The Talking Clock: Since when was anointing a President over 500 million people an "informal" occasion?

Since when was anointing a President over 500 million people an "informal" occasion?

Open Europe and William Hague are demanding explanations from Gormless over the appointment of Cathy 'Baroness' Ashton, the EU's new Queen of Quangos.

Gormless is accused of being outsmarted by France's Nicolas Sarkozy and, that by having the unelected ever Ashton in her new post, the way is clear for France and Germany to take the ultra undemocratic appointments with influence over financial regulation in the Evil Empire - to the potential detriment of the City of London and ergo the entire British economy.

However, Open Europe and the Conservatives are so far being made to whistle for their answers to questions about the process by which the Superior Queen of Quangos got her job.

Gormless has merely issued a written statement and is not answering for himself at the despatch box in the House of Commons.

The explanation from Downing Street?

Apparently, it is usual practise to make written statements about informal gatherings of EU leaders.

Informal? What on earth is that meant to mean?

A meeting - a rather posh dinner paid for by the taxpayer - in which the leaders of European nations (some elected and, in Gordon Brown's case, some not) get together and make Emperor von Rumpy-Pumpy President over 500 million people. Where a woman who has never been elected to anything by anyone ever is appointed the Foreign Minister for an entire continent, becoming the Superior Queen of Quangos in the process.

And this is all informal?

Democracy? Representation of the people? It all stinks to hell.

And if you needed more reasons for Britain's complete withdrawal from the European Empire project, you now see it more and more, day by day.

We'll have our country back, please. And we'll vote for anyone and everyone resolved to get us our country back.

Forever... Diana

...genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.

"And when I look at people in public life... I'm not a political animal but I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love - for a minute, for an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"I think the British people need someone in public life to give affection, to make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels. I see it as a possibly unique role, and yes, I've had difficulties, as everybody has witnessed over the years, but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a truly British girl who transcended nationality."
- Earl Spencer

"..she was our guardian, friend and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated. She will always be remembered for her amazing public works. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world."
- Prince Harry

The People's Sovereignty

"...our membership of the European Union has removed our democracy; it has taken away the right of the British people to elect and dismiss those who make their laws. Our system of representative parliamentary democracy, for which millions have died over hundreds of years, has been frittered away. It no longer serves the people. That is why the time has come to give power back to the people. They deserve it anyway; it is their power and it belongs to them. Before long their anger will overflow if they do not get it back."

- Former UKIP leader Lord Pearson in the House of Lords, 5th February 2009

British resistance and liberty

"We British have in a very special way contributed to Europe. Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power. We have fought and we have died for her freedom. Only miles from here, in Belgium, lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.

Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice. It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last War that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation."

- Margaret Thatcher, Bruges, 1992
