The New

European

Constitution

proposes to give the

EU

the constitutional form

of a
State

by four logical legal steps:

(1) It repeals the existing EU and EC treaties and thereby abolishes the
existing European Union and Community (Article IV-437);

(2) It establishes in their place what would constitutionally, legally and
politically be quite a new European Union, based like any State upon its
own Constitution (Article I-1);

(3) It asserts the primacy of this Constitution and laws made under it
over
the Constitutions and laws of its Member States (Article I-6);

(4) It gives this new Union legal personality for the first time so that
it
may conduct itself as a State amongst the international community of
States (Article I-7).


The Constitution also proposes important changes in the rules of running the EU. It would surrender some 60 further areas of national policy or decision-making to Brussels. It would take significant steps towards
militarizing the EU. It would give the new Union the power to decide our
basic rights for the first time in all areas covered by EU law, which is
now vast and growing.


Most national political leaders can be expected to take a wholly
uncritical
view of the EU Constitution because the more national powers are
transferred to Brussels, the more power accrues to themselves personally,

as
they make supranational laws for 450 million people on the 25-member EU
Council of Ministers. However citizens lose their power to decide their
own
laws thereby. They lose their right to political self-determination and
their national independence and democracy.


Every effort has been made to ensure that the legal facts on the proposed Constitution in this 12-point Summary are correct.

 

The political judgments are of course a matter of opinion.


In the comments below on the national vetoes abolished we have drawn on the
valuable legal notes on the Constitution carried on the web-site of the
British Vote No Campaign, www.vote-no.com, as well as on

PS. On another matter entirely: the Irish Minister for Justice stated
recently that if identity cards were introduced in the UK, they would be
introduced in the Republic of Ireland also so as to safeguard the
Anglo-Irsh travel area. Mr Tony Blair's policy on identity cards in
Britain
stems ultimately from his commitment to EU integration. When citizens in
all EU countries carry identity cards, these would doubtless be
"harmonized"
like passports, and all carry the EU flag as part of the new Union's
"common area of freedom and justice". It is disconcerting in these
circumstances to read that it is Britain's ultra-Europhile Lib-Dems who
are
opposing this policy. One would think that there should be rich electoral
dividends to be reaped by any UK politicians who can link opposition to
this assault on traditional British liberties with criticism of the EU as
its ultimate source?

· INTRODUCTION

Below is a 12-point summary of the EU Constitution, which is contained in
the "Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe" that was signed in October 2004.

· Some 10 countries will be holding referendums on this between now and autumn 2006.

· Download the "Reader-Friendly Edition of the EU Constitution", which will give you its full text, together with a useful index, glossary and other information, from http://www.euabc

The Constitution has 448 Articles and is divided into four parts,indicated
by Roman numerals.It has 36 Protocols and 48 political Declarations
attached and is over 400 pages long.


WHERE THE EU CONSTITUTION CAME FROM


In 2001 the Laeken Declaration of EU Presidents and Prime Ministers set up
the "Convention on the Future of Europe" to consider the widely
acknowledged problem of the lack of democracy in the EU, and how to make the EU less centralised and bring it closer to citizens.

· The Declaration
referred to the possibility of restoring powers from the EU to its Member
States and mentioned the drafting of a Constitution only as a possibility
"in the long run". But instead of making proposals for a more democratic and less centralised EU, the Euro-federalists who dominated the Convention rushed headlong into drafting a Constitution which proposes replacing the existing EU by a new Union in the constitutional form of an EU Federation.

· The Constitution they drafted does not propose restoring a single power
from Brussels to the Member States, but instead shifts many more powers
from the Member States to Brussels. One reason why most national political leaders can be expected to take a wholly uncritical view of it is that every transfer of national power to Brussels increases their own personal
power at EU level, where they make laws for 450 million Europeans on the
EU Council of Ministers.

· At national level Government Ministers are part of the executive arm of government and require the support of elected national parliaments for their policies. At EU level these same people are transformed into supranational legislators for over half a continent. It is unsurprising that this appeals to Ministers and aspiring Ministers.

· This huge increase in the power of a tiny number of politicians comes at at the expense of a reduced say for ordinary citizens, the loss of their right to decide who will make their laws and with it their national independence
and democracy.

