ALL PARTY
CAMPAIGN FOR A EU REFERENDUM
by Jane Merrick
Political Correspondent
[Daily Mail-September 6, 2007]
AN all-party coalition of MPs and businessmen will today
launch a nationwide campaign for Gordon Brown to hold a
REFERENDUM
on the
EU CONSTITUTION.
The 'I Want a Referendum'
CRUSADE is the
strongest challenge yet to the Prime Minister's refusal to let the
PEOPLE have their
say on the
BRUSSEL'S POWER-GRAB.
Mps from the three main parties, including former
Ministers have joined forces to put pressure on the Premier to
CHANGE HIS MIND.
A giant ballot box will be unveiled in
WESTMINSTER while
an advert will be shown in cinemas across the country later this month.
Members of the public can sign a petition online at
www.iwantareferendum.com.
The Government has rejected calls for a
NATIONAL VOTE
even though it granted one on the original
EU CONSTITUTION in
Labour's General Election manifesto two years.
[Well since the TRAP has been SPRUNG then NOTHING must
INTERFERE with the SLAVERY of a FREE PEOPLE.]
Ministers claim the new
'REFORM TREATY'
is not the same as the defunct constitution, which was
thrown out by the FRENCH and
DUTCH and therefore does not
merit a
VOTE.
BUT EXPERTS SAY THE TWO DOCUMENTS ARE IN FACT NEARLY
IDENTICAL.
Labour MP
Gisela Stuart, who
was among the
[Each underlined word has a
separate bulletin]
EU GROUP
which drafted the original constitution, said last night:
'This is an issue of TRUST'
'We were elected on the promise of a referendum. If we
care serious about restoring
TRUST IN POLITICS
we have to keep our
PROMISE and
give people a say on this important decision.'
The campaign is chaired by Derek Scott, a former adviser
to Tony Blair and vice-chairman of the
Eurosceptic group
OPEN EUROPE.
Yet many of those calling for a vote are pro-European,
including a number of
TRADE UNIONS.
Insiders claim Downing Street has attempted to
BUY-OFF
union leaders ahead of a planned motion for a
REFERENDUM
at the TUC next week.
The campaign will also hold rallies at the Labour
-Conservative and Liberal Democrat conferences which start later this
month, and meetings in every region of the country.

Are they
Opt-outs or Opt-ins? Dear
Sir, According to the Spanish
Foreign Minister the substance of the
EU "Reform Treaty"
is 98 per
cent
the same as that of the previous
Constitution.
"The wrapping has been changed, but not the content", as
he put it. He could have
added that for the sceptical British electorate there is a special outer
wrapping - a tissue of "red lines" and "opt-outs -most of which
are of dubious legal validity, and all of which are intended to be no
more than temporary concessions.
Once Parliament had ratified the treaty, the "red -lines" would quickly
turn out to have been "red herrings", and the "opt-outs would gradually
turn into "opt-ins". Remove the
double wrapping and apart from its name the
NEW TREATY
is virtually identical to the constitutional treaty
mentioned by the Labour Party manifesto for the last
GENERAL ELECTION
with the unqualified pledge:
"We will put it to the British people in a
REFERENDUM"
The Prime Minister should stop insulting our intelligence
and demeaning his office with this cheap trickery, and agree to give us
the
REFERENDUM WE WERE PROMISED
Dr D R COOPER

How We Lost Control
Dear Sir, A Times'
article on the new EU constitutional treaty (20th August) notes that
"thanks to opt-outs negotiated by Mr
Blair, Britain can ignore justice and home affairs decisions, and will
retain full control over its foreign policy".
Full control of foreign policy was lost the day Britain
entered the EEC [in 1972]. The European Court of Justice ruled that
where an 'internal' policy has been agreed it should have a common
'external' (i.e. foreign) policy to support it. (ref: Case 22/70). Ec
'internal' policies now govern most areas of national life.
The EC has also used creative legislation techniques to
gain control of areas of
JUSTICE and HOME AFFAIRS/
The Citizenship Directive, 2004 would forbid us to ban
Rumanian cash-point fraud gangs from the UK, as mere criminality
IS NOT A BAR
to entry of 'EU citizens',
including outsiders resourceful enough to gain a
residence card.

Origins of the Constitution
Dear Sir, The
origins of this EU Constitution which suddenly is not a constitution go
back further than people think.
The first person we have to thank is an Italian communist, Alberto
Spinelli who from his prison cell in 1941 had a vision of a United
States of Europe, to be assembled over a long period without openly
revealing the end purpose. The
peoples of Europe he planned should not be consulted until a
'constituent assembly' was ready to draw up a "constitution".
The next originator was Jean Monnet, a brandy salesman,
whose idea of a United States of Europe was a new form of supra national
government run by technocrats beyond the control of elected governments,
elected politicians and certainly electorates.
[DOES IT!] BEGIN TO RING THE BELL?
The final mastermind was Paul Henri Spaak, a prime
minister of Belgium who thought up a brilliant way to disguise the
project as only being concerned with economic matters and co-operation,
hence the original "Common Market" under which deceit we joined.
If this "Treaty" is imposed on us these three, venerated
by the EU, will have won. WE
THOUGH WILL FINALLY LOSE THE LAST OF OUR FREEDOM.
DAVID BROWN

From the :
Labour Euro Safeguards Committee
Bulletin, July 2007 The
consequences of traeting the electorate in this way in Britain - and in
other countries too -are extremely unpalatable. A recent poll found that
75 per cent in the UK
- want a referendum on any new
treaty. Universal refusal
everywhere to allow referendums to be held can only confirm the widely
held view that the EU has always been a deeply undemocratic
organisation, as indeed is the case.
Because its founders distrusted democracy, it was
established always to have permanently appointed officials with real
power, and thus with almost no real electoral control over its
activity. The more nakedly
the EU flouts democratic procedures, however, the more alienated its
constituent electorates become, the less consent it generates and the
wider the gap between its political leaders and those they purport to
represent. Now,
unfortunately, the low democratic standards of the EU are infecting its
Member States, including Britain, which has a much longer and better
established tradition of democracy, fairness and accountability than
many of the other EU countries.
IT is hard to believe that, in their hearts of hearts,
more than a small number of MPs genuinely welcome the contents of what
it is called the
AMENDING TREATY.
It is equally hard to believe that
any of those who promised a referendum at the last election genuinely
believe that the proposals now in front of us are so different that all
their election promises about a
REFERENDUM
can be forgotten.
If this is the case, there must
be a very large number of MPs who feel extremely uncomfortable about the
fact that they face the prospect of being dragooned into voting down the
referendum which they publicly committed themselves to supporting.

RISE OF THE SLEAZE-OCRATS
by Peter
Oborne
[Daily Mail- Monday, September 3, 2007]
[ Before we commence the above essay we remind those who
see no significance in the above day that there are millions who are
aware of the date of
3rd SEPTEMBER,1939
is a day they are unlikely to forget being the day of the
declaration of war by the then Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of
Peace in our Time fame and the commencement of the Second World War
by Britain and her Commonwealth. But
in politically correct Britain ,for many years this date cannot be
mentioned as it would remind those who had not been there at that day
that it was a Second World War in which our Nation State had to fight in
the 20th century in order to protect
OUR
FREEDOM AND IDENTITY
but also to help the
countries of EUROPE who had succumbed to TYRANNY to secure their
FREEDOM. Fast track to 2007 and what do we FIND? We are months away from
losing the FREEDOM that led us to WAR on the
3rd
SEPTEMBER,1939.

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
