Cameron has gone to war against his own country

Frankly the statement made by David Cameron outside Downing street is the most contemptible ever made by a British prime minister in that location. He deliberately uses the term Europe when he means EU to deceive and mislead.

He has tried to use fear and lies to enslave a once free and self governing democratic nation. He has shown his pathetic loyalty to the EU super state - and he lies about the consequence of the continuing pursuit of the EU superstate by Brussels.

Trying to hide his contemptible failure in reforming the EU by blaming those who want a free country as a threat is the action of a scoundrel.

You will know the quality of many in the area of politics by if they follow him.

They need to know they will *never* be politically forgiven nor will their actions be forgotten.

The consequences of the approach taken by Cameron will have repercussion including the invalidation of a remain vote- since it is being offered under a false prospectus.

The end of the beginning

So I am still asking what to think.

There a lot of smoke and misdirect out there. Many parties are finding aspects of the 'veto' last week convenient to play up. I'm not going to list them as they are all over the press.

If these events have a significance they are the El Alamein of the battle with the EU.

A victory, after so many retreats and defeats, but nothing like a war won.

In Churchill's words perhaps "the end of the beginning".

The problems are obvious. Cameron acted as he did as he had a shot gun forced to his back and needed to be seen to play along. Initially the Lib Dems were in on this, but then due to the extremist nature of Lib Dem Europhilia and hatred of the UK as a sovereign state had to move their position to one of shock.

Whilst his Eurosceptic credit was up - Cameron slammed the door on a referendum. ( Even if he wanted one he couldn't deliver as the Lib Dems won't allow it ).

In the mean time over in the technocrat lead European Empire the debt implosion is getting worse and worse. Greece, Portugal & Ireland are condemned to austerity without hope of parole. Italy may soon join them as its EU enforced governor tries to do his Brussels master's bidding.

Germany refuses to accept its responsibility for the currency union fiasco and trade imbalances its set up.

The one thing they can all agree on is the need for a scape goat - and that's going to the the UK and the city of London in particular.

Things are going to get nasty, very nasty indeed.

And the truth is still Cameron is no Churchill. He's a manager not a leader.

He looks good against the incredible weakness of Labour, and he has the tactical political instincts of Machiavelli - but still he has no political soul.

So has any of this made me want to renew my Conservative party membership ? Well I thought about it, but the truth is given the crisis and the threat a half backed veto just isn't serious.

There are fundamental problems with our relationship with Europe. One of the key ones is other European countries lie and cheat openly - flouting the law and treaties they have signed. This is not the sort of organisation that the UK can share its sovereignty with.

Politically there needs to be one clear objective - the return of the pooled sovereignty from Brussels and a set of bilateral treaties in its place which are government by world courts.

Now I know there are lots of people in the Conservative party who believe this - its just this isn't Conservative party policy and is very unlikely to become so.

The Eurosceptic movement has a very long and bloody battle ahead of it that may last life times.

Given this time scale decisions on political allegiance don't have to be limited to who would win the next election, but to who might deliver the ultimate goal.

Update: That didn't take long, Benedict Brogan is forecasting that Cosnervtaive MPs are about to be sold short to save the Coalition.

The anti-free speech EU puts its jackboot down

The EU has a thing about blogs, or rather sources of information it doesn't control or isn't able to bribe. The new solution is intimidation, hence UKIPs press officer in the European Parliament is not allowed to blog.

What are they so scared of ?

If you outraged by this then post a blog linking to Mr Towler's post, so it gets the highest google ranking possible.

A summary of the issue is at the EU Referendum blog ( because who knows how long it will be before the jackboots are at Mr Towler's door again demanding the end of free speech and the eleimiation of his blog archives ).

Dustin to tell EU to **** off

Not that they will accept that answer....

Its freedom - or the lack of it again.

Update: As expected the EU is going to carry on anyway. They will learn their lesson from this - never allow any people to be asked again. Gordon Brown isn't going to let the will of the people, any people get in the way of his personal career. The same can be said of the EU.
