Nigel Farage: EU Treaty Changes Mean A UK Referendum Is The Only Solution

  

European Parliament, Brussels - 8th February, 2011

Full transcript

Mr van Rompuy, one thing we can agree on is that treaties have dominated the history of this Union. Lengthy processes, solemn ceremonies, and then a new body of law and more power for the centre.

But of course there have been one or two problems, public opinion being one of them, and occasionally electorates voting against treaties, but none of that's mattered, you've got round all of that.

But Mrs Merkel has had a real problem hasn't she? Because article 122 of the treaty has been used for the bailout funds for Ireland and for Greece and it's pretty clear to everybody that actually the treaties didn't allow this, that it was illegal, and we all in this room know that.

So in the face of the four German professors taking her to the [Federal Constitutional] Court in Karlsruhe, she's asked you to change the treaty and that over the course of last week is what you've decided to do.

You have now established a permanent stability mechanism. Now that word in itself doesn't inspire much confidence to me and I think all you're doing is reinforcing failure and delaying the inevitable breakup of the euro. But nonetheless you've decided to change the Lisbon treaty.

Well there's another challenge to the treaty coming up. And you may not have heard, but in the UK in the last couple of weeks there's been a huge row over a European Court of Human Rights judgement saying that we should give prisoners the vote.

Now perhaps unsurprisingly the mass of the British public are totally opposed to the idea that prisoners should get the vote, and surprisingly Members of Parliament now feel the same way...

[Interruption]

Now wait for it, it's coming Mr Schulz, I promise you.

Members of Parliament are feeling the same way. And there's going to be a free vote in Westminster on Thursday night at which it would appear an overwhelming majority of British MPs will vote against the idea of prisoners being given the vote.

Now this will in fact pose the first ever direct challenge from the British Parliament to an EU treaty. Because, of course, as part of your beloved Lisbon treaty article 6 clearly states that the EU should accede to the European Convention.

Now of course that accession hasn't as yet been completed. So Mr Cameron could of course come to your next meeting and ask, like Mrs Merkel, for you to change the treaty, though I doubt he'll get much success.

Therefore the Lisbon treaty is about to be re-opened in Britain and a referendum in the UK will be the only solution to ignoring the settled will of the British Parliament. And I thought this afternoon, I'd be the first to share the good news with you.

47% OF VOTERS SAY BRITAIN NEEDS TO PULL OUT OF THE EU

                 

NEARLY half of British voters want the country to quit the European Union, a shock opinion poll revealed last night. A YouGov survey found that 47 per cent of adults would vote in favour of the UK withdrawing from the EU if a referendum on the issue were held. Only a third of those quizzed for the poll said they would vote for Britain to remain within the 27-nation group.

              

Last night, Eurosceptics seized on the poll as evidence of growing disenchantment with Britain’s EU membership. Paul Nuttall, chairman of the UK Independence Party, said: “These poll results just tell us what anybody with eyes to see or ears to hear has known for ages, the people want out of the EU. Britain needs a referendum on continued EU membership, not some makeweight promise from the Government. The fact that in every part of the country there is a majority for leaving says it all.”

                 

The YouGov poll showed that a majority of voters aged over 40 want Britain to quit the EU.  

• 52% of voters aged between 40 and 59 backed withdrawal, and among the over-60s the figure rose to 57%.

• 63% of Tory voters wanted Britain to quit the EU, with 37% of Labour voters in favour of the move. 

• 33% of the Lib Dem supporters quizzed said they would vote against EU membership in a referendum.

The poll result was published last night as ministers released details of a proposed new “referendum lock” law which is designed to stop any further power being handed over to Brussels. The aim is to prevent a repeat of the Lisbon Treaty fiasco which saw Gordon Brown give the EU sweeping powers to meddle in UK affairs but last night Euro-sceptics critics were quick to brand the measure “worthless”. Senior Tory backbencher Douglas Carswell said: “This ‘lock’ is worthless and ministers must know it, under the Lisbon Treaty the EU doesn’t need any more treaties to give itself more powers.”

*************** 

A "shock opinion poll", they say....... what fucking planet are they on?!!!! 

