Clegg, And His Fear-Mongering

An odious little nobody squeals, and we are supposed to tremble in terror?

Do be brief, Cleggy. The only people terrified of a EuroZone collapse are politicians, bankers, and Marxists.

If you manage to get through this garbage without vomiting and/or checking on your piano-wire stocks, you are made of sterner stuff than I.

I'll do a little light fisking and you can complete the job in the comments.

His opening statement?

"Nick Clegg has warned that the break-up of the eurozone would have catastrophic consequences for Britain."

No, it wouldn't. Quite the opposite. Britons, and British businesses would benefit to the tune of £110 billion per year.

Then:

"The deputy prime minister said that the crisis could have "a direct effect on living standards in this country'."

He's right there. As well as being better off, we could, at last, delete 4,000 new "crimes" from the Rolls, and dump in excess of 135,000 EU regulations. Liberty wins. Our economy wins.

Further on he opines:

"He warned Tory eurosceptics about the risk of a break-up, saying: "Be careful what you wish for."

Look where being "careful" got us? Our freedoms slashed as if they were an irritant, rather than devices to protect us. Being "careful" sees us handing out billions of £££'s to the unelected, unaccountable and the downright irresponsible.

And:

"He said:''We are not an island economy, we can't turn our back on the rest of the world,'' he said."

Yes, we are, it has served us well for centuries, and why would we be turning our backs? Norway and Switzerland, to name but two, seem to cope extremely well."In Europe, but not married to it" would do just fine.

And:

"He said by ''taking the action we did'' Britain had ''moved out of the danger zone''."

That's right Nick. Because now we are wrapped in cotton-wool, eh? Safe as houses, right? Perhaps you could explain why the thought of further integration with Europe scares the bejesus out of me, and everybody I talk to about the Glorious Fourth Reich?

Lastly:

"Mr Clegg said he was "not a starry-eyed, naive believer in all things which have the European flag attached to it" but was a passionate advocate of an open, liberal single market."

You could have fooled us, Cleggy. But then, perhaps it's because we are not thinking long-term, like you. We do not have glittering careers ahead of us in the EU parliament and all the perks that brings with it. In my opinion, the only politicians worth listening to are those defending Britain, not those who give it away, piece by blood-soaked piece, to a sinister group of men and women who care more for themselves and this insane idea that 27 nations can and will sing from the same hymn sheet despite being as different as chalk and cheese.

We need to get out. We need to get out today. Right now. Before those trapped in the Westminster Bubble really do our nation harm. I cannot recall anyone giving the governemt permission to give our nation away to anyone. The last two polls are crystal clear: the British public want to be out of the EU. The Labour Party did itself untold damage by ignoring the electorate. Smart people learn from other people's mistakes.

The onus is on you, me, and every Briton who wants to be able to call him/herself a Briton in the years to come. It's time to save our country from the politicians.

Just to be clear:

I am not a European. I am an Englishman and I am a Briton.

The Union Flag, Cleggy. Have a look at it, and have someone explain to you what it means. Have them explain how many millions have died defending that flag, have them remind you what WWI and WWII were all about. It seems you are criminally unaware of British history.

As a personal favour to me, grab the nearest EU flag and shove it where the sun don't shine.

It will be uncomfortable, but, you are a traitor. You deserve gaol, not just a minor discomfort, and it may serve to focus your mind on the bigger picture.

CR.
