THE LONDON DAILY NEWS: The Labour Government's position on Turkeys membership to join the European Union was underlined yesterday with David Milliband the Foreign Secretary saying in Ankara:
"The U.K. remains strongly committed to this vision of Turkey becoming an equal member of the EU. We sent a loud message that it is an important time for imagination and confidence, not for hesitation and blame," Miliband said. "We know there is a long road to accession. Britain can talk about its own rocky road but it is important to drive forward in the face of challenges."
The British National Party which is consistently achieving over 20 per cent in polls on the London Daily News has campaigned consistently against the entrance of Turkey to the European Union with the party's leader on Sky News saying:
"If we could get three or four members of the European Parliament, the next few years will be crucial as to whether Turkey would join the European Union.
"Eighty million Muslims having the right to come here, it would be a disaster. We would like to be able to oppose that as well." >>> International News Desk | Thursday, May 28, 2009
