It’s happened!

going_going_gone_2Yes its happened! We have a new President and are well on the way to becoming the North West region of the United states of Europe , under our new President Pompuy formerly Prime Minister of Belgium and supreme head over 500 million of us, chosen by just 27 people.

President Pompuy wants us all to become super eurobots singing the Euro national anthem, flying the star clustered banner all 27 of them and paying upto 45 million pounds a day into this incredible superstate, ruled over by a President none of us voted for, with laws made by EU Commisioners who no one voted for either. Welcome to the new democracy, which no one in the former UK ever got a chance to pass an opinion on.

The jobs for the boys and girls just gets better. Our new head of Foriegn policy and security is Baroness Ashton, her credentials… well, she once was a member of CND and is a big pal of Tony Blairs. Well that’s settled then. Ideal for the job!

So hide your flags, take down your Leeks and Daffs. Throw away your GB plates and raise a glass of Champange from South East region of Europe, formerly France, “Gentleman The President”.

An open letter:

roynorryIn answer to a query I received recently asking if UKIP is publicising its self enough in North Wales I was prompted to reply at length. Below is an edit of my response which I’d like the wider public to share.

“I would say that UKIP in Wales has a stronger voice now than ever before, particularly with John Bufton taking up his role as MEP, with Adam Brown who is the first non-Labour councillor ever to be elected to represent the uncompromising Gurnos estate in Merthyr and Neil Greer, councillor for Penydarren ward, Merthyr joining UKIP. In addition, more locally, Colwyn Bay UKIP’s  Janet Griffiths and Jennifer Geddes recently became councillors, and again in the Colwyn Bay, Mold and Llandudno areas, UKIP members have recently been actively campaigning in the towns and offering leaflets to passers by. As our membership grows, (and we are seeing a month on month increase of new members joining the UKIP North Wales branch for sure) our organisation and strength is also growing. With each new member comes another helper in publicising the party.

I attended the National party conference in Southport and saw first hand the efforts that are being made to bring in new prospective parliamentary candidates across Wales and the training being proposed to maximise the party’s presence, and I witnessed the forward planning which will form the basis of the general election campaign, and the planning behind proposed forthcoming publicity efforts in Wales.

To be fair, Gordon Brown only appears to have fired the starting gun of the general election campaign a couple of days ago, and yet UKIP North Wales members have been out on the streets campaigning since before the European Elections and in the months that followed, and right up to the present day, rain or shine. I stood on the street corner in Mold myself only recently with local UKIP party campaigners who were handing out leaflets and having some very interesting and encouraging conversations with the electorate, but there were only so many of us, and it is true to say that we’ve had a reluctant media coverage both locally and nationally until recently.

Our warnings about the dangers of the EU, our loss of sovereignty, our elected officials becomming virtualy powerless with 75% of British laws now being made by Brussels,  the hollowing out of our Parliament and so much more,  are only now starting to sink in with many, especially as they can now see and feel it all starting to take effect. With the British news media finally starting to reveal the shocking truths about the EU to the wider British public particularly, this is all helping to boost the membership of UKIP,  and helping to add deserved credibility to the message our party has always been trying to get across. We must withdraw for membership of the EU.

Another issue that has helped our profile is that we’re managing to shake off the age old misconception that UKIP is somehow in cahoots with the BNP. I think people are now beginning to realise that UKIP has nothing what so ever to do with the BNP, nor will it, and that our policies on such things as immigration are much more considered, acceptable and indeed fair, being born out of common sense rather than reactionary and down right racism. Once people we have spoken to realise that we are most definately not associated with the BNP, they warm to us much more, and even start to tell us what’s on their mind, which is important. The message we are getting is that the electorate is fed up with the present political situation in Wales and most definately fed up of the ‘traditional’ Labour entrenchment.

Since people no longer view UKIP as kranks or one off’s, which is brought about largely because we have consistently done well in elections and have in fact raised our profile somewhat through those successes, more people are taking us seriously and realising that UKIP is the only party who are truly fighting Britain’s corner for our independence, way of life and culture. The rest are either quietly flogging our country off, or paying lip service to not selling our country down the river, but doing so in such a way that the country has been given away to the EU anyway, regardless of their apparent heroic rhetoric.

There are also those who are “disenchanted Labour voters and Conservative in-fighters who have left a void ready to be filled”. The voters have indeed had enough. The members of UKIP North Wales are hearing this from the electorate at every public campaign we make, and I just hope that, on election day, the voters will remember all this when it comes to endorsing a political party on the voting paper.

