Silent Majority Speaks
Rescuing Democracy in the United Kingdom from our current Elected Dictatorship
|
Spin,
not face-to-face confrontations with the voters, is the Government's
chosen method of communication. Ordinary people are dangerous. Ordinary
people might ask a question which throws a politician 'off message';
the Cabinet member might reveal himself or herself to be a human being
like us, and not a programmed android. Worse still, he or she might
tell the truth.

Blair wants to leave his
mark on history - looks more like a stain to me.
Peter Thorndyke, Diss,
Norfolk - Daily Mail, May 23, 2005
I know I'm me - why do I
need an ID card?
"Sorry, officers, I
don't have an ID card. I never applied for one. It seemed a bit steep
at 300 quid. I do have my free passport, my driving licence and my
London freedom travel pass, each with my photograph. I have my NHS
medical card, with its lengthy number, given me at birth, my RAF
service book with my Armed Forces number, and a chit authorising me to
wear a few gongs -including a General Service Medal with Malaya bar,
for fighting communist terrorists on behalf of my country, or so they
told me.
"I've also got various credit
cards and store cards, all with my signature on the back, generally
good for buying the everyday requrements for life as well as the odd
luxury. If you decide to arrest me, I suppose I'll have to be
photographed and given another number, besides my PINs.
"I'm afraid I haven't got a
pension book; it was taken away."
"By thieves, sir?"
"No ... well, not exactly. By the
Government. By the way, may I see your warrant cards please, gentlemen?"
Oh dear, they've disappeared. E.

NO means NO
When does NO mean MAYBE?
When it's not the answer the EU wants.
With the
courageous French NON resounding in their ears, shabby, undemocratic
self-interested leaders of Europe propose ignoring the part of their
precious constitution that requires ratification by all members and
continuing without one of the biggest founder members to prevent
derailing the gravy train.
As in Ireland,
they refuse to accept any NO votes, ignoring the will of the people,
and re-stage votes until they can engineer the 'correct' answer. Sadly,
Foreign Secretary Jack Straw dances to their tune like a puppet on a
string. With tactics such as these, how can anyone really believe the
EU has our interests at heart. Letter from Steve Penny, Kingsnorth, Kent - Daily
Mail, June1, 2005
Surely
the French result makes the £1million the EU recently spent on a
treaty signing ceremony seem a trifle premature and extravagant. Letter from Keith Wiseman, Bury, Lancs. - Daily Mail,

Britain has
traditionally been one of the biggest net contributors to the EU
because we do not get as much money back from Brussels in farm and
regional subsidies as our rivals.
According to
Treasury figures, between 1995-2002, Britain's average contribution
taking the rebate into account, was £2.6billion, or £43.55
per head of population.
The French -
the biggest recipient of farm subsidies - contributed £1billion a
year or £16.08 per head of their population.

Regional
assemblies must be stopped
Letter
from Mrs E. M. Lang, Boslowick Rd., Falmouth - Packet, Oct. 15,
2005
I
do applaud Mr David Noakes (Falmouth Packet, Sept. 25, 2005)
on making a stand against, firstly, the iniquitous council tax
charges, secondly, the outrageous, extravagant mis-spending by
the councils, and thirdly, the construction of the regional assembly
building in Exeter.
Comment
- The skipper
Falmouth
Packet, October 15, 2005
West Country taxpayers will be tickled pink to hear that
their region is the first in the country to employ a new
breed of meddling bureaucrats.
Equality
South West, funded
mainly by you, is the region's new 'equality and diversity
network', the first in the UK, which will make sure that
gay black women pensioners who walk with a limp and worship
on a Saturday (especially the ones who live in Camborne)
get a fair deal out of life.
Unfortunately,
Equality
South West has
fallen at the first hurdle and demonstrated disgracefully
discrimination. Its first newsletter is available in Urdu,
Punjabi, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Polish, Vietnamese,
Cantonese and Somali - but not CORNISH.
Now,
as you all know, I'm not a great fan of plans to revive
a long dead language. But as it has already been decided
to spend £600,000 of our cash to teach and promote
Cornish, surely a publicly-funded outfit like Equality
South West should
have made sure that Cornish speakers were afforded the
same courtesy as citizens from other parts of the world?
We might have expected a body charged with promoting equality
in age, disability, gender, race, religion and sexual
orientation to practice what it preaches.
Cornish
speakers might account for only 0,04% of the population
of Cornwall, but I bet that's still more than the number
of people in the SouthWest who need a leaflet translated
into Gujerati, Somali or Vietnamese!

All
three are most plausible objections but which one will he be carrying
the torch for? Better one shining success than three damp squibs!
Should it be the regional assembly building in Exeter - an undeniable
statement of the establishment of all regional assemblies which
have been inflicted upon us by the stealth and deviousness of
Brussels, and all the Europhiles among us, over the past six months
or so. Even at the time of the so-called 'referendum' held in
the North-East, it was a well known fact that all such regional
assemblies were already in place and functioning, paid for by
British council taxes.
John
Prescott thought he was safe enough to obtain a 'Yes' vote there
and so have them all accepted retrospectively, but he met with
a vehement rejection! But it was all a complete farce as we all
know they were in place then as now, answering only to the European
Union.
We
must resist these regional assemblies being inflicted upon us
with the usual covert and insidious manner of Brussels against
our will, even without our knowledge until they were functioning.
They cannot be allowed to take over. We want to continue to govern
ourselves, not to be governed by Brussels. England was divided
into nine regions, one being London, other being Scotland, Wales
and Ireland. - 12 in all, each having their own representatives
with their own offices in Brussels, supporting only the interests
of Europe and not our own.
If
people do not know about all this, it is undoubtedly because they
do not read newspapers, or ignore information given, which I and
many others have been writing to the Press about for years, at
least since 1999. Perhaps now we can hope that they will sit up
and take notice and hopefully act before it is too late.