· 12-POINT SUMMARY


1.THE CONSTITUTION WOULD GIVE THE EU THE CONSTITUTIONAL FORM OF A STATE:


The "Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe" sets out to create an entirely new, totally different and vastly more powerful EU entity in the constitutional form of a Federal European State, without changing the "EU" name.


What is called the "European Union" at present  is  a descriptive term for
various forms of cooperation between its Member States(See Title 1,Article
A, of the Maastricht Treaty on European Union,1993). One of these forms is the European Community (EC). This still exists. It has legal personality separate from its Member States, all 25 of which still belong to it.

·  

· In the 1960s the EC Court of Justice declared Community(EC) law to be supranational and to have  primacy over national law in any case of conflict between the two, although this has never been laid down in any
Treaty.

·  

· The European Community(EC) covers mainly the economic and single
market area, including the euro-currency.  Here the Community Member States are regarded as having "pooled" their sovereignty and the EC Commission as having the exclusive right to propose EC laws.


In all other areas of government the EU Member States have retained their
independence and sovereignty, and cooperate with one another as free and
equal partners internationally, or "intergovernmentally" in EU
terminology: in  foreign and military matters, crime and justice matters, and national
policy  on health, housing, education,social security, culture etc.

·  

· If the proposed Constitution were ratified we would stand to lose our
independence from the EU in such areas.


The proposed Treaty-cum-Constitution would equip the EU with teeth.

· The "European Union" that we are currently members of refers to all these different forms of cooperation taken together.

· However the present EU does
not have legal personality or an independent corporate existence  in its
own right. There is therefore, strictly speaking, no such thing as
"European Union" law, only "European Community" or "EC" law. 

· The Constitution's supporters generally mix up the terms "Union" and "Community" to prevent people realising that the proposed new European Union, based on its own Constitution, would in legal and political terms be fundamentally different from the EU that we are currently members of.

·  

· The new Union would become our real sovereign. We would be real citizens of it for the first time, not just honorary ones as we are told we are at
present, and we would owe it and its institutions real allegiance.


JUST FOUR STEPS TO A SUPERSTATE:


The "Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe" gives the EU the
constitutional form of a European Federation in four logical legal steps:

STEP ONE is to repeal all the previous European treaties from the 1957
Treaty of Rome to the 2003 Nice Treaty and thereby abolish the  existing
European Union and European Community. Article IV-437 provides: "This
Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe shall repeal the Treaty
establishing the European Community, the Treaty on European Union and...
the acts and treaties which have supplemented and amended them."


STEP TWO is to establish in their place what is constitutionally,legally
and politically quite a new European Union,founded like any State upon its
own Constitution. Article I-1 provides: "Reflecting the will of the
citizens and States of Europe to build a common future, this Constitution
establishes the European Union..."   A Constitution in this context, as
distinct from a Treaty, is an independent source of legal authority for a
State. The EU Constitution lays down that the new Union would be the legal
successor of the existing EU and EC and that it would take over the
100,000
or so pages of existing Community law, as the Community would be
henceforth
defunct(Art.IV-438). Those pushing the Constitution believe that because
the same name,"European Union",is used before and after, people will not
notice the enormous legal-political significance of the change being
proposed.


STEP THREE is to lay down that the EU Constitution and laws made under it
shall have primacy over the law, including the Constitutional Law,of its
Member States, just as in any Federal State, without any qualification or
exclusions. Article I-6 provides:

·  

· "The Constitution and law adopted by the
institutions of the Union in exercising competences conferred on it shall
have primacy over the law of the Member States."

· This primacy of
supranational European law has never been stated in a European Treaty
before. Unlike the present EU and the treaties it is based on, which
recognise that Member States remain independent and sovereign in certain
areas, the proposed Constitution for this new Union would bring ALL areas of government policy within its scope either actually or potentially.

· The EU Constitution would become the fundamental source of legal authority for the new Union, supplanting the national constitutions of the Member States
in that respect,and national constitutions and laws would have to bechanged to recognise this fact.

·  

· The superiority of the EU over its MemberStates is also evident in the important second sentence of Article I-1
which establishes the new Union: "The Union shall coordinate  the policies
by which the Member States aim to achieve these objectives(i.e.the
objectives and values they have in common), and shall exercise on a
Community basis the competences they confer on it." 

