Cameron : We Want a Referendum

Dave is trying to push a firm line on Europe post Ireland’s likely ‘Yes’ vote. The Tories have just emailed out a message from Dave giving the line:

lisbon_yes_noI want to make one thing clear: there will be no change in our policy on Europe and no new announcements at the Conference. There will be no change in Conservative policy as long as the Lisbon Treaty is still not in force. The Treaty has still not been ratified by the Czechs and the Poles. The Czech Prime Minister has said that the constitutional challenge before the Czech Constitutional Court could take 3-6 months to resolve.

I have said repeatedly that I want us to have a referendum. If the Treaty is not ratified in all Member States and not in force when the election is held, and if we are elected, then we will hold a referendum on it, we will name the date of the referendum in the election campaign, we will lead the campaign for a ‘No’ vote.

If the Treaty is ratified and in force in all Member States, we have repeatedly said we would not let matters rest there. But we have one policy at a time, and we will set out how we would proceed in those circumstances if, and only if, they happen.

klaus+cameron
Tory policy now depends on the success of Václav Klaus, the libertarian leaning President of the Czech Republic, challenging the constitutionality of the Treaty. Guido has met Václav Klaus, and he is a clear-sighted fighter, not a quitter.  If he can hold off the EU-elite’s constitutional steam-roller until the British general election, all is not lost.

Holding a referendum is popular across party lines, if the general election becomes a referendum on Brown and Europe all the better. Ken Clarke may have a huff, but he is one of the few prominent Europhiles left in the Conservative Party…

            Sweet merciful Jesus ! Cameron’s sent an email !!

            Didn’t he think of the children or the catastrophic consequences of doing something so appalling so devastating and so awe inspiring ?

            The EU is finished after that.
            Call me Dave has slayed the E.U. corrupt monster with one mighty email.

            Alternatively, this is pathetic and anyone who isn’t a paid shill for Cameron are not about to pretend Lisbon is almost here until someone with balls appears to say NO.

            Although I do not like many of Cameron’s policies and nor do I trust him, he is not Ken Clarke’s pawn. It is a case of Cameron embracing his enemy so he knows where he is.

            Unlike the bunch of un-elected bastards currently ruining the country !

            A lot of great men and women died in the two World Wars. Why the phuck would Poland and Czech’s want to join a bunch of unelected koonts trying to complete what Hitler set out to do ?

          Bliar is one of the biggest bastards on the planet. He’s not a bungling wanker like Cyclops, or a deeply disturbing, calculating voyeur like Man of Straw or Lord Backpassageson. Bliar takes evil to what may be its ultimate extreme. I said ‘evil’ and I mean ‘evil.’ Like a poster on a newspaper blog this morning, I am not in the least religious, but I think the poster is correct in suggesting there’s something of the Apocalypse about this seriously unpleasant, self-serving political terminator. His tenure of office in Number Ten, ably supported by his nauseating wife, will go down in history as one to rival those of Machiavelli or Hitler.

          I agree with those who believe the gentle, intelligent Dr Kelly was murdered. If the British press had world class investigative journalists of the calibre of Woodward and Bernstein this case would have been blown open and Bliar and his sickening sidekick, Campbell, would have ended up in court. Bliar claims a religious belief that, were it genuine, would have destroyed his sanity as the thousands of deaths and maimings mounted in Iraq.

          • Phil O'Pastree says:

            How many wars did he involve us in?

          • Susie says:

            My 90 year old father (who knows a thing or two) said “Blair is the Devil…” a few years ago.

            I asked him why he thought that and he said, “The Devil isn’t a monster, otherwise people would recognize him and recoil, no, he’ll appear to be reasonable, accommodating and charming — people like his style and he’ll make them feel comfortable. The only way to tell if he’s really the Devil is by his legacy and often by then it’s too late.”

            So here we are: Iraq 180 soldiers dead, 600,000 Iraqi civilians dead, Dr Kelly hounded and murdered for getting in Bliar’s way. Our 800 year old Common Law supplanted by a Supreme Court of judges who can make up (or as they’d say, ‘interpret’) the law as they see fit and are no longer accountable to a democratically elected Parliament — this was decided over a glass of whiskey with his ex boss Derry Irvine — no-one was consulted. And now he’s President of Europe, with a salary equal to Barak Obama, except people voted for Barak Obama.

            Yep Bliar’s the Devil alright. Good call Dad.

            It would be an OUTRAGE , a crime, a total disgrace if he were given this position,. He would have more power than our own prime minister! (hopefully Cameron).

            He perpetrated a war against the Iraq that was against the law, and was responsible for thousands of dead and maimed human beings.

            Blair is a Satanist. His claim to have converted to the Church of Rome is a device to make his ascendancy to the thrown of EU president more palatable to politicians on the continent, where religion plays a far greater part in the democratic process than it does in the UK. Remember the howls of protest when the Tories launched that ‘demon eyes’ campaign some years ago? That had to be pulled because it was too close to home. The truth hurts. Satanism is also rife among the US Republican party. Probably Bush jr. introduced Blair to it when they got seriously pally over the Iraq invasion.

            Blair evil, yes I think you have a point. What I find difficult to understand is how a politician so dishonest incompetent and corrupt can be considered by other European leaders as a suitable candidate for EU president, or in fact, any public office whatsoever. Could it really be that the claims, which I have always thought rather fanciful, about The Bilderberg Group, the Illuminati etc. have an element of truth?

