Abu Dhabi to aid Dubai on "case by case" basis!

Bloody awful news for Britain's banks and its bloody worst-ever PM Brown tonight, read the report here from Reuters.

Will this "case by case" basis, become the trend in the Euro zone. as formerly sovereign states are picked off one by one in the great Eurozone confidence trick? For example:

ECB support for Greece, perhaps but not for Spain.... though if Greece is nicer to the corrupt EU leaders.... vice versa and ECB support for Spain but not for Greece?

What a mess! There are no rules folks... the Growth and Stability Pact determining proper behaviour in these events was abandoned years ago, as we blogged earlier this week!!

The City in Peril

The Daily Mail this morning, belatedly has an article on the now almost certain doomsday scenario facing Britain. Read it here.

Not mentioned is the fate now awaiting the one wealth creating element of Britain's Labour Party devastated economy, namely the City of London. The EU which gobbles up an ever growing percentage of Britain's real income is now to appoint a Finance Commissioner, read here, with views at the very least likely to hobble, confound and restrict the City's global influence. The UK talent exodus will now gather yet more force, so who will then pay the welfare claimants when Britain can borrow no more?

Lloyds HBOS and secret 25.4 billion pounds

This blog has always maintained the Lloyds/HBOS arrangement was sure to end in disaster.

The main question now, with a huge rights issue dilemma facing investors, is from WHERE did the 25.4 billion used by Lloyds to repay, in January of this year ,the secret Bank of England loan revealed today by Mervyn King, COME .... Could it have been another, as yet undisclosed, secret Bank of England loan? Also worth asking:

How could Parliament have been kept in the dark about these huge taxpayer liabilities for a whole year????????

Why was this blog one of the few asking such questions at the time????????

Were not Lloyds shareholders defrauded by the Government???????????

When will the arrests begin?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Conflicting headlines proving the World has gone MAD

Six years ago this Thursday (Thanksgiving Day in the USA) the New York Times (linked here) reported as follows:
+++++
France and Germany Given More Time to Curb Deficits
By MARK LANDLER and PAUL MELLER; Mark Landler reported for this article from Frankfurt and Paul Meller from Brussels.
Published: Wednesday, November 26, 2003

Europe's finance ministers have agreed to suspend the fiscal rules that underpin the euro, eliciting sighs of relief from France and Germany, but driving a wedge through the 12-member monetary union and raising fears about the stability of the single currency.
+++++

Now we have credit rating agencies warning on the French deficit, read here, with newly planned loans rising above 10 per cent of GDP and the French Finance Minister reportedly stating in face of German complaints "We ar not Germans".

And the Euro is a success??

Nick Clegg talks sense again.

What is happening to the Liberal/Democrats?

Most of their MPs have emerged from the expenses relatively unscathed - now their leader, horrible eu-federalist though he may be, was making perfect sense in his interview on the Andrew Marr Show on BBC1 this morning, in complete contrast to the dreadful performance offered by the leader of the supposed main opposition party David Cameron, who seemed to make staying within the corrupt and now clearly sinking EU his main priority above all other policy areas.

Cameron's Party Chairman, the smarmy stupid and overbearing Eric Pickles was meantime being revealed over the breakfast tables of the nation as a former ardent Marxist in the Sunday Times.... figures!

Check my blog of Ukip Uncovered for a possible best way forward to handle this situation

Unanimity of Thursday's votes points to EU Fascism

A feature of dictatorships around the world is the imitation they make of democratic procedures which they subsequently cannot resist manipulating to inevitably result in near unanimous decisions.

Even Saddam Hussein used only to achieve about 98% of such votes however!

Last Thursday the thoroughly worthless two candidates for the post of EU Council President and High Representative achieved unanimous support from the 27 democracy destroyers who once led a similar number of fully free and independent nation states. Such notions of freedom, democracy and independence will be gone on 1st December, just nine sole remaining days!

Only nine days for one former sovereign nation to rescind their ratification of this dreadful Lisbon Treaty! Fat chance if their supposed democracy loving elected leaders are anything to go by. How can two candidates merely looking like they do ever have been appointed unanimously? Even less likely when considering their absence of credentials.

The appointees are so lacking in credibility and experience that contacts of mine from across the world have reacted with contempt and derision. Perhaps a good thing as international repugnance at what is taking place in Europe is possibly one of the few hopes left for sanity, accountability and decency to be restored. Cannot Britain and France be removed from the UN Security Council and the other 25 nations removed from the UN General Assembly on the grounds that they now cease to exist as independent states? But would that let in the loathsome EU itself ? A dreadful possibility now that it has been granted a legal personality by the treacherous fawning fools we ourselves voted in and who have now appointed Hertz Van Rumplestiltskin (lovely illustration of the new EU President with the fairy tale princess halfway through the Wikipedia story, if you click on the name) and Baroness Mandelpawn.

At least in the United Kingdom the reality of the disaster is about to be brought home, a brilliant illustration of our plight and the pretence of the power now missing from our elected representatives has appeared on another blog linked above and here.