· As Convention
Chairman
V.Giscard d'Estaing has remarked: "It wasn't worth creating a negative
commotion with the British. I rewrote my text with the word federal
replaced by communautaire, which means exactly the same thing."

STEP FOUR is for the EU Constitution to give this new European Union legal
personality and its own separate corporate existence for the first time,
so that it can make treaties in its own right with other States and conduct
itself as a State in the international community of States. Article I-7
provides: "The Union shall have legal personality."  This Article would
make the new EU legally separate from its Members, just as the USA
Federation is separate from its constituent members states such as Texas or New York, which retain their own state constitutions but are subordinate
to
the US Constitution.


By these four steps the "Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe"
would establish a new European Union in the constitutional form of a
Federal European State, within which the present sovereign Member States
would have the constitutional form of provinces or regions.

·  

· This new
federal EU would not yet have all the powers of a fully-fledged
Federation.
The two principal powers it would lack  would be the power to levy taxes
and to compel its component members to go to war against their will. [YET]

· But
otherwise it would possess all the main  features of Statehood, including
those set out in the Montevideo Convention governing the recognition of
States in international law. Those pushing the EU integration project are
confident the EU will obtain these two remaining powers in time. The
Constitution  gives the EU flag, anthem, motto and annual Europe Day a
legal
basis in a European treaty  for the first time,as the State symbols of the
EU Federation it establishes(Art.I-8).


2. INSTITUTIONAL CHANGES MADE BY THE EU CONSTITUTION:


The Constitution  would replace the system of weighted voting for making
EU
laws that was agreed in the Nice Treaty to allow for EU enlargement, by a new "double majority" system of States and populations(Art.I-25).

· This
would mean that 55% of the Member States, at least 15, could outvote 10 as
long as they included 65% of the EU's total population.


The Constitution would abolish some 60 further national vetoes on areas of
EU public policy-making or decision-taking, in addition to those already
abolished by the Nice Treaty and earlier treaties(See the list below).

·  

· The
abolition of the national veto in so many policy areas, so that countries
can increasingly be out-voted by other countries on new EU laws, would
cost us crucial influence in the EU Council of Ministers. This is the 25-member body that makes EU laws based on proposals from the Commission. On it each
Member State has one Minister out of 25 and has a percentage of the EU's
total population weight.


Influence is based on power - without the power to veto EU laws, we can
make our views about them known but there is no reason why they should be
taken into account. The proposed shift to a mainly population-based
system
for EU law-making would make it easier for Big States to get their way,
especially if they combine, as France and Germany continually do, and
would
reduce the relative voting strength of medium-sized States.

· It would make
EU laws easier to pass,which means there would be more of them.  Ministers
claim this would be an increase in efficiency, but more EU laws do not
necessarily mean better ones.


The Constitution would also create a full-time EU President for up to five
years by majority vote of the EU Presidents and Prime Ministers(Art.I-22).
This new EU President would be a considerably more powerful figure than
the existing rotating Council presidents and would preside over EU "summit"
meetings, yet would not be directly elected by voters or even the European
Parliament. The Constitution also provides for a rotating EU Commission so
that individual Member States would have no representative for one-third
of
the time on this body that proposes EU laws to the Council of Ministers,
which then makes them(Art.I-26).



3. THE NEW EU'S EXCLUSIVE AND TREATY-MAKING POWERS:


The Constitution would give the new Union sole and "exclusive" legal power to decide policy  as regards trade tariffs and quotas, monetary policy for the eurozone, competition rules for the internal market,fisheries
conservation and trade agreements with other countries(Art.I-13).

· The EU's
sole power to sign international treaties with other States in these areas
would be extended to cover international agreements arising from other Union policies(Art.I-13.2). Together with the treaties to be signed under
the Common Foreign and Security Policy or by the new EU Foreign
Minister(see Point 6 below), the Constitution would deprive Member States of most of their present treaty-making powers (Art.III-323).


4. THE NEW EU'S SHARED POWERS WITH ITS MEMBER STATES:


The Constitution lists a wide range of government policies where power is
stated to be "shared" between the EU and its Member States(Art.I-14).
These
include the internal market, social policy, agriculture and fisheries,
environment, consumer protection, transport, energy, the area of freedom,
security and justice, and "common safety concerns in public health
matters".


