I refuse to accept EU justice

The Home Secretary is in Finland today for a meeting with other home affairs and justice ministers from Federal Europe where he will be instructed to give up the UK’s veto on justice.

The vice president of the European Federation’s commission for justice, liberty and security – Franco Frattini – has said that the only way the UK can be safe from terrorism is to allow the federalist crooks in Brussels complete control of our justice system.

Obviously he didn’t use those words.

He says it’s time to put aside our “national jealousies” and allow police, secret services, courts and prosecutors to extend their jurisdiction across the whole of Federal Europe.  Worryingly, he says that this should extend to accusations of racism or xenophobia.

Frattini says that we should trust Federal Europe with our justice system.  He says he things Habea Corpus and trial by jury are great and should be applied elsewhere in Federal Europe … but what about the rest of Federal Europe?  They’re all quite keen on their backwards legal system where you are guilty until proven innocent and can be locked up for years just on the accusation of your next door neighbour if the accusation sounds feasible.  And what about Frattini’s successor?  Will he be of the same opinion?  Doubtful, that wouldn’t further the federal dream.

If we lose the veto then he aims to make it easier for national police forces to exchange information and to consult each others DNA databases.

In a blatant attempt to scare the public into supporting this hideous power grab by the European Federation he explains that “The precondition is, of course, mutual trust,” and “If you say mutual trust doesn’t exist, fine, but in that case terrorists will win.”

There you have it – if we don’t trust the European federalists who want to establish a federal European superstate and impose their inferior and incompatible Napoleonic legal system on us then we’re handing victory to the terrorists.

Here’s my suggestion.  Tell Frattini to go and take a running jump.  Leave the EU immediately and cease all funding.  Repeal any and all EU laws that force us to accept immigrants or asylum seekers – the method that a lot of wannabe terrorists use to get into this country.  Sack Reid, Blair and anyone else responsible for integrating us further into the European Federation and charge them with treason.  When we control our own foreign and domestic policies and our own legal system, then we can deal with would-be terrorists.

And I do declare, That no foreign prince, person, prelate, state, or potentate hath, or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence, or authority ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm.

Trust the EU?  I would rather trust a strapped-up suicide bomber than that bunch of crooks.

Witaj? Telford

Telford & Wrekin Council have produced a welcome pack in Polish and Slovakian for new immigrants into the borough who can’t speak English.

A couple of issues with this.  Firstly, they can’t speak English so why are they here?  Secondly, if they can’t speak English they probably won’t have a job or will be on a very low income.  If they’re unemployed or on a low income they will get benefits.  If they get benefits they probably won’t have to pay council tax.  So why is it a good use of council taxpayers money to create these welcome packs for unemployable economic migrants who take more fromt he local economy than they contribute to it?

Here’s why:

Cllr Ian Baker, Cabinet Member for Community Services, said: “In Telford and Wrekin we benefit from having a rich and diverse community. There are people from many different backgrounds and cultures in the borough and we embrace all those cultures and communities wholeheartedly.

“This work shows how dedicated we are to ensuring people feel as welcome as possible here.”

You’d never have guessed they were a wishy washy multi-culti immigrant hugging Labour council would you?

New Child Seat Law

A new law comes into effect on Monday passed by the British government on the instructions of the European Federation in EU Directive 2003/20/EC.  The law will make it an offence to have a child in your car without a car seat.

There are exceptions – if it’s an emergency, if a third seat won’t fit in the middle of the back seat or if you’re in a taxi.  It will also only apply to children under 11 years of age or 4’6″.

The European Federation says that the ruling has been made to reduce the number of child injuries in car accidents because if a child is sitting in a child seat or on a booster cushion the seatbelt will be in a safer position on the childs body if there were a crash and that would reduce the risk of damaging organs.

Now, I’m all for improving safety, especially where children are involved.  However, I see a problem with this argument and it’s a pretty major flaw.  I don’t know if there’s is that much genetic difference between English kids and kids from the continent but, you see, English kids grow as they get older.  That means that the seatbelt will be in a different place on the childs body throught the 11 years the child will be required to sit in the seat.  I am therefore at a complete loss as to which part of the childs body is “safer”.

Free Advertisments courtesy of Telford & Wrekin

I wrote to Telford & Wrekin Council a couple of weeks ago asking them how much they charge the EU to advertise on Telford road signs.

Under the Town and Country Planning Act, the EU flag is an advertisment.  As well as flying this advertisment from the council HQ, the boundary signs as you enter Telford and the signs around the town centre area feature an EU flag.  This advertisment is, presumably, free of charge yet local businesses have to pay for this premium advertising space.

Here’s what I got today:

Dear Mr Parr

I apologise for the delay in responding to you in this matter but I have sort advice from other departments in the Council on this issue.

I am told that a working group was held with Public Relations and various Members when the Borough became a Unitary Authority who agreed that from a political point of view the EU flag should be put on the signs. The cost of sign production was sponsored by private businesses including Telewest, PSM and Merrythought (costs £30k approx). I also assume that the Borough has benefited from European Regional Development Funding (ERDF) on a number of projects and it is not uncommon on scheme boards associated with projects to display logos of contributors.

I hope this information is satisfactory.

Nice of him to make an effort but it doesn’t actually answer my questions which is kind of pointless.

Nick,

Thanks for getting back to me.

My original query was that the EU flag is an advertisment under the Town & Country Planning Act. I asked how much the council was paid in return for carrying these advertisments on boundary signs and signs around the town centre.

I’m not sure what political reason would justify giving free advertisments to the EU, especially when other companies are paying to advertise on the signs. Surely this puts the council in a difficult position in that they are charging local businesses who are less able to afford advertising but give free advertising to the EU which has a multi-billion pound budget courtesy of the taxpayer.

The signing convention for projects funded by the EU is to put a sign up by the project. I don’t recall the EU having any involvment in building either Telford or the town centre. Are you saying that without putting an advertisment for the EU on every boundary sign that Telford wouldn’t have received funding for any projects? That’s extortion surely? Are there any guidelines or rules on advertising for local authorities? Can I have a copy of any please?

If the EU isn’t going to be charged for its advertisments can I have a free one too?

Germany unveils “trans-national” regions

Germany has unveiled their planned “trans-national” regions which they will propose when they take over the EU presidency in January.  They have also promised to revive the EU Constitution which was rejected in referenda in France and the Netherlands – both pro-EU countries.

The new euroregions will cross national boundaries in an attempt to destroy the borders between member states and foster a European national identity.  A German minister called Wolfgang Tiefensee is quoted as saying “There is the great hope underlying the goal of a United Europe that we can overcome old borders.”  The best map I’ve seen today is, I’m afraid, in the Sun.  Apologies in advance for linking to the gutter press but needs must – The EU’s Mad Map.

Wolfgang, Schieben Sie Ihre Karte auf Ihren Arsch.

EU Constitution poll

A man from Patriotic Poll has contacted me about a poll they have on the EU Constitution.  The question is simple – Should the UK ratify the treaty establishing an EU constitution?  This is the question the British government said they were going to ask us but, as early indications showed the constitution stood about as much chance as a ghost’s fart in a force 10 gale of getting approved, they predictably cancelled the vote.

It’s the wrong type of patriotism for me – British rather than English – but I’m happy to work for the common good.  Click here to vote.