         

People all over Europe want out of the EUSSR and the only ones who refuse to see that are fucking politicians - there are none so blind as those who will not see, and these self-serving cunts are blind a bats! According to this poll a full two thirds of us want out of this New World Order experimental club for the ruling elite and these fuckers know that very well - that's why we have not been given our referendum and the "referendum lock" that they are trying to buy us off with now is pure fucking bollocks, piss and wind! Douglas Carswell has said what we already know that the so-called "lock" is worthless as the Lisbon Treaty is self-amending and that ministers know it.

              

Well here's a bit of news for those ministers - we know it too, you fucking cunts, even though you seem to think we are all thick and easily hoodwinked!

                  

Fuck the fucking fuck off and give us our referendum, you useless twats!

            

CUNTS!

CAMERON SHOWS HIS EU(ROPHILE) CREDENTIALS - AGAIN!

               

Remember when that lying, Lefty, fake Tory, Cast-iron Dave told us that we would have an EU referendum? 

He backed out even though there is still nothing to stop us having that promised referendum to get us out of the God-forsaken European nightmare!

Remember when he also told us that he would surrender no more power to Brussels without a referendum, even though we  already knew he was lying again because the Lisbon Treaty is self-amending?

Well, guess what?...... he's backing out of that one, too, (no shit!), and what's even worse is that this time he actually has the power to say NO!

So the self-proclaimed "Heir to Blair" is  indeed precisely what he said he is in that unguarded moment when he thought he was being "cool" and it's only taken  him ten weeks to prove it beyond all doubt as........

EUROPEAN POLICE ARE TO BE GIVEN "BIG BROTHER" POWERS TO SPY ON BRITONS!

Ministers are ready to hand sweeping Big Brother powers to EU states so they can spy on British citizens. Foreign police will be able to travel to the UK and take part in the arrest of Britons. They will be able to place them under surveillance, bug telephone conversations, monitor bank accounts and demand fingerprints, DNA or blood samples. Anyone who refuses to comply with a formal request for co-operation by a foreign-based force is likely to be arrested by UK officers.

The move will spark a damaging row with backbench Tory MPs opposed to giving such draconian powers to Brussels. The Tories were opposed to the directive in opposition, saying it showed a ‘relish for surveillance and disdain for civil liberties’. But ministers have made a dramatic U-turn since joining the pro-EU Lib Dems in government, and the wide-ranging powers are due to be approved later this week.

According to the campaign group Fair Trials International, under the new rules it would be possible, for example, for Spanish police investigating a murder in a nightclub to demand the ID of every British citizen who flew to the country in the month the offence took place. They could also force the UK to search its DNA database – which contains nearly one million innocent people – and send samples belonging to anybody who was in Spain at the time. This could leave an entirely innocent person facing an agonising battle to establish his or her innocence. 

Last night Tory MP Dominic Raab, who has campaigned against the power grab, said: ‘This sweeping directive would put serious operational strains on hard-pressed UK police forces. ‘There are scant safeguards to protect the personal information of law-abiding British citizens. These serious issues should be properly debated in Parliament before the UK decides to opt in.’

The new powers are known as the European Investigation Order (EIO), which is intended as a partner to the highly controversial European Arrest Warrant (EAW). Fair Trials International has been leading demands for Britain to stay out of the EIO. The group fears miscarriages of justice and civil liberties abuses and is also concerned about UK police being obliged to investigate matters which are not even crimes here, such as the Portuguese offence of criminal defamation.

The fact that ministers are actively opting in will cause great concern on the Tory benches. MPs point out that since the signing of the Lisbon Treaty, justice and Home Office matters are among the few areas over which we retain control of our own affairs.

Other nations, including Denmark, are believed to be ready to say no to this latest power grab....... so why the fuck aren't we doing the same thing, Dave, you lying, Lefty CUNT?!!

THINK AGAIN, DAVE!

Tory Eurosceptics threaten 'all-out war' over Brussels

David Cameron's promise of a referendum in 2015 would come too late to placate his MPs and MEPs

By Jane Merrick

David Cameron has been given an 18-month deadline by a powerful band of Eurosceptic Tory MPs to renegotiate Britain's relationship with Brussels or face an "all-out war" for a referendum, it emerged yesterday. The Conservative leader last week tried to buy more time from the Eurosceptic wing of his party by promising that the Tories' 2015 election manifesto would contain a promise for a referendum should the EU "move in the wrong direction".

