Miliband, Fascism and Chamberlain

The Daily Telegraph, linked here, reports that the Foreign Secretary is outraged that the European Scrutiny Committee Chairman had likened him to Neville Chamberlain conceding to Hitler in his evasiveness over the real consequences of the EU Reform Treaty. I quote the Foreign Secretary's remarks justifying his supposed astonishment at this comparison: "Maybe I feel this particularly personally but to say this is the equivalent of Neville Chamberlain coming back in the late 1930s from Munich claiming to have had an agreement with Adolf Hitler is not worthy of any committee," said an astonished Mr Miliband...... "Mr Miliband's father and grandfather both fled to England from Brussels to escape the advancing German army in May 1940. His mother stayed behind and joined his father after the war." The reality of the Holocaust must not be forgotten as the cartoon now circulating around the world by e-mail as reproduced below makes clear. BUT it is David Miliband and his boss Brown who are now behaving like the Nazis as my illustration, prompted entirely by the recent deceit and deviousness of the Foreign Secretary and titled 'Milinazi Band' (see below), was last evening intended to briefly but graphically portray. The fact that the nation of England with its long history as a refuge for those politically persecuted on the European Continent gave a safe haven to Miliband's parents and grandparents makes it even more outrageous that this comparative newcomer to our democracy should be about to destroy it through propaganda and lies. The fact that his father was a leading Marxist also makes his motivation seem suspect. In the Telegraph article it appears that this dishonest Foreign Secretary is implying that his religion exonerates him from charges of nazism. It is an unfortunate fact that some Jews during the holocaust sided with their persecutors against their fellow believers. Miliband seems of that ilk and should now examine every detail of his handling of the EU Reform Treaty since his taking of office, from the conspiracy of silence regarding the negotiations to the most recent withholding of a reply to the Scrutiny Committee's recent letter until one hour before the Committee convened. If the Foreign Secretary feels his behaviour and actions are honourable or worthy of any democrat then he is unfit for office on the grounds of flawed reasoning. What is unfolding over this treaty is proving the most disgraceful episode in Britain's democracy for centuries. Those largely responsible Tony Blair, Margaret Becket, Gordon Brown and David Miliband are toying with treason, parliament has to date allowed this to continue. We must hope that at Prime Ministers Questions today the rank and file of Members of Parliament from all parties will make it clear that Brown can neither agree nor initial any agreement that attempts to bind future parliaments nor offers "red lines" that are merely illusory.
