Thanks to its lies and deceit, 450million citizens risk poverty and perhaps serfdom at the hands of a ruthless foreign rival.
Yet we still haven't heard a whimper of apology from those, including quisling British politicians, who brought all this on our heads."
- Trevor Kavanagh in The Sun in one of the hardest hitting anti-EU pieces read in the newspaper for at least a decade.

UKIP Goes To The Museum Of Westminster: Exclusive Mini-Documentary
A few quick thank you's...
We'd like to thank Witterings from Witney, The Boiling Frog and Mark Wadsworth for their friendship and top notch company on the day.
There were a number of other UKIP names we met, but we'll be the soul of discretion on whom exactly.
That said, there were two top ranking UKIP peeps that we ended the day with who also get a special 'thank you' in our thoughts. Our round next time... ;)
Enjoy and share...

European Empire doesn't take 'no' for an answer, so why should we?
In the best traditions of the European Empire which does not take "no" for an answer, the British public have decided that they are going to make Parliament vote again until we get the desired outcome.
So, already up and running - sign the petition to force Parliament to debate a referendum on the European Empire.
Let's keep on doing it until we get the outcome that we wanted all along.
What's good enough for the European Empire is good enough for us!
Update
Just noticed that Old Holborn has posted almost exactly the same thing - though beat us to it by three hours. Let's get this on all the blogs and keep on doing it until we get... democracy?

Ayes 111 Noes 483
Very tired TTC...
The morning after update
Hey lovely peeps. We'll be a little quieter than you might have expected for a large part of today. Don't worry - we'll have plenty to say on last night's events.
We need to update our 'MP Watch' page to add in last night's patriots and traitors. Mammoth task.
Before all that, however, we're working on editing video footage taken at the pre-referendum vote rally and lobby of Parliament; filmed just for you.
Just pure footage - no cheesy midi music to have to tolerate - promise!
Enjoy the day and we'll be with you some time this evening, probably.
England! To Parliament! Midday!
With these immortal words, Oliver Cromwell dismissed the Rump Parliament which, the current Parliament website informs us: "...was primarily concerned with legislation ensuring its own survival."
Three hundred and fifty eight years later, does this not all sound vaguely familiar?
Our common law and constitution have been subverted by a succession of inadequate, inexperienced, incapable, self-serving corrupt lightweight careerist politicians who have no respect for their place of work - our Parliament - and who hold the public in utter contempt.
In many ways, it matters not what happens in the House of Commons today. It is a foregone conclusion that the current nest of vipers masquerading as our legitimate representatives will betray the people of this country and snub the referendum that has long since been promised.
A referendum that is not required, as our membership of the European Empire is null and void under England's constitution.
This, we suspect, is why England is unique in the United Kingdom in not having it's own Parliament.
What matters today is the size of support.
English patriots from all over the country are expected at College Green, opposite Parliament, at midday today where they will join fruitless lobby lines in a last minute bid to persuade their MP to do the job they were elected to do - represent the wishes of the electorate who employ them.
MPs will disappoint.
Yet this is only the start of the battle.
In response to the Lisbon Treaty, a treacherously signed document, a Baron's Committee triggered the security clause of Magna Carta.
The statutes that are passed in the Houses of Parliament and those awful, careerist, self serving politicians are irrelevant.
Today is simply the first day of many in which the politicians will be told by the people just exactly who is the boss.
This is no longer simply about the European Union. It is about the very essence of English democracy itself.
We'll have more to say on Magna Carta and the constitution of England over the coming days and weeks.
For now, I - like my fellow passionately patriotic Englishmen and women - must do my duty.
I must get myself to the second Rump Parliament and say to them: "You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately ...in the name of God, go!"

Quote of the Day: 'Further mainstream accusations of treason' edition
...his performance on the EU issue has been dishonest and treacherous from the start."
- Peter Hitchens for the Daily Mail, mincing no words in his assessment of David Cameron.
For how much longer can the Conservative Party sustain these incredibly (and deservedly) hostile attacks on their leader, from people who would normally be natural Conservative supporters, before they decide to get rid of a man who is now clearly beyond an electoral liability?
How to report the crime of treason
While what you are watching took place last year, the content is still valid and the legitimate and valid claims contained in it need to be reported to the police by thousands and millions of people.
To that end, we hope all fellow bloggers will embed the clip, even if they had already done so previously.

Sunday Paper Review: 23rd October 2011
The Independent on Sunday takes an interesting angle on the EU story, suggesting that David Cameron is "relishing" the chance to "fight" and silence his own backbenchers.
One senior Conservative MP - unnamed - tells the newspaper: "People are very, very angry about the way this has all been handled. It has alienated a big chunk of the party."
Perhaps that was the intention all along? We had pondered whether he wasn't the Conservative Party's very own fifth columnist...
...and then we remembered that it was the Conservative Party which gave us Edward Heath, the European Union and the Maastricht Treaty. This is just europlastic chickens coming home to roost.
The Mail on Sunday gives extraordinary detail of the alleged bullying, intimdation and threats being carried out by Chief Whip Patrick McLoughlin towards Conservative Party backbenchers.
The newspaper claims McLoughlin was heard screaming at one MP: "This is not the f****** Oxford Union. This is not some f****** sixth-form debating society. This is the bloody House of Commons."
Quite. The House of Commons. A prestigious place of solemn scrutiny of law, where the nation's greatest minds and thinkers gather to enact legislation in accordance with the will of the people.
God help us...
The Sunday Telegraph headlines with detail of a "New euro 'empire' plot by Brussels". The report says that the Bilderberg-attending, unelected dictator Herman von Rumpy-Pumpy is pushing forward a proposal for a single 'Treasury' for all of the seventeen eurozone nations.
Such a move would, to all intents and purposes, be the beginnings of a new country called Europe - an advantageous proposal for those who planned that outcome all along. Mustn't let an engineered crisis go to waste, huh?
One group of people looking to enjoy all the thrills of the economic collapse of the eurozone are the banksters. No surprises there.
Accustomed as we are to reports of Greece or Portugal or Ireland being bailed out when it is the banks who get the money really, the Sunday Express reports that the banksters are now going for the more honest route and may need taxpayer hand outs of between £87 billion and £435 billion.
Never fear. A hundred or so UK Uncut activists who have co-opted the UK 'Occupy' protests are occupying a London churchyard and banning each other from smoking, by all accounts. Wooo!
Elsewhere, Alex Salmond is giving us a darn good laugh in The Observer.
The SNP leaders aspirations for Scotland are absolutely fair and reasonable - that Scottish people should be in charge of their own affairs and destiny.
However, his claim to Scotland needing freedom from London is a bit rich, considering the never ending reign of Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and the rest of Labour's Scottish brigade which imposed legislation on England while giving some autonomy to the people north of the border.
It is still the case that Scottish MPs vote on legislation which only effects England, but English MPs do not have the same powers in the opposite direction. That's unfair on the Scottish is it, Alex?
It's also laughable that Salmond would doubtless give 'the sovereign people of Scotland' as much independence as the dictators in Brussels would allow. None. Ask Ireland, which fought for independence for forever and as soon as they got it, sacrificed themselves on the Satanic altar of the European Union.
The Sunday Mirror fights it's own campaign for a 'Fair Price For Power', with a headline piece which argues that: "Choice between heating and eating is a national disgrace".
Which would all be fair enough. No-one would argue with that. Yet they manage to get through the entire article without upsetting their friends at The Guardian, the BBC, Al Gore, or the ManBearPig advocates who've got very rich and powerful in the name of 'man made global warming'.
Unless the Sunday Mirror are willing to tackle that one, we can't see their campaign getting very far - much as we support the idea and the endeavour that they're fighting.

