Vote Leave or just give up on the United Kingdom

Been a bit busy of late doing what they call the ground war in politics.

But I can't let the referendum date pass without saying I will vote Leave and I strongly recommend you do also.

In the absence of much time ( I have to be up in a few hours to start the final fight I leave you with Toby - above ).

Don't succumb to the Fear - let hope win and we can all be free again.

Vote Leave

The Tory Eurosceptics need to raise their game and perhaps be more collegate

Well today didn't go well.

Cameron, who no doubt has a media board full of announcements and fear inducing lies and smears, has dominated his former friends today.

Gove made a school boy error in attacking the legality of the no entity deal Cameron claims has changed everything and we all know isn't worth the paper its written on.

Who cares if it gets implemented - its useless anyway ! Its purpose is to distract the debate from the EU superstate supporters weak points.

Gove might be technically right - but we already know the anti-UK campaign will just lie to the camera and microphone. They don't care and have no moral compass . What he's done is make a worthless deal look like something worth arguing the technicalities of.

The underlying problem is that those who have been loyal to the government till recently need to understand it plans to destroy them and our country.

Its time to tool up and start stabbing at the heart of the EU superstate campaign.

The Tory eurosceptic minister need a bit of humility and to tie in with the Leave campaign. They could do a good start by forcing The Leave campaign to talk seriously to all the others.

This will be a mortal wound the Conservative party

Well that went badly in many ways. Lets rub the salt in and count them:

H/T Matthew Headford‎ Bruges Group

1) Dave asked for little and got back less, yet he wants us to believe the lie that this amounts to something. We all know he's lying - even the loyal EU supporters know this. Anyone who claims this amounts to anything is just making themselves look stupid.
2) What the EU offered was humiliating - especially as the meagre concessions were all phrased in a way that makes EU sovereignty supreme. No more vetoes for you former proud independent free nation.
3) #CallMeDave is having to call in all the favours and apply maximum career pressure. The sight of MPs Conservative party members thought they could trust being turned one by one like Gove, Hammond, May and Pritchard makes in quite clear the Conservative party itself is no longer trust worthy. Dave may be patting himself on the back for having survived his commons appearance, but the Conservative party membership will want blood.
4) And what if #CastIronDave wins ? There will be  party leadership at war with its membership that will never forgive it ( knifing Mrs T will look like a Sunday school picnic in comparison ). Every European court over ruling, forced increase in funding etc will sting.
5) Did someone say treaty change ? Rumour has it there more of this stuff on the way in 2017 - remember CallMeDave thought having a bill that requires a referendum each time would be a wizard ruse a few years ago. We could all be back doing this again within the year.

In the end all this does is confirm to me I did the right thing leaving the Conservative party and joining UKIP.

What the number of UKIP peers appointed tells you about Cameron if you are still a Conservative

Natural justice required that a number of UKIP peers be appointed , along with the other opposition peers.

Remember David Cameron's clearly false protestations about only wanting a pre-election debate if the Greens were invited. Suddenly its all naked power politics and no principle.

Well if you have been a Conservative and you are one of those who is still labouring under the delusion that David Cameron is actually 'negotiating' on the EU for 'a better deal' then there just no place to hide from your naked gullibility.

The man's a rat- the the new peers list shows it quite clearly.

The Conservative party is lost and quite frankly those who still are members who don't support the EU superstate project and wilfully deceiving themselves.

PS Back from my Summer break.

The UK and the EU - we have history

This program on the EU is worth a watch,even though its 10 years old, for the history of some of our relationship with the EU. ( H/T to Peter Hitchens who both presents the prog and reminded us of it on his blog here ).


Now if I can only work out how to get the kids to watch it  ....

So what is Cameron up to fixing the referendum by abolishing Purdah ?

With David Cameron you always need to watch what he's up to. He's spending a lot of political capital over turning the rule of keeping government announcements out of pre election periods.

So what's up ?

Is it really true that we can't function without it ? That is certainly the line Cameron is trying to push.

Or could it be that if the opinion polls show the rule by the EU side close to losing Cameron wants the option of emergency bias and propaganda to prevent the UK regaining its sovereignty ?

Perhaps there is something in EU law that forbids Purdah anyway - and Cameron just doesn't want this.

It extraordinary, exceptional and highly suspicious.

Further

The Telegraph reports that " For their part, ministers argue that purdah is “unworkable and inappropriate”; they are concerned that it will cause problems because of the volume of day-to-day business that involves the EU."

So its turns out we can't run the country as the EU is so totally infested into our government for 28 days ...

That's quite an admission to the debate is it not ?

In response to Tim Stanley and the Conservative hand ringers

 In response to an article by Tim Stanley in the Telegraph 11th June 2015

I hear a lot of this UKIP can't be allowed stuff ( from CCHQ friendly journalists especially ). The alternative seems to be the trust Cameron idea that tame Conservative Eurosceptics have swallowed with a sudden outbreak of Stockholm syndrome.

