Mike Nattrass, the deputy leader of the UK Independence party, warned yesterday that Britain might have to fight its way out of Europe in the same way that Chechyna was fighting to free itself from Russia.

The Guardian is very critical of his comments, but no surprise there. The bias in the Guardian is out of control, and detrimental to its stance as a quality broadsheet. The jounalist is deberately misinterpreting what he said and twisting the meaning to make it sound bizarre. The resulting criticism is absolutely nothing to do with what Mr Nattrass actually said.
All he actually said was that the EU, like the Russian Federation has done with Chechnya, might refuse to let us leave in the future. If the constitution is agreed to by Britain, then the only way that we will be able to legally leave the EU after that time will be if we win a majority vote in the European Parliament. The British people will not be able to vote to leave the EU.
If the EU refused to let Britain leave, then our situation would indeed be comparable to that of Chechnya.
At no point does this mean that UKIP, or Mike Nattrass, is suggesting that we should be holding children hostage in a school, as infered by the Guardian. More likely would be a campaign of civil disobedience; and a refusal to pay any more money to the EU.
