        It looks like a mash-up of Brown, Blair and Marr.

          And Napoleon.

          • R.McGeddon says:

            with Prince Charles’ ears ?

          • jgm2 says:

            By the way. If Blair thinks he’s going to be EU president then I can guarantee that somewhere there is a Frenchman who will be proving him wrong.

            Whatever deal Blair thinks he has will be reneged upon as surely as the French planted one of their guys at the head of the ECB when I seem to recall a Dutch guy was the one they’d all thought they’d agreed on.

          • jgm2 says:

            Those are Marr’s ears.

          • Phil O'Pastree says:

            The French had invested a small fortune in Saddam’s Iraq which is worth a bag of sweeties now. They’ll not forget Blair’s pivotal role.

            This is disgusting toilet humour and I find it only makes the posts harder to read.

          • Old Nick Heavenly says:

            Points against Emperor Tone1.

            1. Warmonger: the Europeans do not want another war at any price.

            2. Anglo-Saxon financial Model: the Landesbank bought AAA rated derivatives from London and New York.

            3. Godown Brownstuff: Bliar made Doom the boss of this shite and them imposed the loonie upon United Condom. The leaders of Europe have been forced to deal with Loonie face to face!

            How would you feel if somebody had introduced the King of Charm, Gordoom into your social circle.

            4. Fucking Horrible Wife.

            Empress Slotty lording it over Carla and everybody else’s wife!
            Serious earache from wives!

            Points for.

            1. International figure who knows everybody.

            This job is Sarko’s. He might let Tone do it for a while, but not for too long.

            Whatever way it falls we now have The Holy Brussels Empire with our glorious national leaders as the Prince Electors.

            Doesn’t look a bit like Blair – though it looks vile enough! Insult to Nelson, has brown’s gammy eye, Obama’s ears (although he has got huge ears), and a Napoleonic type of hat. A complete mish mash! Can’t we have a GOOD cartoonist? There are plenty of them about, viz Private Eye!

        Actually, the Irish are universally renowned for their stupidity, something reinforced by their doltish volte-face on the referendum. The Irish are too stupid even to make up their minds on the simple question of whether they accept or reject the European Constitutional Treaty.

          Can someone explain to me, if the Irish have already voted NO, why are they having to vote again

          • Robin Hoodie says:

            Wrong answer to the question!

            They would have to vote until they gave the correct question. Again, and again.

            The French and the Dutch also voted NO. Didn’t make a difference at all.

            At least when the Germans take over Europe, we won’t get any trains running late!

            Blair will be the first President, followed closely by a Frenchie. Real closely, after all our rights have been signed away forever.

    Inglorious Basterd says:

    British: Austin, Morris, Vanden Plas, Wolsey, Riley, MG & Rover, forever gone. Jaguar-Land Rover owned by TATA motors of India.

    German: BMW, Rolls Royce Motors, Bentley, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, Siemens, Man Turbo, Man Bus & Trucks, Liebherr, Bosch et al, all alive and kicking.

    French: Citroen, Peugeot, Renault, 320 km/h Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer, Electricité De France now responsible for the UK nuclear electricity.

    The German word “Gleichschaltung” is used in a political sense to describe the process by which the Nazi regime successively established a system of totalitarian control over the individual, and tight coordination over all aspects of society and commerce.

    Modern Germany have succeeded peacefully where Hitler, at a cost of 70 milion lives failed. Britain didn’t win the second world war, France & Germany did and are now rubbing our noses well and truly in it.

    Making Blair the President of the German Gleichschaltung would simply rub Himalayan edible salt into the wound.

      You don’t say much about French stuff there. Their car industry is in crisis.
      And all the things you’ve mentioned get massive subsidies. Do you long for the good old days of Britain in the 1970s?

      Having said all that the 125 was a damn good train.

      • 60
        Dr David's sparky says:

        true. The French have bet everything on electric cars produced by Renault and Peugeot and powered by nuclear generation. Once the Global Warming scam is fully exposed the bottom falls out of these £30k mickey mouse cars – goodbye French car industry and what’s left of its industrial base.

        The Germans and their like, the Dutch, Austrians, Swiss and Nordics will continue to be and are the industrial powerhouse of Europe.

        • 66
          jgm2 says:

          I would expect them 30K cars to come down in price with mass production. And France has so much spare electrical capacity they’ll cost bugger all to run.

          It then becomes an issue of reliability an maintenance costs. But if I could pay (say) 15K for a car that cost fuck all in fuel and lasted at least as long as a petrol car then I’d be interested. It would probably pay for itself in five or six years.

