BBC Prepares for Tony Blair's Obituary

A very strange article appeared in the Daily Mail today!  It seems the BBC have been filming interviews for ex-PM Tony Blair's obituary.  Blair played a massive part in the on-going destruction of Britain by following the path of former Prime Ministers, signing away our freedoms to the EU diktats! Blair also allowed uncontrolled immigration whilst in office, to 'change the face of British society forever'.  He, with the aid of Mrs Blair, brought in the Human Right's Act, which has been widely used against ordinary citizens in favour of criminals, and he even repealed the Treason Act (did anyone ask him why? hope he confesses before his last breath!).  Not to mention his involvement with taking us into the Iraq war where there was no evidence of weapons of mass destruction. But at 58 is he about to die? well better ask the BBC, they've supported and fawned over the Nu Labour Party since the year dot, so they must know something we don't.  If he is about to pop his clogs, I suggest he's laid to rest in a nice field full of Wind Turbines with a tasteful metal plaque on his gravestone.  The plaque won't stay there for long though, as theft of metal is very popular and the thief needn't worry, it will be against his Human Rights to be locked up, Ken Clarke will make sure of that!

Top UK Business People Want Looser Ties or to Quit the EU, Whilst Smaller Nations Suffer as Members

According to the Daily Mail today a “survey of 1,000 of Britain’s most important business leaders found that 63 per cent want a looser relationship with Brussels.

That includes 42 per cent who would like to see the repatriation of some powers from Brussels to London and 21 per cent who would like the UK to withdraw from the European Union altogether.”  

Also found in the poll was the fact that the members of the institute of Directors  “overwhelmingly backed David Cameron’s decision to veto a new EU treaty.”

However this week it was reported that one chain of thought was that David Cameron would eventually sign a ‘watered down’ version of the treaty. Would this not still bring Britain even more under the control of the EU? Whichever way you look at it, if there is a reason to create another treaty there has to be further integration involved, or why bother bringing out another treaty at all?  As far as the member countries in the Euro are concerned, handing over the management of their individual economies to the European Commission just means that all countries could fail if the Commission gets it wrong, leaving the Euro nations totally helpless to sort out their own affairs.

After the insulting way that the Lisbon Treaty was described to the public before ex-PM Gordon Brown rushed to ratify it, i.e. Minister Keith Baz declaring that it would have no more impact than the child’s Beano comic! One wonders, if the new treaty comes about, would it be published in a simple layman’s language guide too, so everyone would know what it contained, as well as the official document version. (without a hidden agenda such as the  Lisbon Treaty had, which proved to be devasting to the UK’s policy making.)  Why aren't things transparent? If the new treaty is for the good of the EU countries' populations surely there is nothing to hide!

So people in high places are asking just why are we in this European Union? In fact RT.com reported this week that the people of Estonia are asking the same question, see video:

I'd like to know why we are still in the EU too, anyone want to let me know?

The EU Now Places Itself as the Future World Government

If anyone had any doubts about 'New World Order' no longer being a conspiracy theory (the aim of an elitist group of the very wealthiest people on the planet to introduce a global government, controlling the whole planet using one currency, one Treasury etc), take a look at this interview with Thierry de Montbrial on RT.com.

http://rt.com/news/eu-governence-model-montbrial-341/

De Montbrial sees the future based on the EU and the EU taking over everything, scary stuff!  The EU are now baring all and letting the world know that they were never just a trade organisation, they want world dominance!  The only trouble is they do not have the peoples of the nations they are trying to control backing them.  Interesting times ahead!

German Minister Guido Westerwelle Plays the 'Good Cop' to Keep Britain in the EU

We’ve been threatened by the French, they tried to bully us unashamedly, saying that the UK should be downgraded by the rating agencies and what remains our our rebate should be withdrawn to make us pay for vetoing the planned new EU treaty (which will be structured to take sovereignty's and democracy from the member countries bringing them finally into the tight control of the un-elected EU Super State, the purpose all along! individual countries will be no more.)  Well, shock horror, the European Commission are feeling the heat as Czechoslovakia and Hungary, followed by Sweden and Luxembourg cast doubt about signing the treaty too, as well as Ireland and Denmark having the distinct possibility of a referendum after PM Cameron refused to sign!

