A dispatch from an occupied country - by Richard... Tuesday, December 01, 2009

From today, as the Lisbon treaty comes into force, we are no longer masters in our own house. Our prime minister, as a member of the European Council, is obligated under this new treaty to promote the aims and objectives of the European Union, over and above those of the UK, and is bound by the rules of the Union.

Of course, this will make no immediate difference. It simply renders de jure what has been de facto for several decades, but the coming into force of the treaty marks an important symbolic turning point. We are no longer an independent country, de jure. Our prime minister and his government are now working for an alien government, based in Brussels.

In effect, that makes us an occupied country, but the alien creatures that rule us most directly are our own. We are "occupied" by our own political élites, who owe their allegiance not to the people who elected them and pay their wages, but to a more powerful, self-appointed élite in Brussels. They are sock-puppets, with less power than the Vichy government of the 1940s.

No longer will we have general elections to select our own government. All that is afforded to us now is the "privilege" of choosing an electoral college, comprised of people we still call Members of Parliament, who then go on to select the British member of the European Council, a man who is there not to represent us or serve our interests, but to participate in our supreme government.

It is perhaps rather fitting, therefore, that on this day, Mr Cameron's supposi-tories should be confronting another drop in their poll ratings, attributable in part at least to the Boy's craven surrender to the forces of darkness. 

The party is down three points to 37 percent, with Labour unchanged on 27 percent and the Lib Dems up two on 20 percent. This is the second such poll in recent times which indicates that the supposi-tories are unlikely to make a breakthrough and win the prize of nominating their leader as the British member of the European Council.

On current results, there could be a hung parliament after the next general election, a process which we have called an electorally-mandated reshuffle – for the only substantive result is that we change the people we send to our supreme government in Brussels.

Such an outcome is considered by some as undesirable, but it is of little importance. For sure, our provincial government will be able to exercise some residual powers, but over term, they will reduce even more, whoever is elected. Therefore, the results of this coming "reshuffle" are a matter of supreme indifference.

Others, who still seem to care, are put in an impossible position. On one of the major supposi-tory blogs, a commenter remarked: "My prospective Conservative MP is a Europhile 'climate change expert'. You expect me to vote for that? You must be having a laugh." You can see the poor man's problem.

The worst of it is that, in the streets today, nothing will appear to have changed. Everything will look much the same as it did yesterday. In No 10, a man by the name of Gordon Brown will still be calling himself prime minister. In the Houses of Parliament, there will still be MPs and peers, and the Union Jack will adorn the building.

But everything is different. We are a satellite state of the Greater European Empire, ruled by a supreme government in Brussels. And things will stay different until we have regained our freedom. Until then, as I remarked before, we owe this government neither loyalty nor obedience. It is not our government. It is theirs. It is our enemy.

A diversionary tactic? - by Richard...

One just has to look at the opinion polls and then the torrent of adverse comments on media pieces about global warming to know that the greenie agenda is a total crock.

But such details escape the leaden brain of Mary Riddellwho has broken her own records for stupidity, writing an op-ed in The Daily Scarygraph telling us that the "eco-vote" is vital for both Labour and David Cameron's supposi-tories.

In Brighton and Norwich, she writes, Labour could yet be unseated by the Green Party, but the real election game-changers will be the semi-greens: the vast constituency who fear for their children's and their grandchildren's future. Thus does she continue: 

Unlike the American Right, they do not think climate change is less credible than the tooth fairy. Unlike Lord Lawson, they do not consider agnosticism a prudent stance when scientists (of whom he is not one) have produced overwhelming evidence of looming catastrophe. Unlike sceptics seeking diversionary tactics, they don't think emails disgracefully suggestive of faked statistics at the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit should divert attention from Copenhagen.

According to la Riddell, in key marginals, the semi-greens may vote for the mainstream party with the best environment policy. On current indicators, she suggests, that will not be Mr Cameron, who is losing the support of the powerful NGOs once persuaded by his green agenda and now swinging back to Mr Brown.

And thus does the great sage conclude: "A general election is inconsequential compared to what's at stake in Copenhagen. Nor may Mr Brown's impressive away performance compensate for the weaknesses in his home game. Even so, Denmark will shape political as well as planetary destinies. Mr Cameron is right to be afraid."

The worst of it all is that stupid woman probably believes what she is writing. To her, Climategate is a "diversionary tactic" – another classic indicator of how the bien pensanshave totally lost the plot. 

By way of an antidote, have a look at Small Dead Animals. The comments are quite fun as well.
