A black day for Britain
Tuesday, 3rd November 2009
As Czech President Vaclav Klaus finally agreed to sign off on the Lisbon Treaty, UKIP Leader Nigel Farage dubbed today "a black day for Britain and a black day for Europe".
Mr Faragee said: "Today the last signature was placed upon the Lisbon Treaty. Today will be marked as the day on which the scales finally started falling from the eyes of the British people.
"Today as we can see from the actions of the big three parties not one of them holds our countries interests at heart.
"Today marks the day in which people will have to start asking themselves what it is they want for the future of their country.
"Do they want a land that is second in the affections of its rulers? A land whose laws are made by those who neither live here nor care about our citizens? A land who is governed by those who, be they ever so decent, have no sympathy for our ways, our traditions, our quirks, our foibles.
"Or do they wish to live in a land of which they can be proud of? One that is a friend to those who wish to be its friends but is prepared to stand up for what it believes is right.
"Today that choice, a choice so long put off comes into focus. Today must be the start of our long haul back to freedom.
"We have known for weeks that Vaclav Klaus would in the end sign the Lisbon Treaty.
"It is truly extraordinary that David Cameron is not able to tell us immediately what he will do. It is incredible that the wannabe Prime Minister of this land was praying that he would be saved by a man in Prague Castle.
"It was never his job. We in this country will only be saved by our own efforts. We cannot and should not rely on the goodwill of others.
"And as we certainly cannot rely upon the good will of our political class. We will have to do it for ourselves."

Cameron "gutless and dishonest"
Monday, 2nd November 2009
Conservative leader David Cameron has been branded "gutless and dishonest" for reneging on a promised referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
The Tory leader told the Royal College Pathologists the party would "do what we can to make good all our promises" but refused to set out what their response would be if the treaty is ratified by all 27 member states before a general election.
Cameron went on to say: "What I said is that we would hold that referendum on the Lisbon Treaty but it seems we are getting close to a point when it is part of European Law."
UKIP Leader Nigel Farage said it was finally clear that the Tories had no intention of putting a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty to the British people at all.
"This is no big surprise," he said.
"We can now see how gutless and dishonest the Conservative Party has been about their intentions on a referendum.
"First we had the Labour Party withdrawing their promise of a referendum, then the Lib Dems and now we have the Tories showing they are not to be trusted either.
"UKIP is the only party to be trusted on this issue and will continue to fight for this crucial referendum that all the other parties promised but will never deliver."
