LETTER from Lord Kilmuir, the Lord
Chancellor, to Edward Heath, prior to the acceptance by Parliament of the
“Treaty of Rome”
My dear Ted,
You wrote to me on 30th November, [1970] -
about the constitutional implications of our [The UK] becoming a party to the “Treaty of Rome”. I have now had an opportunity of
considering what you say in your letter and have studied the memoranda you sent
me I agree with you that there are IMPORTANT CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES INVOLVED.
I have no doubt that if we do sign the TREATY, we
shall suffer some LOSS of SOVEREIGNTY, but before attempting to define or
evaluate the loss I wish to make one general observation.
At the end of
the day, the ISSUE is
Whether or NOT to join the [So-called]
EUROPEAN
ECONOMIC COMMUNITY
- must be decided on broad political grounds and if it
appears from what follows in
this letter that I find the constitutional
objections serious that does mean that I consider them conclusive [final!]
I do however, think it important that we should
appreciate clearly from the outset exactly WHAT, from the CONSTITUTIONAL point
of view, is involved if we sign the treaty, and it is with that consideration
in mind that I have addressed myself to the questions you have raised.
Adherence to the Treaty of Rome would in my opinion,
would AFFECT our SOVEREIGNTY in three
ways:-
PARLIAMENT would be required to surrender some of its
functions to the ORGANS of the COMMUNITY.
The CROWN would be called ON to TRANSFER part of its
TREATY-MAKING power to those ORGANS of the COMMUNITY.
OUR COURTS OF LAW would sacrifice some degree of INDEPENDENCE by becoming
subordinate in certain respects to the EUROPEAN COURT OF JUSTICE.
The POSITION of PARLIAMENT.
It is clear that the memorandum prepared by your Legal
advisers that the Council of Ministers could eventually (after the system of
qualified majority voting had come into force) make regulations which would be binding on us even
against our wishes, and would in fact become for us part of the LAW of the LAND.
THERE ARE TWO
WAYS IN WHICH THIS REQUIREMENT OF THE TREATY COULD
IN PRACTICE BE IMPLEMENTED.
Parliament could legislate ad hoc on each occasion that the Council make regulations requiring
action by us. The difficulty would be that, since Parliament can bind neither bind itself nor its
successors, we could only comply with the obligations under the TREATY
if PARLIAMENT abandoned its RIGHT of passing independent judgment on the
legislative proposals put before it.
A parallel is the CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION whereby
PARLIAMENT passes the British North American Bills without question at the
request of the PARLIAMENT of CANADA; in this respect PARLIAMENT here has
substance if not in form, abdicated its SOVEREIGN position, and it would have pro tanto [for so much] , to do the same for the [EUROPEAN] COMMUNITY.
It would in
theory be possible for parliament to enact at the outset legislation which
would give automatic force of law to any existing or future [EU] regulations
made by the appropriate organs of the Community. For Parliament to do this would go far beyond
the most extensive delegation of -----
I do not think there is any likelihood of this being
acceptable to the House of Commons. Which ever course were adopted, Parliament
would retain in theory the liberty to repeal the relevant Act or Acts [Of the
EU Treaty] but I would agree with you that we must act on the assumption that
entry into the [EU] Community would be irrevocable; we should therefore to
accept a position where Parliament had no more power to repeal its own
enactments than it has in practice to abrogate the Statute of Westminster.
In short, Parliament would have to
transfer to the [EU] Council, or other appropriate organ of the [EU] Community,
its substantive powers of legislating over a whole of a very important field.
Treaty –Making POWERS.
The proposition that every treaty entered into by the United Kingdom
does to some extent fetter our freedom of action is plainly TRUE. Some treaties such as GATT and O.E.E.C
restrict severely our liberty to make agreements with third parties and I
should not regard it as detrimental to our sovereign that, by signing the
TREATY of ROME,
we undertook not to make tariff or trade agreements without the Council’s
approval.
BUT to transfer to the Council or the
[EU] Commission the power to make such treaties on our behalf, and even against
our will, is an entirely different proposition.
There seems to me to be a clear distinction between
the exercise of sovereignty involved in the conscious acceptance by us of
obligations under treaty-making powers and the total or partial surrender of
sovereignty involved in our cession of these powers to some other body.