Quote of the Day: 21st October 2011
- Nikki Sinclaire MEP quoted by The Independent
Houses of Baaa-liar-ment: These duplicitous, lying, cheating lobby fodder scum are not our Government, not our representatives
Like spineless little sheep, the majority of cretinous party vermin will obey and strike the referendum possibility down. By a large majority.
Despite all three parties having been elected on a manifesto to offer a referendum on the EU, those pledges to the public are little more than campaign rhetoric, to be denied and dismissed and ridiculed once electioneering is over.
That the public were deliberately lied to about the nature of the 'Common Market', deliberately lied to about the nature of 'ever closer union' is one thing.
That they absolutely know that they have no democratic mandate or popular will of the people for continuing the path of progress towards a new country called Europe is quite another.
Whatever one's opinion on the European Union, prejudices aside, it is quite clear that the bastards who sit on those green benches in the House of Commons are guilty of routinely and systematically lying to and deliberately misleading their constituents.
They do not keep their promises, they do not represent our views.
Too many of them serve their party machines, cowardly little spineless lapdogs who think that, by betraying the public, they might get a ministerial or shadow cabinet promotion and an opportunity to feather their own personal nests.
Which is all that can be expected from the same ilk of bastard who committed fraud on a grand scale, fiddling their expenses and robbing the taxpayer of unfathomable quantities of cash - all on the basis of fraud that would have seen the taxpayer that they are meant to represent sent to prison.
The filthy vermin who, once elected, think that they are the masters. Nasty little odious traitors who forget that they are public servants and act as though they're our masters - endlessly dreaming up more and more methods of controlling and regulating our lives.
They bow and scrape to the big corporates, they bow and scrape to the lobbyists, they bow and scrape to the fake charities and bow and scrape to anyone who might give them an illegal backhander or who might, after Parliament, offer them a nice, lucrative boardroom job in which they will be paid obscene amounts of money to do bugger all.
The one group of people that they do not bow and scrape to is us, their employer. We are the employer. We are the master. It us us they should obey and respect.
Yet they do not.
It is a foregone conclusion that, on Monday next week, the three party machines will win their way and deny us our will on the European question.
Yes, they will win the battle.
However, the bigger battle is for hearts and minds.
Across the political and demographic spectrum, the people of this country have enough evidence of the true nature of the Houses of Parliament.
They are not our Government. They are not our representatives.
They have resolved not to obey the instructions of we, the people.
Our only recourse, soon, must be to cease to recognise them as any kind of Government at all.
So go ahead - vote against a referendum. Yet in doing so, know that you're voting yourselves as illegitimate occupiers of our Parliamentary building.
You are not our Government. You are not our representatives. You and your version of democracy is an illegitimate fraud... and we the people all know it.

High Noon for Cameron as Patriots Plan Protest at Parliament, Monday midday
The move comes with a hastily rescheduled mass lobby of Parliament after terrified busted flush David Cameron hastily moved forward the referendum vote on the EU that will take place in the House of Commons.
UKIP's Nigel Farage has said that the date shift "smacks of blind panic in Downing Street" amidst growing signs of backbench discontent at the threat of a three-line whip.
Mark Pritchard MP, Secretary of the 1922 Committee, this morning made the unprecedentedly bold move for the powerful Conservative backbench group when he told BBC Radio Four that he will defy any three line whip.
Such an important figure being prepared to defy his own party chiefs is a major development and shows that there are a large number of Conservative MPs who are now prepared to show David Cameron and William Hague that they will not be disciplined over a matter of important principle.
Pritchard told the BBC: "This is fundamentally about freedom, it's about democracy, and it's about the legitimacy of the European project."
Retiring Conservative MEP Roger Helmer warned via Twitter this morning: "Memo to Cameron. Whip against an EU referendum and you'll lose half your activists. Including me."
The Daily Mail is reporting that: "...as many as five ministerial aides could quit the Government if a three-line whip is imposed."
There are growing signs that the general public are no longer prepared to allow politicians to defy the will of the people, with growing open and direct accusations towards MPs of all political parties of treason and mockery of the current form of supposed British 'democracy' escalating over social media.
With indications that Ed Miliband - whose treacherous brother signed the Lisbon Treaty with Gordon Brown - indicating that a three line whip might be used against the Labour benches, the Chairman of the Conservative 1922 Committee, Graham Brady, warns in The Telegraph: "MPs of all parties should be free to vote in accordance with our beliefs and in the interests of our constituents."
With a paradigm shift in public perceptions, politicians are now being widely reminded by voters and taxpayers that we are the masters, they are the public's servants.
David Cameron himself must surely look a liability to the Conservative Party and speculation about how much longer he can remain the leader of the party will surely now grow. He has now fatally exposed himself as a pro-EU liar to Conservative Party activists, handing UKIP a massive early Christmas present.
Cameron - once billed by his supporters as "the most eurosceptic Prime Minister in a generation" - still hopes that the deception of his patriotism can be carried by a vague promise to renegotiate treaties and achieve a unilateral repatriation of powers. His equally exposed and tarnished Foreign Secretary William Hague's credentials as a supposed "eurosceptic" also now lie in tatters.
While Hague and Cameron decided that we should bomb Libya into the Dark Ages in the name of democracy and the will of the people, apparently, there is surprisingly little bowing to public opinion at home.
Their promise to renegotiate and repatriate is also a busted flush with Vince Cable now coming out and confirming what the patriotic public already knew - that such a prospect in "not realistic".
James Delingpole has branded Cameron as : "...now officially even worse than Ted Heath" - Edward Heath, of course, now being widely and hostily described by the patriotic public as the biggest traitor in British history.
Update at 10:15
Patrick O'Flynn of the Daily Express has just confirmed on Twitter: "EXCL: Lobby of Parly is on for Monday! Permission obtained by People's Pledge. Starts 2.30pm by St Stephen's entrance. Lobby yr MP direct."

