This EU President Business and his sidekick

Well, pushed by Blair, promoted by Brown, a career politician who never worked a 'real' job, helped sell our souls to the Lisbon treaty and married to a pollster. Would you like to meet her? Cathy Ashton (apparently she is a baroness but I only use that epithet when the person in question deserves it). Not fit to represent me, us or Great Britain. Yet somehow she is now our 'Foreign Minister' but of course the EU calls her High Representative for Foreign Affairs.

I would have been better if Tony Blair became EU president if we are to have one, at least he has some 'chutzpah'. Also for the fact that he would have greatly aided the eurosceptic campaign but I am sure Mr. EU-Wide-Tax wont disappoint either. Coincidentally, what rhymes with 'Herman', the new EU President, well of course 'German'. Fret not for I jest, of course the Germans had nothing to do with this did they? Xenophobia my arse, this is not xenophobia, it is just the plain, bare, deplorable dishonesty which is standing right in front of us, spitting down our throats while holding a shotgun to our balls. They could have been from bloody Mauritania for all I care, the very sincere disgust would have equivalent.

However these two will have to do, since they will aid the UK's final 10 years left in the EU - the countdown has begun. If the elite thinks otherwise there is little we can do for they command far greater resources than we do. But, we will sure as hell give them a run for their money, at the very least.

How and Why?

Why do we exist and does what we do make any significant or material difference to the world we are fortunate (well...) to be part of? Is the pen (keyboard) really mightier than the sword when the enemy (New Labour and the government) command nothing less than a small legion of forces with which it can swiftly and quickly deny or block a story altogether. Are those forces in turn completely demented or are they just that corrupted that they do anything for money? How is it that 27 people are to decide the potentially mightiest politician in the EU and they say nothing? How can it be conceivable that a newspaper calls its reader idiots after they refuse the global warming shenanigans? Surely that is the newspaper's fault for not doing enough brainwashing to get its message across?

These questions have all terribly simple answers to normal people who still have a sense of duty and moral conviction that something is terribly wrong with this country. When grave stones are being consecrated by the authorities for they have become a health and safety hazard. I am trying to put myself into that person's clothes, how do you think when you have been tasked with such a mission to kick over graves... 'I am about to tip over these century old graves because my council says so - Jolly Good Then!' It is that last part of the person's hypothetical mind waves that have become and issue in this country; the blind acceptance and conformity where before there was a moral objection to something so monumentally stupid as tipping over a grave stone. This of course is something of an extreme example and I expect it wont be long before we hear heads rolling on this one, I know that I would be all the rage if someone (if that 'someone' turned out to be employed by my council there would be hell to pay, sure this is the internet and empty threats are ubiquitous but this is not one of them) kicked over my grandfather's grave stone. You would see nothing short of ballistic blitzkrieg on my behalf and I am a fairly sensible person - imagine someone who is a bit off the hook. Murder she wrote.

What we write now, this and many posts before it and what people like Mr. North, Guido and Iain Dale or Leg Iron, write - does it make a difference and does it matter? Perhaps, the fundamental difference between the MSM and bloggers is that we retain our common sense where the rest have fundamentally lost it. The Guardian yesterday ran a completely non-story about the M0D helping out Top Gear, where their twist was that they had spent taxpayer money and soldiering hours (which simply was not true and it was a downright lie). We know that this is complete BS, not because it is the Guardian, they sometimes have very incisive cover on the most fascinating of issues even though they are Labourites, and so it appears do most comments. Which is why we must consider what makes the media abandon its common sense when it is writing the simplest of issues and why don't they huff-and-puff more when something really paradoxically cockeyed has taken place. They instead insist that because they are a media outlet they must remain impartial. But we all know this is complete crap as well, it is ridiculously easy to put a political label of media outlets today, whereas they are pretending that 'bias' is like French to them - c'est quoi monsieur?

Why the charade? Be honest for once in your miserable lives.

Some music for ye oldies

Now do not fall of your chairs ladies and gentlemen, it is just a bit of good old classic rock'n'roll courtesy of the Bronx. It is has a good line "we re-wrote the standards" which reminds me of someone I know... oh yes! It is the good old government -again. Here we go:

We got a new design

Excess redefined so you can dream it

We rewrote the standards

Covered up the old scars so you would believe it

Polar music price anyone?

National Symbols on the EU Agenda to be off the Agenda

We hear that the new front-runner to be the first EU President is committed to a European national anthem and the replacement of a range of nationalistic symbols. Which is why I must ask you naive little Tory voters, what did you really think would happen? This is the beginning and it does not matter who we vote into Westminster now, hung parliament or not, NO-ONE will do anything about the leviathan that sits proudly in his new tower in Brussels. Yet you still apologise for the Tories?

The Huntsman, ever so clever, has summed it up well again:

The assault on the remaining power held by member 'states' is already well under way.

"'Lisbon Treaty should mean single EU seat on IMF board'

This points up the dereliction of duty implicit in Hague's vague promise to address the issue of the UK's relationship with the EU over the course of the next Parliament.

The future of Tory Euroscepticism is going to be traduced by a failure to meet head-on and forthwith the power-grabs that the EU will seek in the next twelve months. Their task is going to be all the simpler by virtue of Hague having effectively said that he is going to dither, procrastinate and wriggle like a worm out of doing anything about the EU and the consequences of Lisbon.

In such manner does the leadership of the Tory party wave off like an irritating fly the genuine and deeply felt Eurosceptic views of its backbenchers, PPCs, activists and members.

Well, the EU Comrades, with whom Cameron and Hague will soon be sitting down to so many lavish dinners, will have noted this planned procrastination with care and will be hard at
it from the 1st December.

It is right for the TPA to focus on "the economic cost and waste of the European project", but that may well be pointless if the source of the politcal power and legal authority to create that cost and waste goes wholly unaddressed until such time as Hague gathers up his skirts and finds the courage to deal with the EU.

Euroscepticism is being betrayed by the deliberate and carefully planned inaction of the Tory Leadership. The Party that stands behind them must make up its mind whether it is prepared to let them fiddle whilst Brittania burns.

So really, REALLY, if it is just a friendly trading area why the fuck do they need an army?

Not exactly a rush for the Tories

I have for the past 30 minutes been floating around the blogosphere in search for something interesting to read for my morning tea. I realise that at the time of this writing is 2.30PM and any tea drinking should have been done ages ago. Well, I say this; I am student, yesterday was Saturday, you do the maths. Alas, moving on one is desperately struggling to find something very interesting to read mostly because my fellow bloggers probably have not arisen yet from their rosy slumbers dreaming of a better future. I am sure that once they do wake the full wrath of their malcontent will spring forth like Labour in 1997.

