Following on from Brian Micklethwait’s earlier post, the likelihood of a Euro-poll in the current UK parliament, is looking increasingly distant. However, as this related Telegraph leader article puts it:
… sincere euro-fanatics need not despair entirely, for the proposed European constitution would make the question of euro membership largely redundant. Under its terms, Brussels would “coordinate the economic and employment policies of the member states” … In such circumstances, the right to mint our own currency would be like Scotland’s right to print its own banknotes today: symbolically important, but no guarantee of economic independence. Perhaps Mr Blair is playing a longer game than we think.
So in John Prescott’s future ‘Europe of the Regions’, governed by the European Constitution, we could get ‘co-ordinated’ into the euro currency zone with or without the needless inefficiency of a referendum on the matter. We may not lose the pound, but one pound sterling could be devalued by the ruling European junta into being exactly equivalent to one euro, and then pegged there indefinitely until the day finally arrives for the assumption of Emperor Blair to the throne of Euro-topia. The need for any currency, of any kind, will then disappear, of course, as we all collapse into each others’ arms in a brotherhood of love and not-for-profit compassion.
Though saying that, if I were Tony Blair one hundred percent of my thoughts would be concentrated on my getting just to the end of this week, never mind the possible future glories of my imperial splendour. But he’s a slippery customer; I would never put anything past him.
I would’nt put any thing past this scungy load of mongrels. Will they also abandon the proposed referenda on regional assemblies? I doubt it.
It’s about time a referendum was put to the people on the whole idea of eu membership, but before that they can set up an English Parliament.
Love the flag of trans-national socialism at the bottom of the article!
Andy: congrats for the Nazi cross on the European flag.
What about KKK initials on the flag of the USA ?
You’re slipping, Kodiak — it took you six hours to start whinging about Andy’s use of the swastika inside the EU stars. 😉
Oh wow, Godwin’s Law would imply that this thread was over before it even started (see the EU flag, that I missed!)
Which then implies that time can INDEED run backwards!
Kodiak,
No no no, you have it all wrong again…..The EU and the KKK are in reality “Brothers in Arms”. Both groups are strongly Anti-Semetic, both are morally bankrupt, both are economically bankrupt, both have all the answers but cannot recite just one of the questions, both are plainly just a group of cowards, both operate under the “colour” of law and the administration of both groups are full of people possessed of embitterments, hatreds, resentments and petty jealousies.
All right Shaun. KKK is not OK for you. It’s causing you severe verbal incontinence.
So let’s change the flag of the USA again. Why not pin up a postcard of Nagasaki onto it?
I know, David: it’s gonna ge Godwin’s law once more… Sorry.
Ted: did I improve my response time anyhow?
Kodiak
Your comments are typical of the meaningless babble we expect from our Comrades on the left.
Why the Swastika?
Because the EU’s grand vision is to exterminate the nations of Europe under a single powerful central control. Whilst there are no plans for wholesale extermination of any particular ethnic groups (to my knowledge anyway), these other factors do have more than a passing resemblance to national socialism.
The American Flag and the KKK or Nagasaki?
Does the KKK represent the key principles of the USA in anyway? Or does a single act, more than half a century ago represent what the USA is today?
The answer to both seems to be no, unless we come up with a very tenuous link indeed.
Jonathan,
Take some sleeping pills: you need rest. And have some herbtea: it’ll be good for your nerves.