            Even if we were to accept his explanation of being misled by the intelligence over Iraq (I don’t), it is still a stupendous error of foreign policy. A man with the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent people on his hands, also one David Kelly, is still at liberty with no sign of justice any time soon.

            Blair’s beliefs? Blair believes in Blair, to the total exclusion of everyone and everthing else, and as you point out ably supported by that odious wife of his.

          • Atlas shrugged says:

            Blair has EMEYE 5 written all over his smug face.

            He is a Knight of Malta, which should be all that needs to be said on the matter.

            He has sworn his material body and immortal soul to the interests of the Papal authorities.

            Blair did not, and did not need to instruct his secret service chums to perform a certain deed. These people have always taken their orders from a much higher place then mere puppet PM or presidential level. Which is only a few levels higher then the average bank manager.

            The great pyramid of world power is so far over Blair’s head, he most likely has little clear idea where it ends.

            Which does not excuse Blairs criminal EVIL in any way, but I hope the above may add a little clarity to the situation. For please remember, Tony Blair is simply an establishment tool, he has less power over his own destiny then the average citizen. Which is just one reason why he has always done exactly what he has been told to do, and the main reason why he hates ordinary people so very much. IMO TB’s hatred for the common man, is only exceeded by his utter contempt for humanity in general.

            People like Blair do not just think the public are no better then a ignorant bunch of self-interested half-wit sheople, bound for the slaughter, or shearing house. People like Tony Blair are TRAINED to know that they are.

            Orders are made to be obeyed. After all, are the powers that be, seriously expecting us to believe, during this or any other time, that they would trust the future of THEIR planet to any form of lesser mortal, especially one who has to periodically go through the utter humiliation of getting themselves elected by the great unwashed???????

            Well yes they still are, and we, to a very large degree still believe this comforting illusion. Soon they will not even need to bother themselves with the smoke and mirrors type stuff. Big Brother has been watching over us all for many more years then we would like to imagine.

            This is why they can so casually remove our representative parliamentary democracy, and the accompanying property rights, while sleeping so soundly in their beds. They know it never really existed in the first place, because the establishment have always had, and still do have all of the political bases covered.

          It is essential for our democracy that we nopt only get a Referendum on Lisbon, but on the whole EU project.

          Like many of my age, I voted int he 70s for Common Market – NOT for an EU Federal Government. Those who understand the treaty, see where it is taking us: into a twilight where we will be the milch cows of the EU Super-State, To a large extent we already are.

          We MUST have this referendum and without it people of conscience and understanding will feel obliged to vote UKIP at the next election regardless of the consqeunced – which may even lead to another Laobur Govt propped up by the Liberals.

          I think we shall have to join the Tory party just to keep the pressure up. Time truly is running out, and fast. The Lisbon Treaty contains provision for making it illegal to criticise the EU! – and will not hesitate to outlaw parties which against their project.

            It’s perfectly feasible that a Lib/Lab pact would get back in. why do you think Brown was giving sops to the Liberals in the form of promoting transferable votes? The North will still vote for Labour like the lemmings they are, and those who can’t stomach doing it but are mindlessly soft-left will vote Liberal.

            That’s no reason to vote against your conscience, if you truly believe – as I do, having done endless research, that the ratification and implementation of the Lisbon Treaty spells the end of democracy in Europe (what little is left, and that’s not much).

            UKIP is the only party offering us a platform. If Cameron doesn’t show tha the understands what is at stake, it won;t matter whop wins the next election. We shall never be able to vote out our true masters, once Lisbon takes effect.

        Its bloody simple until the treaty is ratified or not Cameron cannot give a decision about an alternative.
        I personally think that if the Treaty is ratified Cameron does have an option of telling Europe that the UK has been signed up to the Treaty by a government that had no authority to sign away the electorate’s basic constitutional rights in the first place thus making any backdoor ratification illegal,undemocratic and unconstitutional.
        Brown is unelected and usurped Blair but owes his duty of care in government,as all prime ministers do, to pursue policies and actions that protect the constitution and wellbeing of the country and reflect his party’s electoral mandate embodied in their manifesto.As far as I am concerned brown is a liar and a traitor for going back on the referendum promise and trying to sell us all up the swanee or should that be the Rhine? to be presided over by a war criminal and his slot gobbed carpetbagging mate.

            People should get their facts straight: in the EU power lies entirely with the Commissioners – who are NOT elected and cannot be removed, The are placemen, and the most powerful of them are in place due to politiking by the most influential countries.

            Lisbon will remove the British veto in 40+ areas. We have already lost our rebate, and were gross net payers into the EU even before that.

            France and Germany are now setting up a powerful axis which will operate within the EU nexus for their mutual advantage. All these moves emphasise the danger to our future if we remain within this corrupt institution. And if we don’t get out now, our only recourse may be to arms. Once Lisbon is in effect, there is NO WAY OUT – dissent has been written-in as treason to the new superstate

            It will be an obscenity if Blair does get the Presidency but it’s doubtful the Franco-German axis will support his candidacy, given their new co-operation. If he did succeed, he would not have much political power – but he would certainly add enormously to his millions (wherever he keeps them) and be given a platform to strut the world stage, whcih is what he has angled tirelessly for ever since he became PM in 1997.