          I think the problem is that basically the amount of money you save in fuel is equal to the cost of completely replacing your batteries every 12K miles. So no saving at all.

          • Samee says:

            They will come down in price over the next few years and range/performance will increase. As far as reliability goes, there’s only one moving part in an electric motor, compared to thousands in a combustion engine/clutch/gearbox.

          • jgm2 says:

            I know about the more reliable motor argument. It’s the batteries that are the problem innit. Cost, weight, replacement.

          • Ivor Ukip-Schwartzporsche says:

            Oh that’s alright then unless you work for the thousands of service stations, garages and spare parts suppliers who spend their wages in your bakers, florists, computer stores, etc

          • Tin Cunliffe-Arsely says:

            I’d be more worried about range.

            Oh and Mr shwartzporche, thats broken windows economics.
            I’m old enough to remember the last of the wolsleys, and even up to the mid 80′s I seem to rember cars breaking down and needing to be fixed all the bloody time. So are we better off or worse off since cars became dramatically more reliable about 20-25 years ago? (unless you were daft enough to buy a renault perhaps).

          • Ivor Ukip-Schwartzporsche says:

            Tim Cunliffe-It was a fair point and you make yours. Seriously we do have to consider employment. What would really happen if there was no crime and vehicles had anti-crash prevention technologies, etc. Answer without alternative employment=more unemployment less salary to go round and round. Do tesco’s really employ more people than the previous myriad of High Street specialists? As on ‘cars’ that is my field and has been for 30 years and continues with new technology of the type I describe.

          • Mr Ned says:

            Electric cars only shift the carbon generation. What we need are the hydrogen cars. Better range better reliability, refueled in the same tome as petrol cars ( not 5 hours to re-charge batteries ) and these cars also produce enough electricity to power your home too.

          • Tin Cunliffe-Arsely says:

            Shwartzporche. Do you know all about “broken window economics”?

          • Mongrel says:

            Clearly doesn’t, Tin. The thing about your broken window economics is that it gives work to those who might otherwise be unemployable, so they are kept off the streets and are engaged in society. In an ideal world they might be doing something useful, making stuff for export for instance, and our economy would not be so dependent on the City, but that seems a long long way away.

          • Ivor Ukip-Schwartzporsche says:

            Mongrel- I see your point about broken window economics but I think that you have missed mine: If you improve to such an extent, whether by automation or reliability, then there can’t be people employed to sustain themselves, their ambitions of betterment nor the wider economy. That was my point about replacing cars with electric cars which may well have simple non- servicable motor. Further more; improvements were recognised in crap cars of the 70′s and made good by people who had the benefit of repairing them.-Giving further opportunities for disenfranchised businesses to start up on the back of that need. Another example: If there was no crime we wouldn’t need locksmiths, alarms, insurance, glaziers, stolen product replacement and police. lets all retire and do nothing is the unrealistic alternative.

          No worries, we’re going to run our cars on wind and wave power according to Millitwit (involves a 60 ft. concrete dam across the Severn Estuary and one 180 ft. wind turbine every square kilometer of the country).

          That is if there’s any left over from whatever industry and agriculture (we have left’s) requirements, domestic heating and cooking, trains and whether or not the wind’s blowing.

      Face it mate, it’s got nothing to with ‘Two Wars, One World Cup’ and other shite, you were always shit, going back centuries, Francis Drake et al, as pirates, plundering Spanish gold; rum, sodomy and the lash, keeping you violent retards in line in the ‘Royal’ Navy and your ‘wealth’ was down to Amsterdam money changers setting up shop as a base for their criminal cabal in London in the late 1600s.

        You neatly leapfrogged the British Empire (which kicked off with the subjugation of the Scotch) – the greatest and most benign Empire the World has ever known.

        • 84
          jgm2 says:

          The Scotch were forced to join the British Empire thanks to their bankrupting themselves in the Darien Adventure (look it up).

          The nation that was actually subjugated was Ireland – at which point the British Empire really took off. The rot set in when Ireland left.

          Ireland. The Alpha and Omega of the British Empire.

      The Invisible Cloak Of Credibility.

      G Brown happily wrapped this already threadbare article around himself the day he assumed office at number 10. Many before some justifiably, content in its ability to cover and hide the truth of irrelevance of those that take high office and claim to govern on behalf of the British people.

      Those that seek to persuade the voter that the disastrous costly mistakes of those that went before, is, nothing to do with him, his party or their ideas.

      Ever the cry of the failed scheme the incompetent the liar the cheat, is a fresh start, a new leaf, another chance, and of course jam tomorrow.

