BETTER OFF OUT

A BOO Welcome to Lord Pearson

BETTER OFF OUT has gained a forceful advocate of British freedom and independence with the election of Lord Pearson of Rannoch to lead UKIP.

 

As the next general election approaches, only 5 months to go, so pressure will grow on David Cameron to take a tougher line on the European Union and Britain’s place within it. His EU fudge and delaying tactics can only harm the Conservative Party in key marginal seats.

 

Meanwhile with Lisbon on the statutory books, the EU driven by Germany and partner France will take over more and more of our national life.

 

The City has suffered yet another blow with the appointment of Commissioner Barnier. It should be beyond belief that France is now regulating the City of London. How many more of our best financial entrepreneurs will now head for the exit? They may like to bear in mind that the EU has plans to impose exchange controls and exit taxes.

 

So will Cameron adopt real politik to ensure a clear Conservative victory? And if he becomes PM with a working majority will he tackle the EU head on?

Who is the new President of the EU? Fellow Belgian Paul Belien explains

Meet the President of Europe

From the desk of Paul Belien on Fri, 2009-11-20 09:32

Herman Van Rompuy. Get used to the name. He is the first President of the European Union, which with the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon by all the 27 EU member states in early November was transformed into a genuine United States of Europe.

The President of Europe has not been elected; he was appointed in a secret meeting of the heads of government of the 27 EU member states. They chose one of their own. Herman Van Rompuy was the Prime Minister of Belgium. I knew him when he was just setting out, reluctantly, on his political career.

High Representatives of EU Voters? No, Much Ado About Nothing

Will Baroness Ashton’s appointment as Lord High Commissioner for Foreign Affairs make a scrap of difference? Will the Belgian Herman van Rompuy, the first EU President, make any difference to the ‘union ever closer’ of the Lisbon Treaty?

 

With Berlin increasingly and overtly dominating EU policy, the quangocrat Baroness Ashton and a Belgian whom until this week was an obscure local figure are clearly mouthpieces.

 

If the job of President of Europe is really on a par with the President of the USA or President of China then surely Herman van Rompuy would have a sparkling track record. He has not.  What would Henry Kissinger have said on the phone to the man now representing 300 million people?

EU "putting Europe firmly on the road to war"

In a speech (see video below) to the European Parliament on 21 October, David Campbell Bannerman, the UK Independence Party MEP for the Eastern Counties and the Party’s Deputy Leader, has spoken out against the creation of the European External Action Service (EEAS), the European Union's own diplomatic service with embassies worldwide, describing the proposal as: “putting Europe firmly on the road to war once again.”

Speaking in Strasbourg, during a debate on the creation of the EEAS, Mr. Campbell Bannerman was scathing in his criticism of the creation of a diplomatic service designed to represent the interests of the European Commission, asking, "embassies represent national interests, so what national interest will these new EU diplomats and embassies represent?  It won't be those of our nation states, our trade or our companies, it will be the interests of the European Commission.  All other national embassies will become redundant!  Already British embassies around the world are selling off properties."

“Mr President", he added, "this 'masterplan' for an EU superstate is built on foundations of deceit, dishonesty and denial. But what the federalists are creating is not a new United States of America, they are creating a new Yugoslavia.  You profess to love peace, but by railroading through Lisbon and by this power grab of our embassies, you are putting Europe firmly on the road to war once again.”

Visit The Freedom Zone and stop the EU Gravy Train

If you're planning to be anywhere near the Conservative Party Conference this Monday or Tuesday, you must come and see our EU Gravy Train Set in The Freedom Zone at the Bridgewater Hall, right opposite Manchester Central, where the Conference is being held.  NB: You DON'T need a conference pass to visit The Freedom Zone.

Complete with troughing pigs, there's a serious purpose to the EU Gravy Train Set - you can stop the train simply by donating £1 to the BETTER OFF OUT campaign, to help finance its David & Goliath struggle to free the UK from the corrupt, costly and undemocratic EU Empire.  MORE
