A DIM FUTURE

The euro is crashing, Britain is becoming defenceless, our brand new and unused Nimrods have been sent to Steptoe and Son and, to put it in a nutshell, the world in which we live has gone stark raving bonkers.

Last night I saw the film ‘The Kings Speech’ which mostly was set in the days and years leading up to World War Two. Living in these mad days under the rule of the EU I hanker for those times when we were a nation and we had politicians of principle and stature such as Winston Churchill who could see war coming. Unlike today, due to our modern and highly complex technology where one aeroplane will take months to make, in those days fighter planes and bombers could be churned out hundreds at a time – at least we could arm ourselves quickly – but not now and we find ourselves in a perilous position ever more reliant on the EU and an increasingly disinterested USA for our defence – these are scary times.

At the same time as our Parliamentary sovereignty, democracy and right to govern ourselves goes to hell in a handcart, the EU is continually making plans to expand its ‘empire’ and take ever more control of our lives.

A little booklet came my way regarding the programme of the Hungarian Presidency. Apart from the usual EU jargon and claptrap, it gives an insight to the EU’s ambitions. We are its citizens, we did not ask for this, vote for it or given a say on the matter, but none the less we are all EU citizens like it or not – and the EU, chillingly, wants to get ‘closer to us’, as often repeated in this brief document.

The EU wants to become stronger and increase ‘common policies’, although we in Britain have always taken our freedoms and liberties for granted as we are born free and expect to remain free from state interference – unless we break the law, the EU wants to grant us freedoms. This means our freedoms no longer become a right by birth, but are granted to us by the EU which, should it decide, just as easily remove those freedoms it so graciously gave us. In effect because of EU membership freedom will no longer be a right of birth but a gift from the higher echelons of the great and the good in the EU.

Enlargement of the EU is still very much on its agenda with the future acceptance of Romania and Bulgaria to the Schengen area. The EU’s own border agency, Frontex, is to be strengthened and laws to harmonise cross border motoring offences, immigration and asylum are all to be looked at giving the EU even more control.

Sadly, our future in the EU does not look bright, but rather dim as the shades on British justice, freedom and liberty are to be pulled further down by the EU.
