GRIPING ABOUT THE GROUPING

Initially the Tory break from the rabidly federalist pro-EU group in the European Parliament was going to be carried out within three weeks of David Cameron taking the Conservative leadership in December 2005. After that we waited, and waited, and waited and later wondered if his second promise to deal with this after the European elections would turn into yet another long wait.

But wait no more, lo and behold it has happened, a new European Parliamentary group called the “European Conservatives and Reformist group” has suddenly appeared and not all the Tory MEP’s are too happy about it.

Raving Euro fanatic Edward McMillan-Scott, a fully paid up member of the EU Taliban, has been griping about some of his new colleagues from other EU states within this new group of fifty five MEPs. He considers some of the members of this group to have unsavoury connections and have links to extremist groups, despite the fact many of his own constituents in the EU would consider him a pro-EU extremist. He said it was “humiliating” for the Tories to be “scrambling around” for new members for the group.

Another Tory EU-fanatic, Christopher Beazley who stood down from the EU Parliament at the recent election, accused David Cameron of trying to “rip up thirty years of work by Tory pro-Europeans”. It has obviously not quite dawned on these Tory dimwits that over the last thirty or so years the EU has been ripping up a thousand years of British history and our constitution, independence and freedom that has grown from it.

In reality it is hard to wonder why these EU fanatics are getting their blue and gold star knickers in a twist about this trivial issue as this new grouping will not make a jot of difference. The Tory party will remain a sham EU-sceptic party, we will remain trapped in the EU no matter who is the PM, Cameron or Brown, and David Cameron is still pro-EU and prone to dishing out a load of testies about reforming and changing the EU from within. Nothing will change until we leave the EU because the EU itself will not allow change – even though Cameron is fluent in bullshine and McMillan-scott and others are throwing their toys out of Euro nannies pram.
