Opposing oppression...


Raedwald on the button again:
"It's because I love Europe that I condemn with every breath I take the grotesque evil of the EU. The EU is evil in exactly the same way that the Soviet Union was evil; that in a pretence at securing the good of all, the freedoms of each are trampled upon, that power and its maintenance becomes an end in itself, that privilege and patronage are reserved to the ruling elite, and that any countervailing loyalties and allegiances are crushed. The corruption of power, the spoilation of national dignity, the cruel subjugation of human spirit and conscience are all works of true evil and counter to our shared Christian culture and heritage. Every one of us has a moral duty to oppose the EU."
Sorry for lack of orginal Ows comment in this post and yesterday's based around three of the 5 or 6 excellent blogposts in one day from Autonomous Mind but when someone says something you agree with but says it in a much better way then why not quote it!

You're far too kind! Thanks for reading and linking. I've added you to my blogroll.

Thanks! No worries and you're welcome! (btw, we were on the same Witanagemot club blogroll but that's been 'retired now)

This EU thing will have let down an awful lot of "natural Conservatives" (big C)

This is what happens when power becomes reality and ideals vanish overnight. Read Tony Blair and see what happens when a man with vision realises that he can't actually make a difference. Look at the States and the sodding Tea Party, so full of themselves and yet can't appoint a figurehead, perhaps they should make Glenn Beck their leader then we can all roll around the floor laughing. Sorry I've digressed.

Europe is a big self fulfilling machine that no amount of revision will change, all that can happen is that the edges are tinkered with.

As an aside I'm reading a history of Germany at the moment and the choice of Strasbourg as home of the EU is quite interesting and made me smile.

Power tends to corrupt etc...

Re Beck, careful what you "wish for", it isn't impossible that they will look for a celebrity rather than a politician to front it.

Re Germany, I'm intrigued and await your blogpost on it...
