… surrender your will as of this date.

Traitor Blair has got so fed up with euroscepticism that he’s planning on spending millions of pounds of taxpayers money telling us how fabulous the European Federation is.

Actually, that’s not strictly true.  What he’s doing is banning references to EU directives, the European Commission, Brussels, Strasbourg and CAP and bigging up things like the Eurovision Song Contest, UEFA and Blue Flag beaches – none of which are anything to do with the EU but which apparently give the general public a nice warm fuzzy feeling about Europe.

That’s the theory anyway, the reality is different.

Euroscepticism is on the increase.  The EU and British government are so desperate for any glimmer of positive thoughts about the European Federation that they are reduced to pathetically claiming that people support the European Federation if they tell a federation pollster that they would like more information on how the European Federation works.  I’d like to know more about how it works as well but I’m a eurosceptic.  Sad isn’t it?

Under these new plans our taxes will be spent on a senior press officer for each Whitehall department to concentrate solely on pushing out pro-EU propaganda.  The idea was cooked up by Howell James, a friend of EU Commissioner Peter Mandelson.  James is paid £180k of our taxes to come up with propaganda for the British government.

This is a sad, sad, pathetic attempt to try and sell a corrupt and unwanted federal superstate.  Next to nobody in this country would piss on the European Federation if it was on fire.  Membership of the EU costs us around £52bn every year – that’s £873 for every man, woman and child in the UK.  That’s the financial cost taking into account all the “benefits” of being in the European Federations such as … oh, giving us some of our money back to build roads and … ah yes, being able to work in Poland for a sack of potatoes a week and all the turnip wine you can drink.  The non-financial cost in terms of the European Federation’s determined efforts to wipe our country off the map, undermining the sovereignty of our democratically (well, sort of) elected government and damaging our relations with the rest of the world is inestimable.  Even the Queen is an ordinary citizen under EU law for gods sake!  How long will it be before an enterprising German police officer turns up at Buckingham Palace with some trumped up EU arrest warrant for crimes against the German nation during the war and demands the Queen be extradited?  Ok, it’s unlikely but it could happen.
