DEMOCRACY - PURE AND SIMPLE!

There is a petition currently in circulation demanding a second referendum regarding the UK's choice to leave the EU. The majority of the signatures come from the London boroughs. They want to change the goal posts of the results to a 60% majority on a 75% turnout. The point of democracy is the majority win. In simple terms anything result greater than 51% is the majority (a slim majority, but a majority nonetheless). The irony is these morons are bemoaning the fact that they want an enhanced democracy, a Democracy 2.0 if you will (trying to change the mathematical equation of anything greater that 51% isn't really a majority) all to remain in an institution that is fundamentally ANTI-DEMOCRATIC. You really couldn't make it up!!

If the shoe were on the other foot and the Leave campaigners had lost, would there have been any coverage or credence given to a demand for a second referendum. Indeed were the tables turned, the SJW's would have been shouting that a 51% remain vote WAS democratic.

Demographic suicide of Europe - Can it be reversed?

There is no doubt, to any rational, critical thinking person in the Western world, that Europe is going through as big a crisis as those of WW1 and WW2. Unfortunately, the crisis we currently find ourselves in has been created or at least abetted by our own political leaders. There has been much talk of the Frankfurt School and the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan, cultural marxism and the creep of Islamism within the West and Europe specifically. We are told that we need to import immigrants from the third world countries in order to fill the demographic hole created by Europeans not breeding sufficiently. The Coudenhove-Kalergi plan openly advocates the destruction of the European race, or at the very least its dilution. So for decades, various countries have made it fiscally less and less desirable to procreate. The married person's tax allowance was removed from UK citizens way back in the nineties, child benefit, in countries where it is paid, has...

Lord Taverne slams the will of the people.

Last night (13 March 2017) the House of Commons voted on the Bill to trigger Article 50 of the Lis bon Trea ty . This Bill allows the government of the UK to set in motion the process of separation from the European Union, nine months after the people of the UK voted, via a referendum, to leave. Despite the best efforts of Gina Miller (a Soros stooge) and a cabal of self-interested parties to block the UK government from trying to exit without parliamentary approval; a move that was upheld by several self-interested High Court and Supreme Court Judges were proven fruitless. In compliance with the court directive, the UK government tabled a Bill laying out the specifics of exiting the EU. Passed by the House of Commons, it went up to the House of Lords, who rejected the Bill and returned it to the elected House with amendments. The amendments were overturned by the elected House of Commons and it has since passed in the House of...

Pot and Kettle!!!

It never fails to amaze me that some people in positions of power have the nerve to judge countries when their own home nation is not known for banging the same drum..... The UN Human Rights Chief, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein from Saudi Arabia, has drawn the world's attention to the horrendous behaviour of the Turkish Authorities. He, quite correctly, has stated that the shooting at unarmed people protesting in Cizre, Turkey, was against their fundamental rights. This throws up two issues for me; Saudi Arabia has an appalling human rights record and the fact that a Saudi citizen is the head of the UN Human Rights is laughable. Does he criticise Saudi Arabia or are they off limits? Everyone has known about the flexible way that Turkey deals with the issue of human rights, but they have been assured that the EU will look again at their application to join....surely this should be the nail in the coffin of their ambition to join? ...
