Christopher Booker in the Telegraph has a section about the restructuring of the British Army into new regiment formations of 1500, men thus destroying the traditional British and Scotish regiments.
Also they are eventually to be equipped with electronically-linked vehicles known collectively as the Future Rapid Effects System (FRES).

The reason we are not being told is because Mr Hoon last April agreed with his European colleagues that the EU should be able to deploy “battle-groups” of 1,500 men in international danger zones. The guiding principle behind Mr Hoon’s controversial restructuring of our Army is to make it compatible with the EU’s new defence force. Furthermore, since the Army will be equipped with FRES, it will no longer be able to work alongside US forces – which are planning a totally different system – but only with fellow members of the EU.

This has been fully discussed in several posts on Eureferendum which details of the likely horrendous costs of the FRES and explains that this system is not even off the drawing board, however it is supposed to up and running in 2 years time.

But the most interesting point Mr Booker makes is that “The Tory front bench was well aware of all this last week, but the word had gone out from their chief defence spokesman, Nicholas Soames, that it was not to be mentioned, because the party does not want the debate on Britain’s defences to become a potentially divisive Euro-row. Thus, without the usual White Paper, our most significant defence policy decisions for decades are taken behind the scenes, for reasons not even Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition is prepared to reveal.”

When our political parties get together in this way and purposefully keep what they are doing a secret behind closed doors, it is clear evidence that none of them are prepared to take a stand for democracy, but like the European Union itself, they will all shout from the rooftops that they have a democratic mandate from the people.

We the people need to remind ourselves that, if there is no choice there can be democracy, and when we have done that, we need to remind those whom we elect to represent our views that we want democracy returned to our government. There is only one way to do that, because they quite obviously will not listen, and that is to vote against any party or any candidate that refuses to openly discus the ramification of Britain’s membership of the EU, because no matter what these cretins would like us to believe without our vote they are nothing.
