Eurosceptic Member of Parliament and former Shadow Secretary of State John Redwood has blasted the U.S. political establishment for its interventions against what he calls Britain’s “war of independence” from Brussels. Speaking at a Bow Group think tank event in Westminster last night, Mr. Redwood turned his fire of U.S. President Barack Obama for his pro-European Union (EU) statements, declaring: “Those of you who are our guests from America try and explain to your president that we are fighting our war of independence.” Mr. Redwood was speaking alongside former Ronald Reagan Executive Assistant Peggy Grande, who also spoke about the importance of a free United States and United Kingdom leading the charge for democratic rights and individual liberties the world over. Mr. Redwood commented: “Fortunately we don’t have to fight [our war with the EU] with muskets and cannon but we are fighting it through this referendum and we wish to have our democracy back. Our right of self government has been gravely damaged by our membership in the European Union. Those rights that we thought were inalienable and are part of the pursuit of happiness and the development of freedom have been taken away from us and given to Brussels
