IT'S YOUR CALL

On every other issue David Cameron is listening to the people and instructing his team to tailor for him policies to that correspond to what people yearn for. Our dreadful terms of membership of the EU and a massive public desire for a

REFERENDUM

-he appears to chicken out. The frighteners seem to have done their job.

In truth he has an opportunity not given to any Tory leader since John Major, helpless puppet of Clarke and Heseltine,

REFUSED us a REFERENDUM

over

MAASTRICHT.  .  .

He would have to face vicious criticism from the forces of defeatism and appeasement.

SO DID CHURCHILL-SO DID THATCHER.

Because they trusted the British people to decide on

THEIR OWN DESTINY.

IT TOOK COURAGE. Will DAVID  CAMERON have that COURAGE?

I HOPE SO

Because I want him to succeed

But no man ever succeeded by running away.

IT IS

BRITAIN or BRUSSELS, DAVID

YOUR COUNTRY-YOUR CHOICE.

*

When Margaret Thatcher came to office in 1979 she did not need to be told because everyone knew it, that the real power in Britain was not vested in the tenant of Downing Street but in the

TRADE UNION SUPREMACY.

Under Harold Wilson, Labour Minister Michael Foot had only one task: to commute from transport House to Downing Street bearing the latest demand of the union barons, which would be immediately conceded.

And the leadership of most unions was extreme left, Marxist-Leninist Trotskyite and pro- Moscow.

Elections to several of the most powerful executive committees had been nakedly rigged and with impunity. Being what they were, the Hard Left owned the workplace, so they owned the economy, so they owned the country.

And finally they were quite prepared to employ the nuclear option if confronted; we had already been made the

SICK MAN OF EUROPE

and endured the

Winter of Discontent.

Cowardly and Defeatist

Mrs T, also inherited the Received Wisdom.  It is the distilled opinion of the Establishment, in the form of the entire civil service. all the party greybeards and much of the private sector at board level. It is virtually without exception

TIMID, COWARDLY, DEFEATIST and APPEASEMENT-DEDICATED.

Thus it was in 1938, in 1980 and still is .

The received wisdom can be summed up in a sentence.

'It is of course utterly deplorable, prime Minister, but alas nothing can be done. Even to attempt to change matters would be much too risky and surely destined to fail.'

Margaret Thatcher's genius in confronting the TUC... is that

SHE DID NOT

Apart from violent secondary picketing nothing was banned by law . She said in effect, you can strike morning , noon and night. You can strike this country into bankruptcy and oblivion.

BUT ON ONE CONDITION

ALL STRIKE ACTION MUST BE AGREED BY THE ENTIRE WORKFORCE VOTING IN SECRET BALLOT.

The last two words accomplished a revolution and set the country back on the road to recovery, slow though it was.  Freed from the nightly intimidatory show of hands, the name taking and the bullying of the Commies, millions of working men and women, in the privacy of the booth, voted with a cross:

WE DO NOT WANT TO STRIKE.

And for twenty years strike action became virtually a non-event.  .  .

*

Received Wisdom

So what didi she do that was so amazing?

Nothing amazing at all.

She simply gave the trade unions back to the membership.  And the membership ousted the Marxiasts and voted in the moderates. In other words,

SHE JUST TRUSTEDTHE PEOPLE WITH THEIR DESTINYAND THEY TRUSTED HER BACK

The devisers of the Received Wisdom never Trust the People, regarding

THEM as ILL-EDUCATED by COMPARISON with THEMSELVES.  DENSE, OBTUSE and INCAPABLE of arriving at a SUITABLE DECISION.

The position of David Cameron is in ,has remarkable parallels.  He tentatively prepares for a premiership that seems likely to be his in two years. He must realise, for he is not stupid,

 THAT THE REAL POWER TO GOVERN THIS COUNTRY DOES NOT RESIDE IN WESTMINSTER

BUT IN

BRUSSELS.

On every side he hears the ophidian hiss.  it is terribly disagreeable, but there is nothing you can do about it and it would be manically

RISKY TO TRY

In my lifetime there have only been

TWO GIANTS

emerging from the Conservative Party

WINSTON CHURCHILL

and

MARGARET THATCHER

They had this in common

They both found a country in

CRISIS.

They both took the leadership of a land facing

DEFEAT

They both assured that nothing could be done and, unpleasant though it must be, continued appeasement was the only viable policy.

They both rebuffed the defeatism of the

HAS-BEENS

and

MANDARINS

 and

TRUSTED THE PEOPLE

INSTEAD.

And the People did not let them down, but elevated them to the

PANTHEON.

David Cameron faces a very similar choice. he knows the Establishment and its Received Wisdom is totally

PRO-EU

He cannot fail to know that the mood of the majority-and a huge majority is the reverse.

[ and is growing stronger by the day.  The Irish people have given the British people some vital breathing space which Gordon Brown had stupidly denied them.]

Knowing the mood of the people is today easier than it has ever been. Polls, focus groups and the internet reveal to a national politician the deep desires of the British on an almost daily basis.  Sometimes those desires fluctuate wildly, revealing that it would be unwise to trust the mood of the hour. On this the issue the mood is a steady as the Rolling Thames.