This is a peculiar kind of sharing, for as the new Union is
constitutionally
primary or superior, the power of elected governments to make laws unless
the EU decides not to is essentially residual and on sufferance.Thus
Article I-12 provides: "The Member States shall exercise  their competence
to the extent that the Union has not exercised, or has decided to cease
exercising, its competence."


5. THE NEW EU'S SUPPORTING, COORDINATING AND COMPLEMENTARY POWERS:


The Constitution would give the EU the power to take "supporting,
co-ordinating or complementary action" in a further range of
vaguely-defined areas including the "protection and improvement of human
health", industry, culture,tourism,  education, youth, sport, vocational
training, civil protection and administrative co-operation(Art.I-17).


It would give the EU new powers to "co-ordinate" economic, employment and
social policies(Arts.I-15). A Federal cooordinator would be superior to
the
constituent states it coordinates and the new EU would be constitutionally
required to coordinate all policies by which the Member States aim to
achieve the very wide objectives and values they have in
common(Arts.I-1,second sentence, and I-3). Article III-210 lists the many
areas of social policy where the EU would have the right to "support and
complement" the activities of Member States. Article III-147 would allow
the EU to enforce the "liberalisation" and privatisation of
"services",which would include public services like health, education,
social security and housing, as well as cultural services.



6. THE NEW EU'S FOREIGN POLICY AND MILITARY POWERS:


The Constitution would give the new Union the power to "define and
implement" a common foreign and security policy which would "cover all
areas of foreign policy" and which Member States would be required to
"actively and unreservedly support in a spirit of loyalty and mutual
solidarity".

·  

· It would impose on Member States a new obligation to  "comply with" the Union's actions in foreign policy, as against the existing
treaty requirement to "support" these (Art.I-16;ex-Art.11TEU).


A State could be referred to the EU Court of Justice for breach of its
obligations under this Article, as the Court is not excluded from acting
in relation to it(Art.III-376).


Member States would be constitutionally obliged to consult one another in the EU Council  "on any foreign and security policy issue which is of general interest in order to determine a common approach" and  "before undertaking any action on the international scene or any commitment which could affect the Union's interests"(Art.I-40). These provisions clearly rule out an EU Member State  pursuing an independent foreign policy.


The Constitution would create an EU Foreign Minister, who would be
responsible for conducting the common foreign and security policy and would preside over the Council of national Foreign Ministers. These nationally elected politicians would come and go while the EU Foreign Affairs Minister presided for five years (Art.I-28).

· The Constitution also provides that
"When the Union has defined a position on a subject which is on the United Nations Security Council agenda, those Member States which sit on the Security Council shall request that the Union Minister for Foreign Affairs be asked to present the Union's position"(Art.III-305).

· The Constitution would also create an EU diplomatic service(Art.III-296). It would clear the way for the EU to negotiate, sign and ratify international treaties on foreign policy and security matters on behalf of its Member
States(Arts.III-323 and 325). It would delete the clause in the current
treaties which allows Member States to opt out of international agreements
if their constitutions require them to be ratified by national parliaments(Art.III-325;ex-Art.24.5TEU).


The Constitution would require all Member States, including the neutral ones, to "make civilian and military capabilities available to the Union for the implementation of the common security and defence policy" and to"undertake progressively to improve their military capabilities"(Art.I-41)

· This provision amounts to a constitutional obligation on Member States to work towards a more militarized EU.


The provision in the Nice Treaty that the progressive framing of a common
EU defence policy "MIGHT LEAD to a common defence, SHOULD the EuropeanCouncil decide" (Art.17TEU), becomes in the Constitution that it "WILL LEAD to a common defence, WHEN the European Council,acting unanimously, so decides"(Art.I-41). The formal ending of the neutrality of the neutrals is clearly only a matter of time.


The Constitution would permit a sub-group of Member States to be formed by qualified majority vote in the military and defence area, even though some EU Members may be opposed to that(Art.III-312).

·  

Such a sub-group, to be known as "permanent structured cooperation", would be empowered to make special military arrangements among themselves, establish

 

EU"battle-groups"

 

and undertake military missions abroad without involving other EU members "in accordance with the principle of a single set of forces"(Protocol No.23).

 

This "principle of a single set of forces"clearly points to an emerging  EU army under "structured cooperation". This mechanism would be a way for the EU's military heavyweights to get around the slowness of the neutrals to embrace EU militarization.


