How's that European unity going, Rumpy Pumpy? - Greek newspaper portrays Merkel as Nazi on front page

Go on... call English and British opponents of the (unlawful here) European Union names. Feel free. Call us racist, xenophobic, Little Englanders who have crawled out from under a rock. Go ahead. Water off a duck's back, these days.

Only, whilst those of us who care about democracy and freedom have quite rightly poured venom on the anti-democratic EU and all the totalitarian control it exerts, there are not many of us in England who have equated the EU flag with Nazi Germany. Some of us may have thought it, many of us have made wartime references... but few in England have managed what a Greek newspaper has managed.

Many years ago now, The Sun may have famously headlined with 'Up Yours, Delors', but even they pale into insignificance compared to Greek newspaper Dimokratia.

Here was their front page of yesterday, with a hat-tip to Ian Fraser and Fabrizio Goria:

Want a closer look at what this Greek newspaper thinks? Here we go:

Want it up really large? Here we go.

Remember, this is nothing to do with British opinion or English opinion.

No-one on the political 'right' in this country was so opposed to the EU (which we are) that we forced a Greek newspaper to run with that image on their front page.

That image is entirely a Greek newspaper's seemingly express opinion, encapsulated in an image.

Which all just leads us to one thing... how's that European 'unity' project going, Herman von Rumpy Pumpy?

Gay rights campaigners go 'right', the 'right' goes 'left' hilarity...

Quite hilariously from a political left-right perspective, an American court has thrown out a Californian ban on gay marriage ruling that the ban is unconstitutional.

As a pro-constitution blogger and as a libertarian, we applaud the court for their verdict.

However, we are quite aware that there are more than a few - on both ends of the political spectrum - but especially on "the right" who will be aghast at this.

And we find this situation hilarious.

Hilarious, because lesbian and gay rights campaigners - who many associate with "the left" - will now potentially start embracing the constitution... thought of as the bible of "the right" (i.e. small 'c' conservatives).

Meanwhile, knowing some "right wing" views as we do, many on "the right" will potentially be so upset at this verdict that they could - could - start deciding to slag off the constitution.

We have no such problems.

Our view of the constitution - both in England and in the U.S. (who borrowed heavily from our own constitution) - is that it was designed to protect people going about their lives, unfettered from controlling dictators who wanted to take away their freedoms.

Long may the constitution reign!

Quote of the Day: 7th February 2012

We recently posted a provocative opinion piece saying that politicians should shut (the f***) up if they were not prepared to do something about it.

So we were heartened that one of our closest and dearest friends in the blogosphere - Witterings from Witney - seems to have come to a similar conclusion.

For this, we hand WfW our 'Quote of the Day' honour. WfW writes:

"That the House of Commons is now no more than a talking shop is illustrated by May's statement; by Dominic Raab's complaint that the decision undermines public protection; and by Cash's plea that the Human Rights Act needs to be amended. Instead of whining that Qatada can't be deported; instead of complaining that the decision undermines public protection; instead of pleading that the Human Rights Act needs amending, perhaps these three politicians might attempt to do something about it.

It is said that actions speak louder than words - and by heavens have we not had bucket loads of words from our politicians. Having had a surfeit of the latter, hows about a tad of the former? If they have no intention of providing the former, perhaps they should 'zip it' in respect of the latter?"

More here.

May she defend our laws? Only with our help.

Daniel Hannan MEP marked this sixtieth anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II of the House of Windsor with a blog post entitled: "May she defend our laws and ever give us cause…"

Unfortunately, a promising sounding blogpost contained not one single reference to any of the laws that our Sovereign contracted with her subjects to defend.

As it is a special anniversary, we are going to be very kind to Her Majesty.

Accordingly, we shall conclude that the reason she signed the Lisbon Treaty which contains a whole galaxy of clauses which contradict her Coronation Oath is due to our Sovereign Lady being held captive, against her will, by treacherous men.

You may think that quite a statement.

However, let us look at a few points of order.

Some - including one of our neighbouring bloggers who we think of most fondly, Captain Ranty - assert that our Queen actually abdicated in 1972. For those opposed to the European Union, you may well recognise the significance of that year.

We also know that, according to the contractual clauses in our constitutional document known as the Magna Carta, a 'Baron's Committee' formed in response to the unlawful signing of the Lisbon Treaty. This is no wacky story. The mainstream media carried reports which demonstrate that this is, surprisingly maybe, factually accurate.

So, remaining affectionate to our Queen on this sixtieth anniversary, consider this...

...should Her Majesty attempt, on her own, to bring her government back into line with the laws of England and our constitution you can be sure that - although it is a treasonable offence - there will be a clamour from politicians to end the Monarchy, turning England into a subservient EU satellite state.

Yes - even more than we are already.

