The Lisbon Treaty Could Trigger War

The Lisbon Treaty, when ratified, could trigger a class war in Europe.
When the people of Europe realise what their politicians have done to them there is likely
to be a revolt.
The possibility is that this revolt when coupled with the poverty and deprivation of a continued
recession could turn into a class war comparative to the French Revolution.
The corrupt political elite in the UK and the EU have not taken enough care with new legislation and considered the multiple repercussions of implementing it.
The result is likely to be that a whole raft of restrictions on the EU working classes which will lead to a buildup of resentment, strikes and when they realise that there is no legal escape route, an uprising, leading to the overthrow of the corrupt EU bureaucracy

EU Takes Advantage of UK Governments Distraction

Richard Lambert, the director general of the CBI has indicated that the EU is intending to unleash a raft of regulation while the Labour government is distracted by internal feuding.
“The level of distraction in government could result in long-term and drastic damage to the economy,” he warned. "Britain finds itself at what you might call a burning platform moment," said Mr Lambert.
"We can either take the bold steps that will be necessary to take us forward to a prosperous but different kind of future. Or we can pretend to ignore the need for change, and risk going down with the ship."
He added: “Instead of focusing on this big picture, politicians appear wholly preoccupied with what's going on within the Westminster village, and in doing what they can to strengthen their own positions over the short term."

City Battle with EU

As Europe's leaders prepare to strip Britain of ultimate control over finance, insurance, and securities, defenders of the City have begun to talk darkly of the nuclear option – known in EU lore as the "Luxembourg Compromise”, withdrawing officials from Brussels.
Britain cannot veto the massive shift in regulatory power to Brussels now under way. Internal market laws are decided by qualified majority voting (QMV).
What Gordon Brown can do at next week's EU summit is to play the Luxembourg card by invoking "vital national interest", if he is willing to risk a showdown with fellow leaders.
"This is an extremely serious crisis," said David Heathcote-Amory, "Once we lose of control over the City of London we will never get it back, and the consequences could be catastrophic.

EU Pension Fund Collapses

A leaked decision note from European Parliament President Hans-Gert Pottering has revealed that taxpayers will have to foot the bill for an estimated E105 million (Ł120 million) shortfall in the European Parliament's controversial Pension Scheme.
The scheme is facing a gap in funding due to the collapse of the stock market and investments reportedly related to the Bernie Madoff scandal in the United States.
After the European Parliament elections in June, UK MEPs are set to receive a pay rise of over E15,000. Under new rules to be introduced under the next session of Parliament, MEPs will no longer have to receive a salary equivalent to national politicians, but can opt for a salary of 38.5% of an ECJ judge's salary.
This works out as E91,980 annually, which is worth over Ł80,000 at current exchange rates because of the collapse in the value of the pound. This is up from the Ł64,000 current salary, and represents a pay-rise of 22%.

Europe Minister Caroline Flint admits that she has not read the Lisbon Treaty

During questions in Parliament, Europe Minister Caroline Flint admitted that she had not read the Lisbon Treaty.
Following a series of vague answers on the implications of the Treaty for European defence, Shadow Europe Minister Mark Francois asked, "Has the Minister read the elements of the Lisbon Treaty that relate to defence?".
Ms. Flint replied, "I have read some of it but not all of it." She went on to say: "I have been briefed on some of it."
As well as leading calls for the Treaty to be ratified, back in December, Caroline Flint claimed that the Irish voted 'no' due to "misunderstanding" of the Treaty.
Mark Francois responded saying, "It's wonderfully honest of the Minister for Europe to admit that she hasn't actually read the renamed EU Constitution.
It's not every day that someone will admit they haven't read the most important document for their job. Her astonishing admission does leave some questions.
How does she know if the Treaty's good for Britain if she hasn't read it?
How could she lecture the Irish that they'd only rejected the Lisbon Treaty because they didn't understand it?"

New Hurdle for the Lisbon Treaty

The German Constitutional Court has handed in a new complaint on the EU treaty, possibly delaying Lisbon's entry into force
EUobserver reports that Germany's Constitutional Court has been handed a second complaint over the Lisbon Treaty, with the potential to delay the country's final ratification of the document for several months.
The authors of the complaint say that "a prognosis on European integration given by the country's constitutional court in a 1993 judgement on the Maastricht Treaty - which paved the way to the euro - has turned out to be false,.
As instead, EU integration has been characterised by continuous breaches of the stability pact, a presumptuous over-stepping of power by the European Commission, unaccountable leadership and dissolution of the separation of powers".

EU to Steal British & Dutch Oil & Gas Reserves.