      The cloak stained with the blood of brave, the sweat of financially overburdened, and the ink of the press, lay once more upon the dirt, its power of credibility long since spent.

      Another now seeks to use its dubious powers.

      Well yes I know I have not earned your trust, do not possess a CV, nor have any proven experience in the job whatsoever. But! I have a plan. I intend to make it up as I go along, cut my experience along the way at your expense. Just view it as on the job training, and of course if I’m no good you can always sack me at the next election, but I and my mates will be richer than Croesus by then so Nah nah, na nah Narrrr.

          • Jan says:

            I’m not surprised that local councils are financially broke.Just read in the ES that two London boroughs paying out £366,000 for two families on HOUSING BENEFIT.They have large families (so most probably not British)They have become accustomed to living in areas like Camdem where housing is expensive.However local letting agents say that even though rents in that area are high the rent charged to council are grossly over-inflated. Why should people on benefits get houses that cost £2,000 PER WEEK???.This is absolutely scandalous and should be stopped immediately.What are the tossers at the council thinking of?So,we have people living in areas like Notting Hill,Kensington and Chelsea,Camdem and Richmond living in over-priced, luxurious properties. You poor old council taxpayers….They can’t move them to cheaper boroughs like Dagenham because I understand Nu-Liebor brought out some kind of ruling that people should be allowed to stay in the London borough where they have always lived??????

          I believe there is a precedent for a person of Semitic origin to head up the Christian Church. Look above any altar or in any New Testament for details. In many ways, I’m better qualified to be Pope than Tony is.

    Meanwhile back at the ranch,

    The way for Cameron to secure a massive majority AND kick the legs from under the eurotrash collaborators is to promise a referendum IF the treaty has NOT been ratified when/if he is elected BUT if the treaty has been ratified before he is elected then he could promise the nuclear option to the UK voter and that is?

    A full referendum on EU membership!

    Can you imagine the consternation in Brussels and from the eurotrash quislings here in the UK?
    Cameron would be in the fantastic position of being seen to offer a POSITIVE package to the electorate by stating that they would offer the voter something that has been denied to them for decades and the eurotrash would be forced to offer a wholly NEGATIVE package consisting of denying the voter a chance for the long denied vote on federal integration.

    The eurotrash would be in turmoil and caught on the back foot, they would have to offer massive concessions to Cameron if he announced the above policy straight away.

I reckon it will come next year some time (most likely) or the year after. Austerity is looming. There will be savage cuts and huge job losses. It’s inevitable, as is the fallout. There will be rioting in the streets, but the protesters won’t have a common purpose this time around, unlike in the 1980s. There will be conflicting interest groups, but the politicians will be their target. It will be fascinating to watch. A lot of skulls are going to get smashed in. The poll tax riots of 1991 will be nothing compared to what’s coming.

      The whole negative weight of the EU would then fall apon the Tories but maybe it would be worth it. We would get a vote on this is the point. I actually want a NO but if it turned out the result fairly done was YES then I would accept that so long as I had the chance to voice an opinion.

      The vote would show a resounding NO which is why they refuse to give us one. One of the main contributors to the EU saying NO would never be allowed.

      Seth the pig farmer says:

      Cameron could only make progress if he articulated a strong, positive alternative to the EU as it is currently forced upon us. Many, if not most, agree that there are benefits to the EU but object to the lack of democracy, the blatant fraud, self serving functionaries, the arbitrary application of petty regulations and stifling of dissent. The good does not outweigh the bad, and you can die of being force fed the finest food.

      The EU project has more in common with China and Russia than the USA or India. It is telling that the EU is not seen as one of the great democracies of the world.

      I am sure that there would be broad support amongst the Nordic and East European countries for a sensible pairing back of the the EU to focus on trade issues – perhaps even Germany after the recent election results. The EU needs a new direction, and someone needs to articulate and provide leadership.

      I suggeset that you read some of Thatchers speeches from the second have of the 1970′s. Even if you don’t agree with everything she said, she laid out her case for change underpinned by a philosophical argument. Every criticism of the then Labour government was based on a coherent and rational opinion. The bitch fight that goes for politics today is an obscenity.

      The EU project is a potentially worthy cause built on a flawed foundation of dictorial arrogance combined with the back room deals, stifling of dissent through the arbitrary application of unjust and immoral laws and bribary with our own money.

      Treat the voters with respect – they may even surprise you with their willingness to accept change rather than have it forced upon them in a not-so-subtle attempt to create a political system that is controlled in perpetuity by unelected self appointed functionaries.

