(Soon to be) Poor Estonia!

For some bizarre reason best known to their own politicians, Estonia today joined the eurozone - becoming the seventeenth 'country' to do so.

The Daily Express describes the move by noting: "ESTONIA joined the troubled eurozone today – in a move that was compared to boarding the Titanic after it hit the iceberg."

Quite.

The insanity is proclaimed by Jose Manuel Barosso who said of Estonia's eurozone accession: "It is a strong signal of the attraction and stability that the euro brings to member states of the European Union."

What planet is he on? Obviously, whatever planet he is on, it is not the same planet that is partially comprised of formerly sovereign nations known as Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain.

New warnings of the demise of the euro - and the negative impacts of it on we, the people - continue apace.

Yesterday, the Centre for Economic and Business Research warned that: "There is no modern history of falling living standards in peacetime on the scale necessary to keep the euro in its current form. Indeed the scale of the cuts necessary was only just achieved in wartime. That is why I think there is at best a one-in-five chance the euro will survive as it is."

The day before, credit ratings agency Moodys warned: "The amount of austerity needed to correct Europe’s imbalances may be as politically unsustainable as it was for Argentina in 2001."

And the day before that, we learned that: "HALF of all Germans want to ditch the euro and bring back their deutschmark, according to a poll."

Not that the political class give a damn about what the people who pay their wages think. They just take our taxes - giving us less for what they take and taking more and more for the privilege.

So, what on earth would the people of Estonia want to join a club like the eurozone for?

Reading up on their history, you'd have thought that a nation that had suffered Nazi occupation and illegal annexation by the USSR - a nation that had fought for independence, both economically and politically, for several post-war decades might value their freedom.

Do they not read the newspapers? Do they not read about the de facto loss of sovereignty and independence that comes with EU membership, let alone eurozone membership?

Wonder if the people of Ireland have a message they'd like to send to Estonia?

And it's Ireland that we turn to for our closing thought on Estonia.

On the Wikipedia page for the country - and I know Wikipedia is an unreliable authority - there's a delightful little line which reads: "Ireland is sometimes seen as a model for Estonian economic future."

Need we say more?

In other news, a warning was sent out on Thursday by the Institute for Public Policy Research.

It stated that immigration into the UK is unlikely to drop - due to huge influxes from the European Union.

Top of the list of those expected to swell our ranks are a "new wave of Irish migration with as many as 120,000 leaving the Republic," The Guardian reports.

It would make a refreshing change to have an influx of people we could actually have a conversation with and who wouldn't want to eradicate all traces of British culture and heritage, in my view. Can't see too many complaining about the Irish coming in. Indeed, many might well welcome it.

But, if we're getting 120,000 from Ireland, how many hundreds of thousands are we going to be getting from everywhere else in the European Union - mistakenly thinking that Britain is a land of milk and honey?

UKIP's Nigel Farage says: "David Cameron's rank dishonesty over mass migration has been blown apart by the latest figures from the Institute for Public Policy Research. The prospect of even greater migration from the EU due to the financial crisis leaves the Prime Minister's policies naked. It is a simple fact that while he remains committed to EU membership there is nothing that he can do to stop tens or hundreds of thousands coming here. We know that over the past few years a majority of new jobs have been taken by migrants. That will continue to be the case. In order to do anything about it we must leave the EU. He knows that, as do the people of Britain."

Well, the plan is clearly to make the United Kingdom indistinguishable from... say... Estonia.

Out goes local culture, custom, tradition, identity, standard of living, personal freedom, liberty, individualism...

...and in comes cheap corporate wage slaves under lowest common denominator 'equality' moves to drive up profit margins.

It's called extreme socialism - an unholy alliance between the far left and globalist corporations.

And, unfortunately, there's no room for places called 'Estonia' or people who describe themselves as 'English' in their plans.

All of us, the world over, are already under One World Government.

And we're all going to be incredibly miserable together until we all collectively challenge unlawful offshore corporate governments, to whom our local politicians are subservient 'yes men'.

Here in THIS country, we have a WRITTEN national constitution and unenforced - but thoroughly breached - treason laws.

Make honouring and seeking to uphold those your New Year's Resolutions.