Mr Cameron unveiled a list of proposals to assert Britain's sovereignty over Brussels and repatriate certain powers during the next Parliament, if the Tories win the 2010 election. The shopping list was an attempt to placate his MPs and MEPs after he dropped a pledge to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. 

But a senior Tory MP said yesterday that Mr Cameron would have to move quickly in the first year and a half of his premiership – and had to show "real progress" on his promises. The MP said: "I don't think a promise of a referendum on Britain's relationship with the EU in more than five years will sit very well. He [Cameron] needs to make progress, within the first 18 months of his premiership. If he does, it will be his crowning glory, but if he doesn't, it will be a thorn in his side."

Another Eurosceptic backbencher said: "We have agreed to keep quiet on this before the election, but if things do not start happening in the first year or so, there will be all-out war for a referendum."

The warning from the band of Conservative MPs steps up the pressure on the Tory leader after the resignation of two Tory MEPs, Daniel Hannan and Roger Helmer, from the party's frontbench in the European Parliament. The issue threatens to spoil Mr Cameron's honeymoon as Prime Minister if he wins next spring. Some 47 Tory MPs, including a handful of shadow ministers, signed a Commons motion last month that "insists that the Prime Minister rejects the [Lisbon] Reform Treaty ... and holds a referendum before or after ratification". Mr Helmer and Mr Hannan are both members of the Better Off Out group which wants the UK to withdraw from the EU. There are also five Tory MPs and eight Conservative peers who are members of the group.

The early-day motion was signed before the Czech government finally signed the treaty last week, triggering EU-wide ratification. The next day, Mr Cameron announced he could not hold a referendum on a treaty that had become enshrined in law. He won over many MPs who signed the motion by pledging a UK Sovereignty Bill and a "referendum lock" on a future treaty that ceded further powers to Brussels. But many Eurosceptic Tories have made it clear that the issue will not go away early in the next Parliament.

In a fresh development yesterday, Mr Helmer renewed his attack on the Tory leader's EU policy. He wrote that Mr Cameron's EU policy was "confused", adding: "We have said that now that the Lisbon Treaty is EU law, we are not in a position to repudiate it. Yet we have made a series of proposals which repudiate significant parts of it, and run counter to EU law. But as we all know, the supremacy of EU law is explicit in the Lisbon Treaty. If we accept Lisbon, we accept the supremacy of EU law." He added: "A 'referendum lock' will not work, because we have already thrown away the key. Our policy fails to recognise the self-amending nature of Lisbon." Mr Helmer said he would campaign for a Tory victory in 2010, but added: "I can neither justify nor support our new EU policy. You can only defy the will of the people for so long."

STORY FROM THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

If David Cameron was not so out of touch with the population of Britain he would have realised that his speech on the Lisbon Treaty was the last thing that the vast majority of people wanted to hear. 

People are quite rightly going to assume, and some have done for a while, now, that Cameron never wanted to hold a referendum in the first place and no-one could blame them for thinking this way under the present circumstances. His words merely sounded like they were designed to give people some future hope for a solution to get us out of the worst parts of a treaty that is self-amending and no longer requires any consultation before the EU does whatever it wants!

It also transpires that a few weeks ago, Margaret Thatcher wrote a letter to Vaclav Klaus, a great admirer of hers, urging him to hold firm and not to sign the treaty. This letter was to be delivered to President Klaus by William Hague - he never delivered the letter and left it sitting on his desk instead!  

Exactly what the fuck is going on here?

The above article from the Independent is the most encouraging that I have read in some time - perhaps we're not dead in the water just yet! Please get your act together, Dave, or the election could leave us facing another five years of Labour and then..........

we can kiss democracy goodbye forever!

WE ARE SOO IN THE SHIT!

Call me Dave cuts himself off in his prime

BY RICHARD LITTLEJOHN

Call me Dave painted himself into a corner over the Lisbon Treaty and has now had to walk out over the paint. It was the first real test of his leadership as a potential Prime Minister and he flunked it.

Yes, I know all the arguments against holding a referendum on a treaty which is already in force. And there are, admittedly, more pressing problems at home over jobs and the economy.

Yet while the Lisbon sell-out isn't top of anyone's concerns in the real world right now, there is still an underlying sense of betrayal.If Dave is serious about renegotiating Britain's relationship with Europe, his hand would have been immeasurably strengthened by a massive popular rejection of 'ever closer union'.

His calculated refusal smacks of weakness and plays into the widespread 'they're all as bad as each other' disgust with politicians.

