Hands Up EU

We are watching the results of the EU intransigence and sheer unadulterated adherence to a philosophy that has never worked or will ever work. The EU dream has been built on deceit and sheer trickery so will fail. But in doing so it will bring untold damage to the economies of most of the world. Do they care? Of course not. Greece is a victim of its own foolhardiness in adopting the euro through the manipulations of its economy. I see no reason for its continued membership. It should adopt the drachma again and run its own economy as it sees fit. The Greek people like the euro as it "gives us freedom to move about Europe without having to change currencies." This is crazy thinking as no thought has been given to the implications of the demands by other users of the same wretched system. Hence the austerity foisted on them by the erstwhile conquerors of their country. In the meantime Spain, Italy and Portugal are at the brink of collapse with Ireland knocking at the door. Merkel will be enjoying a schnaps with the new president of France, Hollande. Does growth and austerity mix? Not in that woman's eyes. The stock markets around the world are not happy and all because of those idiots in Brussels. It is time they went so that the rest of us can be governed by governments we elect and throw out when they fail-all to often I fear. It is time that we had the referendum on membership of the EU. We need a say in our destiny, so Cameron, do something about it now before you ruin this country further.

Murder of the Regiments

The government is at it again. The destruction of our regiments is to continue and with them goes even more of our proud history and sense of nationhood. Hammond the Defence minister wishes to destroy the great names of the Royal Scots, Black Watch and Argylls and this is all in the name of austerity. In the meantime we continue to pour into the coffers in Brussels £50m daily together with all the rest that is required to keep up with the tight strangle hold of implementing regulations. Cameron has said that he will negotiate our continued relations with Brussels but he does nothing. Lies and more lies. Where is there hope in the political elite? They are all the same, those so-called main parties with nothing to choose between them. It is time for change and the sooner the better. I shudder for the youth.

The Growth of Democracy

So that is it, the local elections are over and there is a little egg flying around. Labour is gloating, of course, but not an awful lot of people voted. Is that because they are fed up with politics and the persistent promises and lies? We must not forget that local elections are different from the national and EU merry-go-rounds as local issues are of importance and personalities dominate. However on this occasion national events will have had an effect. There is the failure of the coalition the make any impact on the national crises as they are quite unable and unwilling to address the real and fundamental problems, the EU and the euro. Both of these are having catastrophic effects globally. The EU will fail eventually but the eurocrats will pursue their dream until the bitter end causing misery to all. Like many tyrants they will seek asylum in some third world country to live the life of luxury on their ill-gotten gains; your and my money. The party of navel gazers, the Lib Dems had a particularly bad time and that was to be expected. They live in a fantasy world of make-believe and can never be regarded as leaders of substance. At long last the nation is starting to hear of Ukip and realise that they are no longer a group of old and bold trying to re-establish the past. It is a party representing all, both young and old, who have a real concern for our once great country. Such is apparently not part of the so called major parties ideology. That has to be why Ukip is making such a great appeal to the nation and will continue to do so. They are biting at the heals of the Lib Dems and it will not be long before that group reap their just deserves of oblivion. Ukip must continue to hammer home the right we have of a self governing and independent state. Their policies are sound covering all fields of government. Their belief in world trade especially within the Commonwealth is right, and the fact that European countries will continue to trade with is rightly acknowledged. Well done Ukip, continue the fight. You are the only party that has belief in the UK. Fly the flag, shout from the roof tops, in the drawing and dining rooms. Keep Ukip on your lips at all times. There is no fear of being boring. There is a need to stop the eternal oscillations between the Tories and Labour. They are as bad as each other and very little difference between them.

Enrichment by Politicians

Sarah Palin has attacked Congress for insider trading, forebidden to lesser mortals like you and me. Could this happen in Weatminster and Brussels? You bet it does. How else do so many MPs apparently on their uppers suddenly are to be found in exotic mansions-no names and no pack drill but you will all be able to name not just a few. The details of her revelations are to be found on Newsmax, http://is.gd/S4racg .
The European saga continues apace and German dominance, that so many lost their lives fighting, is reaching fruitition.