Now, whilst there might not be any grand posts to read right now there surely will be by tonight. But on this note I wish to go quite on a different subject altogether. Most of you will have noticed how Labour won the Glasgow North by-election by 58% when only 30% bothered to vote, put in other terms that means that only 17% of people actually wanted Labour to be in power for another shitty term. Fair enough, it is their vote and their opinion and one cannot but criticise their judgement but not their conviction.

But why did the Tories not win? Why were they almost beaten to fourth place by a gang of non-politicians who barely have a penny to their name (BNP) and where the Tories have millions upon millions of pounds pouring in from gullible donors wishing to get their hands on the next piece of British social architecture waiting to be privatised during their incoming reign. What will it be this time you ask? The BBC, Royal Mint, Royal Mail, Met Office and maybe even the MoD?

Just because something is mismanaged due to another government's misgivings does not give you the right to sell of our ancient institutions. We know you want to and you know we do not want to, we have told you time and time again; we like our national institutions, they provide pride where our government consistently fails - well 'pride' may perhaps not be the best word but I for one would have lunch with the head of the Queen Elizabeth Conference centre any day, before any one of the ministers from this government or the incoming.

So why is that when Labour are universally despised and will most likely become the third party at next election, HM Opposition are not cashing in on it? Sure they are consistently ahead 10% points in the polls but that is nothing compared to Blair before the election in 1997. The BNP are cashing in like never before and even the Greens and UKIP are hopping on that bandwagon. The latest poll on this issue has the minor parties on 18% where they previously only attained around 9%. Why are they not cashing in then? Everything Labour touches turns to rust and eventually dust - they are wholly incapable and fully incompetent when it comes to running this country and even the French could probably do a better job. We have sold of our electricity grid to them (EDF) so might we not follow suite with our government as well?

On a more serious note though, the Tories are not being honest about what they are going to do and certainly, probably, do not know what they are going to do. But most importantly they are wholly oblivious to what we want them to do.

Recall this poll, posted a few days ago. According to it Defence and Armed Forces, Immigration, Relationship with Europe (I presume they intended for this to be the EU since we seem to have little problem with the 47 nation entity that entails 'Europe' but are in a world of trouble when it comes to the 27 nation conglomerate known collectively as the EU) and Unemployment.

If we look at two of these areas one-by-one I think we will get a very clear picture of how the Tories, by this time in 2013, will be as despised as Labour are now. Any Tory supporters feel free to oblige me on the erroneous points I am, perhaps, about to make.

Unemployment: They will roll out a massive programme of apprenticeships. That sounds good but quite where are all these apprenticeships going to come from? The manufacturing sector only accounts for 12% or Britain's Economy and if you think that lads of 15-18years are going to be content with working in a boutique as part of their educations you are sadly mistaken. Boys are boys, presumably they will be given a choice as where to get their apprenticeship then? What about girls then? Well, if we are to believe the government's demonising statistics the problem makers are the white middle class boys ergo there wont be any problem with the girls. That seems to be the current orthodoxy at least. Lord Mandelson said something, for a change, clever, he figured we ought to start building 'stuff' again. Quite right Mr. Mandelson. What is more there is enough coal supply left to supply the nation for another 600 years. Dig the damn thing up, process it, invest in clean technology and burn it. Mr. Cameron would never do such a thing of course because it would piss of the Greenies and interfere with the housing schemes being built where the old coal mines once stood (there are a 1 million empty homes in London alone, what is that figure nationwide, why must we destroy the Green Belt when there simply is no need?)

Of course there is the elephant in the room which no one ever discusses. I was speaking to a Polish friend the other day and he was saying that he could not believe how tolerant we are in this country upon which I went into a tirade of why this was, connecting it with relevant pieces of history showing why extremist parties have had such a hard time (until now) in the UK. He went 'aha' and only concluded that if 2 million Brits had flowed into his country the equivalent of the BNP there would have got a majority and formed a government. What this little analogy is to purport is that immigrants do take jobs and if the government has a back-up plan to find jobs for the domestic youth then that is fine, problem is of course that there are not nearly enough jobs to go around since there is no back-up plan. We get the regular government pundits telling us that immigrants are not stealing jobs and how they add lots to the economy. This is another one of those common sense areas where it simply is not worth the time and energy listening to what the government has to say on the issue. You must have balanced immigration or quacks like the BNP start to rise up and demand to be counted. This ties nicely in with the unemployment issue in that people will be unemployed if there are not enough jobs to go around and haranguing the leader of the BNP on the BBC is not going to help particularly if the entire show is patronising the person whom more and more people are, wrongly in my opinion, starting to associate with.

Immigration: As the above paragraph hopefully showed there is a problem with immigration in this country in that it is far far too high. The tories propose to put a cap on these numbers yet they refuse to tell us what that cap might be set at. 10,000 or 100,000 we just do not know why they are completely untrustworthy on this issue. What is more they have not said if they are going to end the practise whereby immigrants are allowed to bring their spouses and children into the country after having settled down - a practise banned in every single european country but which the Labour government lifted in the UK in 1997, presumably as part of their plan to create a "truly multicultural Britain". What of the illegal immigrants then? There are as many as 1,000,000 - 2,000,000 illegals who bring absolutely nothing to this country at all. Going by what Boris said they will all get an amnesty if he were in command. Then we have the asylum seekers who Baroness Warsi so haphazardly told us was a legal term. Quite. However whilst she might be content that it is a legal term having reminded a man with a Law degree (Nick Griffin, and I know we should not take him seriously but we will damn well have to start to unless we want BNP MPs in the HoC - get of your lazy arse PC buts and write something constructive to aid the debate against the BNP instead of ostracising me for having reminded you that while Nick Griffin may have some pretty dodgy views he is not a stupid man) that was so, she seems to have forgotten what the 1951 Geneva Convention has to say on the issue. It says that an asylum seeker must seek refuge in the first country he/she passes through on his/her escape. Well Britain is at the end of the world as far as they are concerned and there is a whole swathe of countries between us and wherever they are coming from. They are by that token illegal asylum seekers who are preventing the truly desperate ones from reaching the UK and getting help. Why are they coming here? Simple, we have a very cushy benefits system where asylum seekers get £40 a week for their abode - an astronomical sum in some countries. If you want a really good analysis on the judicial aspect of them system please go here.

If you think I am telling you all this because I am cold-hearted capitalist scum you are wrong. I am telling you this because we cannot help people anymore who really need British help. What will the Tories do about all this? Nothing, everything they have proposed so far smacks well below average for they might lose voters in their quest to make the UK a better place, why they refuse to make the tough choices. Which is why I will reiterate my diktat time and time again; the Tories will not win in 2013 but neither will Labour - the oligopoly on British politics has ended.

The world according to Americans

The Albion Alliance

I you kept your ears and eyes screwed on for the past few days you will have heard about the Albion Alliance which seemingly is only an internet phenomenon as of yet but perhaps they will spring forth and become one in the myriad of 'pseudo-think tank/cross party alliance -thing-ish' which act to purport a united front on an issue. Good for them I say and good riddance.