Submerging Britain into a quasi-socialist federal Europe was always the real aim of the New Labour 'project'.

It figured that if this country was really ruled from Brussels, it wouldn't matter who formed the puppet government at Westminster.

We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the real villain of the piece is Gordon Brown, the lying, moral coward who has brought shame and disgrace upon his great office and richly deserves to suffer a humiliating wipe-out at the next election.

But Lisbon has already 'castrated' Cameron, to use that crowing French minister's charming phrase, rendering impotent any prospect of democratic Conservative self-government.

If it isn't overturned by a British referendum, this country won't be worth governing and the New Labour traitors will have won.

Concessions? How can Cameron possibly win any at all 

BY EDWARD HEATHCOAT AMORY

Having worked in Government as a special adviser through the Major years, the staunchly Eurosceptic David Cameron is determined on one thing; that any government that he leads should not be torn apart by constant arguments about Europe. That's why he has decided against promising any kind of referendum on our relationship with the EU. He doesn't want Brussels to dominate his first term.

But there is a danger that the programme that he is promising will lead to very outcome that he so desperately wants to avoid.

He is proposing to argue within the EU for the repatriation of powers to Britain, and in particular for a formal opt-out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights, for a guarantee that would prevent the EU interfering in our criminal justice system, and for regaining control over large chunks of social and employment law that are now decided in Brussels.

Now these are all very laudable aims, but it's hard to see how we can persuade our European partners to grant them. In fact, in the first two areas, Labour tried really quite hard to obtain just these guarantees as part of the Lisbon Treaty negotiations. They failed, despite having the option of not ratifying the treaty. Why should other member states concede them to a future Tory government that won't have any such negotiating lever?

The other EU nations will be aware that to give Britain what Mr Cameron says he wants, there would have be a formal amendment to the Lisbon Treaty - effectively changing the EU constitution. It's hard to see how this would be possible without reopening the entire treaty negotiation process, and after the trouble they have had getting Lisbon through, there isn't the slightest chance of anyone in Brussels agreeing to that.

The best that Mr Cameron can hope for is a series of informal guarantees, of the kind that we already have concerning the Charter of Fundamental Rights. But they would only have a limited value, because the Constitutional Treaty - of which the charter is a part - overrides all other EU agreements. So we won't get what we want, but what we may get are a series of rows, in Brussels and in Westminster.

Apparently the Tory plan is to argue for each of these changes on a piecemeal basis over the course of a Parliament. On each occasion there will be a fuss in Europe where we will be isolated. In order to obtain even modest concessions we will have to make sacrifices of our own interests in other areas.

And then ministers will return to Westminster where they will be taunted over their failure to stand up for Britain. Of course, we do have some negotiating clout. We can threaten to veto the budget - just about the only key area where Lisbon and its predecessors have not abolished our right to say no. (so far!) But this is a risky option and we surely can't use it more than once.

So it might have been better to assemble a comprehensive package of reforms, promising that when they were agreed by Brussels they would be put to the British people in a referendum. We could then have gone to the EU and demanded that they agree to the package or else we would stop the financial traffic in Brussels.

There would of course have been a huge row, but it would have been time limited and at the end of it we could have put our relationship with the EU on a healthy basis. Instead Britain now faces the prospect of a series of running arguments over the EU throughout the next Parliament.

FROM THE DAILY MAIL

VACLAV KLAUS PREPARES FOR EU SELLOUT

It would appear that President Vaclav Klaus has merely been using Britain as a pawn in his ongoing political manouevres, to extract more concessions from Brussels on behalf of the Czech Republic, much like the supposed "guarantees" that were given to Ireland to ensure a yes vote earlier this month and the opt-outs that the German Constitutional Court are deliberating. This piece of news does not bode well for Britain's chances of a referendum on the European Constitution/Lisbon Treaty after the expected change of government next year.

Klaus has told  the Czech press that he has no intention of holding out until next May or June - he said that if Britain had an election in a few weeks time it would be fine, but as that is not going to happen, he is expected to sign the Treaty by the end of the year! I do hope we'll be able to offer the President some future help in return for the support he has shown towards Britain -  

AND THEN NOT GIVE IT TO HIM!