Well here's the thing - almost by definition no one in UKIP trusts David Cameron, now or ever again. Its just a fact that Conservative Outers ( not the same as fair weather Euroscepticism with half an eye on their careers ) need to accept.

Writing articles saying "UKIP must ..." is really writing propaganda for the Yes campaign - because frankly if we trusted the Conservative or Labour parties then many of us would still be in them.

There needs to be a start - and it will be made by those who turn out and turn up.

Many UKIP members like myself would welcome those from all or any political party who want a sovereign and democratic country restored. Those who have to wait to see which way the wind is blowing and the fine detail of the renegotiation frankly aren't going to be much use to anyone.

The train is leaving - get on and join in and stop whining.

Will Cameron resign ?

Of the UK votes to restore democracy and the rule of our own laws will David Cameron then resign as prime minister ?

I ask as it's implied in his collective responsibility bullying of the payroll vote.

1st Sept - coming ready or not

I've been speaking to a number of Conservatives in my local area and I get a common reply to the question - "Right the referendum campaign is about to get going - are you ready to join the Brexit campaign ?"

The reply is ( and I paraphrase a bit )  "We need to see what Cameron negotiates".

Today we had that officially from those who badge themselves as Tory Euro sceptics in Parliament.

There may well be tactical calculations here - principled ones based on getting the best deal on both sides of the ballot - and self interested ones ( Cameron & the modernisers are in power for probably 10 years - and anyone who crosses them can expect their career to be over as far as the Conservative party goes. They will eventually allow some freedom of conscience - but that will come with a career destroying price ).

In the mean time a meme has been put out by the CCHQ broadcast organisation ( Daily telegraph, Spectator, Daily Mail, City AM etc ) that a wider Euroscpetic campaign is needed and that only 13% voted for UKIP ( they don't qualify the when as it immediately begs the counter point of who won the European elections ).

The Tories, and behind them Cameron, want to stop the Brexit campaign from starting, determine the terms and out spend that campaign by millions upon millions of pounds with the whole resources of government being allowed to campaign against UK sovereignty.

Well UKIP won't be falling for it.

Its already clear that the referendum won't be fair or balanced. Its becoming worrying that those who once flaunted their Eurosceptic credentials and told us there's no need for UKIP as they have it covered are now saying they might vote against the UK in the referendum.

Well it would have been nice to have a wide range of interests and parties with the common cause of restoring our sovereignty, rule of law, and freedom - but we're not waiting.

The Brexit ( Cameron rebadged as No ) campaign starts 1st Sept.

Its time to stand up and to be counted.

The economy and business should be secondary to democracy and freedom

The campaign by the vested interests has already started. Those who find the European Union a convenient mechanism to control nations have ensured that a regular drip of big business will leave if the UK leave the EU stories are in the media every day. ( Its catnip to the BBC of course. )

But hold on a minute - whilst the pro-UK side could argue about the economy ( and there's a very good argument to be had ) - the starting point needs to be democracy and sovereignty.

Thanks to the EU Constitution Lisbon Treaty qualified majority voting is ensures that it doesn't matter how you vote or what government you elect - the laws will be the same.

We have been democratically  lobotomised.

The starting point of the EU referendum should be why should we hand our sovereinty over?

Irretrievable defeat for a generation is starring us in the face

This has been one of my last blogged about general elections since I started blogging.

The reason is I've been much more closely involved in this one, to the extent that a lot of what has gone on via the media has passed me by. I've been involved in what seems to know be called the ground war.

I can confirm from conversations with voters that the Conservative use of the SNP was very effective, though the cost looks like being the Union. Of I hadn't left the Conservatives a few years ago I would have then. ( If you are still in the Conservative party I suggest you need to reflect on why it places the careers of a few trustafarians ahead of the nation. )

UKIP up 9.8% of the vote, the Conservatives only 0.8% , the policy of targeting 3 way marginals misfired die to the incredible media bias and the sacrifice the nation for victory Conservative strategy.

All well and good, but now we have recent events in UKIP. Many of us watching don't know what is fully going on. We can't trust the MSM who are in ecstasy over events are are rubbing as much salt into the wounds as it can.

Both apparent sides have issues, but they have also backed each other into a corner where one side will lose. And that lose can potentially be enough to cut UKIP's hamstrings .

On the verge of the referendum, which is a once in a political lifetime event. Cameron has gambled with two referendums and will fancy his chances now - regardless of what placebo concessions he tries to claim make a significant change.

This Mexican standoff need to end with one or both sides putting the cause of freedom ahead of whatever personal consequences they fear in backing down.

The alternative is the end of any hope of a sovereign United Kingdom.

Be prepared for a snap referendum on the EU

The Lib Dems are flying a kite on approving an return to sovereignty referendum ( which of course by definition means being outside the EU ).

Now they have form in this area, a lot of form. There aren't many positions the Lib Dems haven't tried out on the EU Referendum over the last 5 years.

However, if the establishment isn't reassured that UKIP are going to go away soon then they will want to fire of the referendum prematurely to try to shot the UKIP fox - before UKIP becomes established as a party that represents other subjects that the political class would rather voters didn't bother them with.

