End of Year Reflection (inc. Best & Worst Politician Poll Results)

So, that's 2011 consigned to the history books then - and what a year it was.

Twelve months ago, we predicted the obvious when flagging the Kaiser Chiefs "I Predict A Riot" as the anthem for this year.

Events played out exactly as we thought they might. The early signs were there at the tail end of 2010 when the students forgot that it was Labour who brought in the current system of tuition fees and took the opportunity, egged on by various leftist fifth columnists, to smash up the centre of London as part of their quest to express their hatred of "Tory scum" (which has little to do with tuition fees, really).

We had also been warned - by leftists themselves - that the leftists would exploit the global economic Armageddon still unfolding to explode ideological violence and carnage throughout the country. Amazingly, the police hadn't stepped in when they were boasting about this plan of "resistance" in the pages of The Guardian.

Quite what role these fifth columnists played in what actually then happened remains unknown - though some of us have our suspicions.

A man of an ethnic origin which we may not discuss was shot dead by police in Tottenham. A familiar pattern. The police story and that of the local community (who thought the gun-toting bad 'un was a saint) did not tally. Police forces made matters worse by attempting to bullshit their way out of more ineptitude (or plain wickedness - take your pick)...

...and the whole country erupted.

Some claim that the burning down of Croydon, Battersea, Ealing and (somewhat bizarrely) Wolverhampton (amongst other places) were directly linked to events in Tottenham - but we're more sympathetic to the conclusion of Patsy Stone in TV's Absolutely Fabulous who comically labelled the events as "extreme shopping".

The police - who literally stood by and let Britain burn, leading to many terrified members of the public to call for martial law on the streets of the UK - have since spent the entire year arresting tens of thousands of people for the biggest looting spree in the history of capitalism and there are currently more people in prison for looting than there are immigrants in Tower Hamlets... which is quite a lot of people.

By contrast, the people of Spain gave the world a demonstration of how to hold a peaceful protest - occupying Madrid's Puerta del Sol and similar squares all over the Spanish mainland in protest at austerity and the untrustworthiness of all politicians, irrespective of political party.

The people of Greece attempted to follow suit and found themselves repeatedly on the receiving end of chemical weapons deployed both by their own police forces and - according to eyewitness accounts - foreign paramilitary forces who were deployed by the global elite to deal with the Greek masses. William Hague, our lesser spotted Foreign Secretary, has still yet to publicly condemn the use of chemical weapons against the Greek people by foreign dictators and he remains a pathetic, weak disappointment for it.

These events preceded a global 'Occupy' movement - which had also had origins in the Middle East - which reached an impressive critical mass in the United States.

Here in the UK, the 'Occupy' movement was met with much derision after very few people lent it support - probably due to being an obviously extreme leftist movement who, after defecating on one of Britain's most beautiful cathedrals, succeeded only in bringing down a couple of clergymen.

Democracy was dealt a fatal wound after the Prime Ministers of both Greece and Italy were removed by the European Union whose pathetic euro currency proved to be an unlikely survivor of 2011. Which is not to say that the currency is a good one... it is the undead currency which at some point will have to bow to inevitable mortality and die.

The West went to Libya and committed another war crime in the complicity of the murder of a Gadaffi or three while, in America, Dominic Strauss Kahn did not have sex with that woman.

So, who were your heroes and villains of 2011..?

In our poll, you voted Chris Huhne as your Worst Politician of 2011. A sizable proportion of you - 29.8% - thought he was the absolute worst of the worst... and we'd be inclined to support that view.

Interestingly, Prime Minister David Cameron started out as the hottest contender to win the dubious honour - but he finished second with 17.4% of your votes after not actually vetoing any new EU treaties turned out to be enough for him to cease receiving your ire.

For a second consecutive year, you have voted UKIP's Nigel Farage as your Best Politician of 2011. 56.9% of you gave him your approval - a huge number in a field of twelve nominees. Coming in second was Conservative "eurosceptic" MEP Daniel Hannan who found 24.1% of you giving him your thumbs up. The highest ranking MP in our poll was Douglas Carswell - third overall - with 8.6% of our reader's votes.