          Under the terms of the Lisbon reform treaty (have you even read it and all the other treaties that it amends?) No nation will have the power to slow or hamper further integration. There will NOT be any more referenda to ratify any future treaty in any state ever.

          Under the terms of the Lisbon Treaty, Cameron will NOT be able to slow or hamper any of the EU’s plans for much further and more rapid integration.

          Once the Lisbon Reform Treaty is ratified, it will NOT MATTER if Brown wins next year, because Blair will be running the show. If you are voting tory to avoid or defeat nulabour, then you fail, becuase it will be imposed from above.

          Why do you think Brown is such an arsehole? it matters not if he wins or loses, because nulabour mentality is running the show on an EU level.

          You are saying that we will get MORE integration under labour? BULLSHIT! whoever wins between labour or tory matters not to the EU UNLESS Cameron holds a referendum on membership itself.

          If he doesn’t then it will be too late.

          How fast will the integration be when they do not have to rely on national parliaments or referenda to ratify? When all it takes is a nod from a majority of leaders in the council of Ministers?

          Do you believe for a second that Cameron will be able to hold up that juggernaut??? You are living in a delusional dreamworld if you do.

          Catch up, for fuck’s sake. We are not talking about normal national politics as usual here. This is the very existence of Britain as a nation that is at stake.

          Do you want to live in a fully independent Britain? Making ALL our own laws? Setting all our own taxes and not subsidising 20 other poorer nations for nothing in return but having to accept a million new immigrants? Setting our OWN levels and criteria for immigration, setting our OWN fishing and farming policy? Running our economy to suit the people of THIS country?

          Or in a single EU dictatorship under Dictator Blair imposing nulabour mentality across the EU???

          That is the REAL choice at the next election. and millions more people are realising it and realising that UKIP are currently the only valid way to the former.

          Labour, Lib-dem and Tories (so far) are all heading for the latter.

            It’s entirely regrettable, given the poor calibre of most UKIP politicians, but the gentleman is entirely correct. The majority of voters have no idea what is in the Lisbon Treaty.

        The current climate changes that we are now seeing is a totally natural and re-occurring cycle.
        It is caused by precession, the wobble of the Earth on her axis.
        It’s a long cycle, longer than man has been keeping records.
        One of the dynamics affecting the wobble is the massive wight of ice at the poles.
        The ice builds up over hundreds of years and as it does it adds more weight to the poles and creates an imbalance similar to an unbalanced wheel on a car.
        The imbalance shifts the spin of the planet to such an extent that areas that were under the ice now orbit through a warmer part of the planet’s surface and the ice melts.
        Recent areas of melt have revealed previously hidden evidence of older civilizations which prove that the ares exposed were habitated long ago before the ice built up. Aren’t we living on land that was previously scored by an Ice Age ?

        Although man is polluting the plant, man is not having any effect on the natural cycle of things.

        It’s quack science being used to tax anything that they want to tax and hide behind “green” credentials and secondly create bogus financial assets called trading credits which the big money cal buy & sell making themselves billions of dollars.

          If you’re thinking and relying on the Poles to kick the Lisbon treaty into the middle of the future, think again.

          The British let the Poles hang to dry in 1939, they will do likewise to the British with the Lisbon treaty.

          • Budgie says:

            It would be more accurate to say that the “British let the Poles hang out to dry in 1945″ rather than 1939. However both are unfair to Britain. What more can a country do than go to war for its ally?

          • WobblyJim says:

If nothing else if it is yes then the people have spoken, if no then he has a hell of a card for playing Brussels poker. Parallel to this he needs to push down the route of forcing change from within. There are enough people across Europe who oppose the top down imposition and wish to open up the system. To do this he needs to have a clear statement of what his vision for Europe is.

      1. Happy to trade
      2. Happy to harmonise standards
      3. Happy to co-operate where it makes sense
      4. Decisions and government to be locally based as fas as possible

          Wonder why they ok with Blair whereas we are not? Look up Common Law on Wiki, it came about not only as what it says on the tin — the same law applies to each and every one of us whoever we are — but also because the judges of the 12th C used to compare notes and thrash out a judgement which would be common to each region — the law of precedent.

          Blair’s (and the Blairs’) own undistinguished legal career(s) certainly wouldn’t stand up to this scrutiny, so he’s been fundamentally opposed to our legal system since he took the Bar.

      Correct. UKIP has served its purpose. Cameron has made it clear what he will do if elected prior to full ratification by all signatories to Lisbon. The fact remains that the Treaty is not yet in force. How can he say more at the present time. Brussels has been put on notice and millions of Europeans are hoping that Cameron will act to pull the emergency brake and put an end, once and for all, to the concept of a superstate.

      Mr Ned says:

      The reason UKIP is gaining strength is that a Cameron victory, (landslide or otherwise) will be utterly and completely irrelevant under the appointed dictator PRESIDENT BLAIR. Post Lisbon, when 90%+ of the laws affecting us will be created in Brussels by the EU commission, the council of Ministers and the 3,500 secret working groups, Cameron will have NO POWER!

      WHAT WILL BE THE POINT OF PRIME MINISTER CAMERON IF HE HAS NO POWER UNDER A BLAIR DICTATORSHIP???

