The EU 2013

Apparently Jose Manuel Barroso had a word with Santa and all the EU's troubles are over. Oh and they were never caused by EU policies. Yeah, right.

Still, new ideas about our relationship are absent, just the old 'we should stay in' with the renegotiate caveat added. Renegotiate? The EU allows no such thing, so now what? Well, undaunted, the true believers are suggesting that Britain has a moral duty to help make the EU a better place. Oh please.

The only way any British input would make the EU a better place would be if the EU adopted the nature of British democracy for all its peoples. If Common Law and Habeas Corpus were implemented throughout. But that would fly in the face of the founding principles of the EU. It is designed to be anti-democratic, the people should have no say whatsoever.

Far reaching police powers are needed (the EU arrest warrant being a key part) so that citizens anywhere can be dealt with from the centre. That those people must realise that the state exists and must be served by the people (in the UK, the people used to own the law).

Question Time last night found time to try to ridicule a Tory, Nadine Dorries for taking part in a TV show (of no merit) but had no time to discuss the fabric of law and the protection it offers being removed to suit EU politics.

And as for Obama's administration saying we should stay in, that is like asking a thief if they could hold your wallet. I know it is not politic these days to point out failings of real substance, but when the last leftie in the US forced mortgages on people who couldn't afford them and seeded the subsequent banking crisis, I'm not sure they have a moral ant-hill to stand on, let alone any high ground.

Is the EU a good idea? If you think so, ask yourself a question. When was the last time a totalitarian government was a good thing? When you think how feeble Britain was in the face of the German war machine of 1940, yet Churchill knew we had to stand up to a tyrannical regime no matter what, how did Edward 'Quisling' Heath answer the demand to surrender sovereignty with a cheerful, 'yes, most certainly. Peace in our time'?

This tripe that the EU was designed to and indeed has prevented European war is laughable. The fact there has been no war in the EU countries has many causes, none of which wander anywhere near EU politics. And the EU's complete and utter failure to assist in the wars following the break-up of Yugoslavia proves that a) Europe is in no way united and b) the EU is an incompetent construct capable only of creating and hiding large scale corruption. Which was of course, its real intention from the outset. (And why Tony Blair so keenly wishes to 'lead' it).