Listening to the People

On every other issue David Cameron is listening to the people and instructing his team to tailor for him policies that correspond to

WHAT PEOPLE YEARN FOR

But on one single [vital and most important] issue-our dreadful terms of membership of the EU and a massive public desire for a

REFERENDUM

-he appears to chicken out. The frighteners seem to have done their  job as usual.

In truth he has an opportunity not given to any Tory leader since John Major, helpless glove puppet of Clarke and Heseltine,

REFUSED US

a

REFERENDUM on MAASTRICHT

HE CAN  read the speech of that constitutional giant Lord Neill of Bladen.

HE CAN declare that his party therefore repudiates Brown's irrelevant ratification.

HE CAN pledge that a post-factum REFERENDUM, far from being

"almost impossible"

is  exactly what we had in

1975

-to ask if we, the British People, wished to renegotiate the Act of Accession to the Treaty of Rome in 1972 and that therefore he will give us our

STOLEN REFERENDUM

on

TAKING OFFICE.

[Millions of Britons are Eurosceptic and the number is growing daily as many more realise just in the nick of time that there is more to beware of  the so-called United States of Europe which is contrary to the way-of -life of a settled people who have developed over their long history their own brand of JUSTICE and PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY which is slowly being destroyed as our Institutions are gutted of their centuries of progress to be replaced with contents which are a continental model rejected over 500 years ago by a Lord Chief Justice of England Sir John Fortescue who stated that our home grown LAW and CUSTOMS were vastly superior and that the  those over the other side of the wall of England - its silver stream , were not in keeping with our inherited freedoms and liberties of our Island Home.]

Mr Forsyth concludes:

He would have to face vicious criticism from the FORCES of DEFEATISM and APPEASEMENT.

SO DID

WINSTON CHURCHILL

-SO DID

MARGARET THATCHER .

BECAUSE they TRUSTED the BRITISH PEOPLE

to decide on their own

DESTINY

IT TOOK COURAGE.

Will

David Cameron have that courage?

I HOPE SO

I dearly hope so. because I want him to succeed. But no man ever succeeded by running away.

IT IS BRITAIN or BRUSSELS, DAVID

YOUR COUNTRY -YOUR CHOICE.

TREATY of TREASON

*

Sir John Fortescue, LORD CHANCELLOR of England who’s final resting place is in

The Church Of St. Eadburgha –Ebrington - Gloucs

which stands in a commanding position in one of the highest parts of the village.

‘The CHURCHYARD has many ancient

Yews and tall dark trees sheltering a collection of headstones hoary with lichen.  Some date back to the 17^th century. There is a right-of-way through the churchyard leading to the road to Chipping Campden’.

It looks over a fertile vale to the hills of the Cotswold borderland. Its short sturdy tower is a landmark for miles around which depicts the England we all love.'

Those who consider their constitutional history unrivalled anywhere in the world for its accumulated wisdom from the past in our Constitution and in the People who will not let its principles be destroyed as is now happening by the many disastrous encroachments in its freedoms and liberties and the intrusive additions to our landscape such as millions of  houses  with their massive  accumulated infrastructure and thousands of gigantic wind farms into our precious picturesque landscape in many parts of our country.

The Scandinavian countries have shown the way with their controlled immigration and small population and are among the richest nations in the world. It is not the numbers that matter but the adaptability and well educated labour force. We in the UK have had a massive surge of immigration over the last ten years with at least 3.5 million newcomers that we know of and in the same time scale we have millions of indigenous unemployed many with little or no valued education.

The People of our small Island Home can make the choice.  Follow the Scandinavian example and control immigration in a well-educated and skilled environment or remain with a growing encroachment of crowded urban development into our beautiful countryside with no real control of borders and with the additional massive cost in benefits-increase in crime and an overwhelmed NHS with claimants from around the world which even with an almost  bottomless trough of resources is taking two steps forward and then four steps back.

Of course , in the main many businesses are of a different mind as they say they depend on foreign workers to increase their profits whatever it takes and they would say at least we are paying taxes and it is up to the Government to ensure there are sufficient numbers of trained labour and technical workers for the home industry.

In the name of Climate Change our countryside and coastal waters are to be littered with gigantic WIND FARMS in their thousands in our once green and pleasant land. Whatever the UK achieves in its targets in a year disappear almost hourly with the new industrial expansion in the new developing countries such as China-India and many others. Of course home insulation and other such methods of saving fuel costs is sensible as the rapid price of energy over the past months has shown.

WHY NOT a REFERENDUM to give the PEOPLE of ENGLAND a choice THE DESTRUCTION of their COUNTRYSIDE or accept a SMALLER POPULATION and PROTECT THEIR once GREEN and PLEASANT LAND with MORE SPACE  to ENJOY instead of the encroachments of URBAN DEVELOPMENT into the COUNTRYSIDE.

MORE SPACE-LESS PEOPLE

AND A 

HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER PEOPLE
