Half-a-Billion People Told Name of Their New Emperor President

The 500 million people of Europe have a new president, not one of them was troubled with the requirement to cast a vote.  Actually that is not quite true, 27 politicians decided unanimously who to appoint. Soviet Politburos invariably came to unanimous consensus decisions, it is a characteristic of  undemocratic systems that deals are struck and favours traded.  Baroness Ashton, the new British High Representative has never been democratically elected to any position, ever.  The perception is that she owes her rise to high office in EUGov to being married to Blair admiring, Labour leaning pollster Peter Kellner of YouGov.

With a Belgian President, plus a capital and parliament in Brussels, the EU has some of the attributes of a new Belgian empire…

          Fuck off you pathetic tedious retarded twat.
          I’m sure you think you’re making an incisive, witty, valid political argument; but you’re just showing yourself up to be a brainless unintelligent c­u­n­t, who very probably has no friends.

            Who put sand in your vagina you pitiful sniveling streak of mouse piss?

            Dave promised a referendum
            There isn’t going to be one
            On lisibon, on getting powers back, in or out of europe or in fact any kind of referendum at all despite the democratic deficit lisbon creates

            Brown is a eurodrone tosspot who sold us out to europe long ago but Dave has now done the exact same thing

            So fuck off and take your amateur trolling elsewhere you shit-eating dribble of anal pus. Your only friend is your overworked clawlike wanking hand

            Dave needs to get the extent of Labour’s treachery across to the public

            Gordon Brown is the most anti- democratic minister this country has ever had

            Just look at how the electorate had no say that Westminster is now an unimportant suburb of Brussels who will continue to vote themselves extra power over our affairs.

            The thirty-four Labour PPCs who yesterday pushed for electoral reform to save their own skins.

            Labour have waged a war against English middle class tax payers to take away any legal recourse to dissent and subjugated the media, police and judiciary for their own ends. No protests outside Parliament, no public access to the Prime Minister, petitions ignored.

            Gordon Brown is a dictator hell bent on delivering this country into a United States of Europe without ever asking permission.

            For God’s sake Dave, don’t let these bastards derail arguments against losing control of our own country because they say you are Euro sceptic.

            Stand up tall and say you are for free trade within Europe but against the United States of Europe – THERE IS A DIFFERNCE

            If you do not, the electorate will assume you are for a United States of Europe and vote UKIP and (even even worse) bee en pee.

            Dave – Grow some balls and don’t let Brown, CooperBalls, Mandelson, Harman, Straw, Johnson and Miliband² derail our grave concern about creeping loss of sovereignty by saying you are Euro sceptic

          And what a good thing that New Labour did when they were elected on the commitment to a referendum and then recinded it?

          • Vote LibDem get Labour says:

            Don’t forget the LibDems promised a referendum too and then cut a deal with Labour and reneged on their promise.

            The Conservatives were the only party to keep their promise until the Lisbon Treaty was passed into law and then of course a referendum on it is a waste of time and pretty pointless.

            The blame for Lisbon lies squarely with Brown and Clegg NOT Cameron

          • Mr Ned says:

            That does not mean that we should accept this dictatorship. Conservatives will not withdraw from it, but UKIP will.

          Yeah, curiously TT, the thought did cross my mind, as a bit of a conspiracy theorist (no, really?) that an occult meaning of ‘Cockermouth’ ie ‘cock’ and ‘mouth’ represent the male (cock/phallus) and female (mouth/womb) as represented by the obelisk and the circle of flags a la Washington Monument and Big Ben beside the River Thames – (the circle/water are both representative of the female). Water is also symbolic of the ‘Age of Aquarius’ which we’re just entering into.

          Knowing that these global-types love occult numerology/symbology, I couldn’t help myself. Of course, it’s nothing but a coincidence eh ;0) – oh, the date was 19/11. . .

        At the moment Blair has this Iraq war baggage so in two years time they think things will have quieten down. Then Blair will be appointed and they will also increase the term to 5 years. By then Britain will be just a EU province with no say in anything like now but worse.

          The only reason it’s called a ‘carbon footprint’ is that if they called it what it is, a tax on breathing, we’d all rumble it and the game would be up. I live in hope.

      As a Parish Councillor, elected, and 100% cost free to taxpayers and utterly voluntary my biggest issue is that the local authority fail to listen or take advice from us on anything.

      So why do it? Because it is my greatest pleasure to ignore our district and county councillors and expose them for the incestuous, money grabbing, underhand, deceitful, duplitious, pig troughing antics that they are up to. When they show any attempt at doing something for themselves individually or as a group they are hopeless which is why they spend ratepayers money on contracting out whatever service they can think of.

      So, I and some of my colleagues see us as a true representation of the local community. The local authority of course see us as a nightmare and do all they can to smear us as individuals at every opportunity. Unlike most of “them”, “we” are clean.

      I would rather be run by a Parish Council than a local authority thank you.

            Open your internet browser and type http://en.wikipedia.org into the address bar. Hit the enter button.

            When the wikipedia page opens, type Baroness Ashton into the search box and hit the enter button again. Read the page that comes up.

            In the first para you’ll see she’s just been appointed: High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy

            A bit further down you can read the following:

            Between 1977 and 1979 Ashton worked at the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

            Anything else you can bloody well look up yourself.