A Resume

It is time to offer some sort of explanation for the theme of these blogs. Firstly, I care deeply about our country and by that I mean the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. For hundreds of years we have existed and able to influence the world in many different ways, may be not always successfully but usually to the benefit of all. There has been strife at home as does and will occur with all nations but there is one aspect often not seen elsewhare and that is the great sense of righteousness and fair play. We have a democraticaly elected government and when no longer performinng can be thrown out. The system of election is not perfect and should be changed to be more representative. There is scope for change.

Since the mid seventies when we were asked to join a free trade market in Europe there has been a slow but ever progressive encroachment by a non-elected elete in Brussels over whom we have no control whatever. It is no longer a trading organisation but one of government by stealth. We are told that we have a say at the top table but that only amounts to 9%, therefore no influence in defence of our "sovereign" state. 70% of laws come from this source, there is control over education, civil liberties, law and order, immigration, terms of employment, jobs given to foreigners in preference to our unemployed, co2 policies that are a complete scam, forced purchase of military hardware which is often badly designed and much more expensive than that to be had from the US, and so on. When there is referendum within the EU and if the result is not as the Commission would like, there have to be more until it is. That is democracy!

On top of all this is the on-going saga with the euro which continues to have a catastrophic detrimental global influence. That and the whole European ideal are a gross example of the greed of a few and they should be swept aside . It is a disgrace that they can continue as they are doing in defence of their crazy ideals. One of their lies has been that they claim to have ensured peace in Europe since the last World War. This is sheer nonsense. NATO has done this. Anyway we have seen srife in Yugoslavia and the break up of the USSR, both totalitarian states.

What is the answer to all this? It has to be the break up of the EU as it is now. New treaties have to be made based on a free market and with our position in the world within the Commonwealth a reopenning of the markets there must be made to the mutual benefit of member countries. Ties and responsiblities are strong and should not be forgotten. It has been argued that we can not afford to leave the EU. Again nonsense as we have a negative trade balance with it. Countries there will not be able cease business with us.

Greece Continuo

I love it but then I don't. The saga continues and we are now to have a new Greek government which will put everything in order, debts will be written off, the people will leave the streets and be happy with empty pay packets. Taxes will not be collected but olives will still ripen on the trees and all be right again. Some hope! While Greece continues to love the euro which is given to them freely by the kind benefactors in the north of Europe. Merkozy thrive on power as the rest ot the world dances to thier tune. The situation is ridiclous and all for the sake of an ideal that was phoney from the start. Let the people of Europe rise up and end all this nonsense .Germany and France have always tried to rule Europe and they are doing it with no thought on the havoc about to take place. Our own politicians are no better as they wallow in the personal benefits reaped out of Brussels. There is money too in C02 and in Huhne's windmills to say nothing of the £50m handed over daily to the EU. I wonder if Huhne has a governer installed into his car yet. Probably not as that would be too sensible. I write from Mexico where the sun shines and all is "peaceful". At least it is on the Pacific Coast.

Caring

The care of elderly in NHS hospitals and homes has again been highlighted as appalling. One has to ask why and what is so at fault with government and administration that such can continue to exist. I know that I shall be accused of harping upon the past but one can not escape that it was really better in the "good old days". It comes down to the old story of too many chiefs and not enough Indians. What is wrong with a dedicated nurse caring for a patient totally, being it washing, cleaning, feeding, clearing up a mess in the bed or on the floor or even changing a light bulb and removing the spider hanging from above ? Nothing! Now we have to have teams of "trained" staff do do each of these things in conjunction with meetings under directives from on high. Above all these good "helpers" there are yet other layers of control or managing. What? There are some nice big salaries to be had here too. There by lies the problem together with the usual multitude of Health and Safety directives from you know where. Sack the lot and return to basics so that we can return to a caring society which will be both better and coast effective. http://is.gd/K36C6b