Lisbon retreat-y? Portugese military vow to serve the people, not "private institutions"
A couple of years ago, we half joked that our brave British troops ought to save us from the lunatics in Westminster, Whitehall... and liberate us from Brussels.
Joking aside, in recent months, we've also noted that the Spanish Civil War was fought under what we would suggest was less societal upheaval than the current round of austerity measures caused by the banksters and the European Empire.
Serious mainstream media commentators have warned that Greece could face the prospect of civil war.
Now it seems the military are stirring. In Portugal.
The in5d.com website carries this report, based on a report from Portugal's EconĂłmico.
Here's the breakdown. Don't take the use of the 'Occupy' name too seriously in this analysis. The original report does not mention 'Occupy' at all. However:
We've checked the news source. We've translated it on Google. And this is genuinely what is being reported. We've not tidied the translation. This is, 'as is', from the original. It's a bit 'pigeon English', but we think you'll get the gist:
Crisis
Military Government that are to warn the population against austerity
Rita Paz Photo of Paula Nunes
14/10/11 19:25
Military admit harden manifestations of discontent and has scored a national meeting to October 22.
The National Association of Sergeants (ANS) today reacted to the new austerity measures announced yesterday by the Government and that will be part of the State Budget for 2012.
The economy, President of the NSA says that "long ago" that the military is "to prepare a series of initiatives." And "if there was any doubt in the minds of gullible, claims Passos Coelho lay down any doubt."
Antonio Coelho Lima recalled that "months ago, in opposition, Passos Coelho said Socrates, prime minister at the time, to cut subsidies was nonsense," adding: "We have to have memory, we can not remain dormant in well spoken conversations. "
So in the next 22 days, officers, sergeants and soldiers will hold a national meeting. "And this is not a meeting that ends in itself, as can be found other ways, whether to demonstrate whether they are unwell to reiterate the availability to those in power to find solutions to all parties," Antonio Lima Coelho notes.
And that, according to the official, the new austerity measures announced yesterday by Passos Coelho, "undermine the constitutional rights of sovereignty and even" the country, where "the cutting of subsidies is an aggravation of a situation that was already very difficult ".
"Revolutions do not announce"
Antonio Lima Coelho admits that "for ordinary people is very difficult to fail to meet their commitments, but to a soldier who is obliged to comply with the laws of the Republic is much more serious."
The military thus ensure that "serve the Portuguese people and not private institutions," and warns, "Let no one dare to think that the armed forces can be used in the repression of social upheaval that these measures may cause."
Asked about a possible hardening of the protests by the military, the Association adds that "revolutions do not announce themselves when they come, they come because they have arrived, but I hope the good of the rule of law ever such a scenario will be put "he concludes.
Recall that last month Passos Coelho was keen to stress in the speech he chose for the closing session of the Party of the People in Campo Maior, that "in Portugal, there are right to protest, no right to strike. These are rights that are enshrined in the Constitution and who have earned widespread consensus in Portugal. "
However, at the time warned the prime minister, "those who think they can shake things up in order to turn the period we are living in a war with the government," when there is "a war against the delay, the debt and waste, "they" know what we know to talk, but we also know to decide."

