So Achilles has finally come out of his tent and, at last, a victorious end to the forty year Eurosceptic siege of Brussels can be seen on the horizon.In one apparent glorious shift of the tectonic plates, Boris’s ‘outing’ has succeeded in turning the marginal into the mainstream. Euroscepticism, once the territory of Mr Cameron’s mad swivel-eyed loons, has overnight morphed into the acceptable stuff of polite metrosexual liberal dinner party conversations. Johnson and Gove between them have provided its new and acceptable face.
The EU plan to take over the UK’s criminal justice, ending the era of Magna Carta. Vanessa is inspired to present an article by Torquil Dick-Erikson’s on this take over – so you can spread the word to support the Leave vote.
Vanessa reads an enlightening article by Alan Sked who was an original founder of ‘The Referendum Party’ which became the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), and while he is now a notable critic of UKIP, his views on the EU and the need for UK to leave it remain as solid as ever!
Vanessa reads a historic report on Churchill’s speech to parliament following the Dunkirk evacuation near the start of WW2. This is followed by the much lauded speech by Hillary Benn MP (son of Tony Benn) which wound up the recent debate on allowing the RAF to mount air-strikes against ISIS in Syria.