Our hero of the year mention goes to the people of Spain who impressed us continually with their masterclass in how to stage a peaceful protest.

For 2012, our man to watch is US Presidential candidate Ron Paul - currently surviving against the odds as the US political establishment try (and fail) to destroy his popularity. We expect and hope for great things of Ron Paul... provided the globalists don't send him the same way as JFK.

Our second prediction is that, somewhere in Europe, one of the formerly sovereign nation states will see the walls come tumbling down. Whether it will be people power or a military coup, no-one can predict. What is certain is that these countries are not going to tolerate the madness of diminishing living standards caused by despotic globalists for much longer.

In order of places to watch, Greece must top the obvious list... but watch Spain and Portugal, too.

One other country to keep an eye on is Hungary - they're starting to exhibit a backbone and could potentially be the country to tell the EU where to stuff it.

So, our prediction tune for 2011 is this one:

Happy New Year (or not, if the Mayans were on the nail - all the signs are that they may well have been.)

Quote of the Day: 30th December 2011

"It’s now clear that if, instead of joyfully counting their euro coins, the people of Greece had spent the morning of January 1 2002 torching their shipyards and dousing their olive groves in napalm, their economy would be in a better state than it is now."

- Damian Thompson for the Daily Telegraph, helping the BBC's ever diminishing standing in the eyes of the British public towards the apocalypse of privatisation.

Daft Dave's Government Sups on Labour's Nanny State Hair-of-the-Dog

They could have just enjoyed Christmas and New Year, but no - the Conservative Party couldn't help itself and had to go waving policies up the flagpole of public opinion, only to find open hostility even at this time of seasonal goodwill to all men.

That hostility is completely understandable as, with the policy in question being one of minimum alcohol pricing legislation, the current Conservative Party is demonstrating that it is a continuation of the socialist, Nanny-state, interfering, meddling busybody Government kicked into touch by the electorate when it was calling itself Labour.

So much for free market capitalism and a scaled back state, the latest move shows - yet again - that it is impossible to spot any significant policy gaps between the Conservatives, Labour and the LibDems; all of whom haven't yet woken up to the simple idea that the majority of British people want the Government to p*** off and leave us all alone.

However, a truism for the British people to get to grips with is that Government is in the business of meddling and interfering. Meddling and interfering is what government does, no matter the party political label one sticks on the package.

What we get, therefore, is a bored and devoid of ideas Government with no ability to do anything about the economy or immigration, hopeless on manufacturing and employment, scratching around for something to do through which to justify it's own existence.

Having already decided that all smokers must be treated as social pariahs and banned from anywhere and everywhere, the Government is now targeting drinkers.

As if any reminder were needed of the extent of government nanny stating initiatives, the Anti-British Broadcasting Corporation yesterday reminded us all that a ban on tobacco displays is still on it's way.

With sales of newspapers in decline over many years, newsagents had better hope that bored Government doesn't add attacks on Dolly Mixtures to it's "we need something to interfere in" list...

...else the newsagent industry will have to place itself alongside the Great British Pub on the national endangered business list.

For those who scoff, the shipbuilding, coal and steel industries of Britain never thought they would end up all but vanished - so watch out for initiatives to outlaw Dolly Mixtures, coming from whichever Government has it's despotic hands on the levers of power soon.

The BBC: The one Auntie even less welcome in your home at Christmas than the Mother-in-Law

With apologies to Mother-in-Laws everywhere (or should they be Mothers-in-Law?), we've just sat down to watch a Roy 'Chubby' Brown DVD and we're feeling gloriously politically incorrect.

Here's a truth. In real life away from blogging, we occasionally have to mix and mingle with some of those. You know who.

No, not them. And no, not them, either.

Yes, them's the f***ers. Leftists.