MEP's are calling for the creation of a European gas reserve, made up of British and Dutch supplies, which member states can tap into in the event of any future shortage.
The transfer of ownership would be enacted under the clause of the Lisbon Treaty which gives the EU the power to "ensure security of energy supply".
According to the paper, in a closed-door meeting with high-ranking EU politicians, Commission President Jose Barroso called for a "mutualisation of energy stocks" and said it was vital that member states show "solidarity" with their partners in eastern Europe.
He added that he would soon have the legal authority to take over control of energy reserves under the Lisbon Treaty.

Sarkozy Wants Access to GCHQ

EU plans for a European CIA would force Britain to share security secrets.
This would threaten Britain's national security by forcing GCHQ to pool its intelligence.
France and Germany are pushing for the sharing of security secrets and far greater integration between national police forces to tackle terrorism.
It led to fears that the U.S. would stop sharing important security secrets with the UK because the European Union has such a problem with leaks.
A Home Office spindoctor said: 'Under European law there is no question of the UK being forced to participate in measures it opposes.'

Czech President on MEPs' visit to Prague

"I have not experienced anything like this for the past 19 years
I did not think anything like this is possible.
I thought it was a matter of the past that we live in democracy, but it is post-democracy, really, which rules the EU. You mentioned the European values.
The most important value is freedom and democracy. The citizens of the EU member states are concerned about freedom and democracy, above all.
But democracy and freedom are losing ground in the EU today."

Unhinged MEPs Bully Czech Parliament

British & German MEP's have threatened and bullied Czech parliamentarians including insults to their president, verbal abuse and the threat to cancel their presidency of the EU.
They also threatened to hand their presidency over to France if they didn't ratify the Lisbon Treaty.
A speech from Danish MEP Hanne Dahl triggered a rage from the German conservative MEP , Elmar Brok.
"Not only could he not constrain himself from outbursts during my speech – he also followed me around shouting terms of abuse at me, "
The delegation was to meet with the Czech Parliament, Senate and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
During the meeting with representatives from the Czech Parliament a Liberal British MEP
said that he did not think that the Czech Republic could take over the presidency, if they had not ratified the Treaty.

Caroline Flint: The EU & Pizza

Obviously it's a difficult choice when ordering a pizza to decide which toppings to have.
But with pizza you usually get what you pay for.
Unlike the EU which hasn't got any of the product labels defining weight, cost or content that it requires of every other business.
The EU specialises in spicy toppings, tangy chilli sauce, sometimes known as fraud.
The politicians of Europe have conspired to push through far reaching political changes without any democratic controls and without any democratic vote.
The politicians of Europe have conspired to steal our taxes, pay themselves inflated wages, extortionate expenses and secure life long pensions.
And what for? So that they can promote their own business interests.
They refuse to debate any of the issues with the electorate.
They have even managed to silence the BBC from debating the EU issue.
They have instigated a control and tax regime on the electorate that will not restrict themselves one bit.
They enforce laws on the electorate while allowing themselves legal immunity.
They don't have to pay all the bills and taxes that they have piled on to us.
They stand strong together defining the future when the future of the EU is a figment of their own misguided lives.
If any of the MEP's had read the Lisbon Treaty they would know that they had killed off Democracy and created an Autocratic State.
A state with no dictator and therefore no direction.
A bureaucracy that breeds its own expansion and propagates its own existence.

I am an EU supporter.
I support the ideal of a united Europe combining into a single state.
I do NOT support an unelected EU State without democratic controls.
The Labour Party ran away from making the case for the EU.
It failed to give us or parliament a full debate on the subject.
It failed to give us a referendum on the subject.
It destroyed the democratic rights of every individual in this country
When it broke its electoral promise on the EU.
The politicians think they are so much cleverer than the electorate,
That they can over-ride our wishes because "they know best"

They have failed to protect our sovereignty, our armed forces, our banking system, our energy resources and our foreign policy.
All this power has been given to Brussels plus Ł12Billion a year of our tax
To a corrupt political system that hasn't been able to sort out its agricultural policy for the last 20 years.
A corrupt system that has failed a financial audit for 14 years.
What kind of political system decides to cancel the referendums to stop it losing the vote?
A dictatorship.
The Labour Party voted us into an Autocratic EU State
Gordon Brown likes to say that he is learning from each experience. Well so are we.
We have learned that the politicians who broke the banking system cannot be trusted.
And that the EU is a club that the electorate have been excluded from.
It is a club for politicians who live in a freebee world.

