Get Out, Stay Out and Get the Brigade Out

QT is in Liverpool and the audience are strangely split in their own minds. Whilst they resolutely stick to their 'sponger' reputation in opposing anything that doesn't end with people getting something for nothing, they also seem to grasp that the EU is wasting money. Maybe they are happy for money to be hosed over scousers but not Greeks. You would have thought the kebab would have built some bridges, but hey ho.

It was interesting though to see the squirming by the panel at the vehemence of the objection to the EU, full stop, not just bailouts or technical detail. The usual tosh was talked about jobs relying on the EU. The only jobs that rely on the EU are those of politicians. Let's be clear; companies in the EU (as in any foreign country) buy from Britain because of the efforts of their sales force and then lorries and ships. Those are the 'links' not any rubbish about a political union.

There was also some suggestion that whilst the Euro isn't helping the financial crisis, it didn't cause it, the banks did. Well, yes and no. The banking crisis just shone a light on what the EU was up to; the Euro was actually designed to cause a mild shock to the economies of countries like Greece and Ireland and allow the empire-building French and Germans to take them over (ever closer union). But with another crisis bursting over them the tail began wagging the dog.

It is reported that the belief is that 75% of Germans do not want to continue throwing money at Greece, but the politicians are thankful that democracy has its limits and the people cannot say but can pay, for their folly. That is what the EU is about, using the people to support a small political class. It is corrupt, immoral and anti-democratic.

William Hague has correctly judged that the Eurozone is a building on fire with no exits. For my part I would repeat what I have said before regarding the EU (and mis-quoting an old Fire Brigade advert); Get out, Stay out and get the Brigade out. (The Brigade here being the Brigade of Guards, the bulwark that ensures our sovereignty, which the EU and our politicians certainly do not).