Leftists. Mindless drones who think they're superior but don't have a single original sanitised thought or expression of individuality between them yet who somehow have declared themselves non-denominational God of all they survey.

The epitome of these, to most still sane, non-drone types not currently doing a twelve month stretch in Wandsworth for "incorrect" thought crime is The Guardian; that bastion of self-important claptrap served up daily to the holier-than-thou vicious squad of individuality destroyers known as the leftist.

Coming in a very close second, as close to The Guardian as a testicle is to lycra in a pair of Linford Christie's running shorts is the BBC.

Yes, it's the "impartial" national broadcaster whose mission it is to sanitise us all of any individuality, make us all walk around with self hatred for being British and to convince us all to consent to death by eugenics in the name of Al Gore's Mother Gaia.

They call the BBC "Auntie", but this is probably a misconception caused by a diversity ensured employee who - accent adjusted - is actually being honest and calling it what it is.

For it is not 'Auntie', but "Anti".

Because yes, the BBC is the Anti-BBC: The Anti-British Broadcasting Corporation.

Or, more accurately, the Anti-English Broadcasting Corporation.

It is an organisation whose high level leftist infiltration means that it's ability to ever restore it's reputation as an impartial broadcaster lies in tatters.

Anything it ever says on the EU: b*ll*cks.

Anything it ever says on "climate change": b*ll*cks.

The mother-in-law came round for Christmas and asked if she could watch something on the BBC.

I said to her what I always say to the Mother-in-Law. "F*ck off."

Boxing Day Quote of the Day

"In those sunny, Rose Garden days, Brussels was the smallest cloud on a distant horizon.

But it was obvious to anyone with eyes to see that Cleggie would never abandon his first true love.

...the Lib Dems are a separate species, throwbacks to another age who bred with Labour deserters to survive in the wilderness.

Why are Old Labour crusty Vince Cable and mad-eyed Chris Huhne allowed anywhere near the levers of power?"

A Christmas Quote from The Future King's Mother

"Christmas is a time which can be lonely, can be sad, but it can also bring joy, laughter and light, and a time of blessings to so many. However, for some children who are suffering distress or pain, Christmas simply serves to underline their loneliness. Let us reflect on how we can continue to make Christmas special to all children who need so much love and support."

- Diana, Princess of Wales; foreword to the book Once Upon A Christmas, raising funds for Childline

May we wish all of our readers a wonderful, safe and happy Christmas.

Quote of the Week: 'You're a bah humbug, Clegg!' Edition

"One has to start by trying to understand Mr Clegg. He is British by passport rather than much else. He describes himself (accurately) as European rather than English. He sneers at the country of which he is Deputy Prime Minister as a "pygmy country".

I never imagined that under a Conservative Prime Minister we would have to put up with a Deputy Prime Minister who would begin to make John Prescott look good. Sadly that is the case today."

Sunday Paper Review: 18th December 2011

It's a festive Sunday paper review this week and we can think of no better report to open it with than the report in The People on the Government's publication of a list of "Christmas elf and safety myths".

Written in a very much fun, yuletide yarn way, the story has at it's heart an apparent determination by Government to stamp out the banning of harmless activities through a false plea to health and safety legislation.

Speaking of the potential early Christmas present for those of us who prefer common sense and a little liberty, Work & Pensions Minister Chris Grayling is quoted by the newspaper as saying: "Christmas is a time for celebration and fun. We're determined to stamp out the health and safety killjoys who try to bring the spirit of Scrooge to Christmas events."

The Sunday Telegraph bring Christmas cheer for David Cameron's Conservatives who - after Dave's phony 'veto' of a still unwritten treaty - find themselves six points ahead of Labour in the latest ICM poll.

Funny what listening to the electorate on the EU might potentially do for you, eh Dave? You might want to try it.

Yet the bigger story is contained within the body of the newspaper's report on the Tory poll boost.

It appears that the newspaper has received a letter organised by the Institute of Economics Affairs and signed by sixteen European economists.