Here is the main part of the story, courtesy of Yahoo News

Czech President 'will likely sign EU Treaty'

PRAGUE (AFP) – Euro-sceptic Czech President Vaclav Klaus, the last European Union leader holding out on signing the EU's reforming Lisbon Treaty on Saturday suggested he would ultimately sign the text."The train carrying the treaty is going so fast and it's so far that it can't be stopped or returned, no matter how much some of us would want that," he told the Lidove Noviny daily. 

Klaus, who angered EU partners when he further delayed the ratification process by asking for an opt-out on the treaty earlier this month, added he still did not see the text as a good thing for "freedom in Europe."But "its potential validation will not be the end of history. The dispute over freedom and democracy in Europe will certainly continue," said Klaus.Repeated delays have given rise to concerns that Klaus may be waiting for the next British general election, to be held by June 2010, after which the Conservatives, the likely winner, may hold a referendum which could bury the treaty. But Klaus said these fears were ungrounded as "I cannot and will not wait for British elections, unless they hold them in the next few days or weeks."

So, there you have it - straight from the horse's mouth - thanks for nothing! UKIP, anyone?

HOW WAS IT FOR YOU?

Boris blows Tory truce on Europe

Boris Johnson stirred up further trouble for David Cameron yesterday with a pitch for the leadership of the Tory eurosceptics.The controversial Mayor of London called for a referendum to take back powers from Brussels.

In a barnstorming speech, the London Mayor also flouted party policy by calling for the immediate scrapping of Labour's new 50 per cent tax rate for high earners and urged Mr Osborne not to over-regulate the financial sector.

It was a performance that wowed the party faithful and was seen by many as an attempt by Mr Johnson to position himself as leader in waiting.

An animated Boris launches his barnstorming performance

On Europe, Mr Johnson suggested that the Tories' promised referendum could take the form of a 'consultation' if the treaty is passed before they gain power. There could be a vote on 'key parts' of the treaty, rather than a referendum on the whole thing. But he said there should be 'a consultation as soon as possible.'

Later he added: 'I would much rather people had the option to vote in a referendum, but clearly that is going to be very difficult once the thing is signed off.'

The 'Boris problem' greatly complicated the day for Tory high command as Central Office launched a damage limitation exercise over Europe

In the hope of avoiding claims of a split with Mr Johnson, the Tory high command did not issue him with a public rebuke.

FULL STORY AT THE DAILY MAIL

Good for Boris, at least one man in the Conservative Party has his finger on the pulse of the British people after the sellout by Ireland at the weekend in their referendum which is increasingly beginning to appear like the ballot boxes may have been rigged in favour of the yes vote - strange, then, in light of this evidence that Karzai's stuffing of ballot boxes in Afghanistan was seen as corrupt, but if the EU does it, well that's just fine!

I didn't find much about many performances at the conference that kindled much of a fire, except for Boris and Hague. Andrew Lansley in his usual fine form walked out on stage and inserted both feet firmly in his mouth by mentioning the general election against strict orders from the top! When Boris breaks ranks, there is normally a good reason, but Lansley just comes across as complacent and inept.

Still, we can all hope that it's going to improve over the next few days.........

THE SOVIET EUSSR COMES ONE STEP CLOSER

This is what Ireland have done to us all - themselves included!

HAT TIP TO CALLING ENGLAND

Rest easy your beds, Ireland, you will have occasion to remember the day when you sold all of us out for thirty pieces of silver with great regret but it's already too late for any regrets, so don't say you weren't forewarned of the consequences!

ANTI-EU HELP FROM THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Some of you may remember a while back when I found an article by Peter Oborne in the Daily Mail which informed us that we were going to receive some unexpected help from Germany as they had referred the Lisbon Treaty back to their Constitutional Court. They have still not managed to amend the treaty to their satisfaction and, as we all know, whatever amendments they make in order to keep the sovereign powers that they do not wish to relinquish to the EU will be null and void as soon as the Treaty has been ratified.

Now we are going to get even more help from the Czech Republic as you can see in the following report from The Times. Many thanks to Quiet Man for pointing me in the right direction - he's rather made my day.

Czech Republic 'planning to delay signing Lisbon treaty'

EU leaders are said to be furious that the Czech Republic is planning to delay signing the Lisbon treaty for up to six months even if the Irish vote "yes" in their referendum next month.

The country might even try to delay it until after the British general election campaign when a Tory victory would see the question put to voters by David Cameron.

