Eurosceptic: my fucking arsehole

Posted by Devil's Kitchen at 11/08/2009 10:28:00 PM

As EU Referendum helpfully points out, a number of MSM commenters—including Benedict "Benny" Brogan, Danny "The Fink" Finkelstein1 and Matthew "Fat Tit" D'Ancona2—have all proclaimed Dave's new strategy as a pragmatic and achievable Eurosceptic policy.

Pragmatic and achievable his policy may be—Eurosceptic it most certainly is not.
After abandoning plans to hold a referendum on Europe, following last week’s ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, Mr Hague said the Tories accepted that constitutional reform would not be on the EU agenda for some years.

And while the party remained Euro-sceptic, a Conservative Government would not get into a “bust-up” over its new policy of seeking to negotiate opt-outs in a number of areas of European policy and pass a sovereignty bill to stop further powers being repatriated for some time to come.

Until then, he agreed that it would effectively be “business as usual” for Britain within Europe under the Tories.

So, let's recap.
  • No referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

  • No referendum on Dave's renegotiation proposal, i.e. something that would give Dave a strong bargaining position.

  • No referendum on Britain's membership of the EU—the very proposal of which would give Dave an even stronger bargaining position.

  • A policy for repatriation of powers that wouldn't fool anyone who knows anything about how the EU operates for more than 5 and a half seconds.

  • No attempt to even bargain for repatriation of powers for "some years"—by which time the Tories hope to have their feet nicely under the table so that they can tell the EUsceptics to bugger off.

So, it really is "business as usual" under the Tories. So, more freedoms destroyed, a Westminster weakened even more by a bunch of traitorous spivs, and the usual round of hypocrisy, lies and thievery from the disgusting little bastards in an increasingly pointless Parliament.

I can't wait.

1 The Fink, of course, is the disgusting apologist for the persecution and exposure of the blogger known as Night Jack on the grounds that his anonymity compromised trust in him. Nevertheless, The Fink is more than happy to use anonymous quotes when it suits him.

2 Matthew D'Ancona is the Europhile Cameron sycophant who buggered up The Spectator until they (allegedly) sacked him.

Doh, what did we expect?

They were the party that took us into Europe after all, and many of their number have benefited handsomely from it.

Why do they not see that which is so clear: The newly revived post-Lisbon Europe only diminishes their power at home?

Well, no alternative, vote for UKIP. I expect their vote in the general election to at least double compared with last time.

Cameron might well have eurosceptic inclinations but he's evidently been purchased by the EU in a "Scupper the eurosceptics for us, old chap, and we'll look after you" kinda way.

They're as bad as the rest of them. They don't even support the one vision of Europe that they do consistantly articulate - that of a European free trade bloc. Why are there no Tory noises in support of Right2Bet's grassroots campaign to liberalise online gambling law? See www.right2bet.net for the petition; sometimes it's better to just leapfrog these cowards and go straight to where the power lies - Brussels.

Didn't take long to ditch that load of promises then. As someone else said "vote blue, get EU". Still it was his party that got us in the sh*t in the first place so no surprise there then.