It states: "The euro can never work and the EU can never be a thriving economic area again unless there is radical labour and product market deregulation and lower taxation. These are the crucial challenges facing the EU and member governments and they are currently moving in the wrong direction. We see no sign that those discussing how to deal with the euro crisis understand the actions that need to be taken. Whether the euro survives or not, this attitude will lead to gradual decline and increased social conflict within the EU. It may ultimately lead to its disintegration."

No such festive cheer for Milibland-Minor. The Independent on Sunday delivers a blue Christmas for the Labour leader by giving him a public 'downgrade' in a ratings agency themed assessment of the party leaders, saying of Milibland's leadership: "Negative outlook, at risk of a default which could lead to the completion of a distressed exchange offer with his brother."

According to The Observer, it is looking unlikely to be a Joyeux Noel for the French, either.

They report that: "Standard & Poor's – one of the three top rating agencies – is expected to cut France's rating within days."

So France is over-rated? Who'd have thought...

We've seen online suggestion that the leaders of a nation hear about ratings decisions some time before they are publicly announced - so perhaps some of the French tantrums thrown in our direction have been a reaction to bad news that they know is coming..?

The Sunday Mirror has an interesting story which shows the sleight of hand normally at the centre of any story related to the abominable EU.

Not forty-eight hours after much fanfare about how British fisherman were celebrating a rise in their quotas (a bizarre concept in the first place), the Sunday Mirror elaborates noting: "But trawlers will find it hard to take advantage as, in a move to conserve stocks, they face a 25% cut in days they can spend at sea."

Away from politics, we at this blog don't mind admitting that we simply adore Prince Harry. That he is Diana's son is only part of it.

So we love the story in the Mail on Sunday about how Harry (didn't quite) race to the rescue when a friend was being mugged of his mobile phone while the two were chatting.

Harry and his protection officer reportedly circled the streets of Battersea looking for their unlucky friend before locating him at the local police station where Harry gave a witness statement.

The Daily Mail report notes: "It is believed to be the first time a senior Royal has walked into a police station to report a crime."

And we stay with Prince Harry for our next story, a totally heart-warming report in the Sunday Express which details how he and Prince William are preparing to use Diana's former apartments at Kensington Palace for charity functions while also making plans for their future homelife at the Palace.

There's one line in the Sunday Express report which seems apt to end a festive newspaper round-up by quoting.

It states: "The princes have made no secret of their desire to keep their mother’s memory alive and their decision to make use of her former home shows their determination to continue her charitable legacy."

Peace on earth, goodwill to all men.

Several years late, but are even Conservative MPs now catching up with the public discourse on treason?

For those of us in the patriotic blogosphere, exploration of the concept of treason (and it's little sister, sedition) has been a frequent mainstay of the last few years.

As more and more sovereignty has been ceded to the European Union - especially since the signing of the Lisbon Treaty - those murmurs of 'treason' have grown louder and louder.

Members of the public have flooded comments pages of all of the mainstream media with the word because - we feel - once people know about the treason laws and their definition according to statute (let alone common law), the people can only conclude that a number of our politicians should be up on treason charges.

Many thousands of people have send affidavits to Her Majesty The Queen, alleging conspirators in Parliament (and elsewhere) have been engaged in treason and - under the Magna Carta - they have entered "lawful rebellion" until such time as Her Majesty does something about it.

Lawfully, we are all obliged to do the same, following the formation of a Baron's Committee under Magna Carta's security clause. Not "conspiracy theorists" or "loonies" - these are real Barons and Lords of the realm who triggered Magna Carta.

What your thoughts are on that depend very much on how much you have read and/or how close to the treacherous you find yourself.

So, with all that in mind, we were very intrigued by today's Daily Mail front page (above - H/T: SkyNews) which shouts out the accusation to it's millions of readers - both those who are active readers and passive consumers of headlines - that Nick Clegg is engaged in "treachery".