So a new strategy had to be thought up by the Germans and low and behold we got the ‘good’ cop ‘bad’ cop German Minister coming over to try to smooth the trouble waters!  Yes, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle appeared on the BBC this afternoon with William Hague.  Mr Westerwelle was as friendly as friendly could be, cracking a few light hearted jokes and telling us how much we are thought of and how we are good partners with Germany. Not only that, he didn’t discount Mr Cameron actually signing the new treaty in the future, stating that it is ‘doable’.  Doesn’t that just send shivers down your spine! They really won’t take 'no' for an answer will they, and if Mr Cameron backs down now with a few new concessions in place, signing the treaty entrapping Britain into this EU web, then he should think again, people are now fully aware that the UK and other member countries are sinking steadily into this quicksand of the nation gobbling monster the United States of Europe.  

You can catch the full video of Mr Westerwelle’s talk on BBC News http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16251589

However, Mr Weserwelle wasn’t all that pleasant about accommodating the British when he was asked a question in English  some months ago, see below.  A clear case of good cop bad cop when it suits him!

David Jason Doesn't Want the Fourth Reich for Christmas!

One of the Nation's favourite actors, David Jason, star of tv programs such as Jack Frost and the classic comedy Only Fools and Horses, has told the Daily Mail's Live Magazine "What I don't want for Christmas? A German Fourth Reich".  Apparently David has a passionate interest about World War 11, having filmed a couple of documentaries about the subject in the last few years.  In the article he states:

"I was a Blitz baby. My brother was sent to the country as an evacuee, but I was in the house with my mother getting bombed. The irony is that here we are, the world has changed, and the Germans want to run Europe. They failed to do it by war, twice. What is it? Is this the Fourth Reich?’
He can’t say that, surely? (says the interviewing reporter of Live Magazine)
‘I know,’ he says with that grin again.
‘I just said it. I’m only reflecting what’s been going on in the country for some time. We have more and more rules coming out of Europe telling us what to do, and I think people are getting a bit fed up with it. This was supposed to be a common market. I don’t remember them ever saying we would be governed by Brussels and become a satellite of Europe. But there you are. At least we’re not throwing bombs at each other."


It's nice that someone that the public has great respect for as well as being such a well known actor has spoken out about how he feels.  Read the whole article in the Daily Mail Live Magazine.  By the way Mr Jason has a new tv comedy series called 'The Royal Bodyguard', which starts on Boxing Day and promises to be something the whole family can enjoy!

Sadness at the News of the Death of Graham Booth

It was with great sadness that we heard the news that one of the founder members of the United Kingdom Independence Party and former MEP for the South West, Graham Booth, has passed away.  Mr Booth died in hospital on the 14th December after a short illness. UKIP leader Nigel Farage has issued the statement below:


"I am deeply saddened to hear overnight of the death of one of UKIP's greatest ever servants - former MEP Graham Booth. 
Graham served for seven years in the European Parliament and was a tireless party worker throughout the mid 90s where he brought the qualities of honesty, loyalty, hard work and a tremendous sense of humour. 
I will miss him and even his Jethro jokes. 
On behalf of UKIP, I offer my deepest condolences to his wife Pam, his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren."

A Message From Professor Tim Congdon

Dear fellow members of UKIP (and others concerned about the UK's relationship with the EU),

Mutual disillusionment has been a feature of the relationship between Britain and Europe for centuries. We sometimes talk of our ‘splendid isolation’ and they describe us ‘perfidious Albion’. David Cameron’s veto of the so-called ‘fiscal union treaty’ has created a massive problem for the other members of the European Union, if those 26 countries respect the existing treaties. According to those treaties, unanimity is required for the EU to encroach further on such a basic prerogative of the nation state as the power to tax. But all the signs are that the other 26 countries – although disunited on a host of vital institutional details – are united in their irritation with the British government for resisting another EU power grab. There has to be a possibility that the other 26 countries disregard the treaties. They may try to impose new arrangements, which are meant to undermine the British government’s right to determine our tax system and tax rates, and to collect taxes to be spent on behalf of the British taxpayer.

This would be, in effect, an invasion of our country. Sure enough, the invasion will not be conducted by means of warships, aircraft and missiles, but it would be an invasion all the same. Our EU neighbours must be made to understand that a power grab on such lines is unacceptable. They may be thinking of using the deplorable and obnoxious passerelle clause in the Lisbon Treaty, which would wholly bypass the views of the Houses of Parliament and the British people. The clause says that the European Council can unanimously decide to replace unanimous voting in the Council of Ministers by qualified majority voting in specified areas.

