We're stuck inside the EU's prison walls. We remain " EU Citizens ",even though we were never asked if we wanted to become EU citizens in the first place let alone asked to make a decision about it.

The creation of  EU Citizenship opened up the Road to Sedition upon which the UK is journeying.
I originally posted this on February 21 2017 -And So It Goes...#849 :-

The trouble with people who suffer from paranoid delusions is that, clearly there might well indeed be someone out to get them. But not right now.

Various cities across  Britain were ,on Monday 20 February once again awash with the flotsam and jetsam of placard waving detritus. Yes, exactly the same shills out earning their CIA funded stipend who were placard waving and reciting platitudes with all the fervour of a papist penitent the previous week,were out metaphorically flagellating their own consciences yet again.

#stoptrump was supposed to be the catechism,although as the seemingly interminable hours of faux-rhetoric and student common room sedition passed, all manner of vituperative hyperbole ended up getting spouted and placards waved at it.

#Brexit was a popular target along with plaintive invocations against racism, islamophobia and the recently rediscovered complaint of xenophobia. The most bizarre rant amongst such a crowded field of idiolect terminology was the now trending and therefore fashionable lamentation involving the fate of EU citizens working and sojourning within the borders of the UK.

  For those who genuinely haven’t the foggiest notion as to how the world came to have such a thing as an ” EU citizen “,it maybe worth noting how this quasi-legal abortion came into existence. Via the 1992 Maastricht treaty as it happens. Which is :-

The Maastricht Treaty (formally, the Treaty on European Union or TEU) undertaken to integrate Europe was signed on 7 February 1992 by the members of the European Community in Maastricht, Netherlands.^[1] On 9–10 December 1991, the same city hosted the European Councilwhich drafted the treaty.^[2] Upon its entry into force on 1 November 1993 during the Delors Commission,^[3] it created the European Union and led to the creation of the single European currency, the euro. The Maastricht Treaty has been amended by the treaties of Amsterdam, Nice andLisbon.

 

A referendum was expected to take place in the United Kingdom in 2006 to decide whether the country should ratify the proposed Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe. However, following the rejection of the Constitution by similar referendums in France in May 2005 and the Netherlands in June 2005, the UK vote was postponed indefinitely.

The question was rendered moot when the constitution was superseded by the Treaty of Lisbon, which Parliament ratified in 2008 without holding a referendum.

 POSTSCRIPT

And here we are 2 years on, the bogus #The3Million aka #PeoplesVote aka EU funded seditionists spearheaded by Labour have actually won!

The Anatomy of Theft.

As the Brexit pantomime draws to a close and the metropolitan elites' political class begin to put away their cardboard swords,only the empirical facts are left standing.

The peoples of Great Britain have been bled white and their country has been turned into a motel for the otherwise feckless millions of eastern europe /balkans rustbelt economic locusts.

I can hardly believe that this is only my fourth blog posting of the new year.True,there is indeed buggerall fresh,exciting or new to blog about Brexit and the betrayal thereof on the one hand and the Syrian imbroglio on the other,just about suck the oxygen out of any other topic for debate.

The EUropean Tyranny is an engine of Austerity.The same one that the denizens of Wall Street amongst others engineered back in 2007/08 with their contrived banking "crisis". The EU's specious" Four Freedoms " including ,as its centrepiece the " freedom of movement for labour " throughout the 28 satrapies is an intrinsic and necessary component to keep the Globalist/Usurer Engine of Austerity running. Cheap labour on tap ( as the BBC radio 5 Live's early morning " Wake up to Money " so succinctly put it.) is the neoliberal crony- corporate capitalist wetdream realised.

The UK's national GDP is still below the level it was at going into the 2007/08 financial meltdown and 10 years on shows no signs of hurdling back over that high water mark. Wages growth for the last decade in the UK is at a mind numbing 200 year low.

Not that the progressive,non-Conservatives array of parties in Parliament then join up the dots and conclude that freed from the shackles of an authoritarian technocratic anti-populist EU , UK workers might experience living in a somewhat freer market economy where there is actual wages growth linked to increased consumption and especially a more advantageous relationship of available labour to the number of vacancies which favours labour over capital for once.

And so they all together with a huge chunk of the Tory party have connived and contrived and bloody well succeeded in destroying yet another vestige of democracy by trashing Brexit.

And March 29th is getting ever nearer.

On December 11th, the House of Commons - 650 itinerant Westminster careerist bench-warmers get to vote on what is being characterised as " The Deal " ; the interim arrangements for transitioning the UK out of the EU.