To quote from their story:

Nick Clegg and Lib Dem Cabinet ministers are today accused of plotting to persuade business leaders to undermine David Cameron’s historic stand against a new EU treaty.

In an email leaked to the Mail, the heads of blue chip firms are asked to sign up to a letter demanding that the Government ‘re-engages’ with Brussels.

It is being circulated by leading City lobbyist Roland Rudd following a meeting with Mr Clegg, Vince Cable, Danny Alexander and Chris Huhne. It says it is ‘imperative’ that Britain is not left on the ‘outside’ when important decisions are taken on the future of Europe.

However, if that wasn't enough, the more curious line is contained further down in the report. It states:

"The revelation prompted cries of treachery from Tory MPs"

Now 'treachery', the act of treason, is something very specific.

Those of us in the patriotic blogosphere have soundly accused a whole plethora of politicians of treachery and many of us have written to Her Majesty The Queen highlighting individual cases else sending those aforementioned affidavits.

Sadly, the Daily Mail report keeps us tantalised, elaborating no further on those allegations of 'treachery'.

We would like to know more.

If Conservative MPs are finally waking up to the public discourse on treason, this could be an interesting development.

However, we remind you that UKIP were already on this case FOUR YEARS AGO. Here's Gerard Batten, discussing treason publicly in the belly of the beast that is Brussels:

We assert once again - all of those EU treaties were unlawful under England's constitution and we will NEVER accept any of them here, no matter what treacherous politicians might say, sign or do.

End of Term Report, Dec 2011: Our Top of the Class and naughty brats of the House of Commons

Since the General Election, we've been keeping an eye on our Members of Parliament, following their major votes in the House of Commons for our 'M.P. Watch' page and tallying those votes and one or two of their other actions - brilliant or, more usually, incredibly annoying - into a points table.

Generally, they get one 'plus' point for a major vote we agree with, one minus point where we strongly oppose them.

Here then is the end of term report for Christmas 2011 - the M.P.s who are doing well... and those Members of Parliament that we're putting on a concerned watchlist.

Remember, this is based purely on Parliamentary voting records plus the occasional personal merit or otherwise, so if you know this blog and our politics, then these are our lists of people to watch. The politicians who are trying to put the 'Great' back into the - ummm - UK... and the swine who keep stuffing our country up.

Note the impressively high standing of not one but TWO Northern Ireland MPs here. If Cameron and Clegg were to have a permanent broken backed tiff, we think Dave's "eighty-one backbenchers" might find happier colleagues there...

...our bottom of the class is almost exclusively comprised of non-movers who remain enemies of all this blog stands for. Almost all of them are LibDems - though THREE of them are supposedly Conservatives!

Top of the Class:

1. (1) Douglas Carswell +19

2. (3) Bill Cash +15

2. (2) Philip Davies +15

2. (3) David Nuttall +15

5. (5) Christopher Chope +14

Latest thoughts from Nigel Farage...

(Updated) Germans polled say they're "Better Off Out" of EU as views of "Little Englanders" are supported by a German Parliamentarian

For those of you who only get your news from the EU's very own Pravda - the BBC - you'll miss out on viewpoints aired on that more reliable and genuinely Russian-linked broadcaster, RT.

While "the left" and their British mainstream media cheerleaders prefer to ignore British MAJORITY public opinion and call us "Little Englanders", "xenophobes" and "racists"...

...our views are backed by an incredibly diverse range of people from across the European continent.

Here's German Parliamentarian Frank Schaeffler who tells RT:

"The European Union does not need more centralization. Excessive centralization has actually been the key problem and the reason why we are facing the current crisis. The euro has been a project of the planned economy developed and enforced from the top. The members that have become part of the eurozone project are very much different from each other and cannot provide for a common homogeneous currency space. That's what has become so obvious under the present situation. Now they want to resolve the problem by introducing more centralization while centralization is the root cause of the problem."

Don't believe us? Listen for yourself:

He even sounds like Thatcher at Bruges towards the end, uh... as well as calling the French political elites 'dangerous'.

