Cameron involved in EU plot over Hollande

Cameron has supposed to have taken his party away from the shenanigans of the European Peoples Party, but you might never believe it reading this linked report from EurActiv, as confirmed by an article from Der Spiegel, this morning, linked here.

This could be a good indication of how under Cameron, Britain is doomed to remain locked within the manipulative machinations of the old continent's old politics!

EPP Marseille - Europe's Plotters Parley

EurActiv reports on the gathering of Europe's right wing/conservative conspirators group from the European Parliament, gathered at their annual gathering in Marseille, linked here, titled "EU Centre right parties cook pre-summit deal". This report contains bad news for Britain on the Tobin/FTT tax as follows:

Another divisive issue concerned the European Commission proposal for a financial transactions tax (FTT). “We support the introduction of a financial transaction tax, as a tool to discourage speculative financial activities and enable the financial sector to contribute to overcoming the economic crisis in Europe,” reads an amendment to the final resolution adopted by a large majority of the 813 EPP delegates present in Marseille.

The Wall Street Journal, reporst from the gathering that Sweden foresees problems in passing a Treaty change, read here.

Oradour-sur-Glane - the EU & the massacre of 642 innocents in 1944

This blog has posted three times previously on this dreadful historical event, which posts may be re-read from here. Der Spiegel today reports that the homes of six of the men responsible have suddenly been raided, read here.

I cannot guess what has caused this sudden re-awakening of interest in the 67 year old horror. A quote from one of my earlier posts seems the most useful comment I can now add, as the detailed website upon which it originally appeared is now no longer available:

Any political system that is non-democratic places an enormous burden of responsibility onto the leader(s). If they say that they know best and that the rest should simply follow their lead, then theirs is the power and the glory, as is also the potential blame and odium. Man is an obedient animal; history shows us that. A leader can command his followers to do his will and normally they will do so. Under a democracy if the people do not like the way things turn out, they can change the leaders on a routine basis, under a dictatorship things can only get worse. A question, rather than a conclusion that I shall leave for you the reader to answer yourself is: Who is ultimately responsible, the people who elect a dictator to power, the dictator, or his minions who in believing the message to be right carry out his wishes?

The above quotation was by Michael Williams from 'In a Ruined State.'

When I first quoted this passage, on 2nd January 2007, I related it to the situation within the EU by following it with the following still unresolved observation:

Yesterday two more countries joined the European Union making the total number of former nation states in that pointless, power-crazed conglomerstate a frightening total of twenty seven............Ségolène Royal and Nicolas Sarkozy seem to be prepared to ignore their compatriots' rejection of the EU Constitutional Treaty as an irrelevance and pitch their future policies towards convenience of EU administration rather than a readiness to defend the democracy that alone can protect us from tyranny. Twenty-six other ex-democracies will be looking to the French to prevent such a disaster.

The EU's most powerful political bloc the EPP, laughingly purported to stand for the "European Peoples Party" will this week see French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and heads of state from Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Ireland etc. attend its  congress in Marseille.

Will the EPP, in Marseille,  under the leadership of their host, the now "President" Sarkozy,  for once consider the dire likely consequences of its shared responsibility for the destruction of European democracy, soon likely to move well beyond the merely economic?

How could Conservative MEPs vote not to respect the result of Ireland's referendum?

JUST HOW CAN THIS VOTE BE JUSTIFIED??

Only one MEP Tory member of the EPP is reported to have supported this Amendment 32 which required the European Parliament to respect the result of the Irish Referendum.

Why are the Tories still members of the EPP, led by Hans-Gert Poettering who on Radio 4 this morning claimed powerlessness to publish details of fraud in the EU parliament.

How dare David Cameron continue the farce of the sham procedures in parliament on the Lisbon Treaty?

How dare David Cameron claim he favours a referendum for the people of Britain on this disgraceful Treaty, that he will not 'let matters rest there', yet allows his own party members in Strasbourg to vote to disregard the democratically voiced will of the Irish people should they choose to consign this constitution to the rubbish bin of history where it properly belongs in any institution pretending democratic credentials????

At Last! Daniel Hannan MEP ejected from the EPP EU Group!

The contribution to the European Parliament's so-called debates, which earned the outspoken eurosceptic MEP the ejection from the federalist EPP, of which every British Conservative should be ashamed to acknowledge their Party still belongs (in spite of the promises of Cameron their hopeless leader), may be viewed on the video from YouTube, linked in the posting below to be found about seven minutes into the clip.