To confer a sovereign state’s treaty-making powers on
an international organisation is the first step on the road which leads by way
of confederation to the fully FEDERAL STATE.
I do not suggest that what is involved would
necessarily carry us very far in this direction, but it would be a most
significant step and one for which there is no precedent in our case. Moreover, a further surrender of sovereignty
of parliamentary supremacy would necessarily be involved as you know, although the treaty-making power is
vested in the CROWN.
Parliamentary sanction is required for any treaty
which involves a change in the law or the imposition of taxation (to take two
examples), and we cannot ratify such
a treaty unless Parliament consents. But if binding treaties are to be
entered into on our behalf, Parliament
must surrender this function and either resign itself to becoming a rubber
stamp or give the Community, in effect, the power to amend our domestic laws.
Independence of the
Courts.
There is no precedent for our final appellate tribunal
being required to refer questions of law (even in a limited field) to another
Court and as I assume to be the implication of “refer” to accept that Court’s
decision.
You will remember that when a similar proposal was
considered in connection with the Council of Europe we felt strong objection to
it. I have no doubt that the whole of the legal profession in this country
would share my dislike for such a proposal which must inevitably detract from
the INDEPENDENCE and
AUTHORITY of OUR COURTS.
Of these three objections, the first two are by far the more important. I must emphasise that in my view the SURRENDERS
of SOVEREIGNTY involved are SERIOUS ONES, and I think that as a matter of practical
politics, it will not be easy to persuade PARLIAMENT or the PUBLIC to accept
them.
I am sure that it would be a great mistake to
under-estimate the force of objections to them.
But these objections ought to be brought out into the open now because,
if we attempt to gloss over them at this stage, those who are opposed to the
whole idea of our joining the [EU] Community will certainly seize on them with
more damaging effect later on. Having
said this, I would emphasis once again that, although these CONSTITUTIONAL
considerations must be given their full weight when we come to balance the
arguments on either side, I do not for one moment wish to convey the impression
that they must necessarily tip the scale.
In the long run we shall have to decide whether economic factors require
us to make
SACRIFICES of SOVEREIGNTY:
My concern is to ensure that we
should see exactly what it is that we are called on to sacrifice, and how
serious our loss would be.
Yours ever,
David.

SEPTEMBER/06
The
abolition of Britain
by The Reform Treaty
- Passed by majority of 138
The abolition of Britain
by The Reform Treaty
- Passed by majority of 138
MPs voted by 362 - 224
for the Reform Treaty in its
Second Reading on Monday
21st January. This sixth and
final treaty, now renamed
the Lisbon Treaty, formally
replaces Britain with the
European Union on 1st
January 2009. This is a year
before the deadline set by
the Chancellor of Germany,
Angela Merkel.
The Treaty will abolish
the British Constitution,
and therefore the nations of
Britain and England,
sweeping away our
Westminster Parliament, and
giving the EU the power to
close it.
The Treaty sets up an
unelected three tier
politburo executive in
Brussels with absolute
power, a dictatorship on the
soviet model. The EU
parliament has no power and
is a sham.
Read the Reform Treaty
one page summary on the
left. Gordon Brown was
lying: the Treaty is worse
than the constitution.
This sixth treaty is the
fastest moving and most
secret the EU has drafted;
opposition to and
recognition of the EU as a
police state is growing, and
they know speed is vital.
This Commons vote, one of
the most important in our
history, was largely
unreported by our controlled
press and media.
The Queen and Parliament
to complete ratification
this spring, 2008
Parliament has allocated 29
days to discuss this treaty
in February (not much for
its own abolition). They
will probably have the final
ratification vote in March.
The Queen, the EU's most
loyal supporter, plans to
give her Royal Assent in
June 2008. This means
Westminster and the Queen
will ratify it behind our
backs, as they have the
other five treaties.
No referendum
German Chancellor Merkel
chose this sixth Treaty
instead of pushing it
through as a constitution to
avoid referendums in its
member nations. She twice
visited 10 Downing Street
and forced Gordon Brown to
cancel both his promised
referendum, and his General
Election.
"Anti-EU" groups have
encouraged us to call for a
referendum precisely because
the EU has already
prohibited it. They know we
are wasting our efforts: our
four party leaderships take
their orders from the EU,
not from the voters.