Anyway, go on, leftists... call this wise German Parliamentarian a "Little Englander" - we could do with a laugh, as the LibDems are wearing a little thin as a laughing stock.

Then again...

UPDATE at 14.25: Meanwhile, a poll published in Germany's Bild finds that a MAJORITY of German people now think that their country would be better off out of the EU! (HT: Open Europe)

LibDems attack Britain and democracy... on day UKIP overtake them to become Britain's third party

Nick Clegg - often the target of derision on this blog - finally committed political suicide this morning.

Talking to Pravda the BBC, Clegg declared that Britain would be a "pygmy" without the European Union.

So, now you know what the EU-placeman who has dedicated his life to serving his EU-masters REALLY thinks of this country.

Nick Clegg thinks we're nothing. In his own word, he thinks we're "pygmies".

And he's Deputy Prime Minister and President of the Privy Council?

Meanwhile, over on the other channel which has an obsession with "yoof cultcha" and Jordan's boobs, Paddy Pantsdown was denouncing Conservative Party backbenchers who keep on voting against the EU as "bastards".

That those backbenchers represent the views of their constituents seems to have escaped Ashdown - another typical LibDem who loves the EU for reasons of his own.

Yet in describing MPs who vote against the EU as "bastards" - irrespective of John Major - Ashdown has shown his views on democracy and the electorate; you and I.

If you're not pro-EU and want a view, you're a bastard - according to Paddy Pantsdown.

British people who want their views expressed in a democracy? You're bastard pygmies, according to the LibDems.

How appropriate that this double case of hatred for Britain and democracy from the LibDems comes on the same day as...

...an opinion poll shows UKIP have overtaken the LibDems and have become the third party of those most likely to vote. UKIP are now on 8% nationwide, with the Britain-hating, democracy-scathing LibDems reduced to just 7%.

Call an election Cameron; time the Conservatives had a new coalition partner more representative of the views of the people.

What Britain is "isolated" from: Case #1 - Spain

Don't panic! Britain is "isolated", apparently. There's a relief!

Music for a Saturday night: One man's "isolated" is another man's "independence"...

The mainstream media have had a forty eight hour mantra of "Britain, isolated."

We haven't a clue why they should see that as a bad thing. We think it's a jolly good thing.

In fact, it's so jolly good, we're cracking out the Lulu records at the mere thought of it:

David Cameron finally finds a spine and says "no" to Merkozy

It's only 8am and we've been up for an hour, glued to events in Brussels already as David Cameron refused to agree treaty changes that form part of the latest EU power grab.

Lots of detail and analysis will still come - by the avalanche full - this morning.

Yet, on initial reaction, we must pay a rare word of praise to David Cameron.

We will await the usual fine print but, on face value, for the first time in years we have a British Prime Minister who has finally said 'no' to the EU in order to safeguard our sovereignty and democracy.

With the caveats already expressed, our praise for Cameron comes with the calming thought that we finally have a British Prime Minister saying 'no'... in order to defend the City of London.

What a shame that he and previous Prime Ministers have not done more to protect the national interest by defending our sovereignty, democracy and constitution first and foremost.

This blogpost will be continually updated as the day unfolds.

For now, get glued to the TV sets and contemplate a Swiss style UK-EU relationship while chewing on your Swiss style muesli.

For now, bugger me gently Cameron... where did you get that spine that's suddenly appeared? Threat of being sacked by your backbenchers, was it?

Betcha Nick Clegg is scweaming and cwying into his cornflakes this morning, and plotting to take his anger out on the students again...

EU Referendum - A Few Points

Quote of the Day: 8th December 2011

"As for a referendum guarantee that doesn't guarantee a referendum..."

- Bernard Jenkin MP, in comments quoted by People's Pledge

Farce, as unelected nobody from anti-democratic EU criticises Russian elections

Any budding playwrights amongst you really ought to be chronicling the current events in the EU through comedic blank verse - there's enough material in the utter ludicrousness of the whole shebang that, anyone documenting it thus will surely someday be seen as the early twenty-first century's Shakespeare.