          Mr Ned says:

          Labour never wanted “in Europe not run by Europe”. They want a federal Europe dictatorship. That is why we stand today on the cusp of such a reality. Post final Lisbon ratification. “in Europe but not run by Europe” will not be an option. We either get out, or we are forced by the terms of that treaty to comply with ALL their further steps of integration, no matter how extreme. Lisbon gives the EU dictatorship the power to grant themselves infinate power unapposed in the future.

          • Reality Check - again!! says:

            I wish you were correct BUT I’m afraid that THERE is little that Cameron can do effectively once the Treaty is ratified by the Poles and Czechs and comes into effect. He can hold a referendum as promised but if as expected the vote is “No” what the does he do ? He could then legitimately go to the EU and say that the British People have rejected the Treaty and wishes to re-negotiate – the EU says basically “Sod Off!” He then says he intends to abrogate the treaty or rather threatens to unless it’s re-negotiated – the EU says “Fine – it’s not being re-negotiated!”The UK government starts to disrupt the workings of the EU. The EU responds by stating that the UK’s full membership is suspended. So then Cameron has to probably call ANOTHER referendum asking the British people if they wish to continue their membership of the EU or withdraw.

            All this of course will take place against the backdrop of a plummetting sterling;increased unemployment and take up government and parliamentary time.Meantime the oppositiition and “Yes” campaigners both outside and in the media will be having field day and forecast all sorts of doomsday scenarios. Cameron and the Conservatives back a “No” Vote what then happens as if in Ireland the “Yes” vote wins the second referendum which is possible after weeks/months of scaremongering by the EU and its supporters .Cameron would then have to call an election or resign and then quite possibly Labour would return to power.

            The Conservatives then move further to the right under possible the leadership of Dan Hannan and are never elected again.A truism in British politics is no party on the far left or far right of politics(or even quite right of centre)has or ever will form a government in the UK

            The result would be that 5 years of a Conservative government would then have come to nothing , squandered time.goodwill and support over the matter that divided Party and Country in the past – Europe. The thing that has kept the Conservative Party out of power for 12 years but it appears some on the right of the party “have learnt nothing and forgotten nothing” as someone said of Louis XVIII.

            The treaty is a “fait accompli” and if the Poles/Czechs ratify we simply have to get on with making the best of a bad job.

            And as for those that say that people will take to the streets over Lisbon – dream on – they won’t – the majority of the British Electorate don’t give a monkey’s.It’s all a bit like someone trying to ovethrow the government saying “the people are behind me” only to find their too busy watching “Eastenders” or “Corrie” or “X Factor”.

            Scots have got form in the signing away their sovereignty — they did it in 1707 after the collapse of the Darien Scheme:

            http://www.parliament.uk/actofunion/02_02_darien.html

            So it’s no surprise another Scot has buggered up again…

            http://www.parliament.uk/actofunion/02_03_future.html

            In Scotland, however, the case for union found much favour among its political elite during the 1690s, mainly because of the poor state of the economy. In 1699, there were discussions between politicians in London and Edinburgh about how the developing political crisis over Darien might be resolved, and the English side acknowledged that a union might be in ‘both Nation’s interest’. The Scots hoped for a union ‘of trade’ with vital access to English colonial markets. By early 1700 these talks had hardened into a legislative proposal backed by the King. At Westminster a bill for negotiating a union passed the Lords, but was thrown out in the Commons. This example of continuing English inflexibility did little to dispel the intense anti-English attitudes that were rife in Scotland.

            So for the next few centuries we are in the same position as the Scots were in the early 18thC. I wonder when or where Culloden II will occur?

          • bandersnatch says:

            Superb analysis, Reality check – again.

            A referendum has to be about some future decision to be made, and the government consults the electorate as to their wishes. The Gorgon has signed in Lisbon on behalf of the UK already (albeit he did so late , on his own, and with a bad grace.) In my book that is it, as far as the Lisbon treaty legalities are concerned from the UKs point of view.

            Cameron’s floating of the idea that because the Polish and Czech PMs haven’t yet signed on the dotted line means that the whole thing is ‘still under discussion’ is dubious in my book. True the treaty doesn’t have the force of law yet, but we, the UK, have shot our bolt. (Yes, New-labour SAID there would be a referendum but they didn’t allow us one).

            If the Poles and Czechs do sign on the dotted line and all 27 countries have therefore ratified it, the treaty is in force, and any so called ‘referendum on the Lisbon treaty’ in the UK after that would be plain daft. It would just be an opinion poll, and 26 nations will say: “Huh?’ Don’t you know it’s all done and dusted, chaps?”