      COME ON TORIES, ANSWER THAT!!!

      IF the outcome of the next election actually meant that the Prime Minister REALLY had the power to change things any more, Then fair enough, Cameron is a MASSIVE improvement over Brown.

      instead he will at best be having to “try to negotiate in our favour in the council of ministers and if they decide against us, then TOUGH! And remember, the EU does NOT have a history of decisions taken that benefit Britain. In fact they think of the UK as a cash cow to be bled dry!

      People are not supporting UKIP, for fun. Tories especially know and fully realise that removing support for the tories in large numbers will risk a labour victory and there is NOT ONE tory who would ever do that for a laugh.

      The fact is, Many UKIP supporters dearly would love to see Cameron win and be in power and put things right and start to rebuild this country, BUT he cannot do that IF Lisbon passes. It would enshrine the discredited and failed politics of nulabour onto us via Brussels in laws that supercede and take precidence and priority over our own and in the sinister and sickening form of Dictator Blair!

      UKIP are the only mainstream party that realise this. (mainstream insofar as they had greater popular support than the governing party at the last national election)

      UKIP would not have ANY support IF Cameron would do what we know is necessary. It is highly worrying that he seems to still want to remain in Europe and run by Europe, for the current status quo will no longer be an option after Lisbon.

      Conservative supporters will be desperately disappointed if He wins post Lisbon. For he will effectively have to ask for Blair’s permission for every reform.

    David Cameron is taking the correct approach. The Labour spin machine wants to disrupt the Conservative conference and its easiest, and laziest, way is to do the old ‘split on Europe’ thing.

    By being clear about general policy up front and not being lured into making statements about what he may do if certain possibilities happen he is taking away much of their potential to disrupt.

    This sort of thinking is exactly what you want to see from a leader. Pragmatic and smart.

        You really expect a libertarian conservative like myself to vote to have the tories acting as Blair’s poodles in Westminster?

        If he grew some balls, then he might be worthy of a vote, but what is the point of having Cameron as Prime Minister of the UK, when Dictator Blair will be enforcing nulabour politics on us from Brussels? That would be incredibly humiliating.

        The fact is, that WHOEVER wins the 2010 UK general election will be subservient to a POST LISBON reality.

        On the BIG issues, Cameron OR BROWN would have to follow the EU diktats regardless of what they, their parties or the country wants.

        That is why voting only for parties that would have the balls to take THE decision to get us OUT of the EU altogether, is the essential first step to actually sorting out the vast pile of shit that 12 years of Blair/Brown has gotten us into!

        IF the Lisbon treaty is finally ratified throughout the EU and IF Cameron then announces that his “not letting the matter rest there” would be an explicit promise of a referendum on the EU Membership, then he would deserve to win a landslide and UKIP and the BritnatsP would be sunk instantly.

        As it is, it will not make a shite of difference if Brown wins over Cameron, because President Dictator Blair will be calling the shots in this country.

    Gordon Brown is highly predictable.

    I am surprised that nobody had noticed that within half an hour or so of the Irish results coming through, Brown suddenly says he will do a debate. Now Call me a cynic but I am of the opinion Brown will be going to the palace on Monday to call a general election for 22nd October 2009! 17 days are required from Dissolution of Parliament to Polling day I believe!

    This European issue is just what Brown has been waiting for in terms of the final piece in place. Labour know they are going to lose but their hope is the European issue will cause the Tories to talk on Europe and help the Soft LD> Tory swing voters get put off by the subject of Europe and thus back the LD European surrender monkeys!

    I simply dont believe the co-incidence of Alistair Campbell working for Labour, Labour MPs canvasing 3 nights a week and on a Saturday, minimum wage and certain benifit increases:Brown said in his speech ‘this month’, it was in september! Along with the car scrappage scheme being extended in terms of numbers but not duration. Very much looks to me as Brown is going to do the ultimate trying to destabilise the Tories and call the election on Monday! He has nothing to lose you see – If this means the Tories dont get a majority Brown will do it. If the Tories are deprived a majority I will be surprised if the stamped at the airports wont be of great media interest in itself!

          Game over? says:

          The only reason Brown was not deposed in the summer was Mandelson’s need to have him limp on to the very last possible moment and give them time to ensure Blair’s coronation in the EU. Labour know that the minute they replace the leader they’d be pressured into an immediate GE. Mandy is not daft, he knows his pet project is over. Brown is his puppet.

          Mandelson is running the show to ensure Blair (notable by his absence on the world stage at present) is installed as the EU President. To this end he needed the Irish to ratify and as much time as possible to get the Czechs and Poles to ratify as he can muster.

          Mandelson knows the game is up. Party over. But of course he’s moved onto dreaming of bigger things. Blair in control of the whole of the EU and no doubt key positions back in the EU (after the carnage of the June GE leaves the NuLabour project in tatters) for Blair’s favourites and key henchmen, Mandy included.

          Brown will be the fall guy and the NuLabour project will have served it’s course. Meanwhile Blair will oppose everything Dave does to reverse the last 12 years of shame thus making a new Conservative Government work within a constricted legislative environment regardless of the size of their Westminster majority.

          Will we ever be rid of Blair and Mandelson’s destruction of this country? Bastards!