The Sunday Times this morning has its main article on Mandelson's new ambitions, linked here and here.

Europe's new rulers!

Only one name among the powerful and shady conspirators who have so successfully and skilfully brought Europe to this non-democratic pass has so far emerged. Details, naturally enough, are few and largely unnoticed by the mainstream media who have been the willing pawns in this destruction of decent values and openness.

The man concerned, new Council Secretary-General to the EU, is naturally enough a French career 'fonctionaire' Pierre de Boissieu. This man will control the huge and greedy bureaucracy of the EU and himself be controlled by shady and anonymous figures who still remain carefully hidden behind the scenes.

The ludicrous appearing and completely unknown former Belgian PM and now EU President, Herman Van Rompuy, will, little doubt,be an early facilitator for a later, all-powerful figure who will presumably become known to us all soon enough. Apparently unaware of the clear ridiculousness of his position, the new EU President announced in his acceptance press conference that he would in future represent the new EU Common Foreign Policy at summits with other world leaders such as the USA, China and India (if I recall the list correctly). The High Representative for Foreign Affairs, the unknown and never elected socialist from Britain, Baroness Catherine Ashton, would thus be nothing of the kind, something of a relief given her almost total lack of foreign experience, indeed complete lack of achievements of any kind other than pushing the Lisbon Treaty through the British House of Lords, largely occupied these days by retired EU troughers, the senile and the cronies to New Labour.

In a presentation to the secretive Bilderberger Croup a few days ago, the new President reportedly stated his main ambition will be to gain direct tax raising powers for the already overgreedy EU while he last evening publicly advanced the usual 'social' aspects. Hopefully his lack of charisma will be matched by a similar absence of the necessary guile to achieve either of these ends.

On 1st December 2009 the key fact for Britain will be the take-over of the country by the first EU Proconsul, the half blind, completely deranged, economically incompetent and deficient specimen of humanity, Gordon Brown. In the wings waiting to take over the post will be the vapid and shallow ex-marketing man David Cameron, who no doubt will make much of the panapolies of power.

In reality expanding absolute power will be being carefully manipulated, completely anonymously from somewhere in the central eastern regions of the economically declining EU. Shaded no doubt with a view to French interests by Monsieur Boissieu.

Cameron's Deputy, William Hague, as British Foreign Secretary, who for his past about-turns and deviousness on questions of the EU, fully deserves the humiliation of deferring in his portfolio to the non-entity duo of Catherine Ashton, herself ostensibly reporting to Herman Van Rompuy.

Looking to history for a precedent I am drawn to Cardinal Richelieu. In pursuit of wealth and absolute power, which he could manipulate behind the scenes, he destroyed the hugely prosperous trading networks of the prosperous western regions of France, built a citadel at Brouage to hoard his wealth from where the sea was already receding while the wealth went to the new nations to the West, together with much of Franc's entrepreneurial population. Is Monsieur Boisseu another such or is the new Richelieu still to emerge?

The flight from the EU., already well begun will now gather momentum, that is one thing for sure. The citizens of the EU are poorer this morning with far worse to follow from !st December.

We await the arrival of a new John Churchill, hopefully not for the 77 years which passed between the fall of La Rochelle and the Battle of Blenheim. Even a hundred years is worth waiting to remove despotic rule and absolute power which the EU is increasingly appearing to represent.

Democracy's Destroyers Dine to Deliver Despotism

Twenty-seven of the lowest of the low within Europe (self-deluded that they are in reality la crème de la crème) at this moment meet together (with long-handled spoons, one trusts,) to promote a suitably malleable puppet President for the European Union; as former democratic leaders of sovereign states they have debased and deceived the people of Europe to deliver an entity of which mankind - not just Europeans should be thoroughly ashamed!

We must now await the results of their closed-door, non-democratic manoeuvrings to see the self-serving and shameful appointees who emerge.

In the stakes of shame for this entire eight year long squalid saga, most of which is painstakingly detailed in the archives of this blog (plus its predecessor Ironies) at the forefront stand the British politicians, whose lies and double-dealing to both Parliament and their domestic electorate go unparalleled elsewhere in the now thoroughly shamed and decadent EU.

Treacherous Queen - Thread Treasures - Thirty-nine

In response to s a stupid comment (link) by Simon Heffer in today's Daily Telegraph on the morning of the disgraceful further opening of this treasonous Parliament -

+++++

She is not a "beloved Queen". She ratified without murmur the Lisbon Treaty and gave away our sovereignty.

Therefore she is no longer fit to be Head of State, no longer fit to have my allegiance and should be tried for treason along with every other member of Parliament who was complicit in accepting the Lisbon Treaty.

She should stand up and say "NO MORE, YOU HAVE DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY IN THE LAST 13 YEARS", dissolve parliament, get everyone who has served in Government at whatever level in the past 13 years into court as traitors, repeal just about every piece of legislation on the statute books except the Magna Carta and 1689 Bill of Rights (which still exists, is still legally binding and has never been repealed) and then we can start all over again to re-build OUR country.