            Cameron’s first option, if he comes to power with the treaty already in force, is either to try and get some Maggie Thatcher-style UK opt out clauses for the stuff he most objects to (fat chance, Dave); or option 2, is to lobby hard with like-minded MEPs and other PMs and bigwigs within the Union to get EU-wide agreement on the things he wants changed. Course number three is to go home, go to bed, and pull the blankets up over his head. Course number 4, the nuclear option, is to attempt pull out of the EU altogether which would indeed require a referendum, which is likely to be lost IMNSHO.

          • I'll have some of that says:

            Reality check – it’s a great pity that a substantial minority of the Tory party don’t recognise this analysis. The incessant jabbering about a “referendum” is a complete red herring. What’s the question to be? As others have pointed out the electorate couldn’t give a monkeys. UKIP? A complete waste of time and space. A flea on an elephant.

            The old Tory fault line is opening up – the Beeb just LOVE it. This is going to be like defence was for Labour in the 80′s. Ideological purity at the expense of power.

            The constitution etc is done and dusted. Obama wants to phone Europe – not the UK (hence the G4 proposal). And he’ll want to have Tony answering the phone.

            The issue then becomes how our Government repatriates those powers that enable us to live more freely. How to define how we want to live, and then go about getting it. How do you frame a referendum question to deal with that? The French, Italians et al seem to have pretty much an a la carte approach to what the EC is about. It’s our lot that seem to “gold plate” every regulation and drive us into a state of bureaucratic insanity.

            The next Government has horrendous problems to confront. The Beeb will be jubilantly reporting the riots. The currency will be going down the toilet. There will be strikes all over the place. If the likes of gobshite Hannan would rather have their ideological purity than a majority Tory government then we’re even more fucked.

          • HMRC's Bleeding Stone says:

            While I agree with Reality Check’s points, there is one bargaining point the threat of withdrawal would have.

            Britain pays, what is it? £100m/week into the EU pot (I don’t know the precise figure, but it’s huge). If we were to leave, either the French & Germans would have to make that up or some of the net beneficiaries would have to take cuts. Could you imagine Sarkozy & Merkel having to put up their taxes to plug the hole?

            It’s not much, but as one of the EU’s biggest net contributors, the threat of Britain leaving is far more uncomfortable to them than, say, Latvia or Romania doing it.

          Wim Duesemburg was the guy I was alluding to.

          Wiki…

          Owing to the success of his monetary policy, he became well-known in other European countries, and this led to his appointment in 1998 as the first president of the new European Central Bank in Frankfurt, much to the chagrin of France, who wanted a French candidate. A compromise was agreed upon (although publicly denied by all parties) whereby Duisenberg would serve for at least four years, upon which the Frenchman Jean-Claude Trichet, director of the Banque de France, would take over. In 1999, Duisenberg received the Vision for Europe Award in recognition of his efforts toward the unification of Europe.

          Duisenberg announced he would retire on 9 July 2003, (his 68th birthday), but he remained in office until Trichet was cleared of charges of fraud in connection with the collapse of the French bank Crédit Lyonnais.

          At best Blair will get one or two years in post and then the French candidate will assume power indefinitely.

          The EU is run solely for the benefit of the French.

          If any ‘good’ does accrue to any other country it is purely an accidental by-product.

          • Rewrite history says:

In this European taxpayer funded clip, they imply that the Berlin wall and the entire Eastern Bloc fell because of the EU, when in fact it was political unrest from the pissed off people against their corrupt masters.

Unless someone with real leadership comes along to reform the UK and The EU we are doomed to just trundle along getting ever closer a European Union that does not work democratically, socially and economically.

    Seth the pig farmer says:

    Cameron could only make progress if he articulated a strong, positive alternative to the EU as it is currently forced upon us. Many, if not most, agree that there are benefits to the EU but object to the lack of democracy, the blatant fraud, self serving functionaries, the arbitrary application of petty regulations and stifling of dissent. The good does not outweigh the bad, and you can die of being force fed the finest food.

    The EU project has more in common with China and Russia than the USA or India. It is telling that the EU is not seen as one of the great democracies of the world.

    I am sure that there would be broad support amongst the Nordic and East European countries for a sensible pairing back of the the EU to focus on trade issues – perhaps even Germany after the recent election results. The EU needs a new direction, and someone needs to articulate and provide leadership.

    I suggeset that you read some of Thatchers speeches from the second have of the 1970’s. Even if you don’t agree with everything she said, she laid out her case for change underpinned by a philosophical argument. Every criticism of the then Labour government was based on a coherent and rational opinion. The bitch fight that goes for politics today is an obscenity.