The Grand Guignol of a Pantomime that has been " Brexit " is drawing on its last breaths ,the sham of Leaving the EU is itself drawing to a close.

The faux- protagonists of Remain and Leave are coming to the end of their carefully prepared playscript ,all utterly facile,flimsy caricatures that calling them men of straw would imbue them with the unearned deference of regarding any of them with even being remotely human let alone plausible in anything they ever did  or said.

Theresa May, is however idiosyncratically providing the bemused,baffled and befuddled Electorate with her own farewell Cadenza. A whistle-stop tour across the country to galvanise public opinion onto her side ahead of the HoC vote.

History shall view the name of Theresa May as merely providing the dot above the letter " i " in the word shit.A name that annotates the darkest and most egregious betrayal of the British People and the once inviolable sovereignty of our Nation.

The metropolitan elites and their lackeys of the political class have carried out an act of such heinous treason that it will live on in the annals of infamy forever.

After this,the Deluge.

A Lamentation Upon Brexit & How We Were All Betrayed

 

( With apologies to Simon & Garfunkel )

 

I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest....

And he carries the reminders

Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains...

 

 

The European Union already in its previous guises ( EEC, EC ) had only one aim;to take down the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.And along it with all our Historic legacy,culture and society.

 

The globalist/multiculturalist PC metropolitan elites hijacked,( were allowed to hijack?) the EURef Leave Campaign which was necessary in order for them to ensure that the EU achieved that goal.

 

Bear that in mind when you come over all fuzzy and want to start trusting them again sometime in the future.

Not that we have one any longer.

In an excellent article  New Statesman published 19 September Jonathan Rutherford examines the decline of the Labour Party.

This gleaned from his introduction:-

" The future of British politics will be about the nation state of England, the union of our four nations, and their democratic and economic renewal. It will be about the renascence of the everyday life of work and family. Yet the problem for the left is its domination by an older political generation that lost faith in the idea of the nation, is sceptical about the future of work and doesn’t seem to believe in the family.
Throughout its history, the Labour Party has embodied the paradox of being both radical and conservative, and so it has played a vital role both in maintaining the traditions of the country and shaping its modernity. These dispositions are not party political. They are qualities of mind and character that are woven into the fabric of our English culture. In the words of John Stuart Mill, one demands the uprooting of existing institutions and creeds; the other demands that they be made a reality. One presses new ideas to their utmost consequences; the other reasserts the best meaning and purposes of the old. England’s paradoxical nature is embedded in our constitutional settlement. "

Well,thanks for that Jonathan.As you can see from social media and MSM ,it's all gone spectacularly tits up,again.

#labconf2018 was so brim full of otiose cant and vacuous platitudes, plans that will never be implemented and policies that will never see light of day,it's difficult to discern what is truly important.Though on this occasion, the in-roads made by the EU funded #PeoplesVote campaign is clearly the most insidious of all the aspiring ne'er do wells.

Keir Starmer ,metropolitan elitist shyster extraordinaire,went off piste in his Peoples Vote speech in the conference main hall to stake his claim to the Labour leadership,whose throne many feel might become vacant sooner rather than later.

Fellow metropolitan MP David Lammy,norf landan paranoid conspiracy theorist nonpareil, also staked his claim to the forthcoming leadership vacancy during an address outside at a Peoples Vote outdoor meeting where Tottenham's finest out-hyperbolised Starmer.

Yet another metropolitan MP,Chuka Umunna ,who is a person of "Collar " is also in the Peoples Vote triumvirate of putative next demagogue to lead Labour contest.

Len McCluskey ,UNITE union general secretary who on a 12% membership turnout to elect the union's next general secretary garnered  less than 50% on a 3 way split ballot. The point with Len is that he told  shyster Keir Starmer off for going off piste and saying that the option to Remain in the EU will be on the referendum ballot should Labour get into power and seek to reverse Brexit.

Which underscores, even for the lame of mind and dull of wit the scale of the imbroglio Labour have ineluctably been drawn into.

Virtually all Trades Union leaderships had committed their respective memberships to supporting Remain in the 2016 EURef and to providing the door step canvassing cannon fodder that is the mainstay and lifeblood of all MPs parliamentary sinecures.

It largely didn't work out that way in practice on the ground.Some 70% of  parliamentary constituencies with Labour MPs voted Leave. Which totally buggered everything up for the smug,condescending,PC metropolitan elitist political class.

So another conference ends for one moribund,no longer fit for purpose major parliamentary party and another one,the Conservatives is about to begin.

They both need to implode existentially and sooner rather than later. They are both historic corpses the malodorous stench of which will only get worse the longer they remain unburied.

Their gravediggers are getting impatient.
