Cameron comes clean on EU....

Well, The Talking Clock always thought David Cameron's Conservatives were a bit suspiciously vague about the EU.

Sure, we're promised a referendum if the Lisbon Treaty hasn't been completely ratified by all member states by the time the Conservatives do the foregone conclusion and win the next General Election.

As you probably know, all the Conservatives will say is if the Lisbon Treaty has completely gone through by then is that they "won't let matters rest there".

However, they never will spell out what they will do about it in that case.

Now we know why, straight from the horse's mouth.

In a reader's interview published by The Telegraph, Cameron has this to say about his position on the European Union project:

"I support our membership of the EU. I want us to change the EU so I don’t support an in/out referendum. I don’t think it’s right for Britain and I don’t think it’s what the country’s after."

So there you have it. Lots of soundbites about referendums, the actually likable William Hague waxing lyrical about the whole thing "lacking democratic legitimacy" ad infinitum, the great promise to do something about Lisbon and tough talk about not letting matters rest. But what does it all mean? What is it all worth?

Sorry 'Dave'. We're grateful that you came clean. But there are large numbers of the British people who do not want to be part of a New World Order, global governance, socialist undemocratic superstate where faceless, nameless unelected mysterious persons dictate our every action and thought. The British version of it - ZaNuLiebour - is bad enough.

The Talking Clock LOVES European people. The Spanish are wonderful, the Germans incredibly friendly, the Italians, the Scandinavians... lovely, all of them. We'll be best friends with them if they want to be our friends.

But the European Union is not about people. Not in Britain, not in the Netherlands, not in Ireland, Poland or anywhere. It's about the creation of power for a few crackpot elites. It's about megalomania. It's about control.

Rip the European Union up. Listen to the PEOPLE of Europe. We want to be damn good friends. Brilliant - let's have lovely holidays in each others countries, share some ideas about cuisine, all take part in some damn good football competitions and then take the proverbial out of each others rubbish songs at Eurovision.

As for the rest of it? Naff off and let us control our own destinies. The people of Huddersfield, Wolverhampton, Chatham, Rhyl, Dundee and Penzance know about what effects their local communities. Let them decide what happens there.

You can't run Grantham from Brussels. The people of Dudley are of no consequence to the mega elites who take time off their multi-million pound yachts in order to tell a few bores in Strasborg what will happen to the world next.

Take a handbagging to the European Union - vote UKIP.
