| PM DAVID CAMERON |
UPDATE: 25 January 2013 - Well, well, well, Brussels really showing its teeth now. They threatening the UK to fine it a £250,000 a day because they haven't applied their full law on gas and electricity. According to the Department of Energy it would make the electricity and gas bills even higher. Or is it another story trying to justify another increase?
If any one still had any doubts about getting out of the EU they surely must change their opinion now. Furthermore, Brussels will also control the press and journalists will be fined heavily if they don't comply with their rules. Well, free press was always the mark of the Western World.
IT
WAS NOTHING BUT A VOTE CATCHING SPEECH AND FULL OF HOLLOW PROMISES.
The long awaited speech of David Cameron was finally
delivered. Yet, there was nothing new in it. Everybody is aware that Mr Cameron
does not want to get out of the EU.
He did make a great point about given the public the
referendum they had been demanded for a long time but it is not the straight
forward IN/OUT referendum. He still wants to sneak in his hopefully newly
achieved condition. He still thinks he can persuade Brussels to give Britain
back certain powers which they took off this country. He couldn’t have heard or
listen to the announcement from Brussels that they will not do anything like that
because otherwise all the other countries will demand changes in their rules as
well.
Even after Merkel quickly reassured David Cameron
that she will try and negotiate on behalf of Britain to change Britain’s mind not
to exit the EU. The point here is that Merkel wants to keep Britain in the EU
for not to lose the contribution and if necessary another bail-out. It is not
only Merkel’s negotiation but the other 28 countries have also to agree. This
makes it most unlikely. Furthermore, Merkel knows if Britain exits the EU
others will follow.
However, whether Merkel, David Cameron or Mr Obama
want to keep Britain in the EU or not it is the people who should have given
the opportunity for a long time to decide.
The Conservative promised to give an IN/OUT referendum in their last
election manifesto but as all their other promises it was not kept. It was
promised again for March 2011 but again nothing happen.
The public elects a party to govern the country but
it is the public’s wishes the leader supposed to carry out. It is wrong that
David Cameron thinks Britain should be kept in the EU and therefore ignores the
people’s wishes.
The speech today was a waste of ink, paper and time.
The people knew his attention already and to tangle a carrot in front of the public’s
noses about an in/out referendum but also with some included decision of new
regulations and after the next election was all totally unsatisfactory. The public is not that naïve any more when is
David Cameron delivering a speech with concrete facts and stands by it?
People wanted an in/out referendum now and not after
he signed another treaty soon for the next seven years. Brussels interfered
enough with the Law and justice which cost a fortune on legal aid and benefit;
with the fishery to throw dead fish overboard because it was already over the
quota; to give French fishermen the right to fish in British waters; having to
pay Child benefit for children not even living in Britain; fruit having to be
unformed seizes and tonnes of fruit being wasted; and many more other crazy
ideas and made law but the best is yet to come. Brussels plans to control the
press and journalists will be find if they step over the rules.
BRITAIN
GETS ALL THAT FOR ITS EU MEMBERSHIP WHICH COST A FORTUNE AT A TIME WHEN
FAMILIES HAVING TO GO TO FOOD BANKS TO SURVIVE.
The
people want out of it and at the same time want to save the money since Britain
is in an economic recession and yet David Cameron refuses. This policy does not make sense.
WHAT
IS REALLY GOING ON?
If we had the billions we have given to the EU, we could invest in our own country, our people, businesses and farmers to manufacture, grow and supply everything we need and export the rest. Who cares if the EU don't want to trade with us? We'll trade with our old trading partners and find new ones. Once upon a time a "Made in Britain" label was sought after the world over. (As was "Made in Ireland" as in, say, the world-famous Waterford Glass Company. When Waterford Glass started farming the glass-making out to China and Poland (where it could be made cheaper but still sold at the eye-watering prices they charged, meaning bigger profits), buyers seeing the "Made in China" and "Made in Poland" labels on their glass pieces returned them in droves. People buying Waterford Glass wanted "Made in Waterford" on it - that was the whole point of it surely?! Result: Waterford Glass folded, serves them right, but not the thousands of Irish people who lost their jobs because of the company's greed.)
ReplyDeleteBack to the EU: we're going to be held over a barrel by this lot who haven't published their accounts for over 10 years? That alone is enough to make your blood boil!
Thank you for your visit and I am glad to read a sensible comment. I am hopping mad about the wastage of money and families in Britain have to rely on food banks. The very fact that food banks exists again is a crime. Re Waterford and all the other great names which were the envy of the world were destroyed because the fatcats wanted more profit. It was criminal and they should have been prosecuted but oh no they got fat pay offs and pensions. The sooner they get out of the EU the better and that goes for all the countries. It is nothing but creaming off and rules which feel like coming out of a luna bin.
