The EU will not guarantee our safety

Do these people not realise what how it sounds to the British people to hear them going on about how important the EU is to our safety.
Welcoming the result of the European constitution referendum in Luxembourg yesterday, European Parliament president Josep Borrell of Spain jumped onto the bandwagon by saying “the people of Luxembourg had realised the need for “more of Europe to better guarantee the safety of Europeans”.” And he hoped that the “”appalling” attacks in London would “have a positive political effect in making Europeans realise the importance of the European project to better guarantee their safety”.

How on earth can this person assume anything like this from yesterday’s results from the country that has over the past fifty years gained the most out of the European Project? Removing the borders from the member states is perhaps one of the biggest contributors to the lack of internal security. Anyone intent on causing an outrage need only arrive in any of the EU countries, and they can travel anywhere within the EU states without the knowledge of the authorities. We have retained for the present some semblance of border control in Britain but even that is very lax when it come to people arriving from other member states. Because they have removed the internal border control they now want to have the power at the EU level to control external borders this of course necessitate handing more power to the EU, so they can better guarantee our safety, what absolute rubbish.
