From beyond the grave -Robin Cook taunts Blair on Iraq.

by

Gordon Tait and Tim Shipman

 

 

[Daily Mail-Tuesday, January 9, 2007]

 

IN LIFE, Robin Cook was the most outspoken Parliamentary critic of Tony Blair's decision to

GO TO WAR IN IRAQ.

 

IN DEATH, he will remain the scourge of the PRIME MINISTER  for EVER.

The HEADSTONE on Mr Cook's grave carries the LEGEND:

 

'I may not have succeeded in halting the war, but I did secure the right of Parliament to decide on war.'

The inscription was chosen by Mr Cook's widow Gaynor and his two sons Peter 32 and Christopher 34, who were keen to find a quote by him which summed up his career as MP and MINISTER.

 

Friends and former colleagues of Mr Cook said the words were a fitting tribute to his memory as a staunch campaigner for Parliament to have the final say over the decision to go to war - something Mr Blair has always OPPOSED.

The quotation echoes the sentiments of Mr Cook's electrifying resignation SPEECH in the COMMONS

-after which dozens of MPs broke with CONVENTION to APPLAUD.

[When TRUST has been LOST in a FIRST MINISTER then A CONVENTION is no longer sacrosanct in HIS HANDS.]

He said: 

From the start of the present crisis, I have insisted, as Leader of the House, on the right of this place to vote on whether Britain should go to war.'

MPs eventually voted 396 to 217 against a motion which declared that the case for war

' has not been established.'

 

But the CAUSE highlighted on Mr Cook's gravestone -to hand Parliament rather than the PRIME MINISTER the FINAL SAY over WAR and PEACE -has gathered pace since his death, to the irritation of Mr Blair.

 

Both Gordon Brown and David Cameron are publicly committed to making it happen and a House of Lords committee last year recommended enshining a vote over the

DECLARATION OF WAR

-into  Parliamentary

 CONVENTION.

The gravestone was recently erected at Grange Cemetary in Edinburgh. It describes Mr Cook as a

'Parliamentarian and Statesman, beloved husband of Gaynor and much -missed father of Chris and Peter'

-before going into the quotation.

It is not the first time that the former MP for Livingston has been the cause of embarrassment to the Prime Minister, since he died of a heart attack while walking on a Scottish mountain with Gaynor, his second wife in August 2005.

Mr Blair attracted huge criticism for failing to cut short his summer holiday to attend the funeral for a man who had been a front-bench colleague for 17 years.

At the service Mr Cook's friend and fellow racing pundit John McCririck accused Mr Blair of 'petty vindictiveness and moral failure' and said he had snubbed Mr Cook's family and millions of Labour voters.

Before he died aged 59, the former Foreign Secretary used his memoirs,

'Point of Departure'

-to reveal that the Prime Minister admitted on the eve of war with Iraq that Saddam Hussein could not assemble weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes -the centrepiece of the

GOVERNMENT'S CASE FOR WAR.

Friends say the quotation on his gravestone comes from the same book and was selected after his family trawled his speeches and writings for a

FITTING TRIBUTE.

The gravestone political statement, unusual in a cemetery, is hard to miss.

The inscription forms the centrepiece of a 5ft 4in plinth and headstone -just two inches shorter than Mr Cook stood himself. His former special adviser David Clark said:

'It is a fitting testimony to what Robin stood for.'

Another family friend said:

'When he died there was a lot of discussion between the family and friends about how to remember him. They wanted to find a quotation from him that summed up his contribution to politics.

'There were several suggestions but it was Gaynor and Robin's two sons who made the final selection. It was a decision of the family to put a quote from Robin on the Headstone.'

Friend and fellow MP peter Kilfoyle, said:

Robin did not think he was going to die because he was in the full flush of his political ascendancy. he was the only member of the Cabinet with the INTEGRITY to resign over the WAR

-and I will never forget that.

It would be a fitting way to recognise Robin's political COURAGE in the future it was taken as read if all decisions TO GO TO WAR

WERE TAKEN BY PARLIAMENT.'

 

Mr Cook was buried in Grange Cemetery at the insistence of his wife Gaynor, who wanted somewhere close to their Edinburgh home so that she could walk to visit him every day.

The cemetery has been full for years and burials are normally granted only if a family member is already interred there. But council officials allowed a part of a grass footpath to be used for Mr Cook's imposing EPITAPH.

by

Daniel Martin

Political Reporter

[Daily Mail-Wednesday, June 18,2008]

MORE THAN HALF of voters believe Britain should drop the controversial European Treaty in the wake of its rejection in last week's

IRISH REFERENDUM'

The poll comes as the Tories launch a last-ditch bid in the

HOUSE of LORDS

today to delay the

RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY.

And

10,000 people

have signed a

PETITION

on the

DOWNING STREET- WEBSITE

So You Want Out Of The EU

 

THEN WHY NOT SIGN THE

RENUNCIATION of EU CITIZENSHIP

 

WHY WE ASK YOUR SUPPORT

When we first saw the petition we reasoned that it had no chance of success from No 10 but we supported it in order to gauge the number of Britons who would publicly put their name to a list which stated that they wished to RENUNCIATE EU CITIZENSHIP and retain only BRITISH.-THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. Some might say that to hide behind a negative premise is both cowardly and playing into the hands of the EU FEDERALISTS.  DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT- Place your vote so ALL can see that YOU CARE. about YOUR COUNTRY and YOUR FREEDOM.

Details from petition creator

With the signing of the Maastricht Treaty the people of Britain were given

DUAL CITIZENSHIP

-both

EUROPEAN and BRITISH

The extra tier of citizenship was thrust upon the people without their consent -and in many cases knowledge.

The PEOPLE of GREAT BRITAIN should be allowed the option of opting out of the EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP if they so wish. The GOVERNMENT will then be able to provide those who have opted out with

BRITISH DOCUMENTATION

-only such as British  (not EU) passports, driving licences and other national documents.

EU laws will also NOT APPLY to those who

HAVE OPTED OUT OF EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP

 

[PETITION OPEN UNTIL OCTOBER 08]
