My Reply to @RalfGrahn (Twitter) You never answer a straight question you still believe the EU is a democracy instead of it being a totalitarian one that isnt accountable to voters. The Political classes are the same the world over in it for themselves why do you think so many minorities worm their way onto councils? they promote their own agenda for other minorities and odd bods this is a fact from local councils, national parliaments & even more so with the cuckoo's that make up the corridors of power within the EU.

Just tell me when we elected Herman van Rumpoy or Barosso or Ashton or any of the other self serving spongers in to a position where they earn more money than President Obama? These people swan around the globe in separate Jets to the same destinations spending our money!

UK tax payers are still bailing out the Eurozone & the EU via the back door of the IMF We're supporting an entity thats bankrupt. It is selling its own debts to itself. Enron did that, its called a Ponzi scheme & their commandants are all locked up doing upto 150 years in Prison.

How long should Herman & Barosso be locked up for? They have feathered their own nests nicely while robbing us of a lot more than Enron ever lost. What other entity would get away with buying its own debt? that's like paying off your overdraft with a cheque from your current account.

Did you ever watch the Parrot sketch in monty Python? Well the Parrot is the Euro! here watch it at this link:

The European Union

The only countries that allowed their citizens a referendum over the #Euro currency, Sweden & Denmark both firmly rejected it. The Euro is simply a tool that is being used by the Un-elected in Brussels to make a power grab in their endeavor to create a European Empire.

Now for an Empire to work the peoples must want to be a part of that empire. The two biggest Empires of their day were the Roman Empire & the British Empire. The citizens of the conquered nations respected those same said Empires & wanted to be part of the game. 

Whatever country people were in they wanted to become citizens of those empires & they wanted to work with them to improve their lives & of those of their fellow citizens. They also wanted to do this within their own countries, they didn't want to flock to Rome or London they wanted to be citizens in their own countries & no better examples were the fabulous buildings that were built across the many continents around the world.

These countries grew more prosperous through trade, civilizations grew & prospered in places like India, Africa & China but as soon as these countries decided they didn't want to be a part of the grand design the various Empires disintegrated. 

Empires of old were kept together with the big stick of a Powerful Army & Gun Boat Diplomacy to back up what the politicians said. Now days as we have seen in the "Arab Spring" a big stick will see you take a visit to the Hague or worse an Arab court which may lead to a visit with your maker sooner rather than later.

The point is if the people don't want it, it will eventually end in violence it id just that the peoples in the Arab world are more inclined to take to the streets with morta shells & rocket propelled grenades & the odd Kalashnikov to bring this to a head.  We pat these armed insurgents on the back & defend them when the oppose un-elected totalitarian leaders, we offer arms & expertise to help them on their way yet we are the exact opposite when it comes to the European Union!

Who elected the likes of Jose Manuel Barroso or worse Herman van Rompuy who comes from a Member State that doesn't even have a functioning government, then we have  Catherine Ashton who swans around the globe telling people how to lives their lives & pretending she represents us! She doesn't represent me but here ever growing "Empire" is costing us all a small fortune, sorry did I say small? She & her entourage  The so-called European External Action Service (EEAS) will have an annual budget of £5.8 billion and an army of ambassadors across 137 embassies, with up to 7,000 Eurocrats trained to pursue the EU’s foreign policy.

The EU is not a state it is a trading block of nations & if the power grabbing un-elected Nazi styled rulers in Brussels had left it as such we should all be in an unequal equilibrium where currencies floated with or against the tide like seaweed rather than what we are facing now a Tsunami