Nicolas Sarkozy, who helped to draw up the treaty after the French and Dutch voted against its predecessor, the EU Constitution, has warned Prague that it faces "consequences" if it does not swiftly follow an Irish "yes" with its own ratification.

The outburst followed a private warning from Jan Fischer, the Czech caretaker Prime Minister, to his EU counterparts over dinner at their summit in Brussels last Thursday, it has emerged.

Mr Fischer said that Václav Klaus, the country's unpredictable President, was planning to have a group of loyal senators in the Czech Upper House refer the treaty back to the country's constitutional court for a second time, which could delay ratification for between three and six months.

This would mean that the treaty could still be unratified going into the British general election campaign, expected next April or May. Mr Cameron has pledged that, if the document remained a live issue, even though Britain has completed its own ratification, he would call a referendum on it. This prospect horrifies most EU leaders, given the strong vein of Euroscepticism in Britain.

Tensions are already running high among EU leaders over whether the Irish will vote in favour of the treaty on October 2 after a close-run referendum campaign. They are desperate that the momentum of a "yes" is not lost on the eurosceptic Czech and Polish presidents, the final two signatures required for EU ratification.

The treaty further erodes national powers to veto EU decisions, and a Tory government would campaign against it. President Klaus is understood to have told allies that he wants to wait if possible to see if Mr Cameron wins the next election.

Speaking after last Thursday's dinner, Mr Sarkozy said: "I stated clearly that if the Irish say 'yes', there is no question that we will accept to stay in a no-man’s land with a Europe that does not have the institutions to cope with the crisis,” he said.

Asked about what could be done to persuade President Klaus to sign, he added: "It will be necessary to draw the consequences — but those will be the subject of another meeting."

Mr Fischer is acting as caretaker Prime Minister after the Government of Mirek Topolánek fell in the summer and while fresh elections are organised. He has warned privately that he has little control over the country's headstrong President. Speaking to Czech journalists after last week's summit, he admitted: "It is certainly a fact that several government leaders perceive the ratification process in the Czech Republic with a degree of nervousness."

Notice the same old threats from Sarkozy about "consequences" just as the people of Ireland were told if they vote "NO"!! Cameron may yet have to grow a set and give us our referendum as all three parties promised us they would in their 2005 election manifestos - another fucking lie.

President Klaus and the Czech Republic may yet turn the tide on the EU monster and buy us enough time for our own resounding "NO" vote. Then Cameron must ensure that the EU is dead in the water once and for all!

I don't know about you but this is the best news I've read on the subject for some time.

KEEP THE PRESSURE ON CAMERON

Voters demand EU referendum if David Cameron becomes PM

The Tories have come under fierce pressure on Europe as a poll shows that 70 per cent of voters want a Conservative government to offer a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, even if it is already law when they come to power.

So far, the Tories have made only vague promises not to 'stand idly by' if the treaty has already become law across the EU

An ICM survey for The Sunday Telegraph also found that 40 per cent want Britain to leave the European Union altogether, a higher percentage than in other recent polls.

Asked which of the four leading member states did best out of EU membership, 43 per cent said France while 25 per cent chose Germany. Britain was selected by 10 per cent, followed by Italy on eight per cent. Even among voters who identify more with Labour than with any other party, 64 per cent want the Conservatives, if elected, to offer a referendum on the treaty, which will establish an EU president and further entrench the decision-making powers of Brussels.

So far, the Tories have made only vague promises not to “stand idly by” if the treaty has already become law across the EU when they win power. However, David Cameron’s efforts to play down the issue take a further blow today as Edward McMillan-Scott, the senior Conservative MEP expelled from the party last week, accuses the Opposition leader in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph of trying to “smear” his name.

Meanwhile, Labour divisions were also highlighted with Gisela Stuart, a former minister who helped to draw up the treaty’s original blueprint, warning that ratifying Lisbon across the EU would create a “democratic deficit”.

IRELAND - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE EUSSR

The following video will tell you everything that neither BBC Pravda, RTE nor any other European state broadcaster will not tell you for one very good reason - it lays bare the duplicity behind the "YES" campaign in the upcoming rerun of the referendum. This European dictatorship will not take "NO" for an answer, which you have already witnessed for yourselves with the previous French, Dutch and Irish referenda and now you are also being pressured into giving them the "correct" answer that will kill off democracy in Europe forever - you should be afraid - you should be very afraid!