In short we need to prepare for an early referendum.

After all who will have Labour, the Lib Dems canvassing info available ? You can bet that the very influential Tory Europhiles will prevent the Conservative party machine being allowed to campaign for the United Kingdom.

Only UKIP will be unified and a natural rally point for the Yes to UK Sovereignty cmapaign.

Today was all about David Cameron and his career

The problem with con men is you fall for their patter, in some ways because you want to.

David Cameron delivered his pull out from the EPP referendum gambit today.

The odds are he'll never be called on the offer. Clegg has been quite clear the Lib Dems would have none of it ( despite be committed to their Real Refrendum ). And the truth is only a small number of Conservtaive MPs would need to rebel to stop it. Is anyone expecting a Conservtiave landslide in 2015 ? Thought not. So it won't happen.

Something Cameron is calculating upon, because this talk of referendum is all about shooting what Cameron thinks is UKIPs fox ( the only type of fox hunting with press hounds still legal ).

The problem with this gambit are as follows:

1. No one trusts Cameron any more - not after the caste Iron Guarantee.
2. Cameron's real problem with the country is his insane demand to redefine marriage, not an EU referendum. UKIP poll surge really got going when he started to tell everyone marriage is over and he and his metropolitan chums have a new definition of something quite different in mind.
3. He has light the blue touch papaer for a Conservtaive implosion - because when they fail to deliver the referendum those who are to the right of Nick Clegg will realise they have to leave.

Still maybe Cameron gets to be PM for a few more years in a second term Coalition govt, and that's all he really cares about.

The sooner those on the right of the Conservtaive party face up to this the better for everyone.

PS Cameron in true form deceiving the electorate in a party political broadcast. See the condemnation of him from Fraser Nelson in the Coffee House blog here.

My guess on Cameron's latest EU tease

What you need to remember with David Cameron is that he has default techniques for dealing with problems.

His standard approach to things he is going to be forced to do ( by the Lib Dems, EU, Sam & the right of his party ) is to PREEMPT.

He is especially keen on this approach when his hand is being forced by an unpopular organisation like the EU. ( Examples ? Pledging to leave EPP group, the pasty tax and the Lib Dems anti marriage plan to end its meaning ).

Just over a day or so we heard there would be no UK powers transferred with the next step to the oligarchical super state that is to replace democracy in Europe ( they of course give it another name ).

Now we hear a referendum of some sort is on the cards - what is he preempting ?

Clearly he's been told the EU must be given more of our sovereignty and democracy and he trying the usual PR tricks to "handle it".

The wets/modernisers will spike the EU referendum

There's a growing amount of excitement about the prospect of the political class giving in on the idea of a referendum on the UK's independence from the EU. Guido hints playfully that Labour might change their position to make life impossible for Dave.

But don't expect a fair fight, the wets and modernisers will spike the guns of the referendum before the campaign starts.

As the alternative Queen's speech on Conservative home hints the wets and modernisers have many tricks up their sleeves to keep the UK as a trophy for their Brussels masters. The Referendum on renegotiation is just the start of their creativity.

Any referendum in the current climate, especially one suggesting change is most likely to fail. Make it appear to be all about Angles dancing on the heads of euro-pins and the contempt from the public will be nuclear.

The political class know this and I think we can safely expect them to exploit it.

So we may finally get our referendum, but we won't like the question and we will like the answer even less.

Its going to be a much tougher and long term fight to liberate the UK from the EU than just a vote on a single day.

A new home for the EU Referendum blog

I just noticed that the independently minded EU Referendum blog has moved house to http://www.eureferendum.com/ - worried by some of the changes made by Google with blogspot.

Personally I can see their point - though I'm having one of those has this run its course type reflections right now that stops me making further effort in that sort on line.

Still if your a fan put a post linking to the new sight and lets get Dr North & co's Google rankings back where they belong, if you excuse the irony.

David Cameron must have a very low opinion of the voters

This "I'll veto any treaty not in Britain's interests" thing is fooling no one David. We can all see your spin on the betrayal of UK interests.

If not then can I suggest the following moves:

Unilateral withdrawal from the Common Fisheries policy and Common Agricultural policy might convince us of your good faith ( breaking treaties seems easy for the Euro countries for whom the law is just their flexible friend ).

We recognise weasel words when we hear them and only accept actions now - after 13 years of Blair & Brown ( and not a little Clegg and the two face lying Lib Dems who admitted to the US Embassy how their position kept changing to avoid letting the people vote ).

I was planning on taking some time to think about my political future, but I wonder if I really need it.

A vote to break up the UK but not leave the EU - come on Mr Cameron !

So when the SNP won the Scottish election Mr Cameron was quick to let it be known that a referendum on Scottish Independence would be allowed.

He also promised a referendum on Lisbon but then used an excuse to get out of it.

How come the UK can be dismantled by referendum, but can't become sovereign again with one Mr Cameron ?

( I'm afraid the answer really lies in how we are governed, and how those who govern us think they can just dismiss our opinions and wishes. )