European Republic Expanding

There are currently 16,980 EU laws and regulations in force in the UK and they are increasing at a rate of 2,000 a year.(TPA)

Financial Meltdown - October 2008

EU- The European Union

A club designed by politicians for politicians and bureaucrats for their own benefit.
Formed with the intention of creating a unified labour market large enough to compete in the future world economy and strong enough to stand alongside the other major economies.
But diverged into a dictatorship increasing taxation and controlling the European electorate by installing an undemocratic bureaucratic state.
Has become obsessed with controlling the population with petty regulations made up by Brussels bureaucrats who are not part of the democratic process.
Shows complete disregard for democratic principles and continues to thrive within a corrupt and fraudulent system.

UK Government votes against transparency for EU legislation;

The EU transparency bill which would have required Ministers to declare, on the front of every Bill and regulation,
whether it is the result of an EU decision. was voted down, with the Government whipping its MPs to oppose it.

MEPs Claim Money for Nothing

European Courts Jurisdiction Contested

The German Federal Constitutional Court at Karlsruhe is considering whether EU law is superior to German law.
The cause of the problem is a complaint relating to the Mangold Judgement, in which the European Court (allegedly) broke several principles of EU law.
"The European Court consciously and systematically ignores the central principles of western judicial legal interpretation: decisions are carelessly justified;
the will of the legislator is turned into its opposite and legal maxims are invented, which it can then later use as the basis for its decisions."

The Irish Problem

The French government fears that the longer a second Irish referendum is delayed, the greater the likelihood of the Treaty being scuppered by Britain under David Cameron.

The 2007 EU Charter

Friday August 31st2007

It appears that the unelected Mr Brown thinks that he can break his parties election pledge to give the country a referendum on the 2007 EU Charter.

Many of the recent negative changes in our society can be traced back to EU directives.
Our prisons are overloaded with foreign nationals who cannot be deported.
Our borders are porous to immigration from the Asia & Africa.
We are being swamped by the new EU nationals from Slovakia, Poland & Romania etc.
Our housing market has been thrown into chaos by the introduction of Home Information Packs (HIP's) by the EU.
Our judges cannot jail terrorists without infringing their human rights.
The disposal of our rubbish has been reduced to one collection a week and the introduction of recycling bins is likely to end up in us being surcharged.
Our army has been starved of equipment and resources to fight in Iraq & Afganistan because of our commitments to the Eurofighter & EU rapid response unit.
EU directives should have been a balanced process which showed some British influence and our international power kept in tact.
And then of course there are the EU taxes about which we are told nothing and the decision to stay out of the Euro zone. Is the Euro likely to be sneaked in as well?

These are all discussions that should be analysed at length yet all discussion so far has been stifled.
So who is likely to benefit from the introduction of this EU charter? It certainly won't be us.
As we have already seen. it's all to do with providing a more powerful trading block so that our companies can compete with the USA, Chinese and the Asian economies.
Improving our economy has not improved the finances of the poorest in our society. It has gone to the tax dodging company directors, the banks and the share holders. Our economy only benefits the rich and the powerful.

The unelected Mr Brown talked big about forming a government of consensus but that is all it is, just talk .
He will stand fast against the unions and the electorate and push this undemocratic EU Charter through at any cost.
A discussion of the issues, an understanding of the situation has not been allowed.
This has been sneaked through parliament during the summer recess.
We deserve to be treated like democrats, we are fighting wars to support democracy in other countries while we are loosing our own democratic rights.
This country was the mother of democracy. If this charter goes through without a referendum we will loose the freedom given to us in 1215 by The Magna Carta.
We will be governed by a faceless unelected corrupt and fatuous bureaucracy.

Support democracy in Britain. Support the call for a referendum on the 2007 EU charter.

EU Treaty - Noon Bites Back

9th February 2008

Geoff Noon, Labour chief whip is threatening labour MP's with withdrawal of the whip.
It is difficult to tell with the amount of corruption in parliament at the moment if the failure of the Labour government to allow the electorate a referendum on the Lisbon EU Treaty is just another example of financial corruption.
It is true that the financial benefits for business and therefore our double dealing MP's are likely to be massive.
Whether it is worth abandoning the electorate and any morals that they might have left in the hope that we will forget by election time is a pretty futile hope.
The fact is that this government will never win another election after selling out Britain to the EU on the cheap.
Every MP is now being targeted on line.
The smother of corruption unfortunately means that there isn't a party with a clean slate for the next election.

Lib-Dems Vote Against Democracy

21st January, 2008

Discussion in the House of Commons on the EU Lisbon Treaty was sabotaged today by the Speaker when he refused an amendment from 22 MP's calling for a referendum.
The Liberal Democrats have decided to support the government making it unlikely that the government will loose the vote.
Can anyone explain the Lib Dems position on Europe which is;
1. We would support a referendum on withdrawal from the EU.
2. We will not support a referendum on the EU Lisbon Treaty.

Democrats?