Let us take the case of former CND gobshite Cathy Ashton who is shamefully from this country, though has never been elected to anything ever.

As you know, she now skips gaily around Brussels pretending to be the 'Foreign Spokesman' for the anti-democratic EU.

In that role, the unelected silly bint has criticised Russia over their elections.

She is on record as saying: "Reports of procedural violations, such as lack of media impartiality, lack of separation between party and state, and the harassment of independent monitoring attempts are [...] of serious concern."

Let us break that down, little by little.

Firstly, well done to Russia for having elections! In Greece and Italy, the EU has imposed two technocrat, compliant Prime Ministers without so much as a single voter being consulted.

Procedural violations are the de rigeur of the EU which has broken the rules of it's own treaties in bailing out it's bankrupt constituent parts.

That it bemoans media impartiality after the campaigns it waged on the vote again referendum in Ireland is one thing; the ongoing relationship between the EU and the BBC - amongst other British media organisations, especially at the time of the original Common Market referendum - is quite another.

The harassment of independent monitoring attempts? Ooooh. Of course, the EU need not do such a thing, as whenever the people of Europe say 'no' to the EU via the ballot box, the EU just ignores them and does what it wants - using intenational stormtroopers to gas the local population when the inevitable civil unrest breaks out.

Yes, William Hague - we all know what went on in Greece; something that you are still yet to condemn.

So, here she is. Unelected Cathy Ashton. Lecturing Russia on democracy!

She and the vile political construct that she represents clearly have no shame.

And David Cameron... don't think you're getting away with it. We're building up a lovely reserve of anger which we're going to unleash on you in the form of a venomous blogpost a little later. You snivelling little, spineless quisling.

Achtung, EuroCrash! We're all "conspiracy theorists" now...

Once upon a time, there was a sinister hidden government. It did not start out as a government but rather, it started out as a dark group of people with sinister concealed objectives.

A group of careful liars and confidence tricksters, they started wrapping octopus like tentacles around nation states under the pretence of preventing wars. As time went by, these people morphed into a real, live, ugly octopus called "the EU".

Some people spotted what was going on as their rights, freedoms and traditions were munched by the creature and they shouted at their governments: "Octopus! Octopus! Octopus!"

"Don't be silly," said the governments, "there is no octopus!" they said... while making sure they fed the octopus for which they were duly rewarded with twenty pieces of silver.

Soon, the people of a multitude of nation states were suckered by the octopus, screaming to be released. Still the governments pretended that there was no octopus.

Tired of hearing the screams, the octopus took away all of the people's money and gave them some pretend money instead.

As it was only pretend money, it was not long before all of the nation states were bankrupt.

At this, the octopus unleashed his cunning plan.

He said that, because none of the screaming people or their countries could look after their money, to protect them from the starvation they were suffering, he - a caring octopus - would scrap all the silly governments and be the Emperor of all people who would, from now on, spend only octopus money.

As real money had long since been vanished away, the starving people everywhere readily agreed. Governments were scrapped and everyone was given octopus money.

Soon after that, anyone who ever disagreed with the octopus was eaten by the eight-legged fiend and nobody lived happily ever after.

And those that lived all were forced to speak German...

-

Away from fairy stories, many people - normal rational people - are now questioning whether the Eurozone crisis is a currency crashed by design; a deliberately engineered crisis to further the agenda of "ever closer union". From the 'fiscal union' that will be offered (as if by magic) to the problem, political union will be inescapable... and none of those many countries or their pesky democracies will exist any more.

They do hang out with masonic types, after all.

You have been warned.

Some of us seem to have been saying: "We told you so!" for a very long time...

...but we were dismissed as xenophobes, Little Englanders and conspiracy theorists.

We're all "conspiracy theorists" now that we who've spoken out have been proven right.