However, (there is always a 'however' if you are British and a 'but' if you from the American school of ambivalence) the Alliance was formed to bring together people from all parties who want a referendum on the EU. Though this is good news surely they could have made a better job on their webpage which looks like a drunken monkey made it. My blog looks better - and that is not being conceited that is just the honest truth (and this is basic template with a few tweaks). Appearance matters particularly if you have the Guardianistas and BBC-mongs breathing down your neck. They will pull you apart piece by piece and convey to the deluded public that you were the ones who were in the wrong for wanting a referendum on something as trivial as the EU - stupid people! Ignorance is strength did you not know? And that is that Fraser Nelson over at the Spectator has some interesting thoughts on this whole EU caboodle - well worth the read, I am more inclined to agree with the comments to the piece though; no real change in the UK's relationship with the EU will come as long as Cameron is PM.

Get your act together before the Guardian does its "take" on the Albion Alliance which they are destined to say is 'doomed'. If you read my previous post however you will see that the reality is another and the EU is becoming an election issue. Splendid I say to that. As Ceasar would have said on this issue, "alea iacta est".

UPDATE: Having received a very courteous response form Mr. Higham of the Albion Alliance I should let it be know that I wholeheartedly support the endeavour and will offer my services as far as they go. This post was merely intended to give warning of the immense power of the MSM. To put Mr. Higham at ease possibly it should be reminded that 'a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has'. The only problem of course being that we are not a small group anymore.

The EU does matter, apparently

If you want some proper analysis of the EU then there really is no other place than EU Referendum - if there is something Dr. North does not know about the EU then it is not worth knowing.

We see on another note that the EU issue is quickly becoming a voter concern, contrasting nicely with the pundits on ConservativeHome who claim only a rogue 1% of the nation (that would be you and me who actually read the papers and reports coming out from Brussels) actually give two hoots about the EU. Well, I can comfort you that according to PoliticsHome that 1% is woefully out of date, where 31% strikes a better chord with the pulse of the electorate. That said though only political nerds (like you and me) actually read what it says on PoliticsHome. According to the website they weigh it by a country wide party ID so that it accurately reflects the country wide opinion. I cannot but wonder if that is true...

Einstein was clever but...

“As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable”

A sovereign nation possesses great power because of itself and asks not beyond itself safe for the safety of its own people - at least that is the optimists simplistic view of the world. The pacifist will share it as well. The rest will realise that reality is not as rose tinted. Power must stay with the people for they alone are the final check on the executive's power when its ends start to justify it means, as is the current situation.

Which leads us to dreary prospects of wars - the necessary evil if you will. I have been noticing a lot of blogs lately positing widgets and posts suggesting exit strategies from Afghanistan. Yes, soldiers are dying there in obscene numbers thanks to our insane government. We cannot get away from that until we get a new government. However, say we give these bloggers the benefit of the doubt and we do withdraw from Afghanistan? What then? What was the point of the ultimate sacrifice for the soldiers? But even more so what will happen once the America, Britain, Canada and the Netherlands leave (countries which are actually doing something constructive unlike Germany and France which have their troops posted up north were there is precious little fight, at least not on the same scale as down south)?

Imagine a far away land completely left to its own devices, close to a lot of questionable and rough nations who would happily flog the people a couple of tons of weapons for a quick buck with no regard for the consequences. A far away land which has been seemingly at war for the past century is to be left to its own devices again. If we leave the country will destroy itself from within and will take others with it and there will a Tesco of Fundamentalists ruling the country again but this time very much stronger, spurred on by Islamic fanatics from around the world. If we leave we truly have lost the plot and this has been said about many a wars previously but this one we simply cannot afford to loose. If we lost the Falklands that would not really matters but loosing Afghanistan... The prospects are horrific.

Sports and Sovereign Decline

Have you ever thought about this very curious relationship? Britain is really going to the dogs, we top most bad lists in the world for being the worst, be it knife crime or teen pregnancy. Yet during Labour's disastrous and treacherous handling of this country for the past 12 years there seems to be one thing which has improved: British sport. We are doing extremely well in most things, yesterday heavy weight champion of the world, British. Or take the Olympics we were the fourth best nation in the whole damn thing. I am not terribly into sports I must admit but I thought this a very curious coincident which could not be passed over.

An analysis of the EU policy

One cannot propose that I have uttered the most intelligent of words on the recently announced EU policy for the Tory party. Certainly I exhumed my great dissatisfaction at the blatant non-functionality of the entire ordeal which currently functions as 'policy' for the party, and in the process was castigated at the Crème de la crème of Tory grassroots movement; Conservative Home. I have explained why I see no fault on their behalf for destroying my person, after all they are trying to win an election so who could blame them, alas we shall not dwell deeper into that little chestnut. Yet in my book, whitewashing lies and contradictions of geopolitical proportions is, well, just not very clever. The lie might have travelled half way around the world even before the truth has got its boots on, but eventually the truth-with boots-will catch up much like tortoise eventually caught up with the stroppy and arrogant hare.

As such Mr. Cameron has kicked the EU issue into the long grass as it currently stands and the eurosceptic majority of the party have accepted this, for now. They have accepted, erroneously in my opinion, that a major clash with the EU will do nothing for their chances and assuming that the leadership really is eurosceptic (which I highly doubt) then they must have made very careful calculations as to what their future policy on the EU might be. Sure it is a great soundbite to say that 'never again shall power be passed to the EU without a referendum' - it sounds great, it really does, but it is a soundbite with a clever calculation. It assumes quite rightly that most people have no idea how much power Brussels already has and that there is simply not any real power left for Brussels to get once Lisbon comes into force on the 1st of December. Most people are not well versed in EU law - how could they be? They are not familiar with the principles of 'engrenage' (gearing of power) nor the principle of 'Acquis communautaire' (the power which has been required by the EU stays with the EU). And one cannot blame them either for these are remarkably boring and difficult concepts which only a few master; eurocrats, bureaucrats and eurosceptics not politicians (if that were so then phrases like "British jobs for British workers" could have been avoided).

Cameron's policy is thus naive and quite foolhardy for he knows that his policy, as it stands, will not work - he cannot claw back powers for that would require the explicit consent of the other 26 nations (QMV system). This is on the same scale as the Lisbon Treaty not being the Constitution; everyone knew it was yet the government kept denying it. Well, Cameron and co. will be the government in a few months time and they will be challenged in one years time at the very least, as to what has been going on with their EU policy. We will see that all the bullet points in the policy; the referendum pledge on future powers, the ratchet clause approval of parliament before usage, social and employment law recall and the reversal of 'acquis communautaire' were all in vain. He has also said that if his demands are not met he might hold a referendum on something - this something is the very core of this post for that 'something' could turnout to be far worse for the Tories than what they now think they have cleverly dodged.