      England, and later Britain, has played a significant part in European history for 1000 years. Our military interventions, our economic influence (first wool, then manufactured goods) and our intellectual might (after the Restoration of the Monarchy in the 17th century) have often been decisive in Europe, and mostly for the better. We did this as a free, independent nation.

            In my constituency UKIP has let in a europhile muppet as MP at the last election – how does that help ? UKIP’s policy (since it is based on blackmailing Cameron) is to ask me to cut off my nose to spite my face.

            The EU fight is unfortunately a long game not a short one. If you check on PB it is concern number 11 on people’s priorities at the moment. Also I hear the statement that we will withdraw and live ilke Norway, I doubt it will be that simple hence my feeling of a long protracted negotiation. I find UKIP’s position very much like the SNP with the UK. SNP bloggers try to create an atmosphere of hate for the english and then pretend there won’t be a backlash which will hurt Scotland.

            When I see something intelligent from UKIP I’ll look at it with an open mind but to me at present getting rid of Brown is the priority and irrespective of what you think of CMD ( and I have my own questions ) he is the best chance of getting a Brown out and a better relationship with other European countries.

            I do not hold to the view of now or never. European history is the story of elites ignoring the masses until there is violent change. The UK has avoided this largely through pragmatic adaption and compromise. If Euro elites think they can hold 700 million people together by ignoring them they are deluded and should look at the Ceaucescu regime to see where they are headed.

    Why is EU expansion somehow the “default” option and one has to justify limiting the expansion of the EU federal government, surely it should be the other way around?

    Regarding the referendum on our initial admission to the EU, surely one generation has no more right to impose a system of government on future generations, than one nation upon another?

        It’s notable that UKIP and beanpea have mep’s too, enjoying the EU gravy train.

        And it’s very cheap and easy for minority parties like UKIP to talk about coming out of Europe when they know that in reality they are never going to be big enough to have the power to bring such a thing about.

        I could promise tomorrow that if I inherited billions of pounds I would pledge it all to save the poor – it might make me look good – it might win me an election if I chose to stand – but I know that i’m never going to have that money therefore my promise is empty, as is theirs.

          In the absence of a referendum the next best thing which Dave or any incoming leader will easily do in about sixty years is to get a Civil Service and Local Government organisation that bats for Britain instead of the we invented fair play worshippers we’ve got running the show.

          Criteria needed starts with a brain runs down a spine and ends up with balls.

          1.Ability to see illegal immigrants as offenders to be booted out and not as poor souls deserving lots of our hard earned plus that house thats just become vacant.

          2.Ability to ignore loopy EU regs by losing files down the back of the draw and just not geting round to it yet. You’d think the lazy bastards would at least be able to do that.
          The French didn’t do this brilliantly regarding the abattoirs, which needed to be super duper, luxery, carpets and piped music, remember? Good old UK excelled itself and managed to shut dozens down. Froggies turned a blind eye and still have loads.

          3.Bit of pride. Froggies again. Germans didn’t like something on a Frogmobile a few years back [quelle surprise] so they couldn’t be sold in Germany. Suddenly big problem with registration of VWs into France. Result? Frogmobile suddenly AOK mien heir.

          4.Sense of what is required for security. Do you see French utility companies open to foreign ownership? German ones? No. They have a sensible interpretation of the rules.

          5. Sense of kinship. Did the Germans and French open their borders to unlimited numbers cheap workers from the newly joined countries?

          I don’t like the majority of EU output, but I like our feeble adoption roll over approach far less.

    I think David Camerons response is right , you could tell a lot of money had gone into the yes vote this time around , and with the irish economy in such a state the spun job fears was just enough to tip it . Also the euro currency had a certain inevitability , as you can no longer take a “punt” . In brussels it will be welcome to the family for Ireland . CW opposition to Lisbon and move to being out is not just right wing reactionary bile , this final stage of the project is being sneaked upon us , wich tells you alot about it in the first place .

    the pied piper (or even the prime mentalist) is blowing his charming melody that it will be a progressive move to build a more inclusive international social structure , he has conceeded to a TV debate to celebrate , wich makes me wonder why he was holding fire . This picture of a sort eutopia of trade and single bindng currency for all is very deceptive , all ready in the pipe line is a massive increase in contributions , the unelected president it all looks like a quango , a vast blob that will take in more resources as it controls our lives , not by the threat of a vote but by state control . What we are angry about with nu labour will simply be scaled up in the EU .

    ireland goverment will be a posh plebacite , it will talk like a supreme achievemnt , and it will get its alloted share of the wealth, for that is what the socialist project is , your alloted share as dictated unto you .

    It may be a decade before they realise what they have done , they will not control there boarders , interest rates will be whatever they are told they are , they will have to do business with whom they are told to , whatever is in the EU compendium of socialist foreign policies . It will move to being a high tax economy , the celtic tiger will be as extinct as the DoDo , the free spirit of running your own affairs will die . The elites will take there share and they will be unquestioned in there spending and projects .

    As for rest of conference so far I like it , i thought lansleys idea was so new its hard to appreciate it , but at least he teased somthing out into an area that will increasingly take up more general taxation as the Uks population ages , The labour attacks were predictable , but then again its a long time since any of us has heard more personal responsibility comming from a government minister even if a shadow one .

