The result?

 

Last Wednesday I posted up an online poll on whether visitors to this blog wished to remain in the EU, or leave and become a self governing nation again. Below are the results.

Of course I don’t expect it to reflect the general population as a whole. The general public don’t get the time to read deeply on the rights and wrongs of the EU.

However it is food for thought. Even a forty percent less vote for leave would be a win for Brexit.

BTW. If you were one of the ten who voted to remain in this poll, I would be interested to have you comment below. Your views would be of interest to me.

Just a thought

Our prime minister castigates those who wish to leave the EU by telling them they must have a coherent plan if the vote in the referendum is to leave.

He calls on Leave campaigners to spell out the kind of trading relationship Britain would have outside the EU and demands that they detail how the UK would cooperate with other countries to stop terrorists.

In an appeal to voters, the Prime Minister says jobs, the cost of living and family finances are all at stake in the referendum on June 23.

Isn’t that the job of the government of the day? To plan for both scenarios. Leave and remain.

After all the civil service have been instructed to withhold information about the EU from skeptical cabinet ministers. How can the leave campaign be blamed?

The EU. How we were sold out.

How we were betrayed by our governments.

The video below explains how we have been sold out. Younger members od society need to watch and learn.

This is why we need to keep the pressure on all the political parties in the run up to the 2015 election.

That Cyprus thing.

You’re walking along the road, minding your own business, when a man walks up to you and demands you handover your wallet.

In your wallet is 100 euros.

The man opens your wallet and takes out 7 euros, and then walks off.

What just happened? In my mind it is just straight theft. To the EU it’s just a way of balancing the Euro books.

After this little escapade I can see that anyone in the southern EU area (Spain, Portugal, Greece. etc) will now quietly begin withdrawing their savings from the banks. (Well I would).

I suspect that that little theft is going to cause more problems to EU banks that are up shit street already.

Just saying.

So you think our Government runs the country.

Well think again. Why do you think “Call Me Dave” has done all those U turns? It’s our masters in the EU who are really calling the shots.

History of Europe

 

Peace in our time. Over?

Politicians really can stoop to new lows in the fight to save the Euro.

Peace in Europe could be shattered if the euro collapses, the German leader Angela Merkel said today.

Christ on a crutch. How crass.

As EU leaders gathered for their second emergency summit in four days, she stunned diplomats by saying: "No one should think that a further half century of peace and prosperity is assured. If the euro fails, Europe will fail."

And a fat rat looks like it’s leaving the sinking ship.

On top of the tensions, the sense of turmoil was fuelled by reports from Rome - quickly denied - that prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has agreed to step down because his coalition is cracking under the strain of austerity measures.

There could be good news, further down in the article.

"It isn't. And that's why I say if the euro fails, Europe will fail, and that mustn't happen."

I live in hope.

We all love the European union.

Or at least 99% of us do. Apparently.

The European Commission believes it is backed by a “silent majority” in favour of its push for further EU integration and potential future role as the economic government of Europe.

Madam Raccoon has the whole story. Do visit her in her chateau for the the whole story, and how you can stir up the EU nest .

Over to you.

All aboard the EU Gravy train.

I’m a bit late with this but at least I will have my rant about it.

A SENIOR aide to David Cameron says the Prime Minister has ruled out a referendum on EU membership because Britain delivered a “very clear result” on the issue 36 years ago.

In an extraordinary letter described last night as “ridiculous and insulting”, Laurence Mann, Mr Cameron’s political private secretary, said the British people did not want another in or out vote because it would be “artificial and simplistic”.

Instead, he said Britons should be grateful for the EU’s “useful work” on global warming and global poverty and stand by a decision made almost two generations ago on the far less federal body known as the Common Market.

No, you stupid Fuckwit we didn’t vote for this at all. We voted for a Common market.

*As an ex lifelong Conservative voter of 62  I say, in that case, we need Mr. Cameron and his government OUT as soon as possible.

He has astonishing temerity, and demonstrates extraordinarily irrational thinking for someone trusted to run the country, when he asserts that the decision was made - irrevocably - 36 years ago when we joined a mere cartel of nations in a TRADING AGREEMENT. (We did not then - or ever - agree to join a federal European State or turn over control of our sovereignty and internal affairs to the French or Germans.) What other decisions made 4 decades ago are sacrosanct and not open to review in drastically changed circumstances, Mr. Cameron ?

What is the hidden agenda in EU membership for politicians of both major parties ignoring the will of the people and their desire to have a say in their own destiny. What are they AFRAID of in the result of a referendum.

I have said before that it is ABSURD that just  650 MPs - a mere 0.0009% of the UK population with no track record of any great wisdom and even less in relevant qualifications or experience - should be allowed to take the EU decision on behalf of 70 million people affected, the majority of whom are well known to be opposed to continued costly and autocratic EU membership.
We need to elect a government that will honour the desire of the PEOPLE to participate in decisions on this major issue. We elected a government in May 2010, not a dictatorship; we had enough of that with the other lot.
It's going to have to be UKIP I'm afraid.

* I borrowed this part from the comments on the article as it sums up my feelings to a tee.

Odious Belgian Twat

No offence to the Belgians. But.

If you’re wondering. I’m referring to Herman Von Rompuy.* Yes that little man that came from nowhere as unelected President of the Council of Europe.

He’s just made a speech that should worry most of you who think that this country has any sovereignty left.

Firstly he is unshakeable in the view that the Euro is in our best interests.

Ever since, the fate of Europe and the euro have been intertwined.
The euro is the most visible and the most palpable sign of our common destiny. It is also our most
powerful tool.
Sharing a currency means that the decisions of one, affect all.
We have seen how! This spring, the crisis of a country of 10 million people became the crisis of 350
million people; early May, it even turned into a global threat.

And here is what he really wants.

We have together to fight the danger of a new Euro-scepticism.
This is no longer the monopoly of a few countries.
In every Member State, there are people who believe their country can survive alone in the globalised world.
It is more than an illusion: it is a lie!

Yes I am old enough to admit to voting for the Common Market. No Mr Rompy Pompy. I didn’t vote for a fucking United States of Europe. I want my country back.

* No I didn’t spell it wrong by mistake.