If Cameron had given a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty he would have a strong position to go to the EU with. With his grand standing respect for EU Law ("It is law, we cannot stop this treaty as little as we can stop the sun from shining") he could have used the same principle for himself, if not all 27 nations have ratified the treaty it cannot become law. Labour ratified the treaty but the British parliament runs on the long standing and very much respected tradition that no parliament is bound by another; what Tony and Gordon did is not law for David. What is more nations nearly always only pay lip-service to the treaties they sign in the name of their people. The USA withdrew from the anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2001 - certainly a lot more important for global peace than the Lisbon treaty. Repudiating a treaty is a real act and not inanimate as the leadership appears to think. Yet Mr. Cameron does not have enough 'chutzpah' to pull of such a move for he might in all his haste upset someone and that he could not bring himself to do, now that he has relaunched the Tory party as 'Compassionate Conservatism'.

This is as sure as day follows night; Dave cannot accomplish any of the subclauses of his EU policy. It is not possible and the other member states will not stand for it. Hence he will, if we are to take him for his word (the irony...), have to hold a referendum. But, and this is critical, what would that referendum be on? The Lisbon treaty? In or Out? Multiple Option referendum (In/Out, Rejoin EFTA, status quo, full EU membership, Schengen and the Euro and other possible options)? This person's humble opinion is that anything but a wholesale referendum on the EU is futile. We need to know where we stand if we are to be assimilated into another nation, if we consent then fine I will lay down my sword and go with the flow but if we reject this proposal then 'out' must mean out.

For now Mr. Cameron has dodged the issue, it is for another day, but while he is quietly gathering his powers to win the election, the eurosceptic faction is growing very much stronger as well and is only helped by the Tory apathetic position on the EU. As Mr. Cameron is ignoring the issue right now one day when he does find himself without options he will have painted himself into a corner. He does not want the UK to adopt the Euro (see their manifesto if you bother to take it for its word) yet QMV of Brussels tells him that we have to. Or we do not want to be part of Schengen yet QMV of Brussels tells him that we have to. If he has such respect for EU law than he will either go with what Brussel says and face annihilation back home or he will need to call a referendum on the UK's very untenable position in the EU. Unfortunately for Mr. Cameron he has now exercised all options but one, the one who's ultimate fate lies with Westminster and not Brussels, the one which is feared more than the plague and even Tony Blair, the one true question which will require the PM to have balls of Titanium to pose; Do we stay in the EU or do we rule own destiny and future? That is the question.

War memorials desecrated every week

On an EU note, Janet Daley has it that

"Germany and France – two countries with sound historical reasons for distrusting the instincts of their own people – were the founders of this enterprise"

No you stupid woman it was founded by a British civil servant and a dodgy french bloke called Mr. Monnet. How on earth is the EU to be taken on if our "commentators" cannot even get its history right?

More, a request to readers; does anyone have a poll or something of the like taken after Cameron's U-turn on Lisbon on voting intention for the GE? The Conhome has one which states that the party has not been hurt by the u-turn, but it being on Conhome makes it about as useful as a square circle.

Holy Schmoly

Sorry chaps for taking a pause from the very important issue of our country's future. But, hopping on the superficial bandwagon this is just too cool. Miss England is a soldier - for all this government's fuck-ups including HM Opposition, they could not rob us of our peculiarity. I am now a proud Englishman/British again. Whereas most nations produce some sloppy 'Head and Shoulders barely-legal-teenager with boob implants' who hasn't done an honest days work in her life, the English come up with a foxy solider (yes I know some of the other contestants were equally impressive but that is not the point). That, my friends, is very honourable.

Thank god we are still sexist, the world without beauty competitions is one I do not want to inhabit.

Annoying facts for dying New Labour and reviving Blue Labour

New Labour have shut down 122 Magistrate Courts and 22 County Court Houses since 1997. Just thought you might wanna know. If you are a Tory supporter I thought you might want to know as well; know that your party wont do anything about it.

Excellent

I can announce that I appear to be universally disliked over at Conservative Home. Excellent. Must be utterly annoying when a stupid little student keeps opposing the party line.

I am sure that the antagonists wont honour this blog with an appearance yet I would be delighted if they did. Tea and biscuits for everyone.

Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue; they support the laws before destroying them and are always seemingly helped by the people who think the tyrant works for them. By pure deus ex machina, it would seem, history repeats itself.

Cameron Speech

1."We will amend the 1972 European Treaty to give the British people a 'referendum lock' so that no further powers can be given away without their consent. This will be similar to what the Irish have."

Pointless. The EU does not need the consent of the UK Parliament or The People of the UK (to whom Sovereignty, which the ruling political class has so cravenly ceded to unelected unaccountable foreigners, belongs) to assume whatever powers it chooses to seize. Lisbon gives them that power. A UK Sovereignty Act will be over-ruled in a trice by the ECJ and will be a toothless, cynical, meaningless gimmick.

2. "Our manifesto will give us the mandate we need." This avoids any risk of the unpleasantness of The People gainsaying the Ruling Political Class. And in this way WE (because WE know better) will decide for The People what they really want in a way which makes it really really easy to weasel out of our promises.

3. "Parliament will have to approve any use of the Lisbon Treaty's ratchet clauses that can take more powers by stealth."

Its too late. Lisbon gives EU full primacy over UK law. If the EU decides to utilise this power, nothing Parliament does can trump EU law. Its over and time people understood this.

4."We aim to renegotiate control of social and employment laws, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and criminal justice policy." And if they refuse, what, pray, is Plan 'B'? Send a gunboat?

5."European integration must not be a one way street. We aim to establish the principle that powers can be returned to nation states as well as given up." And if they refuse, what, pray, is Plan 'B'? Send a gunboat?

6. "I know that some people want us to go further but Britain is facing the most serious crisis in the public finances. Addressing that will be a Conservative government's top priority." Now thast you have told them this, they will use the distraction thus provided to utilise to the full their new powers. By the time you get round to the EU they will have grabbed a whole lot more power.

7. "During questions Cameron says he will use accession negotiations and budget reviews to press his negotiating demands"

If Cameron does not play ball, the Euro Nabobs will simply alter whatever rules they need to dispense with his consent. The power of Provincial Governors to hold anything up is essentially nugatory.

The Euro Nabobs will take one look at this and fall about laughing. Never has such a large white flag been run up before battle is joined. They now know Cameron does not have the guts or moral fibre to take them on and will now do as they please when faced with such a Paper Tiger.

Remember: the Sovereignty of the UK belongs not to the Leader of the Tory Party or to the Conservatives. It belongs to us: so give us our country back!

"The electorate does not care about the EU"

Really? They do not do they? Strange then that the Lisbon defeat is the fourth most viewed item today on the Telegraph homepage.

