FEAR CAN BE manufactured by the rhetoric of
politicians and a sympathetic media; and once Cameron seeks to negotiate a new
EU treaty settlement which is bound to fail; then the need for a referendum
rears its head. Then fear will spread like the plague, orchestrated by the
political elites and willingly propagandized by sympathetic media outlets like
the BBC. All done to alarm and panic the naturally Eurosceptic British public.
People
will have had broadcast to them frightening pieces of fiction about how we will
lose trade to the continent causing millions of jobs to be lost if they vote to
leave the EU. At a time of austerity when families are facing uncertainty due
to the past failings of politicians; those same politicians will now be
conjuring up images of the UK that would make milk curdle. People are
vulnerable and fearful of the future, and are therefore susceptible to such
witchcraft.
Nick
Clegg has started the ball rolling, following the US assistant secretary for
European affairs, who voiced his concerns by suggesting that London’s voice
within the EU was ‘critical to the United States’, Mr Clegg told us to ‘Speak to any police officer and they will
tell you there is no way you can keep people safe from cross border crime,
money laundering, child trafficking, unless you work together with other
people.’
By lacking a
sense of irony, it never occurred to our deputy prime minister that all of the
cross boarder crime, money laundering, and child trafficking of which he
speaks; has not only been present while we have been a member of the EU; but
much of it has been caused by our membership, and in particular, the Schengen
Agreement which opened the floodgates to Eastern Europe, and will, from later
this year, allow 29 Million residents of Romania and Bulgaria to enjoy the same
opportunities for criminal behaviour.
I do not
know which, or how many police officers Mr Clegg spoke to, but he should have
educated them into the realities of being a partner in Europe. Mr Clegg seems
to suggest by his conversation with the police that there is no other option
present for ‘working together with other
people’, than membership of the EU. But this is not exactly true; we have
cooperated internationally for decades, going back to the formation of Interpol in 1923 whose membership comprises
190 countries.
Interpol’s
headquarter is situated in Lyon, and it is the largest intergovernmental
organisation after the United Nations. Its function is to cooperate on cross
boarder crime, and has served the international community well for 90 years. We
also have international arrangements for deporting criminals back to their
countries of origin, thus reducing the population in our overcrowded prisons.
But sadly
because of the European Court of Human Rights and its inclusion into European
law, we have to jump through hoops that span a decade or more, before we can
deport someone…another aspect of being part of the EU.
THE ONLY WAY the EU could punish us if we choose, through a
referendum to leave, would be to break all international free trade agreements
and thus leave them open to being regarded as a dictatorial economic model,
whereby either a European nation conforms to the demands of the Greater Europe,
or the said nation would be exiled from the European market place and left to
drown.
It is nonsense!
If we were not allowed to sell our produce within Europe; Europe would face the
same prohibition from a 60 million people market. If we were frozen out of
Europe in such a way as the Europhiles and their media propagandists would seek
to frighten us into believing, we would trade further afield, leaving the
European Union as a stain on the free market; while Europe would be prosecuted for
their anti-free market model.
This country
would survive intact if the people had the confidence to reject the fearful
overtures of a liberal political elite hell bent upon destroying their nation
and its culture. This country has fought and scarified, on the field of battle,
millions of lives to remain a nation state.
PHILIP GORDON, the US assistant secretary of
state for European affairs has entered the debate with his suggestion that the
UK would not be acting in the interests of the United States if they choose to
leave the EU. What a slap in the face it is for the USA’s oldest ally that
their only purpose in the special relationship is to serve the interest of the
USA[1].
For this is what Gordon’s intervention amounts to. It seems that this Democrat
administration would not look kindly upon Britain leaving the EU.
My
brother spoke wisely. He suggests that the USA under Obama sees us as Europe’s
Israel: and perhaps he is right. But neither Obama or Philip Gordon fully
understands what a United States of Europe entails; or if they do, then they
themselves have little regard for their own nation. For why else would they so
easily dismiss a thousand years of a nation’s history as they do Britains?