5th March 2008

After the appauling charade acted out in the House of Commons yesterday during the EU Lisbon Treaty debate
I think the Liberal Democrats should remove the word DEMOCRAT from their name.
They are a complete disgrace to the democracy movement.
I support the EU and the right to reform it through a democratic referendum.
To watch our members of parliament have a jolly joke, repeating lies, hiding partisan kinships, digressive arguments, time wasting diversions.........
It all looked so BAD. How you all carry on like this? Do you think we are all idiots and cannot see through your failings.
You abandoned the electorate when we needed you most.
You have destroyed the mother of parliaments with your stupidity.
You have failed Europe with your sneaky attempt to bypass the electorate.
Why do you think you know better than us what is good for the country?
Do you really think this is a good treaty?
We deserve better than this.
We want you to give us a treaty that we can be proud of..
Not this bodge up
Is the EU to be a European Union of States
or a European Union State.

Chirac

June 2004

The biggest asset that the UK Independence party have is the French president, Chirac.
Every time he opens his mouth he puts another nail into European Union coffin.
His opposition to the US/UK United Nations resolution before the war has caused untold damage to the situation in Iraq.
His humiliation of Tony Blair at the UN will always be resented in Britain.
The resulting fractricide of the European Unions foreign policy & integrated army is now a sad part of history.
As Chirac's egotistical pontificating leads the French nation into an idealistic ghetto, the C.A.P. & Brussels corruption continue to haemorrhage our taxes.
The British people are fed up with the decades of political failure in this country.
The inability to create an efficient; NHS, Education system, Civil Service, Local government, police force and asylum system while taking more & more tax is a failure for all our political parties.
The first step to control our politicians would be to refuse to pay the European taxes.
The next step would be to cut back the Council tax. and then to cut the cost of government itself.
Bureaucracy is a Methuselah which needs controlling.
We vote for democracy. We get bureaucracy.

EU Democracy

28th January 2008

Apart from the small matter of GB breaking an election promise and ignoring the basic tenements of democracy, the frightening thing about The Lisbon Treaty is that it allows the creeping creation of a "superstate".
GB could well find himself with no control over; foreign policy, the army, tax, the Bank of England, Law.
And all controlled by who? An unelected bureaucracy in Brussels.

Europe Surrenders.

15 February 2003

As tens of thousands of people march the streets of Britain Europe & America, Osama Bin Laden must be laughing all over his cave. Why wait for a Muslim uprising when the bloody Christians are going to self destruct and hand over their countries to us without a fight.

Naive & Stupid
All the peace protesters on the street would probably also let all the Afghani combatants out of the Cuban Camp Delta prison and let them roam the streets of Europe bombing at will.

Defence of the Realm
Blair may have lost the support of the people, but hopefully he has the moral conviction to carry this through. If we were now being led by the majority wishes of the Labour party we would not be facing up to Iraq at all. Without the US there would be no confrontation. Without the US there would be no UN inspectors in Iraq. Without the US there would be no problem . We would just be innocently watching TV as the fanatics infiltrated and neutralised our cities.
As France & Germany rabidly destroy the United Nations, Nato and the European Defence Force just for the sake of a bit of domestic political pouting, the future of the European Union itself is changing. With Chirac & Schroder trying to keep the power to themselves by carving up insider deals the other new nations of the EEC have spoken and given "old Europe" a bit of a shock. I don't think the French ever envisaged Europe as a real Democracy. Chirac continues to hold Blair by the neck at the UN for daring to out manoeuvre him. Obviously the French have learned nothing from the last world war.
History will remember their treachery and show Blair as a man of consummate courage.

Oil for Europe
Nobody will come clean about the fight for oil because it is an immoral cause. The facts probably are that the Arab fanatics have a masterplan involving grabbing the oilfields and holding Europe to ransom.
Saudi Arabia is particularly vulnerable. Maybe our leaders are being totally immoral in protecting our oil interests but do we really want to see Europe's industrial might brought to its knees and our economies destroyed. No one in authority would want to spell it out to the minions in the street for fear of frightening them and the money markets.
It's a balancing act, how to convince the populace without terrifying them.
Think back to the days after 9/11 and remember how close the western economies came to total free-fall.
In the Middle East there are millions of dissatisfied Arabs blaming the US and the west (including Europe) for their plight.
Maybe someone should have explained to us that if Al Qaeda can raise and train 10,000 Muslim fanatics to fight a war then the future of Europe looks less than healthy.
While the dictators in the Middle East continue to deprive their people of basic human rights, a healthy economy and a strong ideology, the world will always be unstable and affluent western nations will continue to be the targets.
Every dictatorship has a fledgling population of dissatisfied youth who are likely to become potential fanatical terrorists.
How many would we be willing to fight in ten years time if the situation didn't change?