    The EU project is a potentially worthy cause built on a flawed foundation of dictorial arrogance combined with the back room deals, stifling of dissent through the arbitrary application of unjust and immoral laws and bribary with our own money.

    Treat the voters with respect – they may even surprise you with their willingness to accept change rather than have it forced upon them in a not-so-subtle attempt to create a political system that is controlled in perpetuity by unelected self appointed functionaries.

    The Queen's servant, but God's first says:

    Read and be damned, Labour

    The official version of the new constitutional treaty is almost unreadable for most non-specialists, as it takes the form of a series of amendments to the existing treaties, without reproducing the existing text which it would alter.

    The new treaty ( Lisbon) effectively alters the existing treaties to bring them into line with the rejected European Constitution.

    Several EU leaders have admitted that the new treaty has been made deliberately inaccessible:

    The author of the Constitution, Valery Giscard d’Estaing, has said that “All the earlier proposals will be in the new text, but will be hidden and disguised in some way.”

    Former Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato has said that: “They decided that the document should be unreadable. If it is unreadable, it is not constitutional, that was the sort of perception… Should you succeed in understanding it at first sight there might be some reason for a referendum, because it would mean that there is something new.”

    Belgian Foreign Minister Karel de Gucht has said that, “The aim of the Constitutional treaty was to be more readable; the aim of this treaty is to be unreadable… The Constitution aimed to be clear, whereas this treaty had to be unclear. It is a success.”

    Some opponents of a referendum have even argued that the “new” treaty is shorter than the old constitution and so therefore cannot be substantively the same thing. This is a dishonest argument.

    The new treaty, in its unconsolidated form, contains only the “active ingredients” – the changes which were proposed by the original Constitution. However, once it is turned back into consolidated text it becomes obvious that the “new” treaty essentially edits the existing treaties to bring them into line with the rejected constitution.

    “The manifesto is what we put to the public. We’ve got to honour that manifesto. That is an issue of trust for me with the electorate.”

    (Gordon Brown, interview, 24 June 2007)

    “The new Constitutional Treaty ensures the new Europe can work effectively… We will put it to the British people in a referendum.”

      Mr Ned says:

      That is absolutely correct. The reason for the constitutional treaty was to replace many older treaties altogether and have one universal treaty become the legal basis for the EU’s constitution, establishing for the first time a ‘legal personality’ for the EU itself.

      When this constitutional treaty was rejected twice, the EU decided to amend all the earlier treaties to make them create the exact same legal framework as was proposed in the constitutional treaty.

      That is why the Lisbon treaty is called the ‘reform’ treaty as it reforms all the previous treaties in such a way as to create a patched up constitutional treaty.

      The effect in law is identical.

          “but buried in Lord Justice Laws’s judgment was a highly significant point generally missed. Reporting on the case suggested that EU law must now override the wishes of Parliament in all respects.

          Hence, for instance, the front page of The Sun which carried the one-word headline “Surrender”. But this was not what the judge said. He was anxious to underline that Parliament has no power to give away its sovereignty.

          EU law can only override the will of Parliament because Parliament agrees to allow it do so through the European Communities Act. But there is nothing in this Act, the judge explained, which allows the EU or any of its institutions, including the European Court of Justice, to “qualify the conditions of Parliament’s legislative supremacy in the United Kingdom.”

    there is more chance of tony blair being assassinated than of him becoming the president of the EU.
    the EU will not allow tony to continue to be protected by his CIA bodyguards instead of by european bodyguards and without those CIA bodyguards blair’s a dead man.
    it is simply a matter of logistics and perception.
    if american bodyguards are protecting the EU president then the EU looks weak, too weak to defend itself.

    Can you imagine what would happen in America if, after Obama becoming president, Bush had just said “what you say, Obama, is irrelevant; my party’s just been booted out because of ruining the economy and starting an illegal war, but I’m going to run an organisation which can force you to do whatever we want you to do and there’s fuck all you or the electorate can do about it” ?

    There’d be an immediate civil war if that kind of thing happened in the states. It wouldn’t just be a polite demonstration; they’d have full blown civil war, and rightly so.

    Cameron; get off your arse and tell the electorate that you simply won’t accept a situation of blair (or some other labour bastard) becoming president of the EU. If that means leaving the EU then so be it. Some things (notably our own basic democratic freedoms) need to be stood-up for, some things are absolute and should never be allowed to happen.