UK in EU; a voice in the world

Here is a counter analogy to the monstrously distorted logic in the title of this post, provided by one of the innocuous users of Conservative Home.

Does Katherine Jenkins believe joining a choir gives her a stronger voice? Or does it just dilute her voice and take away her star quality?

As such, today the real battle begins. The electoral commission seems to think that it has struck gold with its effective destruction of UKIP. Their logic goes something along the lines of "if the real eurosceptics have no eurosceptic party to represent them they will note vote eurosceptically" massive cock-up there in the logic I am afraid. Who is worse news for the electoral commission than UKIP? (Hint: it is a three letter acronym)

Cameron U-turn and that picture...

Dizzy makes an extremely good point about this election campaign advertisement as issued by the Tory party. How long before other parties start using but with Cameron's face instead?

On a more happy note though, it is great to see that Britain outside the EU is actively and seriously being discussed now on blogs and the MSM. Hopefully that will turn into a proper national discussion.

Update; I seriously hope Cameron gets his act together, read some of the comments on newspapers who covered the story so far - every other comment is one saying something along the lines of 'that's it I am voting UKIP/BNP'. The EU is a very big issue for most people even though the MSM constantly asserts that it is not - they would wouldn't they? It is the same with immigration, they kept claiming that the British were all chilled out about that noodle, well that came back and bit them in the ass did it not? 12 years of New Labour have set in motion a trail of thought, I reckon, that presents itself in such a way that the electorate will not be taken along for a ride, not again. After 12 years of New Labour they will be dead certain that they get what is says on the package.

The Grand Prediction - it is catching on

I take it that most of you who follows my musings and rants have read my grand list of predictions for coming political history of the UK Well they are catching on. Here is a comment from Benedict Brogan's blog:

I hope you are right about Cameron, but I can’t make myself believe it. Cameron thinks he will be able to dodge the EU question forever because he believes at heart that big, centralising government (ie the EU) is such a good thing that no one could possibly disagree. The best hope for conservative values is that UKIP draw enough votes to deny Cameron the keys to number 10. We suffer five more years of Brown, but we will have the same policies whoever wins so that is no loss. As a result of his defeat Cameron will lose the leadership of his party and probably defect to his natural home in the Labour party, taking the Cameroons with him. Traditional Conservatives and UKIP will join forces, perhaps calling themselves Conservatives, perhaps not. The EU sceptic/small government party that emerges will go into 2015 (because Brown or his replacement will hang on until the last possible moment) ready to fight and win a victory that will actually change something. Given the mess they will inherit they will be vilified for a generation, as Thatcher is, and for the same reason – the left prefer to blame the doctor for administering strong medicine rather than the disease of socialism itself.

I actually wrote to Hague suggesting the plan you outline in your final paragrtaph, but never received a reply.

As William Rees-Mogg has it

Historically, Britain has repeatedly wrecked European empires; they defeated Spain in the 16th century, royalist France in the 17th and 18th, and Napoleon in the early 19th. Britain outside Europe might again become a factor of division inside Europe.

Not to mention the Germans in WW1 and the Germans in WW2. I think we are heading that way again. It might be pertinent to add an 'if Cameron does X' - Cameron will not be the person who takes Britain out of the EU. 'Simples'

UKIP Protest

UKIP is seen as a protest party, a party to vote for if you want to protest against the main parties' policy on the EU. I officially announced my intention to vote for UKIP months ago and ConservativesHome's assertion today only reinforces that decision, the one that clearly states that DC wont give a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. There was never really a chance to be quite honest that the noble knight in the form of Mr. Klaus could hold out against the might of the EU, with little or no help from the Tories, who apparently were on his side.

DC's policy appears instead to be a manifesto pledge to renegotiate key powers... You wonder why we vote for UKIP? If the Tory party cannot even comprehend the EU raison d'etre then surely there is no point in voting for them?

The EU's raison d'être is to get power, not just a bit of power; as much as it can possibly get its hands on. That is why it exists they want nothing less than a United State of Europe. Why people refuse to read about Monnet is beyond me but suffice to say it is a pointless exercise to have a discussion today about the EU with the lefties or centries - they still think it is a benign trading block with no strings attached. My mother blatantly refused to believe me when I noted apropos the Royal Mail strike, that there is a EU directive which states that national post services are to be privatised by 2010. My mother is a highly educated woman with loads of degrees from this and that university yet for all of that she has no comprehension of the real power of the EU. This is a uniform trend, until people start to understand what the EU does to nation states there will be no wholesale renegotiation of our position within the EU.

As for UKIP they are mostly yet a single issue party and will have to become serious soon if they want to be a fourth force in British politics. They are protest party still and my vote they have for I shall protest (I know this contradicts one of my earlier posts about voting). Also I am fully aware that they will most likely not get a single MP but that is not what a protest is about. A protest is about principles and mine have been severely undermined by this dishonest government and HM Opposition. Who have the audacity to take voters, like myself, for granted who think our support is unconditional - rest assured it is not.

The UK Independence Party believes that the UK should withdraw from the European Union and that our membership should be replaced with a genuine free trade agreement similar to those enjoyed by other non-EU nations such as Switzerland, Norway and Mexico.

We want friendship and free trade with our European neighbours – not political union.

Jobs

Our membership of the European Union is already costing jobs in the UK. Major construction projects now hire many of their staff overseas, with British workers not even having the opportunity to apply. This not the ‘British jobs for British workers’ the Government promised.

Immigration

The only people who should decide who can come to live, work and settle in Britain should be the British people themselves. We can only do this outside of the EU political union. The open-door immigration policy has been voted against by only one party – UKIP.

Trade

The UK has one of the largest economies in the world. We are an international trading nation, not just a European one.

The European Union is designed to meet the challenges of the 1950s, not those of the 21st Century. In the global economy in which we now live, we should not be focussing on the insular regional trading blocs, but opening our arms to trade with the rest of the world, starting with the Commonwealth.

Agriculture & Fisheries

When Britain joined the then Common Market, the price of membership was handing over control of our agricultural and fisheries policies and the surrender of our fishing grounds.
This has proved to be an ecological disaster, with common European policies driving farmers to financial ruin and devastating the marine environment around our isles.
Leaving the EU will allow us to regain control and put British interests ahead of European interests.

The EU Constitution

The British people were promised a referendum on the EU Constitution, now the Government has reneged on this promise.

The original constitution was rejected by voters in France and Holland. The Lisbon Treaty, which is the European Constitution in disguise, has been rejected by the Irish in a referendum.

The Government is determined not to allow your voice to be heard.

A vote for UKIP is a vote to say ‘No’ loudly and clearly. It may be the last chance you get.
UKIP is committed to a free, democratic, independent Britain which is governed not by the faceless bureaucrats in Brussels but by our own people through our elected Parliament at Westminster.