On November 5th, we'll be remember, remember-ing how MPs vote on October 27th
"THIS MOTION CALLS UPON THE GOVERNMENT TO INTRODUCE A BILL IN NEXT SESSION OF PARLIAMENT TO PROVIDE FOR THE HOLDING OF A REFERENDUM ON WHETHER THE UK SHOULD REMAIN A MEMBER OF THE EU ON THE CURRENT TERMS, LEAVE THE EU, OR RENEGOTIATE THE TERMS OF ITS MEMBERSHIP IN ORDER TO CREATE A NEW RELATIONSHIP BASED ON TRADE AND COOPERATION."
The People's Pledge team have been hot on the news over at Twitter and a campaign to persuade MPs to bow to the democratic will of the people will surely now go into intensive overdrive.
Assuming that MPs will finally give us our say - something that they've denied us for the best part of forty years while committing treachery at will, so we won't hold our breath - attention turns to what might happen in a referendum campaign.
The smart bets are that the 'renegotiate' option will be piled upon by media and political parties alike, with those of us wanting withdrawal being falsely cast as xenophobes (as usual) and a fair few backers of the status quo bombarding us (with the aid of EU and corporate funding) with propaganda, outlining a whole pack of lies about the alleged benefits of EU membership.
This is not going to be a fair fight, one suspects.
We're about to see where the corporate money and the subversive lobbying influences are at play.
On November 5th, we'll be remember, remember-ing how MPs vote on October 27th - that's for sure.
Update at 16:25
Unconfirmed reports that both David Cameron and Ed Miliband intend to use a three line whip to force MPs to vote against a referendum. Unconfirmed.
Here's Nikki Sinclaire talking about a referendum on the Daily Politics:
Jail the looters... the banking industry!
Our elected representatives set out in statutes the terms of conduct in a creditor and debtor relationship, and set out what may and may not occur should a dispute arise.
We know, first hand, that Lloyds TSB think that they are judge and jury of the content of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Irrespective of what the statutory law says, Lloyds TSB decide for themselves how they will conduct themselves... not a care in the world what politicians decided in the Houses of Parliament.
Lloyds TSB plough ahead with whatever course of action they wish in disputes - even though the Consumer Credit Act 1974 says that they may not.
They just don't care what the Consumer Credit Act 1974 says. They'll take whatever course of action they want and stuff you, Houses of Parliament and your crappy laws. That's the way they behave.
And yes, we have the paperwork to prove it.
If any Member of Parliament wants to see how your very position is undermined, follow us on Twitter and send us a direct message. We'll give you all of the paperwork showing you how Lloyds TSB couldn't care less what you've put down in statute.
Understand this, politicians. The banks do not care what laws you make. They ignore them.
Once in this position of deciding that it could not care less what the Consumer Credit Act 1974 says, the part taxpayer-owned bank that is Lloyds TSB then engages in acts of relentless harassment designed to solicit complicity with their demands to hand over money.
Yes, we have the paperwork to prove it.
The Consumer Credit Act 1974..? Lloyds TSB thinks it can ignore it.
Harassment? A criminal offence punishable by a prison sentence. Yet Lloyds TSB doesn't care. It harasses you anyway, despite it being a criminal offence, because they know no-one cares about the conduct of banksters.
This entire mindset ties in with the incomprehensible sums of money given on the never-never to the banking industry by lunatic (at best) politicians.
There is no difference between the looters who terrified the nation earlier this year and the smash and grab villains of the banking industry.
In an exchange on Twitter just now, Max Keiser remarked to us: "How come looters in London weren't given brokerages licenses to grow the UK econ. They have proven they are good at looting."
Quite.
The creatures outside looked from banker to looter, and from looter to banker, and from banker to looter again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
Except that the looters of the lower classes may have been via the courts and via a prison cell while the looters of the banking industry are living it up in luxury.
All looters should be jailed. From the looters who rampaged at Clapham Junction, through to the looters operating in the British banking industry, right the way up to the privately owned central banks whose ponzi schemes and fiat currencies are causing the misery that we are suffering.
The politicians who allow the looting of the people by the banking industry are guilty by their complicity. Some have even played an active role in it. Some at the national level. Some at the lunatic, megalomaniac supranational level.
Guilt by complicity makes politicians just as criminal. Jail them too, I say...
Inflation hell: So, when did you last get an annual pay rise?
CPI at 5.2% and RPI at 5.6%
This is all before the lunatics at the Bank of England switch the printing machines on and create more fake money out of nothing, just because they can.
And those of us with gas and electricity bills will not be convinced that inflation is really only at 5.6%.
While all this is going on, many have been made redundant following the collapse of the global fiat currency ponzi scheme, the effects of the European Empire and it's calamitous dictatorship and economic collapse, or seen their jobs exported to India while lunatics like Chris Huhne prattle on about Mother Gaia while remaining blind to that rather bright mass in the sky known as the sun.
That lot, without mentioning Gordon Brown - the worst Chancellor of the Exchequer in British history. Probably.
That lot, without mentioning globalist profiteering, lowering wages for the indigenous population with mass migration meaning that they can pay Eastern European wages.
We digress.
Inflation figures at 5.6%.
If you are lucky enough to have kept your job... when you last had a wage rise (when was that?), what was your pay increase?
You haven't had a pay rise? When you last did, two years ago, it was 0.5%..?
That's okay. Your standard of living can keep on falling. That's what those inflation figures mean, at the end of the day.
We'll soon return to a standard of living last seen in Dickensian Britain or worse - a standard of living on par with India where most of our jobs have been exported to else where we keep giving billions in international aid (paid for from your taxes).
Got savings in the bank? Their interest rate of nothing means that the 5.6% rate of inflation has just reduced your nest egg for a rainy day in real terms worth.
And then George Osborne will be along in a minute, looking for more countless billions for you to cough up in order to keep the EU's lunatic single currency together (via the deceptive route of the IMF).
If you're not angry yet, you should be.

Sunday Paper Review: 16th October 2011
Knowing who on earth governs us wouldn't be a bad start, but the Independent on Sunday will give you new questions rather than answers.
It alleges that the man at the centre of Liam Fox's resignation, Adam Werritty, "had links to Mossad" and "...worked closely with US-backed neocons who thought they could 'bring down Ahmadinejad'."
Go on... tell me that conspiracy theories are all ludicrous after reading that. Sounds like a storyline from Spooks. If David Icke told you that in one of his talks, some of you would think 'ooh, interesting' and some would say he was talking rubbish. Yet this is not David Icke claiming such a thing - it is the Independent on Sunday.
How are your perceptions challenged now?
The Observer tries to muscle in on the action, exploring links between Liam Fox, his now defunct charity Atlantic Bridge and US "neocons".
Problem is that The Observer is so ludicrously blinkered and biased itself that the entire report is littered with terms such as "climate change deniers" and "controversial stances on global warming". As such, the extremist positioning of The Observer itself keeps it and their unchallenging readers restricted to the lower tiers of the prisms of their own biases and agendas, causing them to miss exploring the bigger picture.
Well, they wouldn't want to start implicating any of 'their own' (pseudo leftists) in being part of the global conspiracy now, would they?
After all, many of us have worked out that 'man made global warming' is a key plank of the conspiracy.
Just a quick question for the typical reader of The Observer... name a single policy that has been enacted by Obama that was not a policy agenda being followed by George W. Bush. No? Thought not. When you can name one, we'll give some thought to the term "neocon" - and not before.
Similarly, if anyone can name a policy being followed by David Cameron that was not being followed by Gordon Brown, we'll run naked around the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
The Mail on Sunday reports that 'Cast Iron' Cameron "fears EU referendum revolt" amidst plans for a non-binding Parliamentary vote on giving us a say.
Despite many of us suspecting that any EU referendum will be rigged anyway, a 'well placed' Conservative Party 'source' tells the newspaper: "Cameron will move heaven and earth to stop this. The last thing he wants is a Commons vote demanding a referendum. He can ignore Tory Eurosceptics banging on about this but ignoring a Commons vote is another matter. So although there’ll be plenty of our MPs who’ll vote for it come what may, I’d be astonished if the PM didn’t order Tory MPs to vote against."
Go ahead, Cameron. Make UKIP's day...
Interesting angle on this in the Sunday Express. They state that John Redwood has told Cameron that his Cabinet is "too pro-Europe". 'No shit, Sherlock!' there.
The report then adds: "Mr Redwood, the MP for Wokingham, said the Tory Right regarded [Liam] Fox as one of only three truly Eurosceptic Cabinet ministers – the others being Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith and Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson."
Ahhh! So not even the Conservative Party believe the europlastic bollocks that falls out of the mouth of William Hague any more? Fascinating.
Dishonest Bilderberg-attending Chancellor George Osborne who has engaged in lots of tough talking about not giving more billions to Greece is reported by the Sunday Telegraph as admitting that we may have to give unspecified billions more to the IMF so that they can give it to Greece and any other lunatic eurozone nations demented enough to stay in the single currency... and they can then give it to the banksters.
Follow the next bit carefully...
Naturally, we'd have to lend the billions of money which isn't worth the paper it is not printed on from the banksters so that we could give it to the IMF who could then lend it to the ECB who could then lend it to Greece or Portugal or Ireland or Italy or Spain or whoever who could then give it to the banksters who we lent it off in the first place.
Keeping up?
The newspaper quotes Osborne as saying: "We have indicated our willingness to consider our position on resources for the IMF."
We, the people haven't indicated any such thing Osborne. Not a penny more to the global fraudulent ponzi scheme, you hear us? You lunatic.
The best the Sunday Mirror can come up with politically is the unfortunately comedic headline claim that: "Cameron drives women into the arms of Ed Miliband".
It's all a bit like 'so macho' Casanova being played not by Errol Flynn - but by Keith Harris's Orville.
And finally... Charlie Catchpole in The People gives us the never to be disputed headline: "Twit of the Week - Energy Secretary Chris Huhne".
We've all called him far worse, Charlie. Far worse...