How to fight
The real course of
action is to change the
minds of 70 MP's and get a
majority against. MP's have
been selected on the Party
list system over the last 20
years to ensure an obediant
majority of pro-EU MPs.
These MPs now need to
understand the EU has the
constitution (the six
treaties) of a dictatorship,
the laws of a police state,
and when enforced, its
111,000 regulations will
create a government command
economy, soviet style:
dictatorships cause poverty.
They also need to realise
that MPs are the people who
put this dictatorship in
power. If they put it in
power, they are the greatest
threat to take it out of
power. All dictatorships in
the past have eliminated
that threat. Inside the EU,
the lives of MPs will be
even worse than our own; at
best, they are likely to be
institutionalised and held
against their will. (This is
the only good bit - these
hated traitors will suffer
severely.)
Visit your MP in his
surgery NOW and explain
this. (Instructions top
left)
The EU remains illegal
Each of these six treaties
are completely illegal under
the British Constitution,
our 1689 Bill of Rights, our
treason laws, and under our
common law. It is
unforgivable that the Queen,
her Ministers and our
Parliament have committed
the criminal act of treason
by signing these treaties,
and broken our laws to
abolish our nation.
The EU will always be
illegal in Britain; but once
the EU has complete power
and control here, we can no
more get rid of it than we
could Germany, had their
planned illegal occupation
of Britain in 1940 been
successful.
The Countdown to
abolition
Whereas the 465 page EU
Constitution would have
abolished the five treaties
and replaced them with a
single document conferring
absolute power, the Reform
Treaty adds to the existing
five treaties, bringing them
up to the powers of the EU
Constitution. All six
treaties with appendices add
up to nearly 10,000 complex
and unreadable pages. Tony
Blair agreed to it on 23rd
June 2007 as his final stab
in Britain’s back. On the
23rd July there was an
Intergovernmental Conference
(IGC), when we should have
seen a first draft of the
Treaty.
Foreign ministers agreed
its terms on 7-8th September
at the resort of Viana de
Castelo, Portugal. There was
a summit in Lisbon on the
18th and 19th October, where
they hoped to sign the
Treaty, but Gordon Brown
signed it on December 13th
2007, commiting treason, the
most criminal act on the
statute book.
The EU has decided to act
now as if the Treaty were
already in force; they are
consolidating their power
each day. On 1.1.2009 the
Reform Treaty and the other
five seize all remaining
power from our Westminster
Parliament, which becomes
defunct on that day; it has
no remaining powers
whatsoever. (The Treaties do
allow Brussels to return
minor powers, but that is
very unlikely.) On 11th June
2009 we have bogus elections
to the sham Brussels
Parliament, the only
elections we will get in the
future.
Westminster's five year
term expires on 5th May 2010
and a British General
Election is due. The six
treaties make no provision
for an election to our
Parliament. By that time the
EU will have consolidated
its absolute power, and it
will almost certainly use it
cancel that election and to
close Westminster. The EU
has always planned to rule
what was Britain directly
through its 12 nominated
Regional capitals, by
passing Westminster, from
which every function will be
removed.
Its founders knew the EU
dictatorship cannot be built
while there is a strong and
freedom loving Britain on
its doorstep. They tried
twice before in 1914 and
1939. Britian has to be
utterly destroyed for the EU
to succeed. The success of
the EU's Frankfurt School
subversion techniques on
Britain (see left) has been
astonishing; the abolition
of Westminster is one of
their final remaining goals.
You have 11 months left
Treason is the most serious
of all Britain’s crimes. You
have just 11 months left to
bring these vile British
traitors to justice, and get
us out of the EU
dictatorship.
Around 45 million British
people are against the
abolition of our nation, and
with the little European
voting that has been
allowed, it seems clear over
200 million of its victims
don’t want the EU. But we
will never be given the
choice. YOU have to decide
to act yourself.
There are ways to stop
the EU - see "Your
Campaigns" on the left. Then
we will need a mass blockade
of Westminster to stop our
criminal MP's and Queen
breaking our constitution
and laws for the last time.

Where we are now:
1. Since 1972 The Queen has
illegally signed five of the six EU
Treaties.
2. The five treaties define and
build the EU as an unelected
dictatorship.
3. The EU's laws, passed by
Westminster, give it the powers of a
police state.
