Lame Duck President Tells Britain What To Do

President Obama's inappropriate intervention in exerting pressure on Briton to stay in
the EU, does nothing to strengthen the case for doing so. Indeed, what would be
the response of the US if, in the unlikely event, the UK attempted to influence
its foreign policy?

A free-enterprise economy operating in an open, representative democracy
led to the rise of the United States as the pre-eminent global power. It has
underpinned the defence and economies of Western countries since the
Second World War.

These values represent everything that the EU is not. Its Commission, far
from representing the will of the people, represents an unelected and
unaccountable elite. Jean Monet, a founding father of the
EU, planned the deceit which has been visited on the peoples of Europe:
"European nations should be guided towards being a superstate, without
understanding what is happening".

The introduction of the flawed single currency, the monumentally wasteful
Common Agricultural Policy, large unaudited capital transfers to the 26
largely net recipient countries, funded by Germany and the UK (on borrowed
money), are manifestly socialist and antithetical to the free-market principles
the US has always stood for.

With 7% of the world's population, 25% of its GDP but 50% of global spending
on welfare and the unrelenting tide of immigrants, time for the EU is indeed running
out. In the absence of fundamental structural economic and political reform,
yet more quantitative easing by the ECB cannot delay for much longer the
inevitable Implosion of the entire EU project. Is this what President Obama
wants the UK locked into? We must resist President Obama's invitation to "outsize" 

our influence with the US, since it is based on the false premise of an imagined special relationship

relationship which is, in reality, its own national self-interest.

Immigration - Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics

Official figures show that in the

past year 257,000 EU immigrants

have arrived in the UK and 630,000

EU citizens have requested National

Insurance numbers.

These figures, taken together with

with the news in Times article (Feb

27) 'Blair accused of opening doors

to 2m migrants' suggests little has

changed in government obscuring 

inconvenient facts from public gaze

Notwithstanding the debatable

benefit of marginally higher GDP, the 

effects of such a massive inflow can

be seen in the NHS, housing and 

education, where scarce resources are 

being stretched to breaking point.

We are where we are but should remind 

ourselves how this situation has arisen. 

The continuing assertion that, when in office, 

Labour acted in good faith in not properly 

assessing the impact of immigration and 

of integration is contradicted by the facts. 

A publication of 2000, obtained under the 

Freedom of information Act, contained a 

secret Cabinet Office report, which 

characterised Labour's open-door 

immigration policy as a deliberate attempt 

to rub the Right's nose in cultural diversity.

Current projections are that each year

immigration will add to the UK population

the equivalent of a city the size of Bristol

size of Bristol.

We must regain the ability to control our

borders.

Lagarde and Osborne's Quid Pro Quo

IMF chief, Christine Lagarde, was appointed with the strong backing of 
George Osborne and is currently under criminal investigation for fraud.
The former French finance minister and arch-EU advocate admits to
defective judgement in the past regarding the performance of the U.K.
economy. The chancellor has missed all his fiscal targets for deficit
reduction, resulting in a complete loss of confidence. Incredibly, both 
siren voices are now calling on UK voters to trust in their judgement and 
remain in the EU. Is the next phase of this seemingly quid-pro-quo 
relationship one in which the former will support the latter in any early 
career move.
