Ken on Sep 30th, 2004The Gift of Citizenship

Yesterday I posted a piece below “Not in My Name”with regard to my feelings on the gift if Citizenship bestowed on us all by the EU I did not know where I had originally got the legal information my post contaned.
I have today received an e-mail from Alex Dakers which can be found complete and [...]

Ken on Sep 29th, 2004Not in My Name

Not in my name
I forget where I stole most of this from but do extend my thanks to the person who did most of the work.
The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has forced EU citizenship on me, which is in breach of article 20 (2) of [...]

The Bedouins Camel
When I was small I use to curl up comfortable and warm on my father knee, whilst he would tell me stories, my father was not a particularly moral man, but his stories always had a moral attached somewhere. I do not know this was intentional education on my father’s part, or if [...]

Ken on Sep 28th, 2004More evidence of a stitch up

Neil Herron:
“More evidence of a stitch up
In a telephone call to the North East No Campaign at 2.30pm today the House of Commons Library was enquiring about the written evidence put to the Select Committee on the Regional Assemblies Draft Preparations Bill by the North East Says No Campaign
This may puzzle some people that they [...]

Ken on Sep 28th, 2004So Who Says the EU is not Interested in the Regions?

Regions aim for key role in ‘communicating Europe’ during referendums
That the idea for regions in Britain predates the EU is not in dispute; however the EU has been quick to recognise the potential for an EU made up of regions and not nations states.
This plays in several ways to the integration cause, which is of [...]

Ken on Sep 28th, 2004A Little Local Difficulty

A Little Local Difficulty
Here
I make no apologies for returning to this subject it is a subject of vital national importance. When a commission set up by the government to supposedly act independently have this much power to direct the outcome of a referendum, in a way that supports just one side, we should all [...]

Ken on Sep 28th, 2004Sir Roy part two

“Thirty years ago, we joined a common market that was little more than a free trade area. Foolishly, Ted Heath promised no reduction in national sovereignty - instead of emphasising the strength that comes when sovereignty is pooled. But we all knew that the Zollverein was only the beginning. The free trade area begat a [...]

Ken on Sep 27th, 2004Sir Roy part one

That old Labour warrior Roy Hattersley returned to the scrimmage today in an article written in the Guardian with his views on the inevitability of the EU Super state.
His article is based on the thoughts of Professor Stephen Haseler a leading advocate of a British republic and champion for an EU Super state.
He says on [...]

Ken on Sep 27th, 2004Nanny

A report in the Telegraph today “Restaurant charges ‘confuse customers” caught my eye there was little else worth mentioning, apart from the opening of the Labour fest in Brighton.
The Chancellor Gordon Brown`s determination not to be frozen out, oh and Labour will seek to show it is “reconnecting” with hard-working families by announcing plans for [...]

Ken on Sep 25th, 2004Erudite Moles

The Telegraph today Saturday 25/09/04
Ran three pieces on Sir Stephen Wall, a leading Foreign Office mandarin.
Now he has gone off to work for Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. Sir Stephen feels free to as the Telegraph put it -let rip -with condemnation of Mr Blair for his [...]

Ken on Sep 25th, 2004More on Austin Mitchell

I thought it would be a good idea to revisit some of Austin Mitchell’s claims, as really those claims are at the heart of practically all of our problems with Civil Liberties and the European Union.
The destruction or removal of the British Constitution is in fact not possible in law, the only way that this [...]

Ken on Sep 24th, 2004Regionaliastation of England

There is a massive amount of evidence available to indicate the EU would wish to break up Great Britain into political regions, and gradually allow those regions to take power from Westminster, thus diminishing the British Government even further.
It is quite obvious that if the majority of our laws are made in Brussels, leaving Westminster [...]

Ken on Sep 24th, 2004High Court Writ to be Served on Deputy Prime Minister by No Campaign

Details Here:
The official “as designated by Tony Blair’s Electorial Commission) NESNO conservative backed group is going to post between 25 to 50 posters, good for them. But whilst they let the government get away with stealing the referendum by spending government money to lie to the people.
At least the real “No” campaign is doing something [...]

Ken on Sep 24th, 2004The Heroes Return to Show us the Way

As reported on EU Observer, the outgoing Commission Vice-President Neil Kinnock has joined the board of Britain in Europe ahead of the referendum campaign on the Constitution.
Earlier this week Commissioner for External Relations, Chris Patten, was also reported to have joined the pressure group.
The appointment of two such strong political figures is a sign that [...]

Ken on Sep 24th, 2004Civil Contingencies Bill

I have been sent a copy of an interesting e-mail from AUSTIN MITCHELL MP to a constituent, in which he attempts to rationalize the government’s actions.
“Sorry to be so late in replying to your email about the Bill. I agree that it’s an authoritarian measure though, unfortunately, in line with a lot of other [...]

Ken on Sep 23rd, 2004New boy on the blog

Boris Johnson the Tory MP for Henley is the first Conservative MP to start a blog
http://www.boris-johnson.com/

This is perhaps a step in the right direction of getting direct feedback from the public at large, although I note Boris has not provided us with a comment button, for his articles, perhaps that might [...]

Ken on Sep 23rd, 2004EU Propaganda

Ironies:
Martin Coles at “Ironies” linked above and on the side bar, has gone to the trouble of looking at the EU funding for groups who promote Rationalisation in England. He has listed some of the web sites for these groups, so you can see for yourself what they say, and then make up your own [...]

Ken on Sep 22nd, 2004With Fond Memories of Stephen

With Fond Memories of Stephen
When we talk to others or write about the EU and our thoughts do people understand the basics do we loose them when we start to mention MEP, ECJ, CAP, CFP, and any number of acronyms the EU has wrought. Do we need a different language to get our message through [...]

Ken on Sep 22nd, 2004And Whilst the Tories take a Nap

In an attempt to stem the tide of desertion from the party and undercut the UKIP vote Mr Howard has brought back into his shadow cabinet arch EUsceptic, by Tory standards, John Redwood ,who has started to frighten the moderates with his assertions that if, I mean if, the Tories were returned to power at [...]