4. The sixth EU treaty will
complete the abolition of Britain as
a nation
- the Queen is due to sign it
this year.
A foreign power, the EU, will
then rule us, and enforce the laws
of a police state.
Shouldn't we repeal the 1972
European Communities Act now
before we are imprisoned permanently
inside? We've only got till July
2008.
Please fight
the campaigns at the top of the menu
on the left.
The
leaderships of the Conservative,
Labour and Lib Dem parties have been
controlled by the European Union for
two decades. It is the EU agenda
they implement in Parliament, not
your wishes, which is why your vote
doesn't count.
Our controlled press and media
haven't reported it, but Britain
would have been abolished in
November 2006 if the French and
Dutch hadn't voted down the EU
Constitution.
Instead a sixth and final Treaty
will now be signed; after which EU
Commissioners will have the power to
impose the Constitution (and the
Euro) on us, and enforce the laws of
a police state.
5. Thirty three years inside
the EU - have you noticed how our
democracy is being withdrawn?
The EU has already denied us that
most basic of human rights - the
right to vote against the EU and to
keep our own nation. A majority of
us don't want to be in the EU. We
are being forced in against our
will.
Do you feel you've become
powerless, unable to influence
events, or your vote is worth less?
The six treaties have been gradually
removing our democracy; for thirty
years our laws have been
"harmonised" with the EU; 80% of the
laws now passed by our Parliament
are EU laws, not ours. Isn't the
real reason people have lost
interest in politics precisely
because the EU has taken away our
ability to change things?
Common law, where the government
was our servant, is now largely
replaced by the EU's Corpus Juris,
which puts the government above the
law, and we don't participate. We
have already lost most of our rights
(including habeas corpus). The power
of government grows unchecked, as
does that of large corporations.
Politicians continuously lie about
the EU, pretending its not
significant.
6. Massive EU corruption
The EU's auditors have found the
fraud is so widespread they've
refused to sign off the EU's
accounts for each of the last ten
years. Whistleblowers like Marta
Andreason, the EU Budget Director,
who in 2005 found the EU couldn't
account for 95% of its £66
billion budget, are simply fired for
telling the truth.
7.The bribing of our
Politicians by the EU
Europe works by bribing politicians
with huge salaries and expenses to
vote for Europe, against the best
interests of their own voters.
As a result all three parties are
in favour of the EU - Westminster
acts like a one party state of
politicians: the Lib-Lab-Con. The
parties are run top down and
implement the policy of their
leaderships, not that of their
members. (unfortunately UKIP is run
in the same way). If you have voted
for the Labs, Cons or Lib-Dems since
1969, you have voted for
the EU dictatorship.
8. EU corruption is now
exploding through our Civil Service,
our local government, and our 7,000
quangos.
A shadow EU government lives inside
our bureaucracy, headquartered in
the Office of the Deputy Prime
Minister (ODPM.) It includes many
parts of government including the
RDA and the Regional Assemblies.
Common Purpose, an EU
organisation, the UK branch also
headquartered in the ODPM, has
members across many government
organisations including some city
and county councils, the Land
Registry, the police and the NHS,
which it is destroying from within.
Common Purpose is the glue
that enables fraud to be committed
across these government departments,
most of it lining the pockets of
politicians and bureaucrats. It
often involves the sale of public
assets such as land to friends of
politicians or their businesses.
(The RDA -The EU Regional
Development Agency, is a major
player in this type of fraud.) And
the handing out of plum government
non jobs with big salaries and
expenses to members of Common
Purpose, all of it involving the
theft of our money as taxpayers. The
Chief Executive Officer of Common
Purpose is Julia Middleton of the
ODPM.
9. Businesses closing under EU
regulation
The EU's 111,000 regulations, when
fully enforced, will transform
Britain from a free market economy
into a Soviet style command economy,
closing hundreds of thousands more
businesses. They will also control
our personal lives far more closely
than were those of Soviet citizens.
(In a Parliamentary answer to Lord
Stoddart in January 2003, the
government admitted there were
101,811 EU regulations, growing at
3,500 pa).
The cost of Britain's 8,500
quangoes is £124 billion a year, and
they raise an additional £40 billion
from us in charges, according to the
Cabinet Office. The Public Bodies
Directory 2006 describes only 882 of
them. Most exist to enforce EU
regulations; nearly all should be
closed.