This may sound like gobbledygook. In fact, the passerelle clause is a mischievous set of words by which Eurocrats, and the likes of Merkel and Sarkozy, steal our country’s independence. They really do plan to replace government from Westminster and Whitehall by government from Brussels, Paris, etc. If push comes to shove, the British government will have to seek the support of the British people in a clear and emphatic expression of public opinion, probably in a referendum. If so, the Cameron veto may have initiated a process which culminates in our withdrawal from the EU. At any rate, it does seem reasonable to talk of the beginning of the end of our EU membership.

(Traditionally, a general election would have been called if the government could not do its ordinary business and command majorities in the House of Commons. The Conservatives and LibDems are now at each other’s throats, and the survival of the Coalition is in doubt. But – almost hilariously – since September 2011 the timing of UK general elections is determined by the Fixed-term Act, which says that elections are to be held at regular five-year intervals, unless the government of the day loses a Commons vote of confidence. Since neither Labour nor the LibDems want an early general election centred on the European issue, a bizarre prospect may be for Conservatives to side against the government in a confidence vote in order to expedite an election, while Labour and LibDems vote for the government in order to prevent an election!)

Two supporters of the UK Independence Party in Bournemouth, Alan and Marilyn Day, very kindly suggested filming a video of my thoughts on the Eurozone mess. It was prepared some days before the Cameron veto:

I am hugely grateful to the Days for their interest and support, and – if it goes well – we may make this a regular “fireside chat” slot for UKIP members. I should warn you that the video was unscripted and unrehearsed. The last few weeks have been so busy I did not have time to prepare it properly. All the same, I hope it is helpful to the wider cause and we will improve the production etc. with time. The video should be seen in conjunction with the two attached PDFs.

Thank heaven the UK kept the pound. And thank heaven that, ultimately, even a drip like ‘Cast-Iron Cameron’ understands that the British government’s power of taxation cannot be handed over to an alien bureaucracy operating in a foreign capital.

Great Guns from Nigel Farage as he Tells of the UK's Great Escape!

Miriel Reflects How the Majority of the British Public Feel

I was born during an air raid in the 2nd W.W.  I grew up with patriotism, rationing, there was very little money, power blackouts in the 1970's but also PRIDE in my country and respect for self and others. 

This country was made GREAT by the endeavours of our forebears, much to the jealousy,  chagrin and envy of Germany, France and other countries. WE built up systems that were the envy the world over in Education, our wonderful NHS, (started by caring Doctors), Finance and Pensions, Law and Order, etc etc. We have all watched the erosion of these superb systems.  We stood with the Commonwealth and won a war, not of our choosing, much to the chagrin of Germany and 'gratitude' of France. As one old soldier of the 1st WW stated- "going to war was not about killing or being killed, it was not a war for possession of a fortress or country but for FREEDOM OF DOMINATION AND THE UNALIANABLE RIGHT OF ANY NATION TO DEVELOP AS IT WISHED. This country has gone it alone before, it was GREAT before, it can be GREAT again! 

How do the doom-laden politicians explain the two richest countries of Switzerland and Norway, neither which are in the EU. Trading with, Yes! not IN. Why can we not trade with the commonwealth or any country  as we used to? 

Looking at Nick Clegg's pedigree I am surprised he even deigns to live in poor, li'l ol' Britain with it's 'misplaced sense of superiority and sustained by delusions of granduer'. (His words not mine)  With politicians like him no wonder we are where we are. 

Finally, I personally would like the assurance of every politician there are no private deals going on in secret which are based on us remaining in the EU.  Is this too much to ask?  

Can we please ask for the laws of Treason to be re-instated? We need them!

From a 'Proud to be British' grandmother.

Miriel.

Lord Monckton Sees Evidence That UN Plan To Press Ahead With Climate Change Court

The Telegraph’s Louise Gray, their Environment Correspondent, has written about the Climate Change summit in Durban:  See full story at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/climatechange/8948920/Durban-climate-change-last-minute-talks-produce-historic-deal-to-save-the-planet.html (extract as below)

"The United Nations (UN) climate change summit in Durban, South Africa looked certain to fail after India threatened to walk out. 
The emerging superpower was protesting against EU plans to force all countries to cut carbon emissions as part of a legally binding treaty. 
"As the talks overran into the second night it looked like exhausted delegates would have to give up and go home empty-handed. 
But in a highly unusual form of on-the-hoof diplomacy, the warring female ministers were forced to go into a public ‘huddle’ to find a resolution. 
The so called “10 minutes to save the world” resulted in a form of words both parties could live with and relieved applause from the other 190 countries present.
The new deal means that for the first time every county in the world is committed to cutting carbon – although the legal wording remains vague and the treaty will not come into force until 2020.
Samantha Smith, of WWF International, said the compromise had watered down the deal to such an extent it became almost meaningless. 
"They haven't reached a real deal," she said. "They watered things down so everyone could get on board."