Inflation realities - Thread Treasures - Thirty-eight

In response to a first rate description of Britain's inflation realities by Mark Bathgate, 'The Gathering Storm" linked here, comes this from The Spectator Coffee House :

Moraymint

November 17th, 2009 7:58pm Report this comment

For me, the real issue here is the complete and utter failure of the UK's constitutional and democratic processes.

How can it be that we still face many months of being "governed" (shafted) by a group of political gangsters and shysters that have done more damage to this country in a decade than any external threat ever visited upon us?

The problem is that the damage is latent.

There will be a great and terrible unfolding of Gordon Brown's unholy economic legacy over the coming years. Most folk remain blissfully unaware of the pent up catastrophe that the Labour Party will hand over to the largely clueless Tories in the spring of next year.

All this seems fitting on a day when we learn that the UK has slipped further down the league of the world's most corrupt countries, thanks mainly to the venality of our political class.

How did it get to this? I suppose we only have ourselves to blame; or am I being too harsh on the ordinary bloke here? Is it the case that our society is fractured?

Perhaps we now have a political class (mafia) and all its hangers on ... and the rest of us dolts being taken for the mother of all rides.

Do we have to put up with this? Or can we withdraw our consent to be governed by an increasingly corrupt few?

Treasures from the Threads - Number thirty-seven

Denis Cooper to the Daily Telegraph on the ever closer union, linked here:

The EU is an international organisation established by treaties between its sovereign member states, and the presumption is that the member states are above all committed to "ever closer union", ultimately leading to their fusion into a single sovereign state.

It may be a federation like the US or Australia, as envisaged in the 1950 Schuman Declaration proposing a European Coal and Steel Community:

Europa link

"a first step in the federation of Europe",

"the first concrete foundation of a European federation";

or it may be a unitary state; but either way in the end the national sovereignty of the member states must be formally transferred to the new single European state, which will take its place on the world stage alongside the other sovereign states.

That commitment was in the very first line of the Preamble to the 1957 Treaty of Rome, immediately after the list of the six heads of state who were making the treaty:

"DETERMINED to lay the foundations of an ever-closer union among the peoples of Europe"

and it was re-iterated in the Preamble to the Maastricht Treaty on European Union:

"RESOLVED to continue the process of creating an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe".

and well as in its Article 1, and it will still be there after December 1st when the Lisbon Treaty comes into force.

If the people of a country allow its government and Parliament to sign them up to a constant, unlimited process of "ever closer union" with the peoples of other countries, then they can't keep complaining whenever they find themselves subjected to that process of "ever closer union"; in fact there would be more legitimate grounds for complaint if the governments of other countries failed to live up to their solemn commitment and obstructed the process of "ever closer union".

But if they don't want to be part of that process of "ever closer union", they need to elect a majority of MPs who will insist that the government negotiates a new and very different treaty, one predicated on the assumption that they wish their country to remain an independent sovereign state.

There's no feasible middle path here, no chance of being technically signed up for the principle of "ever closer union" but cleverly avoiding it having any practical effects; just as there's no chance of being "In Europe but not run by Europe", as Hague so misleadingly puts it

HM the Queen has the Power, Perogative and Duty to save England

I repeat my headline, "HM the Queen has the Power, Prerogative and Duty to save England".

Parliament stands prorogued, the Royal Prerogative until 18th November can now only rest with the Monarch.

England is about to be disbanded and absorbed into alien and foreign control. My post of last Saturday morning beneath this makes clear that this is the intention and a standing note to MPs in the House of Commons Library has made this fact quite clear to these same MPs since last year.

Members of Parliament with English constituencies or connections should feel their necks frequently between now and next Wednesday's commencement of the new Parliamentary session and imagine the feel of an encircling rope. There is plenty of doubt that the ancient non-amendable statutes at the bed-rock of England's unwritten Constitution have sufficient legal effect to still retain the ancient penalty for High Treason.

In two weeks time the Lisbon Treaty will enter into force. The deliberate destruction of England, already carefully planned, will then be put into effect and our corrupt politicians will no longer be able to hide the truth from their constituents nor demand further sacrifices from our armed forces in support of a nation that no longer exists.

The Queen has these final 14 days to demand the return of the wrongfully ratified Treaty of Lisbon and put the promised question of its acceptability to the voters or preferably demand an immediate General Election so that a new Parliament can decide the Treaty's future considering the terms of her own Coronation Oath.

MPs of the past Parliament should at the very least be denied a comfortable retirement. Hopefully this blog will remain on the record denying any legitimate defense of ignorance when the fuller facts become clear, possibly even by the end of this year. House of Commons Library Standard Note (Number SN/IA/4894 ) of course already remains on the record ..... feel your throats and think carefully!

UPDATE at 0815 GMT Nick Clegg, Liberal Democrat Leader at least agrees there should be no more business as usual from next Wednesday, read here.
