You voted for it.

You did. You might not accept that you voted for it, but by your votes in many countries, you also voted for a continuation of the ever-more dictatorial rule of the European Commission, the Council of Ministers, along with the ever-expanding hand of the bureaucracy which rules and dictates how we live our lives.

What am I talking about?

The latest poster from Brussels holds, alongside the Cross, the Crescent, the Star of David and many other symbols of our world’s religions, the symbol which, apart from any other; signalled hate, despair, intolerance and ruthless dictatorship.

I give you, Europe4All, the poster for the new Soviet States of Europe!

As Mike has noted below, the decision by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee to award the Nobel Peace Prize to the EU, is truly surreal. I thought I might share a few images of the tranquil peace the EU has brought to Europe (Oh, and do NOT mention NATO, it was clearly fear of Brussels that kept those Soviet tanks away during the Cold War)…I offer you Greece, Spain and Portugal…..

This proves that the Norwegians have a great sense of humour.

Will former Lib-Dem leader Paddy Ashdown be proven correct?

Britain is now ‘irretrievably’ on course hold a referendum on membership of the EU, Paddy Ashdown warned Nick Clegg today as the party sought to defend its pro-European credentials. Former Lib Dem leader Lord Ashdown insisted he was a ‘passionate’ European and still hoped that Britain would one day join the euro single currency.

Yes, you read that right. Paddy wants to see the UK join the basket-case Eurozone that is currently falling apart. That is his most sincere wish! Let’s leave  aside THAT particular instance of seething liberal madness and focus instead on whether a referendum on our continued membership of the EU will ever happen. All the main political parties are nervous of giving the British people this opportunity to express their opinion on this issue because we might say the wrong thing and reject our continued membership. It seems to me that the likelihood is that even if we are granted a referendum the devil will lie in the detail of the question. The question should be simple; IN or OUT. I doubt we will get that and instead there will be massive positioning exercise instigated against the British people with the intent of keeping us in euro-servitude.

Pete Moore has already alluded to this in several of his posts but I want to draw your attention to a monstrous CON that the Cameron Conservatives are trying to pull on those who would vote for them. In essence it comes down to suggesting that IF people vote Conservative at the NEXT election THEN there MIGHT be a referendum of SOME sort on our relationship with the EU!!!

Yes, as banal as that – as deliberately insubstantial as that -and yet it is being assiduously sold to the sheeple as the brave new world. The summary position is “Live old horse and you’ll get grass”.

I listen to a lot of discussion about what would happen if there was to be a Referendum on the UK remaining in the EU. You should read this interesting analysis from Tim Montgomerie over at Conservative Home, he makes a lot of good points.  Even IF there was a Referendum, and even IF the question was phrased as an IN/OUT – don’t assume an OUT result would be obtained. With all three major political parties committed to the EU in one form or another, with the Celtic fringe countries slavishly pro EU, with big business and much of the media pro EU, it is debatable if popular discontent could be translated into a definite OUT vote.

Let’s be clear; I am 100% in favour of an unequivocal OUT of the EU. My reasoning is that our continued presence in this emerging anti-democratic tyranny with a broken currency and a deadly demographic  is incompatible with our sovereignty as a NATION. I want to see the UK take a Swiss or indeed a Norwegian position. The best position for our future as a proud and independent country is to remove ourselves from the EU – but the political class are determined to make us stay in it. That in turn raises questions about THEIR motivation; why would politicians seek to see the UK turned into a hollowed out sham of a country with laws made in Brussels? Now that is worthy of another post.

“You couldn’t make it up” says Farage, but with Brussels you never need to. An epic rant informs us that Italy is funding the Spanish bank bailout at 3% by borrowing at 7%.

Genius.

The global power elite is going for it.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is calling for countries to give up more powers to Europe ‘‘step by step’’ and says a ‘‘political union’’ is needed as leaders prepare for a closely watched summit later this month, reports the BBC.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel says the EU needs a political union even if it means some countries integrating faster than others.

Speaking on German TV, she called for “more Europe”, including a budgetary union, saying “we need a political union first and foremost”.

“Step by step we must from now on give up more competences to Europe, and allow Europe more powers of control.”

This is pivotal. The likes of Merkel do not speak out of turn. She is signifying that central planning will become mega-central planning across Western Europe. Just over twenty years from the Soviet Union collapsing, the power elite wants to do it all again.

BBC radio presenter and Today journalist Jim Naughtie, in France on 1 January 2002, spoke of: …a sense of occasion, a genuine excitement, a sense of peculiar new notes, a sense of change in the air especially among young people, a sense of breaking away from the past.

TUC general secretary John Monks noted that it would be “disastrous” if the UK Government failed to follow suit and hold a referendum on the single currency.

Peter Mandelson took the opportunity to warn that “staying out of the Euro will mean progressive economic isolation for Britain.”

Another speaker from the supposedly impartial BBC, the State Broadcaster waxed lyrical about “As the midnight hour approached, a giant inflatable tree blossomed into life. For once the Ode to Joy seemed exactly the right tune.”

Yet another BBC man stated “Walking up the Champs Elysée with its sparkling Christmas lights, towards that most French of national monuments, the Arc de Triomphe, you get the feeling that this is a country very much at ease with this latest engagement with Europe.”

What strange and fantastic item had been born, to bring out the paeans of joy from, well, all the usual suspects? It was of course the European Single Currency; the Euro.

So have we seen ‘economic isolation’ for this small set of Islands, set a mere twenty miles away from the European ‘Behemoth’? Nope!

Has it been disastrous for the United Kingdom to keep our own currency? Not really.

While it is true that most of our Laws come now from Brussels, at least we can still pay our own debts, even if we pay them a little behind schedule!

Check out Peter Oborne’s little pamphlet about The Guilty Men, and see if you agree that we have been badly served by many.

Many things have been written and spoken regarding the many failings of Gordon Brown, In fact, if they were all shuffled together, they would probably form a rather large book. But the one redeeming stance taken by Gordon Brown sets him up as possible the most unlikely saviour this sovereign Nation has ever known.

I refer to the decision to block any possible move by Blair towards joining the Euro.

Knowing the ‘Comrades’ and their beloved ‘Projects; as we now do, is it likely that Brown himself foresaw this, which is why he nearly resigned in order to prevent it?

As the old card game saying goes, “Read it and Weep”, for there are many in or adjacent to power today who still believe that the Euro is the only game in town!

Nick Clegg becomes more irritating by the day. A few days past. the Home Secretary Theresa May suggested that the UK would put in place emergency measures to stop a tide of EU immigrants flooding here should the Euro collapse. I doubted whether she COULD do this effectively  but it seems a sensible enough idea. The Deputy PM is having NONE of it..

When Alice met the Red Queen, the latter advised her to believe in six impossible things before breakfast. It seems that the Red Queen must be a political consultant  to the European Union when one reads this sort of madness this morning;

“We want Greece to remain in the euro area while respecting its commitments,” European President Van Rompuy told a news conference in Brussels.”

Greece has made it abundantly clear that it cannot and will not  honour it’s commitments so how can it remain in the euro area, Mr Van Rompuy?

It can’t.

Greece is heading for the exit, the “Grexit” as some call it, and NO amount of EU waffle from the Belgium Van Rompuy can disguise it.