The Constitution also includes the EURATOM Protocol(No.36) which amends the European Atomic Energy Treaty that supports nuclear power and continues the EURATOM Community in being indefinitely under the Constitution's provisions.



7. THE EU'S NEW CRIME,JUSTICE AND POLICING POWERS:


The Constitution would allow movement towards an EU criminal justice system on the continental model, which does not have juries or "habeas corpus",i.e.the right to be brought before a judge to have one's detention legally and publicly justified.

·     

·    This is to be done through harmonisation of national laws and mutual recognition of judicial and extra-judicial decisions(Arts.I-42,III-260,269,270) and giving the new EU the power to set down common definitions of criminal offences and sanctions for serious crime with a cross-border dimension (Art.III-271).


The role of Eurojust, which links justice systems across the EU, would be extended from "co-ordination" of criminal prosecutions to include also their "initiation", and the extension of Eurojust's "structure, operation, field of action and tasks" would be permitted(Art.III-273).

·     

·    An EU Public Prosecutor's Office is proposed(Art.III-274),to undertake EU prosecutions in national courts, initially for offences of fraud against the new EU, but open to extension by unanimous agreement of the EU Presidents and Prime Ministers to cover any serious crime with a cross-border dimension.


Europol,the EU's embryonic federal police force, whose officers enjoy immunity from criminal prosecution(Protocol 7), would be given new powers, including the collection and processing of information and "the coordination, organisation and implementation of investigative and operational action carried out jointly with the Member States' competent authorities  or in the context of joint investigative teams"(Art.III-276;ex-Art.30TEU).



8.THE EU'S NEW POWERS TO DECIDE OUR RIGHTS:

The EU Constitution would for the first time give the EU Court of Justice the power to decide our rights. This would be in all areas covered by EU law, which is now vast and growing. Most EU policies and decisions can be construed as having a human rights dimension.

·     

·    It would remove the final say on rights issues in these areas from national Constitutions and Supreme Courts, or the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, which is independent of the EU Court.


It does this by including the EU's "Charter of Fundamental Rights" as Part II of the four-part Constitution, making it legally binding and giving the EU Court the power to apply it. EU rights law in these areas would override national law and have direct effect.

·     

·    This includes Article II-112 which
sinisterly allows "limitations" of basic rights in the general interests of the EU. The Preamble to the Charter in the Constitution states that it will be interpreted in the light of the "Explanations" set out in Declaration

·     

·    12. One of these allows the death-penalty to be imposed "in time of war or during the immediate threat of war",even though all Member States have abolished the death penalty nationally.


Article II-114 would forbid any political campaigning to reverse any
aspects of the Charter. Giving the EU Court of Justice the power to decide
our rights does not strengthen or improve them one iota.

·     

·    This is more about power than rights, for it would give wide scope for reaching into some of the most intimate areas of our lives to a Court that is notorious for using its case-law to extend EU powers to the utmost.

·     

· This development would
also install a new tier of expensive lawyers and judges between citizens and the final court of appeal that would decide their rights.

So You Want Out Of The EU

 

THEN WHY NOT SIGN THE

RENUNCIATION of EU CITIZENSHIP

WHY WE ASK YOUR SUPPORT When we first saw the petition we reasoned that it had no chance of success from No 10 but we supported it in order to gauge the number of Britons who would publicly put their name to a list which stated that they wished to RENUNCIATE EU CITIZENSHIP and retain only BRITISH.-THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. Some might say that to hide behind a negative premise is both cowardly and playing into the hands of the EU FEDERALISTS.  DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT- Place your vote so ALL can see that YOU CARE. about YOUR COUNTRY and YOUR FREEDOM.

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Optout

Details from petition creator

With the signing of the Maastricht Treaty the people of Britain were given

DUAL CITIZENSHIP

-both

EUROPEAN and BRITISH

The extra tier of citizenship was thrust upon the people without their consent -and in many cases knowledge.

The PEOPLE of GREAT BRITAIN should be allowed the option of opting out of the EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP if they so wish. The GOVERNMENT will then be able to provide those who have opted out with

BRITISH DOCUMENTATION

-only such as British  (not EU) passports, driving licences and other national documents.