    If the socialists had been faced with1940 , they would have created a vast quango , spent all the money and gone to the IMF before a spitfire even took off . mind you the anti bullying spin would have made us a pushover anyway for the third reich

    Darren Strevens says:

    I have just sent this to the conservative party.

    Dear David,

    Please bear with me on this. I’m not a good writer, and I want to make my feelings on this clear.

    Where does the authority to take decisions on behalf of the people come from? Throughout history, it has been those with the most effective means of violence who ruled by force. With the advent of democracy, that situation changed. Authority no longer comes from the barrel of a gun but from the ballot box.

    When elected, labour included in its’ manifesto, a pledge to hold a referendum on the EU constitution. They have reneged on that promise. The renaming of this text to ‘Lisbon treaty’ does not absolve them of the responsibility to live up to commitments made to the UK people.

    Until we, the people of the UK, have a vote on this profound change to the way we are governed, any and all legislation and effects from this are democratically illegitimate. Therefore the people have no moral obligation to follow any EU legislation. I for one will not.

    If we are abandoning democracy, please ask yourself, what is the other option?

    N.B. I used to be a labour supporter. I would like to see a major party win the next election as the minor parties are unlikely to be able to effectively run the country. Having said that, I will not be voting for any party which does not explicitly state that there will be a referendum on the EU constitution / Lisbon treaty question.

    If we don’t have democracy, we have nothing.

    Many thanks for you patience on this and I look forward to a commitment to having a referendum, regardless of the ratification status of this treaty.

    Yours sincerely

    Darren Strevens.

    Ireland have voted on the Lisbon treaty, they voted against ratification. There were no pre conditions of vote until we get a yes, so the 2nd vote should be declared null and void. Cameron should give Britain the vote on the EU referendum based on the outcome of the Irish first vote and if that is not now possible, then he should give Britain a referendum on whether we stay in the EU or pull out completely, but don’t hold your breath because Cameron never intended to be in a position to fulfill his promise.

    On the ruins of the eternal and heir-based aristocracy of the Goyim we have set up the aristocracy of our educated class headed by the aristocracy of money.

    The entry qualifications to this aristocracy are based on wealth which is dependent upon us and on knowledge, which also comes from us, especially from our learned elders who have provided much inspiration.

    Firstly – UKIP have got about as much chance of forming a government or even getting MPs into double figures for that matter as it does raining tespoons – it’s bloody “fantasy island” time if you think otherwise

    Secondly – Voting UKIP will injure the Tory Vote and therefore quite probably result in either a “hung parliament” and Lib/Lab Pact Mk2 or another 5 years of Labour either way both parties are pro europe and have absolutely no intention of doing anything about abrogating the Treaty or holding a referendum whatever they put in their 2005 Manifestos

    Lastly – people complain that Cameron is “copping out” of the issue – well he’s the only hope any of you europhobes have got to get ANYTHING done about Lisbon

    So the two options are clear: –

    Vote UKIP – split the Tory vote and achieve absolutely zilch other than probably another 5 years of Labour and Blair

    Vote Conservative and have a chance of something being attempted on Lisbon however difficult its chance of success

    The BBC headline on the frontpage strikes me as one of the most biased I’ve seen in a long time.

    In the latest ticker:

    “Tory Leader David Cameron fails to give a promise of an unequivocal referendum…”

    and in the main news box

    “Tories maintain referendum stance: David Cameron refuses to commit to holding a referendum…”

    For starters, this is at most “No change in current policy from Conservative Party” but has been twisted into a personal attack on Cameron, using the word “fails” in one instance, leading the reader to believe that immediately demanding a referendum is the morally right decision, and Cameron is in some way shifty for not immediately demanding one (despite still demanding one unless circumstances change)

    That’s reinforced by the second line, “David Cameron refuses to commit” — which is tantamount to screaming “liar, liar, pants on fire.”

    I hope Cameron shuts the BBC down on his first day in number 10. Lies, lies, and more lies, from the bastard telly tax.

      Every major conflict has started in Europe.
      The fall of egypt (the invaders came from eastern europe) the expension of the roman empire.
      The medieval era (the dark ages was the early medieval period) including all of the crusades against the middle east (the pope loves land and loot)
      The seven years war (also known as the french and american indian war, which was close to being the real first world war) leading up to all of the modern day conflicts of the last two centuries and what is being started this centuary.

      The EU is only part of the project, the same old game is still being played.
      It’s called power, greed and not giving a shit about others (those who start to care get kicked out of the world aristocracy pretty damn sharpish.)

      MG, I’m assuming you’re a Conservative. So I’ll tell you this;

      If you want Cameron to get a landslide, and at the same time wipe out UKIP and the BNP, then he only has to do one thing; unequivocally say that he will call a referendum on the wider nature of our relationship with the EU – not just Lisbon. And do it sooner rather than later.

      The uproar from the EU, ZaNuLiebor and Al-Beeba will be immense, but if there’s one thing guaranteed to bring this country together with a real fighting spirit it is this issue.

      What has Cameron got to lose? If he *doesn’t* do it and lets Lisbon go though he’ll (a) find Blair is telling what to do and (b) be forever remembered as a quisling.

      If he does do it however, well …

      Atlas shrugged says:

      But even if there is a vote, what makes so many so sure the answer will be NO?

      Yes we know that if the vote was tomorrow it would be a clear No, but the vote will not be tomorrow, or even next month.

