EU Commission Backs Visa-Free Travel throughout EU For 80 Million Turks
Which freedom exactly did they take from you specifically?
I think you miss the point I am not talking about me specifically I am talking about the people of the UK allowing our freedoms to be dictated to us by a central European power
And right now if we vote in we are saying that that is fine.
It is actually fook all to do with immigration but as we are a small island and therefore have less resources than a large continental landmass - like Europe say, it means we need to ensure that we have secured our borders and we only let people in who can be productive members of society.

Ok, we've established that you specifically did NOT lost any freedoms.
Do you PERSONALLY know anybody who did and which freedoms were lost?
IMHO the main restriction to freedoms comes solely from UK Govt - you can't buy a CS gas for self-defense in this country because laws class it as "firearm", so my freedom to self-defend myself even with CS gas is massively reduced, NOT because of EU.
From top of my head the worst thing EU did so far was making UK sites display retarded warning about cookies being used, that's total BS and it's currently being reviewed in EU.

Well it was pretty bloody hard to get rid of Abu what's his face (hook).
How about the loss of freedom to deport Islamic terrorists.

Ah, so you are talking about not YOUR freedoms, but freedoms of state to do various things which would ignore individual freedoms, such as deporting somebody to place where they would face fortune or death.
I think it's very good that EU is limiting freedoms of UK Govt, if those terrorists are breaking any laws in UK then they should be jailed under UK laws or not allowed into the country in the first place.
I've come to conclusion that UK Govt is totally untrusted and should never have final say on matters affecting citizens, so for UK to be part of EU is awesome. It's also great for UK Govt - gives them great excuse to blame EU for their own incompetence.
On a business side the argument is rock solid - for trade to be in EU is much better for UK than being outside.