Why this blogger won't be occupying anything except our nice warm, comfy sofa today...
Yes, the global insurrection that travelled from the Middle East, up through the 'indignados' of Spain before heading across the Atlantic to the United States ripples back out across the four corners of the world again on this sure to be momentous October 15th.
However, this blogger won't be getting off the sofa.
How can we go and support something that we do not know the aims of?
Max Keiser was saying on Twitter yesterday that the only point of occupying Wall Street is if the aim is to bring down a stock price to nothing. His idea was a global boycott on Coca-Cola. Destroy the brand, his plan.
At home, they're planning to 'occupy' the Stock Exchange... or as close as the City of London Police will allow them to get to it. Which might be several blocks away. A couple of miles, maybe. In fact, they might have to occupy somewhere that isn't even in the City of London at all. We shall wait and see.
What are they going to achieve?
They would be better served, all of them, if they merely entered lawful rebellion. Default on the debt. Think about it. A mass default on unsecured loans or credit card debts would bring the banksters crashing down. Especially if the bank in question is where the many billions of pounds of taxpayer's money went. Eh, Lloyds TSB?
This blogger has refused to pay back any more money to Lloyds TSB. In fairness, our 'debt' was purely the result of invented, imaginary "interest" - but by telling the bank that they could go whistle for it, we've achieved far more than anyone sitting outside on the streets of the City will accomplish.
The same could be done with the BBC. If everybody needs safety in numbers - fine. Pick a date, get people signing up to a pledge, and have everyone in the country agree that they weren't buying a new TV license from that date.
Simply 'occupying' makes for good television, but is useless without an objective being made known.
Who is behind the 'occupy' movement?
There are fingers in the United States pointing at arch globalist George Soros.
So, what's the hidden agenda here? Everyone across the globe out occupying for the sake of it and the solution is global government?
Wouldn't surprise me. After all, the corrupt and sinister European Union thinks that - no matter how miserable it makes people - the solution must be always 'more Europe'. Get lost.
One of the biggest voices behind Occupy London Stock Exchange is connected to the Pirate Party UK.
Yes, well we all like listening to free music and watching old TV shows and documentaries on the internet... wonderful. Beyond that?
Beyond that, the movement has Billy Bragg getting all excited and announcing his attendance.
Well, if I did not suspect the entire thing of being less than politically neutral before, the mere mention of Billy Bragg is enough to send me scurrying back into hiding - buried in a pair of headphones, blasting out 'I Vow To Thee My Country' as loud as the sound system and my eardrums will permit.
So no, I'm not occupying anything - nada... for now.
Over the last two years, this blog has received 174,269 pageviews and has been read by at least 50,738 individual UK I.P. addresses. We have informed - when you think of those numbers - at least a football stadium as big as a packed out Wembley that we DO have an English constitution that protects our rights, freedoms and liberties; a constitution that has been subverted by treacherous politicians who are serving their globalist masters and not we, the people.
In the U.S., while it is 'Occupy Wall Street' that has dominated the headlines, the Alex Jones inspired 'End The Fed' movement is the more logical.
Back home, while we're sure 'Occupy London Stock Exchange' will be newsworthy - and we will cover it ourselves - a campaign to reassert our national constitution that has protected our rights, liberties and freedoms in England for 1,000 years seems to be a more objective based idea.
For all of those reasons, we will not 'occupy' anything but our nice warm comfy sofa today.
However, we will go out and demonstrate our beliefs on November 5th.
Between now and then, we will monitor the situation... which probably means watching a news service provided in Timbuctoo. You just know that the media here is going to be Biased Beyond Conception.
With a H/T to Zero Hedge, we leave you with video of students protesting banks in Italy yesterday:
...a report on 'Occupy Wall Street':
...and the London Evening Standard headline: Riot police deployed for Wall St copycat protest in City.
Occupying or not, we do all know that it's now a case of us against the treasonous establishment politicians and banksters. We the people are all on the same side in that battle.
Though despite being on the same side in the battle, we don't have to be on the battlefield on the same day as those we are not certain we can trust.