However, Lord Christopher Monckton tells it the way it is on the Alex Jones Show.  In spite of the majority of the populations both in the UK and the USA disbelieving that carbon is causing climate change, the UN and the EU are pressing ahead to transfer wealth from the West to the developing countries for this 'unproven science'.  See Lord Monckton’s latest report below:

Nigel Farage Tells RT.News What He Thinks About Cameron's Veto

EU Want to Fine Britain for Restricting Benefits on New Migrants

There was an interesting article in the Daily Express on December 6, written by Macer Hall, the Political Editor: BRITAIN FACES EU FINES FOR BENEFITS BAN ON MIGRANTS.  See extract below: 

"BRUSSELS bureaucrats are threatening to impose swingeing fines on Britain over the Government’s refusal to hand out billions of pounds in welfare benefits to foreigners.

Ministers have rejected orders from the European Union to hand over Pension Credit, Employment and Support Allowance and other means-tested benefits to migrants from other EU member nations.

They fear the move could turn Britain into a magnet of so-called “welfare tourists” and cost British taxpayers around £2.5billion a year to pay for the handouts.

But the European Commission, the EU’s ruling body, yesterday raised the prospect of the UK being dragged before European judges and hit with daily fines until the order is complied with.

Laszlo Andor, the European Commissioner for Social Affairs, said: “We have asked the British Government why they insist on not implementing this measure, but so far we have not received an explanation.”

Last night, the threat of fines – potentially running into tens of millions of pounds – for failure to pay the benefits infuriated critics of the EU. Tory backbencher Peter Bone said: “It is absolutely absurd that the Government is being ordered to pay out benefits to anyone who comes into this country. Quite frankly, this is a matter that should be decided by this country’s Parliament and not some foreign court.

Emma Boon, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “It should be up to the British Government to decide who can claim which benefits. We simply can’t afford a complete free-for-all, especially not with an ageing population. 

“It is time voters were given a choice about what our relationship with the EU should be.”

The EU directive applies to Child Benefit, Child Tax Credit, State Pension Credit, Income-based Allowance for Jobseekers and Income-based Employment and Support Allowance.

EU chiefs claim that any EU citizens living in the UK should be entitled to the same social security benefits as Britons. And Mr Andor dismissed concerns about benefit tourism, saying: 

“The evidence might be very much inflated.”

But Employment Minister Chris Grayling has warned the directive could encourage millions of migrants to head to Britain to cash in. In particular, he fears that foreign pensioners could move to the UK to “top up” their state pensions through the Pension Credit system.

The British Government has already launched a legal action in the European Court of Justice to attempt to block the move.

The directive does not apply to benefits based on past records of National Insurance contribution such as the state pension."

(It's nice to see that some common sense is being used to defend the British people's hard earned money by refusing 'foreign welfare seekers' benefits on entering Britain.  Lets hope that the threat being made by the un-elected Brussels' diktats to fine the UK are also ignored, we shall wait and see if the government does actually dare to stand up for its own people in these times of cut-backs and austerity! - Janet Clarke, UKIPCornwall Editor)

Eurozone summit message to Cameron

The EU Can Be Humorous!

In spite of all the doom and gloom in respect of politics, people never lose their sense of humour, here are a couple of views about the EU and the Bailouts doing the rounds on the internet.  The only difference I would make to the bird cartoon, is to add another layer of birds at the bottom and label it as the European Countries' peoples!  Thanks to the leaders we are all in the deep stuff!

EVERYONE PLEASE PAY ATTENTION AND READ: HOW THE GREEK & ITALIAN BAILOUT WILL WORK IN VERY SIMPLE TERMS:

It is a slow day in a little Greek Village.
The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted.
Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a ¤100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.

The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the ¤100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the ¤100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the ¤100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.

The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the ¤100 note and runs to pay his drinks and food bill at the taverna.
The tavern owner slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit.

The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the ¤100 note.

The hotel proprietor then places the ¤100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the ¤100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works!!