We believe that British taxpayers’ money should be spent on British taxpayers, on their schools, hospitals and pensions.

Just imagine what we could achieve if the £15bn cost of our membership of the EU was spent here, rather than being lost on fraud and corruption in Brussels

"The Democratic Process" ha ha ha ha ha

I just had to show you this if you had not spotted it yet. According to the Guardian

"The British National party is close to finalising a pan-European alliance with other far-right political parties that would allow them to tap Brussels for hundreds of thousands more euros and greatly increase their power in the European parliament.

Anti-fascist groups have expressed grave concerns about the formation of the Alliance of European National Movements, warning that it threatens to undermine the democratic process." (my emphasis)

No you did not get it wrong it actually says "the democratic process" I shit you not.

La La Land

Good on Calling England, this wont be a literary comprehensible post - far too late for that and far too much wine for that. A list is in order:

• Protection from Harassment Act (1997),
• the Crime and Disorder Act (1998),
• the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (2000),
• the Terrorism Act (2000),
• the Criminal Justice and Police Act (2001),
• the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act (2001),
• the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Extension Act (2002),
• the Criminal Justice Act (2003), the Extradition Act (2003),
• the Anti-Social Behaviour Act (2003),
• the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act (2004),
• the Civil Contingencies Act (2004),
• the Prevention of Terrorism Act (2005),
• the Inquiries Act (2005),
• the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act (2005),
• Identity Cards Bill,
• the Coroners and Justice Bill,
• the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

And to return respect and character to our parliament we need to turn these pieces of paper into fags to be lit, once again, in our pubs and make people responsible for their own decisions.

• Constitutional Reform Act 2005
• House of Lords Act 1999 (Can you tell me with a straight face that hereditary peers could be any worse than the current?)

What a supreme fucking cock-up this country has become. Fret not though I will stay on fighting to the bitter end for in my own, very intoxicated, mind I am the saviour of Britain. I want to go out strong so here is a quote from Wuthering Heights spoken by Heathcliff

"The tyrant grinds down his slaves - and they don't turn against him , they crush those beneath them."

Chilling that this was written well before Orwell and Huxley by a little lady by the name of Emily Brontë in 1847.

(Also note that few people read what I write. I reckon this is because the logic of what I write is too intricate for anyone to understand except for, well, myself).

So out of tune...

We all know that our politicians are hopelessly out of tune with public opinion so also the MSM but few could have got it as wrong as Arch-Twat David Aaranovitch...

"Migration can enrich us economically and culturally. But politicians are not brave enough to put the positive case"

Has the man been on holiday for the past few weeks, unfamiliar with the BNP acronym are we Mr. Aaranovitch? Look at the comments dear reader I daresay you will find one which is positive of Mr. Aaranovitch's comment (I did not).

For the record between 1997-2007, a net 2.7 million immigrants (ONS figures however and as such government figures which cannot be trusted) were let into the country of those roughly 500,000 were from the EU and the majority of which can be expected to return. These figures do not take into account the illegal immigrant figure nor the 'asylum' seeker figure (with apostrophes since international law states that anyone who is seriously at threat from foes in ones home country must seek asylum in the first country he or she enters when fleeing. Britain is the last fucking country in Europe and then you hit the Atlantic Ocean! Is it not amazing that they all manage to somehow avoid; France, Germany, Turkey, Spain, Austria, the Ukraine, Russia etcetera - I know that these countries have their fair share of asylum seekers as well but none have as liberal asylum laws as the UK where you as an asylum seeker can expect £40 a week for your troubles, a small fortune for most asylum seekers). If you want a full analysis of what has really been going on I suggest you read this.

Then of course we have the ignominious Baroness Warsi who pointed out to Nick Griffin last week that 'asylum' is an actual legal term. Not wishing to blow Mr. Griffin's trumpet, for the man is very strange but he has a law degree and knows, as do most of us, that 'asylum' is a judicial nomenclature which is being manipulated and exploited by people who simple want to come here for the country's very generous benefits system. By doing this of course they are sidelining the people who really are being persecuted by the deranged regimes of their origin, people which the UK could with all likelihood help with great success were we not flooded with simple crooks who do not have the common decency to work. I am a student, I work, why must I pay tax to people who do not care for anything but themselves? Tax which could have helped war-ravaged minds who need serious professional help from the likes of the NHS and the FCO. But instead that money is used to feed the system which our politicians are too pathetic to reform it to an end whose means could help asylum seekers from countries like Bonker-Burma or Irrational-Iran.

Why?

Addendum: For those of you who did not know the literary device of using three dots or '...' is called an ellipsis.

Albert Burgess

What an epic tale...

And you gullible little Guardianistas/FT think that this will all go away once Lisbon is passed? It will grow like nothing you have seen before, the 40-50% who want out now will grow to 60-70% and then to unity. Eventually someone will have to listen; representative democracy only works as long as we trust people to represent us. Suffice to say they are in very hot water as it stands and no "Parliamentary scrutiny committee" can do anything to rectify what it took 300 years for previous ministers of the Crown to build and nourish: 'trust'.

Tony Blair might become President of the EU - so what? We do not trust him.

David Cameron might become PM of this country - so what? We do not trust him, unless he proves us wrong in all his assumptions about him.

I should campaign to become president I reckon. The first thing I would do would be to close the damn thing down.

Why bother voting anyway?

+++NOTE you have to listen to this whilst reading this piece if you want to understand the full meaning of it!+++

The choice is between a Labour big government socialist bent on self enrichment or a Tory big government socialist bent on self enrichment. All the important decisions are now taken in Brussels anyway, making voting a pointless charade.

Writing these short soundbites is obviously a pointless exercise since they bring nothing new to this world which no one did not already know. It does serve the purpose of revealing and displaying the feeling of sincere apathy and helplessness in one who previously believed in Great Britain but now finds himself wondering what there is left to believe in? The tourists come here and marvel and our great palace that serves as Parliament, gaze in awe at the fantastic building housing the 'Supreme Court' (ignorant of its short but black history) and comment upon the flashy Neo/Gothic/Victorian building which is Portcullis house. They fly away again quickly as they came with a sense of greatness of Britain - 'what a marvellous country, such democracy such fine people etcetera.'

They do not know the dark truth that lingers beneath all the make-believe faces that dispose a sense of wellbeing amongst the population. You say that most people do not care about politics but they do care about their country, for everything they do or say influence the way in which Britain moves forward, that is the circle of life that encapsulates humanity. You can cut the frustration with a knife that is the full extent of the problem encircling all echelons of society today. But they cannot do anything about it for whoever they vote for will not do what they wish; reduce immigration, retain and expand public ownership, remove the shackles of the EU and reduce the size of the state. The Tories wont do any of this as little as Obama did few of the things he promised whilst on election parade.