This
country has allowed itself to become dominated by people who see their country’s
future as being nothing more than a canton within the Greater Europe. Such
people are a minority; but an influential minority. They have created what is
referred to today as a ‘progressive culture’.
It
is this British liberal voice that encourages the likes of Gordon as a USA democrat
to dismiss this country so light-heartedly. It is the British liberal
establishment that encourages such breech of formality between the two nations.
In
the past few days Philip Gordon has been joined by several businessmen who, as the
signatories to a letter published in the Financial
Times, have warned of the damage that an in/out referendum could do to the British
economy. They have no thought for the survival of the nation state and the
sovereignty that comes with it; they have no concerns over the loss of our
ability to raise taxes or loss of our financial independence; they care little
whether the laws that are made by British politicians elected by British people
remain so. These captains of industry see no problem with sacrificing all of
these freedoms to their greater good.
But
their greater good is not necessarily for the good of the British people. They
are businessmen who have no boarders to remain loyal to. They duck and dive
seeking the nearest tax exile. To such as those who signed this piece of
correspondence, as well as those who think like them, the nation state is a mere
stepping stone on their road to further success. They enjoy pleasurable exiles
on a Caribbean island for the part of the year that, either for tax purposes,
or merely to avoid the bleak, depressing, steel grey sky of a British winter,
they seek to retreat to.
WHEN IT COMES to voting to leave the EU (if we eventually do); then, to quote F D Roosevelt,
‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself’.
The British people must, above all else remain an independent sovereign nation,
managing its own affairs as it has done for centuries: and if our relationship
with Europe extends beyond this centuries old impulse for liberty, then we must
have nothing to do with it; no matter how ‘unfashionable’ our ‘progressive’ elite
believes such a way forward is.
The
single market was a good idea taken to ridiculous lengths, and it is right that
David Cameron should seeks negotiate a new relationship with Europe. But it
will result in either failure or the greatest piece of spin doctoring ever
witnessed since New Labour created it.
The
countries within the euro zone are organizing monetary and political union;
which means the canonization of the whole continent. The nation state would be
put on the pyre of history – in Europe at least. What the European liberal
elite see as an irregularity; every nation outside of the European continent see
as vital.
Despite
Philip Gordon’s wish to see us abandon our nationhood; he would turn blue at
the mere suggestion that the USA should abandon hers. Indeed, India and China,
both regarded as the next great economic powers, are nationalists to their very
core . It is the same throughout the rest of the Americas, Asia, the Middle East
and the Antipodes. In over ninety per cent of the world outside of Europe, the
nation state continues to thrive. Free from any demand that their nationhood
has become antiquated, historically.
The
British people belong to a nation, and without it the British will become mere aborigines
within a small outpost of Europe. It has already begun with the great influx of
migrants, that since the 1950s has swamped the indigenous culture and threatens
dominance over the white populace; as a reports this week has shown in cities
like Leicester, where the white population has already had its dominance
replaced by immigrant communities.
Allowing
this nation to bleed into the oblivion of a United States of Europe is a revilement
too far for any self-respecting patriot, of which there are many millions. Which
is why Cameron (an instinctive Europhile) tries to keep his Eurosceptic party
happy by promising a renegotiation of Britain’s relationship with Europe…a position
already undermined before he makes his speech by Angela Merkle of Germany.
Europe
will give Cameron little to take back home, despite the spin his party will try
to put on the speech and its reception by the media. He will be faced with the
option of an in/out referendum. If under such circumstance he chose to ignore
such demands; UKIP will be the beneficiaries of further obfuscation and not
only from party voters, but workers; and even Conservative MPs will steer their
course to UKIP.
We
have reached a momentous stage in our nations’ history: a stage which will
determine whether we remain a nation state, or whether the British people are
prepared to forgo it. Either way, this nation needs a referendum to settle the
issue once and for all. An in/out ballot should be considered final. As an
anti-European in the sense that the continent can become a United States of Europe,
as many of the anti-American liberal elite wishes it to, I would vote to come
out.