But most of all I think that the upturn in the number of people that I’ve seen asking to join UKIP locally is because they are finally starting to realise the skullduggery that has been going in their name by our career politicians, selling Britain down the river to the EU behind our backs, in some cases to feather their own political futures. The people of North Wales are now feeling the effects of the betrayal that we were promised a referendum but then denied one. The local voters have seen through David Cameron , who’s promise to have a referendum we now know to have been a folly because the Lisbon Treaty having being signed, and legally binding, means that any such referendum ‘after the horse has bolted’ would have no standing whatsoever. It’s also because our national (and some local) news media, at last is starting to bring home the truth about the EU, the dreadful Lisbon Treaty, and the un elected bullying European Commission, and exposing some of the dangerous new EU Directives being tabled.

From my own point of view, £45 million pounds a day of our money is an awful lot to be handing over to the EU at a time when our own counties and local councils so desperately need funding. I wonder at the logic of it all, and I despair with each community support organisation in Wales that closes or gets its funding cut, with each school that cries out desperately for cash, with each piece of our community infrastructure that is dismantled and scrapped due to lack of money and with every new stealth tax that is imposed upon us. Lord help us in Wales when the EU its self starts raising British taxes and contributions, as is currently being proposed, and please, don’t get me started on the what might happen to the Welsh and British flags and to our National Anthems once the new EU president is chosen. You’ll note that I said ‘chosen’, and not ‘elected’.

I’m certain, with the available local resources and local fund raising efforts permitting, you should be getting a leaflet through your door soon from us at UKIP North Wales, and if you don’t, tell us where you are and we’lll make certain that you and your surrounding neighbours get one.

In the meantime you can always view our websites at http://www.ukipnorthwales.org , http://www.ukipwales.org where you will find a growing list of profiles for the latest prospective parliamentary candidates and don’t forget http://www.johnbufton.eu all of which are fairly new websites, and another mark of proof perhaps that we have been emerging from the shadows in the area and that we are starting to make our mark on the political landscape in Wales.

Of course there’s room for improvement,  and you can be sure we’re doing everything we can to increase our relevance and position in the hearts and minds of the electorate, but I would impress that any assistance that the public can offer us to help get our message across would be most appreciated, and they should contact us right away. We have a contact form online, and full local contact details at http://www.ukipnorthwales.org/contact-us/ . For the latest news of prospective parliamentary candidates and consituencies, see our website at http://www.ukipwales.org . We’re adding to the list often as more people come forward to represent UKIP.

Hand Off Our Dragon!

going_going_gone_2The winner of the race for the President of the European Union, will be announced tomorrow, after a cosy meeting over dinner by the heads of European Brussels, former favourites like ex Premier Tony Blair seem to be fading fast as the Premier of Belgium, one Herman Van Rompuy seems to be emerging as favourite.

 

Mr Rompuy who in the past has made it clear that he favours the abolition of National symbols like flags, number plates etc being replaced with EU ones including a EU national anthem, so if he gets his way, the Dragon of Wales, Three English Lions along with the Scottish Thistle will be consigned to the history books. The famous GB number plate will become a collectors item and “God Save The Queen” would only be sung on rare occasions in the confines of windsor castle and Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau in some ex miners welfare club in Swansea.

 

Only one party is determined to give you a say on our future relationship with the EU and that is UKIP.

 

We want you to know that 8 out of every 10 laws are now made by unelected commisioners in Brussels, the Lisbon treaty gives more power to the EU at the expense of the Parliament at Westminster. They would have us believe that the Presidents job is just a chairman of the Council of Europe meetings, but that would not explain why a ForiegnSecretary post is also in the offing, as we appear to have kicked off the general election early with Her Majesty unwittingly announcing the Labour Party manifesto and David Milliband likely to be offered the EU foriegn Secretary job as compensation for not Picking Blair

 

We at UKIP are now offering you a chance to say a wacking big NON to Monsieur Rompuy and his EU Superstate. We like our Dragons/Leeks/ Three Lions/Daffs/Roses and a Thistle, along with all of our flags too.

 

Our national anthems have served us well for decades. They are not for sale and not for changing either.

