Ultimatum for UK on Prisoner Voting Rights from the European Court of Human Rights

The Gauntlet's down, time for an EU in or Out Referendum Dave

Do we need six months of  Make Your Mind Up Time? 
Dave’s physically sick as the European Court of Human Rights issues a six month ultimatum on Prisoner Voting Rights. No need to throw up Dave, all it needs is another question on the ballot paper of the AV referendum already agreed, just a simple yes or no will do.
  
  Stone me, what did he expect? The European Court of Human Rights owes no allegiance to commonsense. In crazy ruling after crazy ruling it spits in the face of Anglo-Saxon realism. Especially in this particular instance as it tries to overturn our parliament. This bogus outfit exists only at the behest of Brussels, to hide the peccadilloes of legions of nearly men and women, behind a smokescreen of bogus intent and fraud and to subvert the sovereign rights of our Westminster Parliament.

  How much longer do we need to travel in this parallel universe, staffed by people and so-called judges, chosen by no one knows who, for reasons that have yet to be exposed. It cannot go on like this, for we have an inalienable right to shape the society in which we live. It is a sovereign right and this court is out to usurp it. We need to end this seemingly insatiable assault on our sovereignty.

  As befits my continuing war on European Union I post herewith the statements and warnings of astute politicians down the ages as this Euro Dreamworld emerged into the harsh light of day to be visited on nations irrespective of the wishes of the public at large in the name of who knows what.

  From Lord Palmerston on:- 1784 – 1865.  Who stated quite explicitly:-  "Only three men in Europe have understood the Schleswig Holstein (West Lothian) question, and of these three, the Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's Consort is dead, a Danish Statesman unnamed is in an asylum, and I myself have forgotten."

  It is entirely possible that you have little or no idea what has been signed away in your name by successive UK governments, since we joined the European Economic Community in 1973 Various quotes by our MPs, (mostly men I might add though you cannot discount Lady Thatcher who realised long before any of her party and particularly those responsible for our entry into the EEC and subsequent negotiations) . . . exactly what was on the menu.
  
To really understand what has gone on during the last fifty years we need to go back to the early days:

 1963 in fact when the then EEC was dominated by France's General de Gaulle. A deal was struck with German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer - The Treaty of Elysée (January 1963)

 Konrad Adenauer:- 1876 - 1965 said:-  "Essentially this EEC is a trade- off; West Germany will gain international 'rehabilitation' and it will open up the market to German goods. France will have political leadership and secure financial support for French agricultural products." In essence the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was created.

This we now know is a pact that has dogged the reformation and reconstruction of EEC ever since, as it morphed into the European Union. Throughout this entire period of EEC/EU conception and development; this (CAP) has been the main stumbling block, as subsequent modifying legislation has been incorporated into the various treaties till they arrived at the ultimate defining Lisbon Treaty, the Constitution that dare not speak its name. 
 As far back as the early eighteen hundreds Lord Palmerston had no doubts about which side our bread was buttered:-

Jean Monnet:- 1888 - 1979 said:-  "Europe's nations should be guided towards a super-state without people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to a Federal Super State."

Peter Thorneycroft, British MP:- 1947 said:-  "No government dependent on a democratic vote; could possibly agree in advance to the sacrifice which an adequate European Plan must involve. The people must be led slowly and unconsciously into the abandonment of their traditional economic defences. "Not asked, for it involves changes which they may not at first be capable of recognising, as advantages."

 Although the statements listed above, which no one could be blamed for believing at the time, were merely statements of intent based on the best available evidence. It has become alarmingly clear that over the following decades, up to the present day, these statements bear out the original intent in ways that have been long forgotten. It confirms however, all that is happening as the people behind this movement push for the creation of a Federal United States of Europe in the face of overwhelming disdain from the electorate at large. No votes in France, Holland and Ireland are being overturned in national parliaments. That's the kind of dictatorship we fought to defeat in two World Wars.

So whoever or whatever are the forces behind this movement, to bind us all into a constitution by default, they must be defeated. Ireland, France and Holland have shown us the way and the democratic will of the people must prevail. Sadly I have to report that my bid to fight this from the inside, as an MEP failed miserably. So the fight goes on to the next UK Parliamentary Election for an opportunity to introduce a Private Member's Bill and an end this Euro Misery forever.

Watch this space, I'll be back!

Nick’s a winner in my book

What he did took courage and foresight

It’s not often I’d be inclined to spring to the defence of a Lib-Dem, but Nick Clegg has been pilloried by all and sundry for everything from broken promises to traitorous endeavour, for not helping the boy Gordie to carry-on crucifying us on his altar of hubris. But in the face of a slanted rich bitch interview, I am moved to restore a bit of  balance.

  What Nick did in helping to create the Coalition probably saved our bacon in more ways than one. For it got the international shylocks off our back and assured them we could find the cash to pay their juice, by making all the necessary noises they needed to hear. In addition, it took great courage and foresight.

  Whilst the failed politicians of new Labour could only stand on the by-lines carping at anything and everything they’d failed to understand in respect of balancing our national books. Had Nick taken notice of them, we’d have been in a helluva worse mess, without this redistribution of the deficit.  So instead of banging on about him being a loser we should be preparing a medal as big as a frying pan, for he deserves nothing less.

  But this apart, is anyone really interested in what a mega-rich playgirl has to bitch about or where she might have been in the pecking order, without daddy’s billions. 

Watch this space, I’ll be back!

So the Spaniards reckon they do not need a baleout

Tell me another one, just like the other one
How many times have we heard that one before, in modern times probably as far back as the day when Denis Healey as Britain's Chancellor went cap in hand to the IMF. Since 2007 as the credit crunch became a fact of life, we've heard it in most of the basket case economies of the EU and the UK very nearly became the daddy of all time, as the deficit deniers looked for a way to cling on to power.

  With the advent of a common currency for Europe, the Euro was born on the back of a stringent dictat, that no participant should borrow more than 3% of its GDP. Then they all went on their merry way bending the rules to suit themselves, in the mistaken belief that the Euro was bigger than the markets and if they got into trouble the rest of the Europhiles would bale them out.

  Never in modern times has anyone tried to buck the market in this way and so developed a battle of wits, the like of which we watch and wonder, as we await the final outcome. Inevitably it becomes clearer by the day, as the founding fathers of the Euro wriggle and squirm in their hubris and defiance of the rudiments of accepted monetary disciplines practised by the Money Markets, that a denouement is approaching.

   There will of course only ever be one winner and it is unlikely to be the ECB, when those who will not see are led by the nose, as sacrificial lambs to the slaughter.

Remember where you read it first and watch this space, I'll be back!