Quote of the Day: 14th October 2011
Ethno-nationalism also explains a disintegrating world order. Aspiring nations like Scotland, Catalonia, Padania, Flanders, Ingushetia, Dagestan, East Turkestan, Kurdistan and Baluchistan seek a place in the sun, free of the cloying embrace of the mother country.
The desire of peoples for nations all their own, where their own language, faith and culture predominate and their own kind rule to the exclusion of all others, is everywhere winning out over multiculturalism and transnationalism."
- Former US Presidential Candidate Patrick J Buchanan at World Net Daily

Helmer escapes hell in the Conservative Party after Britain's referendum rogering by Cast Iron
Much has been said about Helmer's decision to stand down by other bloggers.
At this blog, we tend to take a similar view to that of Autonomous Mind.
Whilst waking up to the real nature of the Cameron-led Conservative Party very late in the day, Helmer has clearly - no matter the timing - decided that he can no longer reconcile his principles with those of the Conservative Party that he is meant to belong to.
Indeed, the trajectory of the Cameron-led Conservatives and the Clegg-led ironically named 'Liberal Democrats' appears to be towards a permanent marriage which could call itself the 'Anti-Democratic AuthoroLiberal Conservative & European Unionist Windmill Party'.
Ridiculing the parties aside, the defection to UKIP of Lord Hesketh and now the principled stand-down by Roger Helmer piles pressure on and focuses the spotlight towards the tiny handful of genuinely patriotic politicians in the Conservative Party.
How they will now be feeling and reconciling their position in the Conservative Party on this, Margaret Thatcher's birthday, is anybody's guess.
One could start to suggest that the Conservative Party has been destroyed from the inside. Clearly, it is a party that no longer belongs to its members.
'Absolutely Insane' - Nigel Farage on push towards a United States of Europe
Here's the latest interview with Nigel Farage:
And from earlier in the week, an in-depth interview with Marta Andreasen:
Conservative Party Europlastic Watch: Zac Goldsmith
However, on Tuesday, a couple of hundred of them traipsed through the lobbies with the LibDems - voting to show their support for giving all of austerity Britain's cash to Ireland and Portugal.
The jackbooted authoritarian Labour luvvies mostly sat on their hands and, if the weird voiced Milibland wants to take our advice, he should make his party sit on their hands on EU matters more often - unless there's something patriotic in it.
That way, we can see the terrible Tories for what they are really easily.
Here's the votes from Tuesday. We've now included them in our 'M.P. Watch'.
But what's that we see? Could it really be?
Why! Yes! It seems there's Zac Goldsmith who seems to have simultaneously voted yes and no on the same single House of Commons division.
Now, unless the Hansard people have made a mistake which hasn't been corrected...
...it would appear that Goldsmith wants his cake and eat it.
By voting 'aye' to giving all our remaining austerity cash to Ireland and Portugal, he can please his whips and political masters.
Yet by voting 'no' at the same time, he can cancel out his own vote and run back to his constituency telling his local voters how he'd been a knight upon a steed, fighting back the dreadful EU looters.
Bollocks, Goldsmith.
If Hansard have made an error, we will issue you with a full and public apology.
However, on the basis of appearance, we award you the sad title of Europlastic of the Week.
Dreadful business...
UPDATE at 08:05
We do like to give a right to reply and we'd actually give a nod of respect to Zac Goldsmith for engaging with people on Twitter rather than doing the usual politician thing of using it to pontificate.
We asked about this vote publicly. He replies: "It's a positive abstention (the only way to do one is to vote both ways)."

"What Hitler failed to do, the EU has now done" - Lord Monckton on the Alex Jones show
Here now is that interview...
Meanwhile, to much applause from the PEOPLE of Europe, Slovakia has rejected significantly boosting the euro bailout fund in a vote that has also, it appears, brought down the Government.
Though as you know with EU politics - exemplified by Ireland - they will just keep voting again until the European Empire gets the answer it demands.
The word 'no' is not in the EU's jackbooted vocabulary.
Don't take our word for it - not that you need any convincing.
The Evening Standard notes: "EU officials still may be able to find a way of getting around the Slovakian rejection of the bill to boost the powers and size of the euro bailout fund, which is designed to contain debt market turmoil, but doing so would carry costs to European unity."

November 5th: National 'Burn The EU Flag' Day
The blogosphere's very own V for Vendetta, Old Holborn, is planning a walk around Westminster with some no doubt fellow masked conspirators.
There's also a British Constitution Group convention that this blogger is hoping to get along to, assuming we've not left it too late to buy tickets. We'll think about asking them for a 'press pass' if it is. ;)
Yet the event that caught our eye and made us chuckle is being staged, it seems, by the English Democrats. Now, this blog fully admits we don't give the English Democrats anything like enough coverage - in fact, we're guilty of hardly giving them any coverage at all.
So, we're more than happy to put that right by signposting and encouraging people to join in with their 'National Burn The EU Flag' Day on November 5th.
The headline is: "14 rockets are to be lit outside Doncaster Town Hall to commemorate the Burning of the EU Flag at 17.00hrs."
Facebook members can find out more about the stunt here.
It has been a wide discussion point that the Lisbon Treaty has a clause which allows for death by hanging for those engaging in such an activity...
...but you can be sure that this blogger will, on November 5th, engage in an EU flag burning all of our own.
Whether you're an English Democrat or not, November 5th is one day of the year that - 'elf and safety busybodies permitting - we all have a bonfire close at hand.
So, what is a patriot to burn on it..?
- If there's anything else of a similar nature taking place on November 5th or any other day of the year, do feel free to let us know.