Please take the time to watch this excellent video or feel free to download it and watch it later - it can't do any harm and it will most probably do a lot of good - and by the time you've watched it, you will at least know fully what you are getting yourselves and everyone else into if you vote "YES".

"We set out to make a video about the pros and cons of the Lisbon Treaty and found out to our horror the lies, manipulations and deceit behind the EU. From MEPs, legal experts and EU researches the true nature of the EU unfolded, how it really operates from behind closed doors and away from prying eyes. We discovered the massive power grab away from citizens and nations to the elites that is being proposed in this treaty.

Most shocking of all was how our elected representatives are willingly handing us over to this emerging Totalitarian Superstate by deception , propaganda and outright lies.This video details how the structures of the EU really operate, what the full significance of the Lisbon Treaty is and how it is the end of Nations within in the EU. MEPs describe their experience in Brussels and how they are undermined by the real power of the unelected and unaccountable Eurocrats who run the organization. How the politicians are working together for their own selfish needs while being used for a bigger agenda".

HAT TIP TO DAZED & CONFUSED

IRELAND - JUST SAY "NO"!

 PHOTO FROM OLD RIGHTIE

A number of so-called "concessions" are being cited as the reason why Ireland can vote "YES" in the upcoming referendum on the hated Lisbon Treaty which, as everyone knows, is simply the EU Constitution under another name. These "concessions" are not worth the paper they are written on as Lisbon is an all-encompassing, all-powerful treaty, so every country has to abide by the same rules - including Ireland, and nowhere in the treaty is that negotiable. Think very carefully about this and please vote "NO" because once the treaty has been ratified by all 27 countries, there will be no going back - from that point onwards the EU will become a single self-governing entity with its own president, (probably Tony Blair, God help us), its own foreign policy complete with foreign secretary and absolutely no need whatsoever to consult Ireland again or ask Ireland's opinion or permission about anything that they, the EU, wish to undertake. You will most likely be given all kinds of financial reasons for a "YES" vote and *BIFFO* will try to encourage you to do just that as he is placed under extreme pressure from the Brussels bureaucrats already present and campaigning in Ireland but this referendum is now your last chance to govern yourselves so please don't throw it away. The worst that can happen is that they foist yet another referendum on you and another until you give them the "YES" answer they want but by then the UK will be well rid of Gordon Brown and will also be able, finally, to have its own referendum which will deliver a resounding "NO" vote to stop the EU from growing any larger and more powerful. For Ireland's sake and for everyone's sake, please, vote "NO" very loudly and and very proudly and throw the monstrous EU juggernaut into the disarray that it deserves.

Unexpected Help From Germany

Today as I was browsing through the papers I came across this piece of potentially very good news which had been buried almost entirely successfully by all the palaver and hoohah over Michael Jackson in the last week. Below is the article by Peter Oborne which caught my eye:

"Sixty-five years ago, heroic Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg made his claim to go down as a glorious name in German history when he led the failed 1944 assassination plot against Hitler.
Today, his third son, Count Franz Ludwig von Stauffenberg, is leading the German resistance against the Lisbon Treaty — and in the past week won a vital victory.
He secured a sensational ruling from the German constitutional court that the powers of the Berlin parliament must be significantly strengthened before Germany signs on the dotted line of the document which will create a centralised EU superpower.
This landmark decision has massive implications not just for Germany, but also for Britain.
This is because there will now be a long delay in the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty which could well string out the process until after the British general election.
This has fascinating ramifications.
David Cameron has bravely pledged a European referendum if the Treaty has not been ratified and he becomes Prime Minister.
It now looks possible that his first major drama as Tory PM would be to lead the ‘No’ camp in a referendum on the Treaty.
Of course, this might embarrass Cameron because the Tories risk a major split, with pro-Europe Ken Clarke taking up an opposing position.
But my guess is that Cameron will win a ‘No’ vote and achieve a massive victory in the war against euro-federalism."

Thankfully, Peter Oborne was not distracted by this week's completely over-egged outpouring of pseudo grief which dominated every news programme and Sky News in particular. Heaven forbid they would have to report something detrimental to the EU, the Labour Party or the Glorious Leader. It would seem that McSnot and Lord Shirtlifter of Boy may just have had their chips pissed on from a great height - couldn't happen to nicer fellows!
