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
