non partisan comment on the European Union and Westminster politics

Ldg Seaman David Kayes, 34, A New Zealander is leaving the Royal Navy after 17 years because he is not prepared to become a British citizen in order to continue working on submarines.

Telegraph

The Ministry of Defence is now demanding that all those 8000 Commonwealth servicemen and women who have served loyally in the British forces, take British citizenship as a test of their loyalty.

We have a historic bond with peoples in far flung parts of this world, a closeness, a feeling of oneness that is not extended to the peoples of Europe, not that there is anything wrong with those peoples it is simply that to the British people a Frenchman is foreign and a New Zealander or Australian are just another type of Englishman. These are the people who have historically left their homes in their thousands to travel halfway across the world to protect Britain, these are the people who have always answered the call in times of Britain’s greatest need.

We allowed a totally disreputable Prime Minister to turn Britain’s back on these people when we joined the European Union in 1972 and now another totally discredited Prime Minister is overseeing the last vestiges of loyalty we owe to these other countries. Just so that we can conform to new laws made by the unelected and unaccountably Eurocrats because European law dictates whom the MoD may hire and that European law forbids us to discriminate in favour of “third country nationals”.

It really makes me ashamed to be British when our world wide brotherhood is being tossed away for the benefit of the dream of a united Europe by some ex-Communists back in the early part of the last century.

The words of one of those brave men an Australian that we shot for political reasons in the Boer War. encompass what is happening in Britain today,

If you encounter any Boers
You really must not loot ‘em!
And if you wish to leave these shores,
For pity’s sake, DON’T SHOOT ‘EM!!
