More on the IDS ouster, here Howard's capitulation to Germany in Berlin!
Were Germany's Christian Democrats behind IDS Ouster
According to a recent BBC documentary on Anglo-German relations, it was fairly clearly implied that Chancellor Kohl of Germany's Christian Democrats party was largely responsible for getting rid of Margaret Thatcher and her replacement by John Major who it quickly became clear was very much a German poodle, who ingratiatingly sucked up to Chancellor until the fiasco of Black Wednesday destroyed the one-sided friendship, and of course the Conservative Party.
Now we watch as the plans of IDS to pull away from the German Christian Democrat dominated European Peoples Party all come to nothing as his successor announces a renewal of the hypocritical deal with the arch-federalists. Where will it be announced - tomorrow in Berlin, nice and handy for the pat on the head, perhaps?
Which Tory MEPs will have the nerve or courage to distance themselves from this tragedy, will this cause the long awaited split which the country now so desperately requires - time will tell!

Disgusting Deal on the EU by Howard
Reuters carries a report on a deal to be announced tomorrow, fittingly enough in Berlin by Michael Howard, that spells the end of Conservative resistance to the European Union by extending that party's membership of the extreme federalist European Peoples Party. Blair will also be in the German capital selling out more of this country's democracy and hard won freedoms, and no doubt receiving his instructions for further capitulation when he assembles with several of his ministers before the Franco/German axis next week.

Read the whole dreadful manifesto of the European People's Party which astoundingly among other horrors sacrfices Britain's separate foreign and defence policies and potentially seems ready to sever our essential NATO defence dependency, from this link:-

Read some earlier comments on Ironies from here and here. I will scan the net for traces of protest or resistance from party members, and post any consoling results that might be found!

Tony Blair was also in Berlin at that time, as Prime Minister, subjecting the country to years of control and asset stripping by our so called partners. Howard's presence ensured there could be no back-tracking should a real Tory Leader ever emerge!