No place in the EU plan for the UK, for a Westminster Parliament.

warwick-nicholsonMr. Bell, the Conservative candidate for Clwyd South is obediently following his leader, Mr. Cameron, in advocating the reduction in the number of Westminster MPs.The reason for this reduction they say is to lower the cost of politics. Well, Mr Bells party did initially oppose the formation of the  hugely expensive, EU inspired Welsh Assembly but seems to have had a change of mind on finding that Regional Assemblies are the EUs chosen means of governing its dominions.There is no place in the EU plan for the UK, for a Westminster Parliament. It will be replaced by nine Regional Assemblies which will govern England and together with the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish Parliament will form  the eleven Regional Assemblies which it is intended will govern Britain on behalf of the EU. Is it naive of me to ask if this proposed reduction of MPs is another step in that direction?
 
In order to reduce the cost of politics perhaps we should replace the sixty member Welsh Assembly with our forty Welsh MPs who could sit in Wales for three weeks in every four and administer Welsh affairs, travelling to Westminster for the fourth week to represent Wales in administering the things that effect the whole of the UK. The Scottish MPs could do likewise, replacing the even more expensive Scottish Parliament.
 
The huge amount of money so saved  would very quickly reduce our national debt and should we at the same time stop paying sixteen billion pounds per year to the EU we would be out of debt and prosperous again, in charge of our own destiny and free from EU domination.
 
If at the same time we could replace the liberty takers and trough snufflers with men and women of honesty and integrity claiming reasonable recompense through an open and accountable system of remuneration this would be the icing on the cake.
 
A comment I am told was made by Abraham Lincoln was “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you cant fool all of the people all of the time.” There is a General Election in the near future and the chickens of the main parties are coming home to roost, so get out and vote for what you believe in, putting honesty and integrity before party loyalty. Perhaps if this were to happen the true price of politics could be greatly reduced.

British Consumers Under Fire From the EU

After 100 years of protection for British consumers, a proposed new EU directive aims to end refunds for shoddy goods in our high street stores.

The Sunday Express newspaper revealed today (Sunday 01 November, 2009) that the EU want’s to scrap all refunds by “removing that right and weakening safeguards”.

The story says  “the UK Government has no power to stop the change if it is backed by the majority of  European Union states. Worse still, if the law is passed retailers will be banned from “gold-plating” the legislation by continuing to offer money- back guarantees.”

Roy Norry of UKIP North Wales says “this is yet another startling example of how British MP’s have given away the ability of the British people to govern themselves, and it’s another example of how the unelected EU are walking roughshod over our rights and most basic protections”.

The Sunday Express says “The legislation, which would also cover goods bought over the phone or the internet, is designed to ensure the same level of consumer protection if shoppers buy goods in any EU member state”.

Roy Norry said “here is another example of how Great Britiain is being managed by the EU as if it were already a  ’state of Europe’ rather than a country in its own right. We’ve already lost our identity thanks to the treachery of our own career politicians, and worse still, I fear that it has been our own reluctance to vote at election time that has paved the way for them to sell us down the river to Europe,  in addition to Gordon Brown’s broken promise that the people of Britain could have a referendum on Europe. Every way you look at it, we’ve been turned over by our own treasonous elected officials and it’s almost too late to do anything about it.”

Who’s In Control? Warwick Nicholson Examines the Evidence.

warwick-nicholson-sYesterday I watched our Prime Minister  in Parliament when he addressed among other things,  the decision that has been taken to sell off part ( the profitable part) of Northern Rock. Whether that is a good or a bad decision doesn’t concern me greatly. My greatest concern is the fact that he went on to say that “……. we have received permission from Brussels.” 

Well now it seems that we are so under the control of the EU that even the day to day management of our domestic economy can only happen with the grant of permission by The EU.

Later I picked up a national daily newspaper to be confronted by the headline “Secret Plan for Euro Income Tax” an examination of the article showed that it is true that the EU does intend to extract from us even more of our money. Just how we will be further taxed has apparently not yet been decided. The leaked report was described by an EU spokesman as “a work in progress that will be presented by the end of the year.”

The pretence that the EU is not intended to be an all controlling superstate has been dropped after over thirty years of lies and deception by our  major political parties even though it is plain for all to see that the majority of the voting public are most certainly not in favour of being controlled by a foreign power that we have never voted for and may never be able to escape by any democratic means.

There is still a faint hope that Great Britain will once again become a free self governing country but it will take courage on the part of those who do vote, to vote for those who truly do stand  for a free and independent Britain, to  put country before party and to vote for what they believe in. To those who don’t vote, I would say try it, it doesn’t hurt a bit but the thought that you might vote really does worry some of our elected representatives. You can make a difference by voting.

By not voting you will ensure the dominance of the EU.

Warwick Nicholson.