Anyone who wants an armed citizenry is a nut – according to them – and people like George Orwell who though it essential for liberty that the workman’s cottage should a have rifle on the wall well…. that was *then* eh? Things are different now. We don’t need guns, we have the government to look after us. And they’re nice. And they’ll *always* be nice…

          This is a sovereign nation, Parliament is STILL sovereign as Christopher booker noted in 2002:

          “EU law can only override the will of Parliament because Parliament agrees to allow it do so through the European Communities Act. But there is nothing in this Act, the judge explained, which allows the EU or any of its institutions, including the European Court of Justice, to “qualify the conditions of Parliament’s legislative supremacy in the United Kingdom.

          Not because the legislature chose not to allow it; because by our law it could not allow it.” The EU cannot overrule Parliament: “Being sovereign, it cannot abandon its sovereignty.”

          If Parliament wishes to withdraw from the EU by repealing the European Communities Act, the judge confirmed, it is entirely free to do so. It is equally free to enact laws which contradict EU law, although these must state explicitly that this is the intention.”

          If only Cameron had the balls to enshrine our soveriegn law as being paramount over EU diktats in some sort of British Constitution and Bill of Rights.

          Perhaps that is what he means by not letting matters rest?

          I hope we have definitive answers by the time the next election is called. Unlike some, I do not give a rat’s ass if Cameron does not want to answer what that means now, or not give a promise now. I mean, in 7 months, most people will have completely forgotten what was and was not said at this tory conference.

          So long as I know at the time I am about to place my X on a ballot paper, what Cameron means by not letting matters rest, That will satisfy me.

          If he does NOT stand up for British Sovereignty, he will NOT get my vote. END OF!

            Paul Van Buitenan – (this feller http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_van_Buitenen) – testified that when he announced his intention to go public on EC corruption, he was shown by a european commission security contractor invoices for pistols, sub-machine guns, hollowpoint ammunition (dum-dums), sniper rifles, silencers. Some of that has been admitted by the EC (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/1999/jan/08/4). However, Van Buitenan also told my then colleague at Index on Censorship, Michael Griffin, that he took this as a threat to him personally.

            Now, the EC budgets have not been signed off for decades, hundred and hundreds of millions of euros have simply vanished. The EC is *known* to have funnelled a great deal of this money to the Mafia via bogus agricultural schemes in Italy, to criminal gangs in Greece for bogus tobacco farms. Do we assume this is accidental? Why? Decade on decade, hundreds of millions are distributed to murderous gangs, anyone who investigates is fired or disciplined, and when they turn against the EC, even get elected as MEPs, they find block votes preventing investigation (http://www.theparliament.com/no_cache/latestnews/news-article/newsarticle/eu-parliament-blocks-whistleblowers-bid-for-key-budget-post/) – and we think this is just evidence of incompetence?

At the same way pathing a way for Blair into the presidency.

    They also told the country that Blair would serve a full third term and of course if had done then he would not able to be European president.

        Some of it is good. Attenborough, Top gear – I’d be happy to pay for that. But most of the rest is shite – propagandist shite, moreover – and I *will* not pay for it. They’re more than welcome to take me to court.

        Give yourselves a treat – I accidentally found myself on BBC3 called… Stupid vs Clever, or something like that.

      I remeber this morning’s news on BBC24

      One part of it highlighted some findings of some woodmen from the Arboretum in Gloucester. These findings revolved around the discolouration of Japanese Maples (Acers) in their forest. The suggestion was that this was due to climate change. The BBC interviewer asked what each of us back home could do about it. The reply was that we should all add mulch to the trees.

      My response to that, after laughing for minutes, was that we should add some mulch to the BBC – right outside its front door! The assumption this this change to the trees was because of climate change, and that this was assumed to be correct by all concerned WAS BOLLOCKS – just like the BBC

    Not in dispute either is that JP Morgans in London are being investigated by the FSA for pooling clients’ assets with its own for trading with, after which the banksters are unable to account for £8.5 billion (sic) of clients’ money. That’s an awful lot of moolah.

      The attraction to lording it over a couple of billion people with his shitgobbed lower chav class missus is the prime reason for him to be ensconced in that position.

      quite what the tories think they can do about it is beyond me, in fact itll give him a hard on (well a limp semi maybe) to think he’ll have gotten one over on them as well, “im senior to you camo “, that kind of thing.
      If cambodian thinks the likes of Tony B Liar is listening to anything he has to say, well he’s in a world of his own…pillock him.
      besides, he’s got all his mates in eurolalaland to support him, so he’ll support them. All good friends and jolly good company.

      Remember this is the Hunt who cocked a deaf un when over a million people protested about Iraq, who continues to think he’s right, likely had Kelly knocked off and has taken taken and taken since he got in to authority- the continued allure of such power doesnt fade with a pond dweller of his stature.

      The only positive thing about him getting the position is that a couple of billion people will be gunning for him, hopefully he’ll get his for the lives he’s destroyed.