EU laws will also NOT APPLY to those who

HAVE OPTED OUT OF EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP

 

[PETITION OPEN UNTIL OCTOBER 08]

	CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!   A BLUNT REPLY TO THE QUEEN'S SPEECH ON CHRISTMAS DAY-25th DECEMBER ,2007. *     TIME FOR DECISION   THE BRITISH LEGACY-AUSTRALIA-CANADA-NEW ZEALAND-WHY THEY MATTER. * The Act of Settlement of 1701-WHY IT SHOULD CONCERN -YOU! * The Common Law of ENGLAND is the LAW of THE COMMONWEALTH and AMERICA * The Commonwealth Realms V The Constitution for Europe- 4-PARTS * MESSAGE FROM AUSTRALIA-SUPPORT THE CROWN * WHY WE MUST BE ALERT AND WITH OUR COMMONWEALTH PATRIOTS MAINTAIN CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY * YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH.   WILL THIS CHRISTMAS  QUEEN'S SPEECH BE THE LAST IN A FREE INDEPENDENT ENGLAND -SCOTLAND AND WALES? Will HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FROM BECOMING A PROVINCE OF EUROPE. OR WILL THE QUEEN MAKE IT PLAIN THAT OUR FREE INDEPENDENT NATION STATE IS SACROSANCT BUT THAT IF THE PEOPLE WISH TO BECOME SLAVES -THEN A REFERENDUM THERE MUST BE. WE BELIEVE THAT NO ENGLISHMAN SHOULD BE ASKED WHETHER HE WISHES TO BE A SLAVE OR FREE!   THIS CHRISTMAS WE WILL FIND OUT IF OUR PROTECTOR OF THE 'Rights and Liberties' of Englishmen Will keep by HER SACRED OATH or the MONARCHY be nothing more than a  THEME PARK in the future THIS IS THE TIME FOR BLUNT SPEAKING AS THE VERY EXISTENCE OF OUR UNIQUE NATION STATE IS IN DIRE PERIL. We are told on the BBC  (Brussels Broadcasting Service) at 11.30 pm on Saturday the 23rd December, 2007, that the QUEEN now has a website which has footage of the Royal Family in the past and that the QUEEN is NOT 'Stuck in the past' Well! as far as many patriotic subjects are concerned we need to remain in the PAST when it concerns the protection of  our FREEDOM and COUNTRY.   Change we have had and will continue to have but it must not threaten our very WAY-OF-LIFE our Common Law of England and all which makes our country the most unique parliamentary democracy in the world. THERE CAN BE NO SURRENDER!   Should the Monarch fail to protect our inherited RIGHTS and Liberties then we shall have to fight for a REPUBLIC  as happened in the 17th century because the Monarch of the day ignored those very 'Rights and Liberties of Englishmen' which will still survive in the English Speaking World today in December 2007. How can the MOTHER of PARLIAMENTS give away what is already our and our children's  INHERITANCE which cannot be taken away by PARLIAMENT or the QUEEN.   If the above publicity exercise is to be used to soften the impact to the population of the BETRAYAL of their CONSTITUTION and COUNTRY then it would be the greatest TREASON by a Monarch since James II who wished to sell our COUNTRY to the FRENCH for MONEY and RELIGION. WE ASK WHAT PRICE ARE OUR RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES WORTH? THEY ARE PRICELESS! * A BETRAYAL OF OUR NATION –CONSPIRATORS NAMED *   The Choice is Yours!-but time is running out FAST! 6 months to be EXACT! *   THE EU   WE-AND THEM!   WE are to join THEM THEY are not joining US WE have more to LOSE THEY have more to GAIN WE have been clear of dictators from EUROPE for most of our HISTORY THEY have been cursed with that abomination for most of their HISTORY and NOW! * Our Queen and the EU Constitution * The Spirit of England by Winston Churchill * THE ENEMY IS EVERYWHERE * MESSAGE TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH THE II * We now learn from the Daily Mail COMMENT on Christmas Eve that the Queen's Speech will cover the catastrophic fall in Values and Moral behaviour since the beginning of her 56 -year reign. This has been brought about by the actions of HER MINISTERS and the greater number of those in HER PARLIAMENT who have placed THEIR CONCERNS before the INTERESTS of THE PEOPLE and NATION STATE.    As for the fact that HER PEOPLE feel LOST that has been the direct result of the actions of HER SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS and the TRAITOROUS POLITICIANS including PRIME MINISTERS who have stealthily over the 56 years of HER MAJESTY'S REIGN have almost achieved their aim of ENSLAVING the PEOPLE to a FOREIGN POWER.  The reason for the marked drop in the number viewing THE QUEEN'S SPEECH is no doubt because the mass of people have realised years ago that the MONARCH is powerless to PROTECT their WAY-OF-LIFE and events up to now have PROVED THEM CORRECT. There is a well know saying 'Nero fiddled while Rome burned' Is it the case on Christmas Day 2007 while the  Monarch talks  our Rights and Liberties are being taken from us under our very  noses? Of course the QUEEN under HER CONSTITUTIONAL ROLE can only 'Advise and Warn' HER MINISTERS but when the matter concerns the very LIFE of an INDEPENDENT STATE we expect that HER MAJESTY consider the arrangement to be AT AN END as it would make a MOCKERY of the PRIME IMPORTANCE of the MONARCH to protect our inherited Rights and Liberties which HER MINISTERS  are endeavouring TO GIVE AWAY. We as loyal subjects of the MONARCH who is the living embodiment of OUR RIGHTS and LIBERTIES  ask at this late stage with only months to the eradication of a FREE NATION STATE some veiled comments that HER MAJESTY will PROTECT our RIGHTS and LIBERTIES. As for the MORAL tone of the NATION STATE at this most crucial time in ENGLISH CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY this matter should be left to CHURCH LEADERS who's responsibility it is to CARE for their FLOCKS particularly at this FESTIVAL of CHRISTMAS. IF HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH has not been pre-recorded  we ask HER MAJESTY to give those MILLIONS of HER subjects some hope that their PROTECTOR has NOT FORGOTTEN THEM. Should this APPEAL not be answered we can at last confirm that the MONARCHY is after all nothing more than a talking shop suitable for YouTube and therefore nothing more than a THEME PARK * Hear Tony Benn's comments about the despotic and corrupt EUROPEAN UNION and the need for a REFERENDUM http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=o0I-ZdvQz1o From a politician with INTEGRITY and love of country who has for decades witnessed the growth of the monstrous creature soon to be a UNITED STATES OF EUROPE. *   Liberties of Parliament- Birthright of Subjects of England. *   [All words/word underlined  have a separate bulletin]

