Bill Cash @ ConservativeHome: "This is a historic turning point both for country and for the Conservative Party. The dream of ever closer union has failed and the root of this trouble is the fantasy world of trying to create economic and political union amongst so many diverse countries with diverse cultures and different democratic traditions." Please read the post here.
The more I think about this and the more I look at the TV of the Get-together, the more I start questioning the whole.
Why am I not convinced all is not quite as it looks re Mr Cameron’s using his VETO? Firstly the back benchers plus Boris is convinced Mr Cameron has ‘done a Blinder’-what ever that means and the back benchers feel they have at last been listened to. Yet Mr Clegg it now turns out, was “included in the loop” as regards the ‘possible forthcoming VETO, did Mr Cameron leave the room to ask Mr Clegg? I certainly do not know. Would Mr Clegg not have agreed to if there had not been something for himself and his Party at the end of it. So, there just HAD to be some-thing else.
There was also too many ‘back slapping’ for Mr Cameron, too many smiling faces, or didn’t anyone else notice?
What has happened since he used his VETO? The rest are now going ahead with what they wanted to do anyway, and far better for them than what was proposed originally. Mr Cameron’s Vote “NO” was exactly what those at the top table seemed to want, wasn’t it? They could then turn to the much wanted ESM Treaty. Have you READ that Treaty? Signed quite some time ago now, just ready and waiting to come into use, wasn’t it?
I am still left with the fact, in spite of what Mr Cameron has done, the Localism Bill was done and dusted and it is ready to use in exactly the way the EU wants it to be used, direct control over the citizens in the EU Regions of what used to be a Nation of the English in a Country called ENGLAND. The Localism Act is now playing its dreadful part all on behalf of the European Union. Scotland was already classed as an EU Region, as is Wales, Northern Ireland and LONDON, the latter EU London Region, exactly where the Financial Services are based.
The Treaty we now find out, is the ESM Treaty. Isn’t all this exactly what the “back Benchers” wanted? Come on, when did you ever get what you wanted so easily before.
I remember dear George Formby, “Turned out nice again!”
Although Mr Cameron has not signed up along with the rest allegedy to protect our Financial Services, I ask you to look carefully at the Localism Bill that is going through Parliament at present. I would have thought if protection of our Financial Services is uppermost in his mind it should become most important that he abandons the EU’s Localism Bill that he is putting through at present.
The Localism Bill affects England only by dividing ENGLAND up into EU Regions. Scotland is already classed as an EU Region according to the EU, as is Wales and Northern Ireland and also LONDON exactly where the Financial Services is situated. I repeat, The EU through its Committee of the Regions will have direct access to ALL ITS REGIONS. Please look again.
This Localism Bill (aka Mr Camerons’ Big Society) would allow the EU’s Committee of the Regions to directly govern the whole of this Country through its EU Regions for the whole of the UK, ALL on behalf of the European Union. This is exactly what the Localism Bill is all about, it is not solely about decentralisation. The Localism Bill needs to be abandoned right away. (If we were not in the EU, it would indeed be a great idea.) EU Fines” to these EU Regions may come thick and fast too.