So, we all know the theme of our national anthem and many of us (including even some thick as two short planks football players) know the lyrics.

So what are the laws referred to in God Save The Queen which people sing prayer that she should defend..?

To understand this, one must look to her Coronation Oath and at our written constitutional documents.

Those who do so will surely conclude that the lyric refers to those laws which Her Majesty took an oath on coronation to defend as her contract with the people.

Those laws were many but they were the laws and customs of all lands over which the Queen was being crowned sovereign.

In England's case, this was our common law and constitution.

We know that this has been subverted by treacherous politicians, especially since 1972.

As noted, if Her Majesty attempted to correct this, she may put the very status of the Monarchy in jeopardy. Effectively therefore, it could be argued that she is being held prisoner by corrupt politicians.

How then may she defend our laws?

Perhaps with our help.

The more I read, the more I learn, the more certain I am that aspects of what "freemen on the land" and the British Constitution Group say and do is not only our protection from tyranny, but also the most patriotic service of all for - it is through lawful rebellion under the Magna Carta - that the Queen's people can help free her from the political prison in which she finds herself.

God save the Queen. There is no common law or constitution without the Monarch. Long may she reign. Long may she defend our laws.

And may all "freemen on the land", "lawful rebels" and the British Constitution Group be admired for the ultimate patriots and - in a roundabout way which they perhaps do not see themselves - most loyal Royal subjects and devoted servants that they are.

For they are really aiding Her Majesty who can only now defend our laws with our help.

Shock as Monckton and Gore debate the climate...

On the day that Windy Miller stepped down as Chief Government Gaia Worshipper, it seems Gore has sensationally agreed to debate Monckton on the climate.

Well, that's what this satirical clip says it is... and how we laughed:

See ya'... wouldn't want to be ya'.

So long, adios, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu.

No matter what language you say it in, it sounds good, doesn't it?

Yes - it's no good tilting at windmills. You all know who and what we're referring to.

However, we're going to bite our tongue.

Not because we don't have plenty we would like to say. On the contrary.

No, we would like to see the law make an example in this case and chuck the entire flipping lot at the focus of this post.

For that reason, therefore, we are henceforth going to say little that could be construed as prejudicing a criminal prosecution.

Quote of the Day: Biased BBC exposed edition

"People will quite rightly continue to question what influence the EU exerts over the BBC, particularly in the light of EU loans and grants, and the BBC's often one-sided coverage of matters relating to Europe."

- Karl McCartney MP, cited in the Daily Telegraph (HT: Eurosceptic1)

Stunning report.... though only confirming what we all knew (or at least suspected already). So shut the bloody corporation down, remove it's charter...

Whatever next? Will Common Purpose be the Parliamentary question no longer scared to speak it's name..?

A musical interlude...

Just so you know where our head's at, a couple of music videos which we're hoping people identify the thematic of and relate to. More regular blogging soon:

You know you're depressed when Aqua singing about the 80's makes you burst into tears.

I'm not a racist, xenophobic Little Englander. I just want life back to how I remember it, before they wrecked it irretrievably.

And now?

Quote of the Day: 1st February 2012

"The government led by Enda Kenny of Fine Gael is doing everything it can to stop a referendum, because the answer the voters would most probably give is a No (the Irish are fed up with the EU/ECB/IMF team known as 'the Germans' occupying their finance department)."

- Mary Ellen Synon for the Mail Online

Just shut up - all of you. We're sick of hearing it.

I write this blogpost at 01.09 UK time.

By midday, I promise you that somewhere, in one of the newspapers, there'll be a soundbite from a Carswell or a Hannan, a Redwood or a Helmer and maybe even a Farage.

Yadda, yadda, yadda... EU this, EU that... yadda, yadda, yack, yack, yack.

Aren't you just sick to the back teeth of hearing it now?

I know I am.

For all the talk, for all the bluster, we're all still here - in police state Britain under EU jackboots.

What the bugger do the politicians care? They're all GETTING PAID.

That's why all you ever hear from them is TALK and NOTHING EVER CHANGES.

Where's the million man, anti-EU march, huh?

Come on Carswell, where is it?

And UKIP - come on... where are the members on the streets?

Is there a RedwoodedHelmerianCarswelscopic quote we can throw into the mix, to keep us dangling with false hope in perpetuity?

Of course there is. There ALWAYS is. ALWAYS a quote... and never any change or action.

Well, I'm sick of being in the EU, I'm sick to the back teeth of listening to these people who talk the talk but come on... where's the action?

There is none.

Helmer, Carswell, Hannan and Redwood all still in the Tories, are they? Check.

Farage still giving his well applauded speeches is he? Check.

Wonderful. Marvellous. Vunderbar (as we might soon have to start saying in German).

Yet somehow, here we still are.