10. The EU costs us £200
billion pa, 20% of our economy
According to the government's Better
Regulation Task Force Annual Report
2005 (Introduction written by Tony
Blair,) complying with EU
regulations now costs our economy
over £100 billion a year.
By far the largest treasury
expense is now the £167 billion
spent on the EU's 8,500 quangos,
(Cabinet Office figures) most of
which enforce EU regulation. This is
patronage, bribery, putting
thousands of officials and
influential businessment on £100,000
- £300,000 a year salaries. That's
why the Exchequer is so desperate
for cash and can't pay for the navy,
nurses, students etc.
Economists say we lose £80
billion pa by associating with the
EU's inferior economies. The EU took
our fishing industry, which costs us
£5 billion pa. EU damage to other
industries (like forcing us to close
the Rover Car Co) a further £20
billion. Our EU contribution is a
relatively minor £10 billion, the
only bit the Press discuss.
Before we joined the EU we had an
even balance of trade with them. Now
EU regulations have fixed it so we
lose £30 billion year trading with
the EU on our balance of payments.
We'd be enormously more wealthy if
we left.
The main use of taxes is now to
finance government and its greedy
whirlpool of waste; they've doubled
in real terms in the 33 years we've
been in the EU. There's less money
in the economy left for wages,
creating a growing underclass who
can't make ends meet.
11. Our counties to be
abolished
The Queen signed the 1992 Maastricht
Treaty, which adopts the EU
Regionalisation Plan. This will
abolish England's 48 counties and
replace them with 9 European
regions, each with their own
Regional Capital, which reports
directly to Brussels, not to
Westminster. This effectively
obliterates the country of England.
For example the County of Cornwall
is replaced by the South West
Region, which stretches from Lands
End and includes Gloucestershire and
Wiltshire; its regional capital is
Exeter. As this move is unpopular it
is being kept low-key and will not
be implemented until the sixth
treaty is signed, when we lose our
right to object.
12. The deliberate destruction
of our standards and way of life,
From Sunday trading, where large
stores force staff to work Sundays
for derisory pay - or they don't get
a job, to the deliberate undermining
of the family and teachers, to sex
education for the under 13's, to
children being given obscene
homework, its all traceable via our
compliant government back to the EU
over the last 34 years, as it
sucessfully implemented the
subversion of the Frankfurt School.
While inside atheist Europe, British
Christianity has almost died out;
safety on our streets and a great
chunk of civilised life has left
with it.
13. The EU has controlled our
immigration since 1997
In January 2007 on the front page of
The Westminster News we forecast 1.5
million immigrants for the year, and
people laughed at us. On January
24th 2008 the Daily Express
published government figures of 1.3
million Polish immigrants alone for
2007. With Romania and Hungary
joining in that year the total was
probaly double that. The Amsterdam
Treaty handed control of our
immigration to the EU. 30,000 a year
used to arrive - the EU's increased
it by 60 times That's why
house prices have been screaming up,
even though the population of
original British people is falling.
Politicians and huge corporations
like immigration - with thousands of
immigrants available on low pay,
they can impose the minimum wage on
millions. Politicians then lie that
they can't get British workers to do
dirty jobs. The truth is they won't
offer a decent wage, and cynically
use immigrants to drive wages down,
adding to the huge underclass.
The Government pretends there are
a maximum of 145,000 immigants
annually, and 1.5 million new houses
will be needed to house them. But
then Jack Straw admits that 2.6
million immigrants applied to stay
here last year.
Our infrastructure and services
can't stand such huge numbers and is
breaking down in some cities, where
English people are becoming a 10%
minority. But the EU controls it,
not the Foreign secretary, and he
has no power, no options but to do
as EU policy dictates, and accept
it.
Michael Howard was lying on the
24th January 2005 when he said he'd
fix immigration - as Prime Minister,
he'd have had no control over it
whatsoever. Immigration hurts our
existing immigrants first - new
immigrants move into their areas,
decreasing the wages and increasing
the pressure on housing.
If the sixth Treaty is signed,
we lose our right to withdraw and
Britain ceases to be a nation. Like
the other six, it only requires two
signatures: the Prime Ministers, and
the Queen's |