      Events and economic realities have a habit of happening, at times which always suit the needs of the establishment. Even when they sometimes do not, the establishment knows only too well that the people always come running back to the establishment when times get hard. In fact the harder things get, the more the people do so. They also know they have the entire MSM eating from their hand, so can spin any event the way they wish to spin it. A case in point being this recent Irish referendum.

      Far from seeing their economic situation as the fault of the EU, they have trusted their own establishment when they have dishonestly and repeatedly claimed that the EU is the only solution. Irish people are in reality no more stupid then any other people. Therefore the establishment will try the same thing here however much the £ plummets or other soul destroying realities get. The worse the better, as far as the establishment are concerned, and they know only too well that things are going to get very very much worse, especially once Ozzy gets to open the books.

      Therefore far from seeking a referendum, people should be publicly ignoring or loudly protesting every piece of legislation that comes from the European Commission, and doing so without exception. I know they will not do anything of the kind, because the establishment have been behind every large public protest the BBC have ever given coverage of. I would very much like to be proved wrong, as I would so many other things, we shall see.

    Old Timer says:

    Frankly, I have to say that there has been some right bollocks written today, some of it from posters who really should know better.

    As far as can be estimated at this time, the turnout to Vote was around 50% as against 53.1% last time. The loss of the NO vote can be firmly placed in the Courts of EU lies and distortions of truth and fact, and the very badly managed NO campaign, which had hung a NO vote on some very dubious claims, such as Catholic Ireland to introduce abortion clinics, to abandon its neutrality, to drop its minimum wage to just a euro eight-four an hour, etc. etc. etc.

    Indeed these claims were later seen to have been little more than scaremongering and did much to damage the NO vote campaign as the EU in various guises took such stupid claims apart.

    In my view the Irish voted YES for a couple of reasons. Firstly they are sick to the teeth with corrupt Government, and have seen what benefits EU membership brought with. Unfortunately they have failed to appreciate that the current fiscal situation is also part of what being within the EU brings. Had the NO campaign been more credible then this may have been more of an issue however the damage was done so much of what the NO campaign had to say was treated with suspicion. UK sit up and take notice.

    Like the UK, the Irish have also been bombarded with pro-EU propaganda, which also helped.

    Now look at the UK situation. Do you honestly think that 50% of the UK population will turn out to Vote on the Lisbon Treaty ? Do you really ??

    Every General Election from 1945 until 1997 saw broadly 70-75% of the population voting. That figure dropped sharply to 59.4% in 2001 before rising to 61.3% in 2005.

    The reason for the dramatic fall was established to be down to the fact that people saw little point in voting when the incumbent had such a massive majority. Even by 2005 when people were waking up to the fact that Labour were screwing both the Country and the Economy a large majority stayed at home even though doing so was and has since then hurt them massively.

    During the 2005 GE, I was talking to a young woman who was on the checkout at our then local supermarket. She was appalled with Bliar and what Labour were doing to the Country. When I asked if she was voting she said “No….there’s no point, they are all the same and in any case my single vote won’t help”

    There is a massive hill to be climbed with regards to the Lisbon Treaty Vote.

    Firstly, a sizeable people cannot be bothered to come out to vote Labour out of office, even though those same people know they are hurting and know that any Labour success would make them hurt even more. People have lost the interest in Political matters because all Governments have promised one thing in Opposition and then never delivered in Office.

    Secondly, there is a very sizable chunk of young to middle aged people who have lived all their lives, or at least the greater part of their lives within an environment where the EU has been a daily part. They have also been subjected to a huge amount of propoganda both covert and overt at school and at work, and socially. YES they get annoyed by EU stupidities but these in many cases turn out to be the British Civil Service doing what it does best and churning out masses more Regulation than is either sensible or indeed needed. This sizeable population thus does not see the EU for what it really is. Indeed they actually DO NOT CARE !

    Thirdly, the Lisbon Treaty has been couched in very vague terms. All EU Legislation of any import is simply so that it can be read in many different ways, and thus there can be no concerted opposition because all the Opposition does is to argue over detail and interpretation. The Left does not have to do anything like this, and indeed is well organised in its response across the EU.

    Talk to three different experts and you will get three very different views as to what it actually means. This is further compounded by EU propaganda which itself is designed to play down and concerns, something it does quite well, especially with the likes of the Liberal Elitist press.

    Fourthly it does not help when even some of our Heavyweights, such as Ken Clarke are so Pro-Europe. All this does is to divide up any Right Wing opposition, making it harder for anyone to identify with anyone other than UKIP, who incidentally actually pose a very serious threat to the Conservative Campaign, because together with the BNP they will do more harm to split the Right Wing vote than any small Party can do to Labour. Hence why Labour are now going on a concerted “hearts and minds” campaign to to stifle the impact of their potential vote splitters.

    Fifthly, unlike Ireland, we have a high percentage of poorly educated people, certainly within the working class and a smaller but still sizeable chunk of the Middle and Upper Middle classes. This is because the Educational Establishment in the public sector has been under the control of the Left since the 70s, and they have wrought their iron well. I was talking with a poster on another Forum who HATES Mrs Thatcher. It turns out that he is 15 ! Now he was not even born when Mrs Thatcher was in power yet he has been brain-washed through the school system to the stage where he believes without any shadow of a doubt the “The Tories” are the enemy of the working man for God’s sake. This is all down to lies, distortions, and deliberate disingenuity by Leftist leaning teachers, who unfortunately have had the run of the state education system for some 40 odd years now.

