Euroscepticism or Secession?
NEXT BRUGES GROUP MEETING
The damage that the European Union is having on our economy and democracy as well as the harm it is inflicting on the continent of Europe is now accepted by many bar those from the international bureaucratic class. However, what is the answer to these undeniable problems? Some are advocating that the UK’s terms of EU membership should be renegotiated; others maintain that withdrawal from the EU is the only realistic way to address the damage inflicted on Britain by the EU.

This Bruges Group meeting has two speakers that advocate these two different approaches.

Monday, 24th October 2011
6.45pm for 7pm

ADMISSION: £10 payable on the door or in advance
Including wine, orange juice, mineral water and nibbles
