Euroscepticism

Euroscepticism is criticism of the european union as a political organisation. Major criticisms include the idea that it weakens the national state, erodes national identity, and is not properly democratic.

papers such as Daily mail, daily express, the daily telegraph, the sun and times have been vocal in their criticism of the eu. Daily express became the first newspaper to actually call for britain to leave the eu with its headline "Get britain out of europe", they also launched a crusade to remove britain from the uk.

Misrepresentations of eu policies

Home-made jam? Eu bosses want to ban it.

This story was printed in newspapers but was completely untrue 
also articals have been used to persuade its readers that the eu is a bad thing. however, it also misrepresents information and the eu.

A misleading headline from the express on the 11th feburary 2010 said "now we have to bail out the euro"
When really we just had to help bail out greece and not the single currency.
