Can German and French Greed deliver us from evil?

EDF did much around the Olympics to con the British public they were somehow British with a particularly gratuitous commercial campaign.

Electricité de France, for which the letters EDF of course stands is very much a creature of the French State while E.ON another Continental Energy company that has Britain by the gonads comes from Germany.

Hopefully the 10;8% energy price rises imposed by EDF yesterday will begin to make these realities clearer to the broader public and hopefully bring a change in their ill-informed attitude of nonchalence and/or indifference to the EU.

Such a "sea change" or even "turning of the worm" is badly needed to render no longer acceptable the sort of political games, whereby the leading figures of our establishment have sold out our democracy and independence, for either material gain, position and imagined prestige or more perverted objectives of which we are only now being made aware.

Such an attitude of disdain towards the peoples concerns about the evil EU was on display yesterday in Parliament when the Coalition Government tried to extend earlier debate to prevent this attempt to remove usfrom the EU to proceed:

Discerning the real evil within the EU

It took me many years of blogging before I confronted reality and ascribed the word evil to the EU. I was then almost alone in its use! More recently others are beginning to grasp this essential truth. Although yet reluctant to fully endorse the word, others in the past few days are clearly reaching that same conclusion. I quote John Ward in The Slog, who under a post headline on the Nazification of Europe, includes the following:

But what I cannot get even remotely chuckle-happy about is the failure of the British political elite to do anything beyond poking rather cowardly fun at these hobgoblins. The Tories see the evil and don't care, the LibDems see the evil as a means to a great end, and Labour couldn't see evil if it was a horned red Devil poking it in the eye with a trident.

That article links to Bruno Waterfield, who as a member of the MSM still shrinks from the word that can best summarise his own conclusions, in Spiked, linked here, he ponders on the fiskalpakt and the plot to undermine the campaign of French Presidential candidateFrançois Hollande, which has now to his personal shame, been joined by British PM David Cameron. Mr Waterfield's article has the following:

The nightmare for the EU elite is the precedent that would be set by a national electorate deciding to reject the economic mismanagement and high-handed diktat that has characterised the Eurozone’s handling of the economic crisis. Besides, the horrible prospect of a nation being able to choose its fiscal and economic policies through democratic debate and the ballot box is what the fiskalpakt is designed to prevent in the first place. The ‘Treaty for stability, coordination and governance’ enshrines and enforces ‘debt brakes’ and ‘golden rules’ aimed at securing the EU’s current economic policy in perpetuity.

I assume if asked to describe what term might best be used to describe an elite adopting such policies, Bruno Waterfield, would in all probability pick something coming so close to evil, as to be indistinguishable from it!
