Can I Have A Job?

So, as expected, the Irish voted "Yes" for the Lisbon Treaty. They voted 2:1 in favour, which reflects the economic situation of Ireland more than it really represents the wishes of the Irish people. Interestingly, it was Sinn Fein that, of all political organisations, came out most strongly against. Perhaps they thought that having fought to break from the bonds of Britain they did not want to be tied by new bonds from the EU. The Irish vote is bad for all of us. This much is made clear by the manoeuvring that has started already for various dead or dying politicians to set themselves up for lucrative new positions in this growing monstrosity. Every new post will require yet more armies of paper shifters in Brussels and the people of Europe will forfeit yet more authority and powers to the EU. It is rumoured already that Cheri Blair is house hunting in Brussels. If her self-righteous husband becomes the new EU president, she will carry on her legal activities commuting regularly to/from London. It should be noted that not one of us will be consulted about these new appointments. The EU Old Boys Club will pass the Jobs around giving every useless politician a turn at the top job so that they can each walk away with a good pension and the golden goodbyes to feather-bed their declining years.

The EU will, inevitably, be dominated by Germany and German tax-payers will want their representatives to get them value for the vast sums they pour into the EU coffers. David "call me Dave" Cameron has promised a UK referendum if the Lisbon Treaty has not been ratified by they time they form a government - June 2010 if they win the election. The dead politicians already aboard the EU gravy train will do everything possible to bamboozle the Czechs into ratifying the treaty before the British get the chance to wreck it. The opposition to the EU in Britain is still considerable and no pro-EU group would want to risk a referendum. The EU only accepts referendums when they give the right answers. No member country has ever had a referendum, said "no" and had their way. The French and Dutch rejections of the new constitution resulted in the Lisbon Treaty - that neither country's leaders needed to submit to a new referendum. It was a con trick and everyone knows it was a con trick. But that is the EU. This foul conglomerate; this Tower of Babel; this insult to democracy; this bureaucratic muck heap; this politicians gravy train; this money wasting talking shop. Politicians love it and that alone must be reason to oppose it
