ARTICLE SUMMARY

Lisbon is a hammer blow to freedom and democracy

IT IS a dark day for British democracy.

LISBON IS A HAMMER BLOW TO FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY

05.11.09, 1:34am

There are reputedly four cases before the Irish supreme court: These cases are asserting that the Irish referendum was rigged. There is good evidence for these assertions, including Video evidence of a man leaving the count centre with a ballot box.

There were other irregularities too. The ballot boxes were delivered 48 hours early, which is against Irish electoral law. When an official complained he was shut up. The boxes were not even guarded for these two days, leaving them wide open to "stuffing" or whatever gerrymandering or illegal actions were desired.

It would seem Brussels really didn't mean to lose that ballot, and were determined to get their Yes vote by any means.

There is more. A high ranking official at the SFO, a Mr Peter Craig, has opined that given that the EU's' accounts have not been cleared by auditors in the last 14 years, the EU is effectively criminal. When asked whether it is legal or legitimate for Britain to pay Public money to a body that has not passed audit, Mr Craig of the serious Fraud Office said "No" it would criminalise the British Government to pay public funds to the criminal EU.

Yet the Serious Fraud Office refuses to take action. Evidently the judiciary, probably Jack Straw is vetoing that action by the SFO. If not Mr Straw then someone in those circles of influence. Lord Falconer perhaps?

So you see, to get what they want, anything goes. Browns Britain indeed. Perhaps we should drop the title of Prime Minister to the Crown and adopt a more European title: How about Capo di Capo tutti? Fitting do you think?

The conservatives have just lost my vote,and respect.To claim powers back from eu,will be near impossible.The tories love europe as much as labour do.Democracy dies,and germany did win the second world war,but by god we really lost the peace.Our westminster now rings hollow,as the orders come fast and furious from brussels.The man in the mirror,looks like blair but how can this be.Cameron is so scared of raising the tory monolith,europe.He will do anything to secure his position in number 10,including u turns.But he still might be pushed off histories tracks.A no to europe referendum calls,but will he answer.

TRAITORS

04.11.09, 5:37pm

"Yet it is the fault of Gordon Brown, not David Cameron, that our democracy is being dismantled."

All that Gordon Brown has done is bring to fruition a process which began under Edward Heath (Cons) and proceeded under six other Prime Ministers, two of whom were also Tories.

Will David Cameron please denounce Heath, Thatcher, and Major as traitors? Why not?

"..find a way to repatriate some of the powers surrendered during the Labour years."

Oh yeah right. "..er can we please discuss the possibility of re-negotiating the treaty. That nasty Mr Brown and Milliband didnt really speak for the people... er excuse me? yes I do know where the door is. Why?"

More treachery, lies, deceit and broken promises. Cameron and the Tory party are just as corrupt as the present lot. Either the eurosceptics leave and form their own party or the British people will just vote for the parties that will give us a referendum.

Stop the waffle, the dithering, the wishy washy ambiguous statements. The British people deserve better. A simple In or Out referendum.

CAMERON'S WAFFLE

04.11.09, 11:12am

Cameron can do NOTHING.
All his waffle amounts to zilch.
He can NOT get our powers back and he is 'stupid' to say he will stop any further treaties being past without a referendum because there will NOT be any further treaties.
The Lisbon Treaty is SELF-AMENDING and ANY changes will be simply re-amended in the Lisbon Treaty so its bull's droppings that any other treaty will be needed.

He has joined the ranks of liars that have already sold this country (sorry STATE) down the bog.