    Look on in despair at the theft of our western democracy, the new commissars see the people as a threat and they have acted accordingly, future elections will be a useless sham facade that changes nothing, is this what the supporters of the EU federal state were expecting?

    When the new commissars talked about “streamlining” the EU what they really meant was stripping the one element they fear most and that is democratic accountability, we the people can take part in show elections that change nothing, we the people have no power and no place in the new streamlined world order other than to pay up the taxes and obey the new overlords.
    The commissars longed for a system that preserves their power whatever the people might decide via elections, they have succeeded in creating the budding EUSSR dictatorship.
    1984 came a little late but its here now isnt it? Once the eurocrat dictators have syphoned off the remaining national powers to the dark centre they can build their unassailable fortress where they rule their empire with ever increasing authoritarian arrogance.

      No mention is made by the Six of ‘the People’ of the signatory states. The original 1957 Treaty, setting up the ‘European Economic Community’ is signed by three Kings and three Presidents, united in their decision to create the foundations for a union [sic] that is to be ever-more strict/close/tight/perfect (depending on how you choose to translate the French word “étroite“.

      From the start, it is a ‘top-down’ project of the ruling elites: imposed de haut en bas.

    So, we now have an un-elected President and a Foreign minister, appointed under rules set down in a Treaty no-one was allowed a referendum on. Are we really surprised the EU is undemocratic? Given it’s track record of ignoring vote results it doesn’t like, and not bothering to hold them in places where the answer is likely to be no, are we really surprised?

    We should change our relationship with our European neighbours to a “trade-only” relationship. Look at Norway. For every €1 Norway spends to gain access to the EU market, it makes €140 back. And it doesn’t have to accept CAP, Common Fisheries, unlimited EU immigration or European judges lecturing them on the “human rights” of its rapists and murderers. I think the Norwegians are onto something here.

    Trade and friendship with the EU yes. Political union in a superstate, No!

    Dave needs to get the extent of Labour’s treachery across to the public

    Gondon Brown is the most anti- democratic minister this country has ever had

    Just look at how the electorate had no say that Westminster is now an unimportant suburb of Brussels who will continue to vote themselves extra power over our affairs.

    The thirty-four Labour PPCs who yesterday pushed for electoral reform to save their own skins.

    Labour have waged a war against English middle class tax payers to take away any legal recourse to dissent and subjugated the media, police and judiciary for their own ends. No protests outside Parliament, no public access to the Prime Minister, petitions ignored.

    Gordon Brown is a dictator hell bent on delivering this country into a United States of Europe without ever asking permission.

    For God’s sake Dave, don’t let these bastards derail arguements against losing control of our own country because they say you are Euro sceptic.

    Stand up tall and say you are for free trade within Europe but against the United States of Europe – THERE IS A DIFFERNCE

    If you do not, the electorate will assume you are for a United States of Europe and vote UKIP and (even even worse) bee en pee.

    Dave – Grow some balls and don’t let Brown, CooperBalls, Mandelson, Harman, Straw, Johnson and Miliband² derail our grave concern about creeping loss of sovereignty by saying you are Euro sceptic

    Paul Belien over at Brussels Journal has an inside track on Herman Van Rompuy.

    Despite his comic-book name and his benign, avuncular appearance, this is a shrewd political operator. He was once, by all accounts, a human being, but has gone over to the Dark Side. Paul equates him to Saruman in the Lord of the Rings.

    The important point to take on board is that this is the Commission’s man on the Council. He is a “plant”, one of them – a man who will work assiduously for the break-up of nation states.

    Herman is a Machiavellian operator, a man who has no time for nationhood or democracy, a man who once had the locks on the doors of the Belgian Parliament changed to stop a vote on a key issue. He is not undemocratic – he, like the EU, is anti-democratic.

    The Parallax Brief has long dismissed the hard line Eurosceptics who compare the EU to Soviet Russia, or any other totalitarian state they conjure, as shrill extremists. But, really, it seems that that the EU is doing its best to make their point for them.

    This cosy little backroom deal is pungent with the small of Platonic “benevolent” tyranny.

    Another flippant non-sensical post about Europe. Very much disappointing considering the quality of most of the other posts.
    I’m all for reforming europe and some of its institutions and modus operandi, but that cannot be done by adopting a stand-offish, “we’re the british empire and we can do it alone”, Eurosceptic way most of the Tories are standing for. Ken Clarke, one of the few top tories with biz experience (“PR adviser” or “consultant” do not count – they are not biz position of substance – they are about massaging comms and writing reports) is pro-europe and that’s because he “gets” it. The truth is the UK would be a much poorer, peripheral country if it hadn’t been part of Europe.

    A week or two ago Janet Daley wrote a piece that gave me one of those jaw-dropping moments when the light of understanding suddenly comes on.

    Like everyone else, I’ve been perplexed that the EU has becoms increasingly undemocratic, but thought it was down to cock-ups by bumbling nest-featherers.

    Not so, says Daley. She contends that it is INTENTIONALLY undemocratic. This drive has come from Germany, France and Italy, who have seen where democracy can get you – fascist dictatorship. Far better, they think, to keep the public’s grubby hands off the elite’s plans and keep the Lefty show on the road as long as possible via bread and circuses.

    The message is clear. Only by using what small power we, the people, have, via electing EU-smashers, will we ever affect the smooth working of an increasingly oppressive machine.
