Cameron adds EU referendum to Tory manifesto

Cameron: The EU's Baby

David Cameron announced today that the Conservative manifesto for the next election will contain a promise to hold a referendum on European Union membership. Yes, the much publicised promise is no more than a promise that the Tory manifesto will have some sort of referendum involving EU membership.

The pro-EU lobby has turned this tawdry announcement into a media circus. One thing that all pro-EU interests, from Cameron to Merkel, can agree on is that they do not want UKIP to win many seats at the next election or encourage Tories to defect to UKIP. To stop UKIP the entire media circus, Obama and any pro-EU friends have been brought together to help Cameron get maximum publicity for an election pledge.

Are the British happy that the entire EU Establishment, the Labour, Tory and Lib Dem parties and the media have all lined up against them? The majority of British people would vote to leave the EU but they are being bullied and forced to stay in. The sheer power of the EU Establishment is terrifying. We must leave the EU.

What of Cameron's promise? Firstly Cameron is unlikely to win the next election, secondly the Tories break their election pledges - on immigration for example, and lastly his "promise" allows him to make up any type of referendum question. Anyone who is fooled by this manoeuvre must be weak in the head.

The Falklands have always been Argentine - Las Malvinas son Argentinas

"The Falklands have always been Argentine" is taught to every Argentine child as a matter of faith. What was Argentina during the time when it "always" possessed Las Malvinas? In this article I will trace the history of Argentina in the context of its physical and political relationship with "Las Malvinas", the Falkland Islands. The Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands dates from a brief episode in 1831-32 so it is like Canada claiming the USA despite two centuries of separate development. This might sound like ancient history but Argentina has gone to war for this ancient claim so the following article is well worth reading. For a summary of the legal case see: Las Malvinas: The Legal Case Argentina traces its origins to Spanish South America when it was part of the Viceroyalty of the Rio del Plata. The Falklands lay off the Viceroyalty of Peru, controlled by the Captain General of Chile. In 1810 the Falklands were far from the geographical b

Practical Idealism by Richard Nicolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi

Coudenhove-Kalergi was a pioneer of European integration. He was the founder and President for 49 years of the Paneuropean Union. His parents were Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, and Mitsuko Aoyama, the daughter of an oil merchant, antiques-dealer, and huge landowner family in Tokyo. His "Pan-Europa" was published in 1923 and contained a membership form for the Pan-Europa movement. Coudenhove-Kalergi's movement held its first Congress in Vienna in 1926. In 1927 the French Prime Minister, Aristide Briand was elected honorary president. Personalities attending included: Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann and Sigmund Freud. Figures who later became central to founding the EU, such as Konrad Adenauer became members . His basic idea was that democracy was a transitional stage that leads to rule by a new aristocracy that is largely taken from the Jewish "master race" (Kalergi's terminology). His movement was reviled by Hitler and H

Membership of the EU: pros and cons

5th December 2013, update May 2016 Nigel Lawson, ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, recently criticised the UK membership of the EU , the media has covered his mainstream view as if he is a bad boy starting a fight in the school playground, but is he right about the EU? What has changed that makes EU membership a burning issue? What has changed is that the 19 countries of the Eurozone are now seeking political union to escape their financial problems. Seven further EU countries have signed up to join the Euro but the British and Danish have opted out. The EU is rapidly becoming two blocks - the 26 and Britain and Denmark. Lawson's fear was that if Britain stays in the EU it will be isolated and dominated by a Eurozone bloc that uses "unified representation of the euro area" , so acting like a single country which controls 90% of the vote in the EU with no vetoes available to the UK in most decisions. The full plans for Eurozone political union ( EMU Stage
