Martin Cole over at ironies has looked at the decision by “The Electoral Commission” to award £100,000.00 to the recently formed Tory backed No group, ignoring the long standing widely based North East Against Regional Assemblies) chaired by Judith Wallace and fronted by Metric Martyr Neil Herron.

I posted yesterday that this is an attempt by Labour to define the argument along party lines, which it thinks will work in favour of the Yes side.

As Mr Cole says “The closer one looks, the more disgraceful the facts appear”.

What are we to make of the funding decision for the North East Regional Assembly referendum on 4th November? The closer one looks, the more disgraceful the facts appear.

Regional Assemblies are creations of the EU. In Britain they were introduced under the John Major Government, presumably under the control and authority of Michael Howard, then Home Secretary and thus responsible for local government. Their effect, whether appointed as at present or elected as proposed, will be to allow the EU to control England without recourse to Westminster. John Prescott likes to imply they are his brainchild and will extend local democracy - neither is correct.

The Electoral Commission is a creation of Tony Blair’s government and its head an appointee of that administration, which among many other defects is the fact that it is renowned for its cronyism. That body yesterday awarded one hundred thousand pounds of taxpayers money to a NO group largely formed and supported by the Conservative Party, the very political unit that created these assemblies and led by the individual almost certainly personally responsible.

Can the British public really believe that this process bears any relationship to a democratic sounding of public opinion? Especially when the vote will be undertaken by a postal ballot declared as unacceptable by the very body that has just handed two hundred thousand pounds to groups none can truly believe are really against the permanent imposition of these EU beholden prefectures.

Ironies: “Stinking politics from the North East”

EU Referendum:

“They need lessons in politics

Specifically, they need lessons in British Constitution. Specifically, they need lessons in British Constitution. No, I am not talking about our unfortunate schoolchildren, who have, for generations, had politicians and officials experimenting on them. We have reached a stage when if any of them manage to be educated it is a miracle.

The people who need lessons in constitutional democracy and the British Constitution are our politicians. Their inability to understand the importance of the proposed EU Constitution is rooted in their ignorance of the British one.

If our elected representatives feel they have full powers to make any laws they wish, ignoring in the process the British Constitution, we then no longer live in a democratic country, but an elected dictatorship.

This in part is the problem with our involvement with the EU under our British Constitution we could not be part of the EU as it is constructed, it would be illegal for any government to sign any treaty which has the effect of undermining our sovereign right to elect our government.

Yet they do this because they do not understand the Constitution which gives them their power. These are the very people who take an oath to defend the Constitution when they take office and may not take office unless they do take that oath.

Our government is intent on totally destroying the British Constitution which according to the Constitution is an illegal act but unless the law lords stand up and make this point, or the Queen stand by her oath given at her coronation, we have no defence against this constitutional vandalism.

I have already made some points about the British Constitution in earlier posts.

It is imperative for Britain to remain a free nation that we do now put a stop to these elected vandals who have the temerity to ignore our own Constitution and by so doing destroy our birthright.

It is ironic that in his post, Dr North suggests that we should study the American Constitution when that fine document was based on the British Constitution in the first place, It seems we have exported English Common Law all over the world but have forgotten it at home.