The need for English 'Oathkeepers' and 'Info Warriors'
Certainly, it would seem so terribly unbecoming of us to emulate our louder and far more brash American cousins. However, that is precisely what this blog post is going to advocate.
The terms 'Oath Keepers' and 'Info Warriors' probably - even to this blog's more clued up readers - conjures up a mind image of Alex Jones; a confident, loud Texan whose way of doing things probably makes one think of some of the excesses that we cucumber sandwich munching English would think rather unbecoming and uncouth.
We say that as a blog that respects Alex Jones and the information he imparts greatly.
There is no need to be afraid.
An English 'Oath Keepers' - comprised, like the American version, of former police constables, armed service personnel and the like would be a great organisation to get off the ground.
We mentioned, recently, the oath of a member of the Privy Council and - in particular - their vow to: "...bear Faith and Allegiance to the Queen’s Majesty; and will assist and defend all civil and temporal Jurisdictions, Pre-eminences, and Authorities, granted to Her Majesty and annexed to the Crown by Acts of Parliament, or otherwise, against all Foreign Princes, Persons, Prelates, States, or Potentates."
Read that vow again. Think of the European Union. Then remind yourself that the Lord President of the Privy Council is Nick Clegg.
What if we had an 'Oath Keepers' that knew the oaths and worked to make sure that all public servants - from politicians to judges and police constables - actually worked in accordance with their oaths?
As for 'Info Warriors', what I would like to suggest is the need for an English Constitutional Info Warriors group. Actually, not a group, but a college.
For many years, English people have been lied to. We have been told that this country does not have a written constitution.
True, our constitution is both written and unwritten. It is not codified in one single document.
However, big parts of our constitution are written - on great documents like Magna Carta, Habeas Corpus and the Bill of Rights 1689 - and these constitutional documents are being 'pretended' away by enemies of England.
We would like to think that one of this blog's attractions is our willingness to read these documents and share parts of what we discover.
However, we are merely wet-around-the-ears infants. There are some much wiser and far more intellectually capable sages with priceless wisdom about England's constitution - knowledge that could be shared.
This blog fully respects and admires the British Constitution Group for seeking to ensure that more people wake up to our English constitution and common law.
While we, at this blog, have one or two areas of discomfort with the English Democrats, we will give them praise for those areas of their website which also educate people about England's constitution, too.
Of these two, the British Constitution Group is the most active educator and sharer of wisdom and is a non-partisan organisation.
As a known UKIP supporting blog, not even we can claim that.
What we would like to see and advocate is the further advancement of the work of the British Constitution Group.
What would help us all is an inexpensive or - even better - free of charge network of colleges, physical or virtual, in which we could educate our fellow Englishmen and Englishwomen about the key aspects and workings of our English constitution and common law.
The wise sages and elders of such colleges would be our 'Info Warriors', educating future generations about the rights, liberties and freedoms of this country that made England a shining example to the world for hundreds of years.
At this moment in time, all of that information is out there, it is all freely available, it is all online and in libraries.
The difficulty is that people cannot look up and research that which they do not know exists.
Now imagine... imagine our 'Info Warriors' creating education packs - packs that could go out to anybody and everybody who wanted them.
Packs that could explain and educate people on our constitution and common law.
Packs that could be distributed to Conservative Party members, to UKIP members, to English Democrats, to the English Defence League and even to Labour and LibDem supporters (if they wanted them).
A few years ago, such packs would have had to be printed on paper and would have cost a fortune.
Now, they could be provided on a compact disc.
The workings of this proposal are something to discuss in the future.
For now, the idea is the key.
Oath Keepers of England to hold those who swear an oath to account.
And 'English Info Warriors' to educate all of England about our ancient rights, liberties and freedoms which must not be further subverted - indeed, the rollback against tyranny needs to be cranked up by a degree.
Perhaps then, we may see the arrests and convictions for treason that should have taken place in their hundreds over the last half century but have been noteworthy by their complete absence.
Addendum:
It's not just this country in which the globalists are trying to erase our history and knowledge. Watch this:

Ron Paul on 'End the Fed' (and UKIP's Godfrey Bloom on the same song sheet)
This visionary, wise politician made this speech - not yesterday or a week ago - but in 2008. He has been campaigning to 'End the Fed' and audit the private central bank for all that time.
Our readers in England shouldn't dismiss this - it is as relevant to England's current economic situation as it is to that in America.
Come on America - Ron Paul 2012.
As for England... who will step up and be our Ron Paul..?
Back at home, here's UKIP's Godfrey Bloom:
Jesse Ventura attends #Occupy in Minneapolis
His words should have strong resonance for those of us here in England opposed to the LibLabCon stranglehold which has stitched up our democracy and subverted our constitution.
No stranger to us or our closest neighbouring blogs, the endorsement by Jesse Ventura should strengthen indications that constitutionalists and small 'c' conservatives are part of this movement - not just the vociferous 'left'.
Meanwhile, the Oath Keepers organisation is supporting the move to 'Occupy The Fed'.
We can't speak for our readers but we would like to think that the 'Occupy The Fed' campaign is probably the one that a large number of our regulars would feel motivated to support, if they were based in the US.
To contextualise Oath Keepers, the closest thing we have in this country is probably the British Constitution Group.
Here's Alex Jones explaining why those defending the English constitution should support the 'Occupy' movement - with apologies for the one instance that might make some wince at the start of the clip!

Speeding while Tweeting: Chris Huhne's secret story becomes the story
Eco-loon and serial responder to police interviews Chris Huhne seems to have made a bit of a faux pas.
Earlier today, he seems to have mistakenly 'tweeted' - broadcast a message publicly - rather than sending the same message through the private messaging service on the website.
Tweeting too hastily? Not wise. One should think twice before speeding at the keyboard.
Huhne's tweet reads - or read, as it has since been deleted:
"From someone else fine but I do not want my fingerprints on the story C."
Political journalists are all over the line, many suggesting that Friday is the time when Ministers plant stories for the Sunday newspapers.
And the politically interested have even taken screenshots.
So, this Sunday, the game will be to try to 'Spot the Huhne' and work out exactly which story Chris Huhne was trying to get into the national headlines.
No sympathy for him here. Luhnatic.
Headline of the Day: "Pitchforks & torches up in sales"
Headline of the Day, something we've never done before, has just been created for RT.com who have just announced: "Pitchforks & torches up in sales".
The headline concerns a clip from The Keiser Report with Max Keiser & Stacy Herbert.
Which funnily enough, you'll find right here:

Quote of the Day: 6th October 2011
I can't believe I'm having to write this, but nothing new will be manufactured, invented or developed as the result of this monetary splurge, no services offered, no businesses founded. Rather, the money already in circulation – the money in your bank account, in your purse, under your mattress – will be worth less. The government, in other words, is helping itself to your savings – and, in doing so, is damaging productivity, disincentivising work and weakening the competitiveness of the British economy."

