The EU.

I read the other day that there was, apparently a discussion in Britain during World War 2, just as France fell that the two countries should become one. Now, bearing in mind the French had rolled over when attacked and thought us saving our soldiers at Dunkirk (and a lot of theirs) was a treacherous act and wanted us to commit ever more fighters to protect their country, at the same time as the 'union' was proposed, you wonder who would want such a thing? Well, possibly those just about to hand over their country I guess. How useful to lose a war and then insist of your new hosts that they should divvy up their property with you. These people, for whom union was a natural thought at such a dangerous time, rather forgot to add their fleet to their new 'partner' and so we got more accusations of treachery when we had to neutralise it. The French you have to conclude are a monumentally stupid people.

But then, they did lose the wars (eventually) that Napoleon started in the cause of European domination and made a hash of WW1 and collapsed in WW2, yet immediately afterwards suggested that the whole of Europe should join a 'union' of nations. And this time they were much more successful.

If you seek a comparison for the EU only the Soviet Union will do. It is not exact, as the French, sorry the EU bureaucracy, do not actively believe in Communism rather they merely seek to have a powerful, unelected, unaccountable elite. The lavish spending on themselves, the denial of truth and the harassment of whistle-blowers is the external sign of this deep seated corruption.

It is this drunken power binge which gives us the current financial crisis. The EU brought in a single currency for one reason and one reason only, power. It made no sense to introduce it when they did and everyone was well aware of the damage it could do. They closed their eyes and hoped. Our own experience during the ERM crisis here under Major, was a mini lesson of what would happen inside the euro. Thank goodness we stayed out.

They get away with this because we now have a self-serving cabal of politicians. And to keep them in line there are laws and bribes. It is a crime to speak out against the EU. Whenever the laughable figure that is Neil Kinnock speaks on behalf of the EU in the Lords, he forgets to mention that they will stop his pension if he says anything against the regime. It is a very long time since the running of this country was in such a mess. It looks like it might take people power (and possibly not at the ballot box) to restore a workable nation and wrest us from the bubbles of corruption at Westminster and Brussels.