People are despairing and extremism is the politics of despair, pity that our masters cannot see history repeating itself until it is too late. When they have acknowledged this they will chant of course that they knew this was coming yet little did they do about it. 'England expects' they will say drawing disgusting parallels between themselves and Lord Nelson but we will only reply 'what, tell us what we expect, what is your take on the Vox Populi Mr. Government - what?'

My two cents? ('as if the past thousand cents have not been enough you utter twat' you say) Thank god for Newton's Third Law. I have not doubt that I am far too inconsequential to be on the governments' 'watch' list but I am certain that a fair few bloggers are. What makes me happy in the end is that the people always win. It might take months, years, decades but we always win in the end for you cannot stop a uniform force who have a generic idea of the way we want to live our life. Ever stopped to think why the British are honoured with the bulldog? It is lazy creature, eats a lot and sleeps a lot, it can be unbelievably cuddly and compromising if it wants to, rarely if ever losses its temper even if you shout at it, scream at it or even push it around - it merely yawns and turns the other cheek. But it will only be pushed so far before it bites. We have yet to bite we are still at the sleeping stage but we are surely being pushed around, pray that those forces know when to stop.

Martin Bell knows how to write

I ripped this from Daniel Hannan's blog but it truly deserves to be reproduced everywhere. On the EU

They have given us into the hand of new unhappy lords,
Lords without anger or honour, who dare not carry their swords.
They fight by shuffling papers; they have bright dead alien eyes;
They look at our labour and laughter as a tired man looks at flies.
We hear men speaking for us of new laws strong and sweet,
Yet is there no man speaketh as we speak in the street?
Smile at us, pay us, pass us, but do not quite forget:
For we are the people of England; and we have not spoken yet.

By Martin Bell.

Little Englanders

There are plenty of French and German domestic equivalents of 'Little Englanders'. They're just not ashamed of it. Only we Brits do the fabulous double act of enforcing unpopular EU rules on ourselves and enjoying self-abasement whenever a streak of non-conformity hoves onto the horizon.

Poltics and Spotify

I am not entirely sure if ye older readers are aware of the amazing software this is Spotify, if you are not I sincerely suggest you increase your musical horizons for it is quite useful. Anyhow some of you who do use the service might know that a couple of days ago the tories started to air their adds in between the songs. They state the obvious of course; sensationalist soundbites which they hope will encourage younger people like me to grasp the seriousness of the situation and ergo vote for the 'right' party which naturally is the Tories.

Before I go into why this is so monumentally stupid let me just remind you all where they Tories got their name from. The name originally applied in the 17th century to Irish Roman Catholic outlaws and bandits who harassed the English in Ireland. In the reign of Charles II the name came to be applied as an abusive term to supporters of the Crown. The word comes from the Irish word 'toraighe' which means 'pursue'. Which is quite apt seeing as the official name of the party is the Conservatives but I am seriously starting to ask myself what on earth are they conserving? The Great British pub? The superb armed forces? Centuries upon centuries of history which have laid the foundation stones of Britain today? (no they wont repeal the smoking ban and actually make people responsible for their own actions, no they are going to cut major defence projects and troop numbers, they wont repeal all the ridiculous constitutional "reform" acts which have beset the past two decades and have utterly destroyed parliament as we once knew it)

As such you might wonder what this has to do with Spotify? The person explains how Gordon Brown has created a massive debt for the country. We know this, it is hard to miss. Yet it is not as if Cameron's, Howard's or Major's tories have not been complacent in destroying this once very great nation (with or without empire) - look at the Tory voting record in Brussels for example they nearly always voted in favour for giving more power to Brussels at the expense of national parliaments. This was during the EPP time and you might say that that will all change because Cameron has pulled the party out of the integrationist leviathan. Bollocks to that, look at Cameron he is Tony Blair with flaky hair no different at all. He is winging on the referendum, he only pulled the Tories out of the EPP so he would win the party leadership. He does not care about being Blair's lapdog - as little as Blair cared for being Bush's lap dog all those years ago.

Policies? Stick another logo on them and they might as well have come from LibDem HQ or Labour HQ they are that similar. This leads you to believe that while Brown is utterly disastrous as a leader and minister how on earth will Cameron be different? He has not character and appears to be basing all his policies on the whims of the media and not of the people - they may be the most ludicrous of whims but that is what representative democracy is all about: to represent the electorate for that is the power you have been given ON LOAN.

While Mr. Cameron might think that he is being progressive (I do not know how the fuck he ever could have got that into his head but rest assured he has) by introducing all women shortlists he is doing precisely the same wishy-washy lovey-dovey stuff that the Labour government of the past 12 years have done. We see through you and believe you are a utter twat for even considering putting gender before experience and merit. The same goes pretty much for all their policies, immigration for example - yesterday it was confirmed what we all knew that mass-immigration was a political decision not economic (look as the HoL's report on the matter), Tory response: a cap. Well hoo-fucking-ray why not introduce something cheaper which has a proven track record instead? Exit checks, why oh why are they so bad and politically incorrect?! Is it such a crime to know who is actually in the country?

Centre politics is politics without principle and it is always bollocks.

Question time, commenting on it like everyone else-but shortly

Rarely have I found myself feeling sorry for Mr. Griffin for I do not support his very strange views nor his party's policies. It was quite clearly shown that the BNP's views are at best 'odd' but the whole Question Time arrangement was a complete farce. Regardless of what you think of the man, he was outnumbered by the entire audience including the host and the rest of the panel. Is that a way to hold an impartial and unbiased debate on politics?

No, I truly felt sorry for Mr. Griffin tonight not as a BNP spokesman, not as a racist but simply for the ubiquitous gang-up he received from every angle, where there was not even an attempt made by the BBC to conceal the whole orchestrated charade that tonight passed for 'debate'.

The Grand list of predictions - add your own

In election times such as these the coming months will see a lot of predictions as to who will win the general election '10 and what kind of majority they will get and so on. This is only to be expected however I want to make a more long term prediction of my own, one which I think people will share (I hope) at least moderately. The year 2010 to 2015:

1. The Tories will not win the General Election in 2015 under David Cameron for he will have comprehensively proved that he was nothing other than Tony Mark II and the Tories nothing but BluLabour. This is proved by recent events showing precisely what kind of government we can expect; no Lisbon referendum or why not all-women shortlists or take the privatisation of Royal Mail. They will not be any different and what is more no party in power is ever eurosceptic.
2. Daniel Hannan will most likely leave the party as he will probably realise during the coming 5 years that the Tories under Cameron do not represent his views (the views he has come to demonstrate thus far). What he would join instead I cannot say.
3. Ibid. Douglas Carswell and probably David Davies as well.
4. The BNP will rise with an alarming rate as the main three continue to mute themselves on issues which actually matter to the people; EU, Defence, Immigration, Law and Order, Corrupting welfare, Expensive and Unreliable transport, Violent schools, Unaffordable houses, high taxes and overbearing government. Mr. Cameron will find that it is extremely convenient for him to keep the status quo on most of these issues once he enters Downing Street, of course making it difficult for him since he has promised reform on pretty much every area.

