our previous political allegiance we must return a Conservative government this June to conserve our national identity.

Our national freedom is also at stake, for if we continue drifting into Europe, our Westminster Parliament will become irrelevant and we will be ruled from Brussels and Strasbourg. Most legalised immorality that besets us has come in through European directives and only national government can stop this.

I believe God used Churchill in 1940 to prevent our surrender and eventually win the war. We are at a similar crisis this year so don't waste your vote on June 7.
