Freezing in the Dark

In a few months time, in the midst of the next bleak mid-winter, British families could well be freezing in the dark, all thanks to the promise breaking and deepest treachery of their Government and its manifesto promise breaking back bench MPs and Peers joined by the equally treacherous Liberal/Democrats. Why? Start by reading this report on the growing crisis over Iran's nuclear weapons programme.


Now study this map of the narrow entrance to the Arabian Gulf at Quoin Island through which must pass nearly the entire oil exports of the Arabian/Persian Gulf. Note how it is dominated by Iran and remember that test firing of torpedoes recently occurred.

Now read these provisions of the new EU Lisbon Treaty due to come into force on 1st January next year, without the promised British referendum.

TEU Article 5:

2. Under the principle of conferral, the Union shall act only within the limits of the competences conferred upon it by the Member States in the Treaties to attain the objectives set out therein.

Competences not conferred upon the Union in the Treaties remain with the Member States.

Stealing Britain's dwindling Oil and Gas supplies!

According to the lamentable Sky News, Britain is still about 95 per cent self-sufficient in oil and gas. The EU , most likely, is much less than 30 self-sufficient in oil and gas. Figures are hard to obtain, as presently is immediate access to the Lisbon Treaty Energy Clauses which would require "allocation" of supplies in an emergency. (Instead of a British seat at any OECD or IEA oil allocating committee we will after 1/1/09 be represented by the EU). MPs of all parties better think hard on the implications of the latest report on Iran's nuclear programme, issued yesterday, and the likely backlash from hard-pressed British voters who in the event of a supply interruption will soon be asked to cut back some 70 per cent of their usage, rather than just 5 per cent on Sky News figures) had Lisbon not been ratified. The truck drivers protest is as nothing when considered against what might follow then! Tonight, Gordon Brown, after dithering, has agreed, in a Dublin conference, to scrap our stock of cluster bombs (no mention of their cost, so yet more money down the drain), but if we hung on to our own energy supplies, with ongoing defensive capabilities such that cluster bombs provide, who knows, we might even begin to pay off some of the horrendous indebtedness incurred by Gordon Brown! No chance! Oil, Gas, Income, Democracy, Industry, Fish, Agricultural independence and now Cluster Bombs will all be given away - FOR NOTHING!
