Our Man in Havana is........A Bulgarian

An EU Foreign Minister ('High Representative for Foreign Affairs' in EU DoubleSpeak) only became a legal reality just 53 days ago. First appointee Baroness Ashton of UpMoscow has yet to be confirmed in office. The EU Diplomatic Service ('External Action Service' or 'EAS' in EU DoubleSpeak) likewise is 56 days old: yet already it has opened 50 'EU Embassies' across the world. That was quick, I hear you say.

Where There's Brass, There's Muck

Here's another angle on the scam that is Carbon Trading. When debit cards were first introduced in the UK I prosecuted several supermarket checkout girls who had been helping themselves to customer's money using the newly introduced cards. The company security officer witness told me that it took their staff under a week from the moment of introduction to work out how to steal using the cards.

Titter Ye Not At John Selwyn Gummer

John Selwyn Gummer, a used leftover from the Major years still to be found peddling EuroCrap in the House of Commons, has announced his retirement from Parliament. This will bring belated Christmas cheer to all free-born Englishmen for this is a genuine dyed-in-the-wool member of the EuroTaleban. A Champagne day, then. His observations to the East Anglian Daily Times (EADT24) (Hattip: ConHome) concerning his departure are, however, utterly beyond parody:

Lithuania: The EU Bill Falls Due

Lithuanians were doubtless told in 2003 - as many an aspiring EU member had been before and will be again - that joining the European Union would bring jobs, prosperity, streets paved with gold, fields filled to brimming with milk and honey, peace, Eden and mother's apple pie all rolled into one.

“Work makes you free” sign theft conspiracy theories

Neo-Nazi attack? Dark forces acting to make Poland look bad? The theft of the "Arbeit macht frei" sign from Gate I at the site of the former Nazi death camp at Auschwitz, recovered today and five arrested in northern Poland, has been a sign of the times - when everything has a conspiracy behind it.

Smuggo: A Prophet Without Honour

It is devoutly to be hoped that history will be profoundly unkind to Anthony Blair. No man has had a more malign effect, by a very long chalk, on British politics and the British body politic than this charlatan of a snake oil salesman. His words of hurt indignation at the galling disdain of his fellow countrymen reported this weekend will have brought pleasure to many.

eBorders Leak Through EU Sieve

The Treaty on the Functioning of The European Union (TFEU) may not be Joe Public's bedside reading - like all Eurospeak documents it is not exactly accessible to ordinary folk - but time and again it comes back to kick the interests of the British People in the teeth. Now it has carefully trashed the heart of Labour's much vaunted eBorders scheme, effectuvely neutering it.

Comrade Ashton of UpMoscow Speaks

Baroness Ashton of UpMoscow, lately the doxy of one Duncan Rees, erstwhile General-Secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain, has relieved herself over the leader pages of The Times of her first pensées as the Andrei Gromyko of the EU. They are, for someone who has risen, as they say, without trace, predictably anodyne.

The BBC Used to Believe in Global Cooling....

As I listen yet again to the Government Propaganda Service (aka The BBC) allowing an Anthropogenic Globing Warming fanatic oodles of unfettered and unchallenged airtime asserting that he is right and we are wrong, I was reminded of another time when the BBC was just as determined to persuade us that we were on the cusp of a new Ice Age.

Between The Devil & The Deep Pinky-Blue Sea

The current dip in the Conservative Party's poll ratings have brought on considerable jitters in its ranks. Labour has seized on it as evidence that the game is still on and all is to play for. But it has also sharpened the nature of the personal decision that some voters will have to make about their vote come the General Election.

Cowardly Gordon Brown Plays 'War Hero'

Our Prime Minister may be many things but courageous is most certainly not one of them. Exigencies of space militate against a lengthy adumbration of examples of his gutlessness but his bottling of a mandate-seeking General Election two years ago will come to most minds. Nor does one need to indulge in a litany of his other egregious character flaws to remind us that this Prime Minister is quite the most unpleasant individual to occupy Number 10 Downing Street in several lifetimes.

Lisbon's Bills Fall Due

First Nicolas Sarkozy's personal attack dog, Michel Barnier, was installed as EU Commissioner in charge of the single market. Now a French Poodle has picked up the Agriculture Brief.

UK PM Brown Snubbed By Wounded Brit Soldiers

UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown is decidedly unpopular among Britain's wounded warriors, and apparently many of them have no problems showing it. At the Selly Oak hospital in Birmingham where some of the most severely wounded from Afghanistan are being treated, more than half the soldiers deliberately avoided Brown when he visited.

No sex please…we’re Danish?

Something is rotten in the capital of Denmark. Prostitutes are offering free sex in protest against a local government campaign urging Copenhagen climate change delegates to steer clear of the city’s brothels. Thirty thousand delegates will be joined by scores of human trafficers and their cargo, if the Copenhagen local government is to be believed.

Such is the twist into which protagonists of Anthropogenic Global Warming have got their knickers following the so-called 'Warmergate Scandal' exposing their trickery to the light of day that at least one of its more rabid puffers, one Ed Miliband (scion of a foreign Marxist professor) has come out as the Felix Dzerzhinsky of his day.

Hague: 'I'll Dilly-Dally All The Way To Brussels'

It is bad enough that the Tories, who will, barring some unforeseen event, form the next 'government' of the United Kingdom, should have reneged upon their 'cast-iron' promise to hold a referendum on the EU Constitution (ake The Lisbon or Zombie Treaty). Now comes news from the horse's mouth that the Tories' EU policy upon coming into power will amount to inaction, procrastination and William Hague examining his navel very, very, very carefully.

So There It Is. There Will Be No Conservative Referendum.

But there will be a manifesto commitment to renegotiate. What does that mean? That's the problem. No one can know at this stage what events will trigger, or where the conflict will come. But at some point, there will be a national outcry, not just a eurosceptic outcry. It is then that Cameron should deploy his forces to wrest power away from the EU.

Mr Darling does a banking u turn

When you know the EU is going to impose a policy on your branch government which differs from the one you're following at present, get in and change your policy first, so that it looks as if you're still in control. You may emerge as a contradictory ditherer, but at least the contradictions spring from your own head and are not a result of having them imposed on you. ...

Comedians Lead Fightback Against EU

Reading the EU tea-leaves has never been harder. Will Lisbon be ratified? Will Klaus buckle? Will Blair be President? Will life in Europe become anti-democratic, and brutal? Where can you find anyone willing to write and explain what is going on, and how, if at all, the collosal power that the EU is hoping to consolidate over its member states will be stopped?

BBC Stages BNP AFU Street Theatre

A Lesson For The Guardian

The judge knew what they were doing. If anyone wanted to appeal, where would they go? The House Of Lords? Not any more. It would be the new ‘Supreme Court’ which is not a Supreme Court at all, but a junior court of the ECJ. If a case concerning Parliamentary Privilege were to appear before the ECJ, the appellant would lose.

Detailed Evidence Suggests Irish Referendum 2 was Rigged

The Presiding Officers in the following polling stations in and near Dublin, supposedly a high turnout area, gave their vote totals to unofficial election monitors associated with the COIR Campaign. The highest are 60%. The average a lot lower - maybe 50%. As Dublin was a high turnout area, it suggests that the officially claimed turnout figure of 59.7% was a false figure.

And on cue, he's gone dead on referendum talk. The media are the gate-keepers. The Conservatives are stranded.

Now is not the moment. The false quantitative mini-boom will not last. Share prices are being massively subsidised in the USA with an average $10 billion a day being released to buy shares by the Fed. This cannot go on forever, maybe another year but not more. The hope is that the real economy.. will be repaired by then, but there are simply too many debts.
