It’s time to get out Europe
Kute Fine Art
If you are like me then you will be sick to the back teeth of hearing about EU bailouts and having seen the disgraceful way in which “just call me Dave” was treated at the big pow-wow last night (26th October) then enough is enough. Let’s get out pronto.
There are many problems with the EU. It is built on the vanity of politicians and unelected officials, drunk on power.If you remember in the beginning this originally was the common market for free trade but it's now become a dinosaur full of money grabbing little Hitlers.
Ted Heath, the Conservative leader at the time, took us into this club to facilitate an easy way of trading with Europe. Since then it has become almost a police state with new rules and regulations appearing nearly every day which affect all of us but we have no say in whether they are implemented.
.
The over-regulation that we hear so many complaints about in this country is a direct result of the basic difference between the origins of law making on the continent and the UK. UK law has historically been "you can do what you like unless we say you can't". European law on the other hand, with origins in the Code Napoleon, is "you can't do it unless we say you can".
.
The current problems in the Euro-zone have certainly been compounded because the politicians/officials decided to ignore the tight fiscal requirements required of membership and allow countries such as Greece into the Euro when there was not a hope in hell that they could meet the requirements. That piece of hubris is now costing Europe billions. The only way the single currency could hope to succeed is with complete political and fiscal integration and nobody wants or in fact wanted that.
.
The continued expansion of the EU has resulted in ever leakier borders, allowing pretty much unchecked migration. This, compounded by human rights legislation applied by an exceeding liberal and out of touch legal system, has led to increasingly creaky welfare systems throughout the EU and heightened racial tensions between "indigenous" and immigrant populations’.
.
The EU is a corrupt and inefficient edifice. Their own auditors have refused to sign off the accounts for many years because the books don't balance. Officials who raise concerns are dismissed and vilified.
Europe has become the dictatorship which so many millions died for during world war two to prevent. The only difference now is that goose stepping is a health and safety issue and the Christian name Adolph isn’t as popular as it used to be.
.
It is a home (and fat pension) for failed politicians who want to assure their place in history with what is known in France as a "Grande Projet". Only those on the gravy train want to remain in Europe.
.
The EU will ultimately fall, as all artificially constructed "empires" throughout history have fallen.
I’m trying to think of who has benefitted from membership. Certainly a raft of under privileged Johnny Foreigners has arrived and got stuck into our generosity. But what about the British?
Just think if we get out now we can – run our own country; employ our own people; catch as much fish as we like; sink the Spanish fishing armada again; sell in pounds and ounces; sell curved cucumbers and bent bananas; get back to m.p.h.; and most of all save a boat load of dough every day.
Then we could get rid of the hated Human rights rubbish which protects the criminals and ignores the victims of crime, allows rapists and murderers to remain in this country and prevents the authorities from sending illegal immigrants back where they belong.
The gravy train for the MEPs and others needs derailing. We can all see the 'career progression' for UK politicians who try and make a name for themselves here while not blotting their reputation with the EU powerhouse. Look at the Kinnocks for example.
How can we stop this, apart from signing another petition for another referendum, and keep the pressure on? We need a true leader to step forward who isn't afraid to challenge the fools we seem to be surrounded with. Mass 'people power' needs to be harnessed positively and led effectively, with a strategy formulated to get the required change peacefully, preferably without any anarchic tendencies. Didn’t the Daily Express start something last year?