The Oath of a Privy Counsellor
But just what is the Oath of a Privy Counsellor?
Just in case either of them is reading, this is the oath their Privy Counsellor roles demand:
The Oath of a Privy Counsellor
You do swear by Almighty God to be a true and faithful Servant unto The Queen’s Majesty as one of Her Majesty’s Privy Council. You will not know or understand of any manner of thing to be attempted, done or spoken against Her Majesty’s Person, Honour, Crown or Dignity Royal, but you will lett and withstand the same to the uttermost of your power, and either cause it to be revealed to Her Majesty Herself, or to such of Her Privy Council as shall advertise Her Majesty of the same. You will in all things to be moved, treated and debated in Council, faithfully and truly declare your Mind and Opinion, according to your Heart and Conscience; and will keep secret all matters committed and revealed unto you, or that shall be treated of secretly in Council. And if any of the said Treaties or Counsels shall touch any of the Counsellors you will not reveal it unto him but will keep the same until such time as, by the consent of Her Majesty or of the Council, Publication shall be made thereof. You will to your uttermost bear Faith and Allegiance to the Queen’s Majesty; and will assist and defend all civil and temporal Jurisdictions, Pre-eminences, and Authorities, granted to Her Majesty and annexed to the Crown by Acts of Parliament, or otherwise, against all Foreign Princes, Persons, Prelates, States, or Potentates. And generally in all things you will do as a faithful and true Servant ought to do to Her Majesty
SO HELP YOU GOD

Boris backs an 'in-or-out' EU referendum...
Not the first time that Boris has shown that he is more 'conservative' than the leader of the Conservative Party.
More in tune with public opinion than the formerly 'eurosceptic' idiot in charge of the Foreign Office, too. The idiot in question is now starting to look desperate.
Far more in tune with his own party, too. A recent YouGov poll for the Vote UK out of EU campaign found that:
• 74% of Tories believe that Cameron SHOULD hold a referendum on the UK's continued membership of the EU
• 68% of these Conservatives would VOTE TOMORROW AGAINST the UK remaining in the EU
Well done, Boris. Now campaign on it, old chap! There's the fellow!
And sack whoever it was who tried to downplay your opinions for the sake of Camoron party politics at the end of the first report below...

A brief (patriotic) musical interlude...
Download from iTunes
UPDATE: Those who read the comments to this post will see us refer to 'Looking For America' by Mark Wills. For ease of reference, we've embedded this track for you, too.
We liked this one so much, we did actually buy it - despite not being American! :)
You are all 'europlastics' unless you pull your political weight
This is a story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.In the struggle to regain our sovereignty and freedom from the totalitarian regime in Brussels despite the wishes of the traitors occupying Parliament at Westminster...
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did.
Somebody got angry because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody knew that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Somebody wouldn't do it.
And Everybody blamed Somebody because Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
...I am put in mind of an anecdote relayed by Edwina Currie who, when a MP, observed how people passionately interested in a political issue had sat in the public gallery of the House of Commons for the debate in question.
Despite this level of interest, when she asked those people whether they had written to their MP about the issue that they were spectators to debate on, she found that "all too often" there was an embarassed shuffling of feet and looking at the ground.
One of the things that occurs to me is that there is a risk - if not already a reality - that the demand for the restoration of our sovereignty is seen by the same types of professional groaners as little more than a form of entertainment.
A spectator sport, if you will.
Now, I appreciate that not everybody is eloquent nor does everybody have the confidence to write letters to Members of Parliament.
Many of you will also feel that to do so is a waste of time - that they are a law unto themselves who do not act on what we instruct them to do.
Far too many of us have lived through our entire lifetime seeing that our wishes regarding the European Union have been dismissed, branded, insulted or ignored.
A degree of cynicism can be understood.
However, one would hope that this struggle for freedom and liberty is taken more seriously than being a spectator sport for those who haven't enough to complain about already.
Ask yourself, honestly, what is YOUR level of engagement? What are you DOING to try to help with the restoration of our national sovereignty, to safeguard our liberties and freedoms?
Being engaged to the degree where you will read what this blog, neighbouring blogs and newspaper columnists have to say is fantastic. Taking time to respond by posting your opinions in response is even better.
What else can you do?
You can join a political party. It doesn't have to be UKIP - we would highly recommend the British Constitution Group, too. The two organisations are not incompatible.
As well as joining, you could attend their meetings.
You could stay 'free range' and - if not able to write letters - you could visit your MP in their surgery.
You could find out what events are taking place in your local area and go along, become engaged.
Sign a petition - organise a petition.
If you have a big enough group of friends and supporters, you could even organise a march... anything!
The point is that this is a really serious issue that, if you treat as little more than a spectator sport, the politicians will carry on doing whatever they like - knowing with a quiet smile that you're going to do nothing more than read other people moaning about things.
You HAVE to become more engaged.
While there are some really dedicated people who work tirelessly - both professionally and privately - it cannot be left to a tiny number of people to invest the entire effort required of the many.
If the demand for our nation's future and the defence of our ancient liberties is to be a struggle to be won, you have to treat it more seriously than being a spectator sport.
To be simply a spectator makes you the very same 'europlastic' that you now describe the typical Tory of being.
One criticism that we will make is this - for all the winding up we do of 'Leftists', we'll concede a huge chunk of ground to them... they certainly seem far more able to make their voices heard on a whole range of issues.
If 'our side' were as passionately ENGAGED and ACTIVE in politics as 'leftists' are, would we be in the state that we are in, in this country now?
Where is the million man march demanding a referendum (at least!) on the European Union..?
What? You want me or one of our neighbouring bloggers to organise it for you? I can't speak for all of our neighbouring bloggers, but I'm sure they'd say: "We can't do everything for you... this is hard enough a task as it is!"
Each to their own strengths and resources.
"There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it..."

The EU plot to shutdown the City of London
Last week, during his State of the Union address, Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, announced that a financial transaction tax would be proposed as a law. Barroso said that the tax could generate £47billion a year for the European Union. The tax would levy trades in shares and bonds at a rate of 0.1% and derivative contracts at a rate of 0.01% from January 2014.
Such legislation would have a negative impact on the City of London and could drive financial firms out of London to other capitals around the world where such a tax does not exist. City of London officials have said that about 80% of the revenues of any Europe-wide financial tax would come from London. When Sweden introduced a similar tax it saw disappointing revenues and many financial companies leaving the country.
The Government has said it would veto any attempt to introduce the tax unless it was a global proposition. However, a group of European politicians are attempting to impose the levy in a way that would leave the UK powerless to veto it.
According to UKIP sources, Alggirdas Semeta, the European tax commissioner, has already started work on a project on presenting the financial transaction tax as a 'value added tax' which could be imposed without being ratified by a vote.
Godfrey Bloom MEP, UKIP's Business spokesman, said: "The word in Brussels is that Semeta and his cronies are hellbent on finding a way of introducing this devastating tax without letting member states vote on it.
"Not only does this show the extent that the EU will go to to get its way, but also the contempt it appears to have for the City of London.
"If our elected politicians do not fight tooth and nail to oppose the financial transaction tax then it will be the end of the City of London as we know it."