    ‘In his keynote speech to the Labour Party Conference in Brighton on 29 September, the Prime Minister said that from April 2011 employees who join an employer-supported voucher scheme will not be entitled to the existing exemptions. This will have a major impact on salary sacrifice schemes, casting doubt over the future of what had been a popular employee benefit, saving employers thousands of pounds’

      Atlas shrugged says:

      Perhaps this is because the BBC knows something that you dont. Which usually explains situations that otherwise would may make little, or no sense at all.

      First it has to become a well know fact of life, that the BBC is a part of the BRITISH therefore WORLD establishment working wholly for said establishment. The BBC has ALWAYS been doing so, whether a majority of politicians, or the victims employed by the BBC know it to be the case, or not.

      Given the above crystal-clear, and over-established premiss.

      Dialectics still have a role to play. Which is why Cameron has been instructed by his masters to form a new political grouping. This grouping will be as controlled by the establishment, as all other political groupings have always been. However if will serve the Common Purpose of creating a new type of establishment controlled dialectic opposition to full on Communism/Fascism.

      I hope we can now see that our NEW WORLD ORDER is to be controlled by exactly the same people who have long since COMPLETELY controlled the OLD WORLD ORDER. You decide whether this is a good or a bad thing. I am getting rather frustrated having to do all of the real thinking round here.

      The powers that be don’t care about the untaxable, because they have always had the peasant class eating from their hand, and as much as possible, very much ‘ living hand to mouth.’ What the establishment want is YOUR WEALTH and hard died for FREEDOMS, but that is not all. They want to continue to steal all of your future wealth as well, they can only wholly achieve this by persuading the countries wage slaves to continue to turn up at the office for work, on a cold and rainy Monday morning.

      Thus the reason to sustain the illusion that there remains some kind of illusionary left right type debate going on. From which the establishment will select, in future without any reference to the will, or needs of the people, the exact same policies they always planned inflicting on us in the first place.

      The forces of reaction may be on the rise, but they will be blown away, using the exact same methods of cruel and dishonest mind control that have always been used in the past.

      You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

      These particular classically trained ravenous beasties only know a certain amount of tricks, our problem is that they ALL still work to day, every bit as well as they did in Roman, Greek or Egyptian times.

    The fact is No 10 is constantly on the phone to the MSM bullying them to toe the line and to wheel out another Labour minister to rubbish everything any Conservative says. It wont work the truth is as plain to see as the boil on my bum. This rotten Labour government is finished and so will be the BBC at this rate.

    They must be crazy to behave like this but then this is their last stand before they jump into the abyss.

    Brown Bum (suck it) says:

    Tony Blair (aka: lying thieving war-criminal child-raping Hunt from the pits of Hell) will prolly get the job and start putting his family on the EUSSR gravy train, like that corrupt retarded Labour shit, Kinnock.

    The corrupt Labour moron scum, Kinnock, had his ‘thick as pig shit’ screeching bitch wife, Glenys, mopping up £millions of gravy from EU taxpayers, and his retarded son, Stephen ‘Hunt’ Kinnock guzzling EU gravy. And, to complete the picture, the scum-sucking tramp, Rachel ‘bummer’ Kinnock was put on the gravy train to thieve from taxpayers without actually doing any work.

    The Kinnocks are dirty loathsome family of retarded thieving Labour party shit. Enter the Blairs.

    Tony lying thieving war-criminal child-raping Hunt from the pits of Hell Blair will put his stinking grabbing low-trash wife on the EU gravy train first -the evil vile nasty scummy scouse slag will demand maximum gravy. Then he will find a nice position for his daughter/girlfriend girlfireind/daughter, Kathryn ‘suicidal pig-faced slapper’ Blair. Then there is the retarded ‘dope’ son, Euan ‘mong’ Blair. Thre fucking idiot was given a scholarship to study some shite at Yale in the US. He’ll be right at the front of the gravy train – he’s an unemployable half-wit.

    The Blair family are rancid evil Hunts. They should be banned from Europe and exiled to the filthy evil toilet that is the USA.

    Look at the pig:

    The Cunt of Monte Cristo says:

    Guido, listen to fucking Five Live, those Labour vermin (Pienaar excluded) are running with nothing else.

    Fucking Victoria ‘smug northern bint’ Derbyshire is all over it, the dumb slut has no other topic or question.

    Tory MPs should steer well clear of that bunch of Labour activist scum

Gobby livens up the Brooks’ press conference:

“Have you had any messages of support from the Prime Minister?”



The last Quango in Paris says:

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