 

 

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO ALL OUR VIEWERS.   WE WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR IN 2008 [Since our Xmas message to you all last year we find that our sentiments remain the same with the added emphasise on the coming danger to YOUR COUNTRY from those many traitors in YOUR HOUSE of COMMONS who intend to sell YOUR COUNTRY to a FOREIGN POWER] We Remember The Year 2006   The Spirit of England-Winston Churchill-1953 [We were warned in 1953 to beware of wreckers of our Constitution and Way-of- Life but it had taken Tony Blair just 10 years to do just THAT while everyone had their minds they thought on more important matters. Well! in 2007 his predessessor Gordon Brown is leading you to SLAVERY and only awaits the final signature of the present holder of the House of Wessex the over 1000 year  PROTECTOR of our inherited RIGHTS and LIBERTIES of ENGLISHMEN HER MAJESTY-THE QUEEN Of the House of Wessex since King Alfred 'the Shepherd and Darling of England' in the annals of 893 -897 'We still leave it to the work of Alfred the Great  that England was saved to become the first individual nation -state which over 1100 years later a member of that same House of Wessex has already signed away much of those ancient Rights and Liberties and fundamentals of justice and Rule of Law and only awaits a final signature to enslave her people into a despotic undemocratic godless police state to call itself a UNITED STATES OF EUROPE It is within the power of Her Majesty the Queen to refuse to ratify the New EU TREATY because whatever lies her ministers have given her over her long reign the TRUTH is now clear for ALL TO SEE. In the Netherlands a number of years ago their MONARCH resigned for a day rather than sign the Bill put before him. The New EU TREATY is the death of a NATION STATE of over 1200 years in the making. It is the treasonable actions of HER MINISTERS which has placed THE QUEEN in the forefront in the protection of the Rights and Liberties of HER SUBJECTS as on no one else can HER PEOPLE DEPEND.