    Happily some clear water can be seen as the latest batch of children emerging from school have now lived throughout their lives under a Labour Government, albeit you would not believe the misconception of history and historical fact that has been distorted and twisted beyond all recognition by many Left Wing teachers. (Common Purpose ring any bells ?)

    The point here is that many people in their 20s/30s and some 40s are unable to intellectually grasp the wider impact of the Lisbon Treaty. Certainly many people younger, who have been brought up with news and information being delivered to them in “60 second soundbites”, do not have the intellectual ability to assimilate anything that cannot be churned out in Sun-Speak.

    There is little point in debating the finer detail points, which of course are where the danger lies – remember “the devil is in the detail”, because these will not be easily understood and in any case they can be somewhat complex when it comes down to the fine detail.

    So for all those of you who have bnerated the Irish, just think on. Can you see 50% of the population coming out to Vote on Lisbon ?

    And of those who do, how many will Vote YES simply because they have been psychologically conditioned in favour of the EU through our educational system.

Shite teachers yes, agreed. Too many. But I think you’re overestimating the effect that school has on the current generation.

      I wear myself out trying to convince a large minority that it’s worthwhile learning anything at all. If it’s an effort or they can’t have it ‘now’ many of them really don’t want to know. I’m a good teacher so I get there in the end, but it’s all uphill.

          That, of course, is going to be Labour’s line of attack next week in an attempt to disrupt the tory conference.

          I have a feeling they are going to fail.

          Meanwhile gordon, I hear, is off to Northern Ireland on Monday, grandstanding in an attempt to grab the headlines.

          Not sure what for perhaps the IRA are going to handover weapons or something. Oh wait !! they did that for Blair!

          He’ll be off to Afghanistan on Tuesday or Wednesday and bombarding the White House with demands for an Omaha meeting on Thursday.

          He’s obsessed with PR and proving to the world, through the media, that he is hyperactive. Except when there’s a crisis then he goes into hiding. What a wally!

        8/10 of everyone in England wants a referendum on the Eu, whether tory or otherwise, and the reason we won’t get one is because 8/10 want to leave the eu.

    Via BBC latest from Vaclav Klaus

    But the Czech president today sent a message that in a sense was telling the Tories not to depend on a Czech delay. He said that after today’s referendum “there will never be another referendum in Europe”. He was then asked whether he had a message for Britain. “I am afraid,” he replied, “that the people of Britain should have been doing something really much earlier and not just now, too late, saying something and waiting for my decision”.

    There will be the usual load of noise. briton moaning, as it always does.
    Last election there was a choice, vote for a load of known liars, where people have died for lies, or, make a principled change.
    Guess what they lied about the euro vote, what a fucking surprise.
    But hell, we believed them, the rotters, not being british that, have to play by the rules.
    What rules, the house price rules.
    It’s said the public get the government it deserves, WRONG, the government got the people it deserved.

    One thing is for sure: I won’t ever be flying Ryanair again, after their support for the EU constitution. I don’t suppose they’ll worry about my average of 6-8 flights per year, but if others boycott them as well, we could start to send a small message that we really do not want this Ryanair-supported european superstate.

    Companies are there to be supported or boycotted. Ultimately, the market will decide. We are all part of the market, and our custom is far more important than our votes.

    OTT.

    Just to lighten the tone a little, a story now on Aunty Beeb regarding the lovely Harriet HarmMen.
    “Labour’s deputy leader Harriet Harman is co-operating with police over claims she left the scene of a minor car accident.”

    Nightmare before bed time.

    Let’s say Brown is no longer on medication.
    Let’s also say that He needed something to get the country behind him, something that would rock the voting public, something that could get him back into office.

    Let’s say after Camerons main speach to conference, Brown went live to the BBC and said He had decided ‘THE COUNTRY IS GETTING A REFERENDUM!”

    The tories would be in dissaray, the public (certainly enough of them) would be back on side and his old enemy Blair would be well and truly scr*wed.

    If Brown and Zanu were to have any chance whatsoever of winning an election, this really would be it.

    Sweet dreams.

    Susie says:

    That would be a beautiful dream, not a nightmare, I’d vote no in the referendum and then vote Conservative later on…

    Cameron’s got enough on his plate with UKIP and the obverse scenario is if he says to the EU, “We never had a referendum, we’re going to have one as we promised we would as did every other party. We don’t consider ourselves bound by a previous government’s illegal actions and we’ll let you know pending on the referendum result.”

    If they fine us, we withold our contributions arguing that it was Brown who signed it without authority to d so, so take it up with him and the Labour party.

    Not_a-Tory_or Labour says:

    This is the crazy Tory logic.

    UK should not be part of a block of other countries because we lose our sovereignty and decision making powers to another body.

    But Scotland, ales and Northern Ireland MUST remain part of the UK because it is the union. Their decision making powers are made by Parliament in London. What about Scottish, Welsh and Irish sovereignty? If the Tories are so concerned about national sovereignty, why not independence for them?

    Answer that and stay fashionable.

Prezza breaks with Labour to tell Adam Boulton:

“I don’t like you but I don’t want to put you under statutory control.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
