Autonomy, migration top agenda for Brexit’s ‘Leave’ camp Oakham Report by Tony Todd
FRANCE 24
As Britain prepares to vote in a decisive June 23 referendum on whether or not to remain in the EU, FRANCE 24 spoke to members of the United Kingdom Independence Party and other eurosceptics about why they want to leave the bloc.
Members of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) gathered outside a bakery in Oakham, the small market town that is the capital of picturesque and staunchly Conservative Rutland county in the East Midlands, on Monday to hand out flyers.
But heavy rain soon forced the group to retreat to a nearby café for coffee and sandwiches. With them was Roger Helmer, the 72-year-old member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the East Midlands region.
Helmer has been an MEP since 1999, originally as a member of the Conservative Party. He defected to the UKIP in 2012.