This list will be added to, naturally, five years is a long period and there are a lot of predictions to make but the above four seem plausible, at least to me. I suggest Dave gets another row model other than Mr. Obama, socialism a.k.a. New Labour has had its day in this country.

Nicely Put

"the British tendency to only wake up to a problem at the 11th hour"

I can think of no other words which so precisely underline what it means to be British. WW1 or WW2 are perfect examples of this. Whilst he Commons are utterly wrecked and so is the UK under the EU we will get back most likely. Really what is says about the UK is that it is a perfect example of the law of nature which states that 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction' - works for Physicists and will you know it, normal people as well.

An admission

Mr. 13th Spitfire has to make an admission which most likely will reveal some of he anonymity which he holds so dear - hopefully not to the extent that people will know who he is.

I am a student.

There you have it the sole reason for my being so utterly absent from this blog and its few but valiant readers who take a moment of their, most likely, very busy day to read the thoughts and comments of one who is not yet even a comparable figure in matters politics and history, to themselves. For this I say thank you and hope that my absence has not opened the flood gates to exit for the previous readers of this blog.

But rather we must ask ourselves what on earth is happening in British politics today - has the country gone utterly mad? The BNP, it appears are, as popular as ever, the Tories are transcending into what we always knew they would; BluLabour (they think positive discrimination towards women is a good thing whereas experience and meritocracy are to be shunned) and the LibDems and Labour are as infantile as a muffin - which is always good news.

What will come of this then? We will most likely see only one term of Mr. Cameron for he is displaying all the same qualities as Tony Blair and the latter is not exactly a popular figure in the UK. Probably a second term though for the Tories but under a new leader most likely Boris Johnson, Osbourne or perhaps David Davies. Definitely a leadership challenge.

HRA

Wrote an article for a paper today about the Human Rights Act 1998. It is bloody amazing how people cling to its name and allows for the argument ' well it is called HUMAN rights act so it must be good' - Mandela was responsible for killing several people using high explosive yet he is held up as a beacon for all that is good in this world. The problem with lefties is that they cannot get past their own bull shit but believe to the extent that they become dogmatic in its favour. They refuse to acknowledge that they are wrong, that they were wrong all along and cannot take advice from anyone not even fellow socialists. That is why Brown and his government are in such deep trouble (well, that and that their entire government is a heap of lying bastards).

1951 Britain signed the European Convention on Human Rights
1960 British citizens could for the first time bring their cases to the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights)
1998 The Convention is signed into British law
2000 the Human Rights Act is fully implemented
2010 the Human Rights Act is scrapped for being utterly useless in protecting normal people but being spectacularly good at ring fencing criminals.

On a low

Dear small contingent of readers. Writing and posting has been very sparse as of late but rest assured it will resume to its previous mighty standing in a few days.

In the meantime I am just going to laugh and laugh and laugh because frankly the EU is utterly screwed in this country. I give it a minimum of 10 years left in the UK. Don't believe me read these and then what will happen if the Tories turn our to be just Blu Labour.

Milliband to be EU Foreign Minister if Blair is blocked

Tories are ready for war if Blair becomes president

Tories will not ban hunting (what on earth has this got to do with the EU you are thinking, those people who want to hunt are exceedingly rich and exceedingly anti-EU)

Boris warns EU to keep out of the City (Most people reckon including myself that Cameron is Blair Mark II thus the most likely contender for his post once Cameron is gone is Boris, he does not like the EU).

Something is a float....

I have remarked before on how there is something very sinister going on in the shadows with regards to Tory EU policy. I just read a comment over on Hannan's blog which read

"We’ll find ourselves shoulder-to-shoulder in the “No” campaign when the time comes. But don’t give up on Klaus yet. As the German ambassador to London told his French counterpart in August 1914: “You have your information; we have ours”."

What information do they have which we do not? Why were all Tory MPs called by Tory HQ and told not to comment upon the Lisbon Issue (according to Gerald Warner)?

As much as it pleases me to see that the Tories at least have a Plan B despite Cameron's "one policy at a time" nonsense, I cannot help but feel that this is a just a rehash of New Labour's government. Where seemingly all decisions were taken by a small clique and 'sofa-government' was the norm with no minutes taken whatsoever. Is this the kind of government we can expect from the Tories with or without the Lisbon Treaty? Regardless of the EU this will not go down well with the electorate. We want transparency, we want democracy and we bloody well want our dignity back.

I do hope Dave obliges or he will only be a 'one-hit-wonder' Prime Minister.

I like this chap, most of him

This chap David Lindsay sounds very reasonable bar his defence aspirations (he wants to remove all nuclear, radiological, chemical and biological weapons from British soil and waters). Most of his policies I agree with. Hope he gets elected.

"I have real conservative and patriotic policies. Restoring the supremacy of British over EU law. Returning to preventative policing based on foot patrols. Making each offence carry a minimum sentence of one third of its maximum sentence, or 15 years for life. Restoring grammar schools, restoring O-levels, restoring excellent secondary modern schools, and defending and restoring special needs education. Introducing a legal presumption of equal parenting, restoring the tax allowance for fathers, and allowing paternity leave to be taken at any time in the first 18 years of the child’s life. Helping farmers and small businesses through a windfall tax on the supermarkets. Defending village services, saving shooting and fishing, repealing the hunting ban, and making Gypsies and Travellers obey the same planning laws as the rest of us. Preserving the historic regimental system, rebuilding the Royal Navy, and saving the Royal Air Force."

Good Man!

The Supreme Court oppened but FFS at least make an effort

So the new Supreme Court opened today and replacing the ancient law lords who have served the country extremely well at Tesco price at that. However this is now gone thanks to our dear old friend Tony Blair. Amongst the many things, apparently, which the court would do was to bring it into the homes of the ordinary people. Fat chance.

Lord Phillips has hailed the new court as an opportunity to bring to the public the workings of the highest court in the land. However, journalists were told there was no room at the opening so the event was broadcast live by the Court's own team. The Court's own team wont have any bias at all of course. What is even more worrying is that the new Supreme Court had a whole theater built solely for the purpose of citizens and journalists. Who the fuck was sitting there?

FFS at least make an effort.

The EU gets KLAUStrophobia

Nothing to add, I just thought it pertinent to add that the EU has (Klaus)trophobia. It must be tough only having control over 27 countries, it can become a bit boxlike at times when you cannot exert your full will on the people without them complaining. 'Bloody serfs in their bloody kulaks...' we hear the elite muttering.
