The European Union.

It strikes me that perhaps I shouldn't just expect everyone to understand what the EU is and so understand the problems and the solutions. So here is a quick summary. A Frenchman called Jean Monnet decided that a United Europe, run by French technocrats would be the ideal state. He also recognised that it would be opposed by the ordinary people of Europe, so it had to be done little by little, in secret, by stealth.

Words would have new meanings, so that lies could be told, the truth only being understood by those in the know. Individual states would be taken apart and the EU would consist of regions. In the UK these regions are those of the MEP's who get paid a lot to do precisely nothing. John Prescott tried to introduce the regional governments required a while back, but as usual made a mess of it.

It is also the reason the Welsh and Scottish were given their little governing bodies, as a precursor to all authority being taken away from them, their function then merely to impose EU laws. The nature of our law had to fundamentally change too. No longer could the old established Common Law be allowed and nor could Habeus Corpus. Basic laws that have been introduced to protect the people from over-powerful monarchs or parliaments have been dismantled. They need to be, the EU is a dictatorship.

In Britain, we used to have few criminal offences, now virtually everything is and this change came about to support the Europe wide laws based on the French Code Napoleon. This states that all acts are illegal unless expressly allowed by the State. Here of course, the reverse was true. This was to ensure the government feared the people not the people fear the government. The EU much prefers the  latter.

It was hoped by the power elite in the EU that they were entering the final stages of success, having created a beneficial crisis on instituting the Euro. But it has run away from them and people now realise how dangerous these tyrants and their ideas of conquering Europe are.

The EU functions like this; a group of technocrats spend their time inventing new rules and regulations which they put before the EU parliament. Parliaments are democratic aren't they? We can ultimately control them. Well, we can just about give our own politicians a bloody nose, but this lot are untouchable. Because of the enormous amounts of legislation they pass, the MEP's just sit there pressing Yes or No buttons furiously as they have been instructed.

If by some mischance they vote down a rule, the technocrats may redraft it, but it will be back and it won't go away until the MEP's agree to it. Not just lacking in democracy, the EU is actively anti-democratic. In short, the EU exists only to provide a structure for a powerful elite to rule, in luxury and in perpetuity. It has no other real function. Yes, its laws are to run its 'nation' but that is the work of 'little people'.

You will hear France and Germany mentioned a lot in talk of the EU. That is because the French feel they are uniquely gifted to run things and the Germans feel their economic might gives them the right. Both of these are really self-delusions. France and Germany are just re-running their long standing battles, by another means. Here they have stood the maxim, 'war is politics by another name' on its head. It is merely the mindset of Napoleon and Hitler. So, who usually sorts these European messes out? Where is our Wellington, our Churchill? Oh my God, we've only got David Cameron (and Nick 'Spare Leg' Clegg).
