non partisan comment on the European Union and Westminster politics

 

Sir 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 the EU..

“The world’s largest economy with a stable common currency and a successful single market is, he rightly argues, bound to pursue policies that conflict with the interests of the US.

That makes the two “superpowers” competitors but not enemies. It also means that “core Europe” - the Franco-German alliance which Britain should join and make into a troika - is certain to lead the way towards distinctive defence and foreign policies”.

OK so far if you agree with the EU which the Professor obviously does, but then Lord Hattersley comments.

“Only people who share the Bush belief that America has a divine right to global supremacy can complain about that”.

No Sir Roy, people who live in an EU state who voted for a trading block in 1972, and have since then had the rest of the EU foisted on them, without the chance to have a say would these people would also object to that.

It is oh so, common among Europhiles to make bland statements to support their cause which defines the opposition as something it is not, we see this all the time in all sorts of ways, put up an argument subscribe it to the EUsceptic and then demolish or belittle it.

So those of us who do not want to join the Euro, do not want to give up our power to protect ourselves, and want to retain the rights enshrined in our Constitution to elect and reject our government, and can see the real dangers in this undemocratic EU. We are all only taking this attitude, because we share the unproven case, that Bush believes America has a divine right to global supremacy. Hog wash Professor and Sir Roy.