I'm getting sick of listening now because that's all it is from them all. Words. More words. And more words.

The same words as yesterday and the same words as the day before, and the day before that.

Just shut up, all of you.

We've signed all your petitions. We've promoted your parties. We've gone out and voted for you.

But nothing has changed since 1972, it has only got worse.

Police state everywhere, ruled by the Germans through the EU.

Do something about it, or just go away. All of you.

Addendum:
Our friend The Boiling Frog makes an interesting observation today on 'The Strange Death Of Democratic England'. Rhetorical question, but are the two articles - ours and his - related posts?

While Cameron bullshits, Merkel reveals the great deception

Let us start this open accusation of "bullshit" by listening to the Bullshitter-In-Chief, our Prime Minister David Cameron:

Sterling stuff. Standing up for the national interest! Veto! Action if not in the British interest! Rule bloody Britannia!

Except...

Except Germany's Angela Merkel soundly gives the gameplan away.

Late this evening, James Chapman - Political Editor of the Daily Mail - tweeted: "Merkel insists fiscal union treaty will be incorporated into EU law within 5 years. Awkward."

And he's quite correct.

The BBC has Merkel's speech, handily spoken through a translator, with Merkel saying that the new fiscal treaty is formed: "...with the firm intention that, at the very latest after five years, this will be translated into a formal EU treaty and I'm confident we'll be able to do that."

That sounds familiar, Frau Merkel.

Why... it is familiar. Rewind into ancient history. Well, not quite ancient. The 10th day of January 2012, to be precise. Remember this, from The Sun..?

NICK Clegg was accused of treachery last night after declaring Britain MUST back the treaty David Cameron vetoed last month.

The Deputy PM triggered an explosive new coalition rift by calling for the deal — agreed by the other 26 EU countries — to be "folded into" existing European treaties.

But he admitted this can only happen if the PM performs a complete U-turn and approves the treaty.

So, here's what the gameplan is.

Should David Cameron sign up to any new treaty, he will face an inescapable clamour for a referendum at home which - given British public opinion - would doubtless see us leave the European Union.

Instead, just as Nick Clegg suggested, they are going to sign this new fiscal compact treaty now, ratify it, then slowly fold it into existing EU treaties which we are already signed up to.

They will probably do this the same way as the House of Commons nods through a multitude of other EU legislation, using statutory instruments and other machinations that see new statutes enacted without so much as a debate.

And please... don't insult my intelligence by suggesting David Cameron is clueless about the fact this can happen. Come on! If I can work this out and he can't, then he has no right being Prime Minister, frankly.

As ever, though, to placate the Conservative Party membership and voters, a small delegation of "eurosceptic" Conservative backbenchers are on hand to shake a padded fist in the pages of the newspapers and thus create the impression that they "won't let matters rest there".

We therefore get the Daily Telegraph headline: "Cameron accused of 'appeasing' Nick Clegg over EU veto as Conservative MPs start to plot".

Readers, I'm not going to deliberately insult you. I'm not going to intentionally insult your intelligence.

That said, if you still haven't woken up to the political theatre, smokescreens and skulduggery yet - nor how the game is played - then the person insulting your own intelligence is you.

Wake up, before it's too late.

Dear Greece (and Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy)... perhaps you might read the bloody document before signing it this time?

The Telegraph has put online a leaked draft version of a new EU fiscal treaty.

Over the weekend, Greece has made angry sounds about the German threat of invading Athens with it's number crunchers.

A threat to national sovereignty and identity, the Greeks have complained.

And we agree with them.

However... it is not the normal thing for us to defend the EU. Yet that is exactly what we're going to do.

The very second statement in the draft treaty texts reads:

"DESIRING to promote conditions for stronger economic growth in the European Union and, to that end, to develop ever-closer coordination of economic policies within the euro area"

If that isn't obvious enough, let us bolden the applicable bit:

"DESIRING to promote conditions for stronger economic growth in the European Union and, to that end, to develop ever-closer coordination of economic policies within the euro area"

Got that? They are not hiding this. It is all very clear. It's one of the OPENING STATEMENTS on the treaty that YOUR national politicians are asked to sign up to.

It is FAR CLEARER than the terms and conditions of a Lloyds TSB (crooks) credit card agreement.

Second clause. Up in big font.

"...ever-closer coordination of economic policies within the euro area"

Got that? They have NOT finished moving things ever closer yet.

They will NEVER stop moving towards ever closer union until they have ONE treasury, ONE foreign office, ONE home office, one flipping everything... just as was always planned.

So please... don't come moaning to me that the EU is doing things that you didn't expect them to be doing.

They've printed it as the SECOND statement to a new treaty in great big huge font. What do you want them to do more?

It is YOUR national traitors who sign up to the bloody things.
