You’re going to hear some crazy conspiracy theories about this over the next couple of years. A lot of them aren’t going to be far from the truth. The deliberate destruction of trust, value and purpose of the British working class with an eye to creating a “European labour class” that holds no loyalty to nationality, only to race, trading workers across the new Europe as traditional employment opportunities for the British working class decrease more and more. Meanwhile, the political class, the middle class, trade in property, construction and labour on a pan-European level.

Was Tony Blair responsible for moving the goal posts in British education? Limiting further education to the middle and upper classes, devaluing all qualifications below the new elite? Removing and blocking the potential for the new working class to be educated in trade and labour? Making the LEGAL influx of trained, efficient European workers justified?

Is this Tony Blair and his New Labour support’s reward for our debt? For our poor education standards? If you want to believe it is, then I’m not going to argue with you. This is conspiracy on incredible levels. The fact that it’s been known that Tony Blair would be president of Europe for almost a decade (long before the post existed and long before he was eligible to do such a job) definitely feeds the fear in my eyes. I don’t go for conspiracy on a broad scale, but this government, this European President. These are dark people, people with very real, very destructive agendas.

A selective view of European political history could definitely lead you to believe that Tony Blair as our unelected European President was an absolute inevitability. So it proves to be.

Are the BNP a necessary evil in the great scheme of the new Europe? Was it a surprise that Britain was the last territory to truly embrace the extreme views of a Far Left Party disguised as a Far Right Party?

I’m just saying this is a great one for interpretation. There’s no defending party politics in Europe when you look at the situation we’re facing here.

Apparent incompetence, the polls supported them for 10 years. Policy was made, opposed and ratified. The Lisbon Treaty, the war in Iraq, the anti-immigration campaign manufactured by the Labour Party through the tabloid newspapers (that’s not even theory, they’ve all but admitted to that). When Gordon Brown appeared on the Andrew Marr show a week after the European election results, he was asked whether he thought the BNP’s success was a message to him and his party. He smiled, he laughed and he said “I’m focused on saving British jobs. 200,000 of which are dependent on Europe”. Britain just voted overwhelmingly against Europe, from the BNP through UKIP and the Conservatives, but as has always been the case with this government; they’ll carry on regardless. Three dates mattered, one in 1997, one in 2001 and one in 2005. The New Labour definition of democracy in action. We have an unelected Prime Minister plunging us further and further into debt and decay, we’re about to have an unelected President of Europe (a Europe that the people of all corners think is a top heavy political monster) and a brand new “Ratified” Lisbon Treaty to tell us how we’ll work, when we’ll work and where we’ll work.

This isn’t an anti-European conspiracy. Europe is a great thing, it has great potential for trade and social links. But the European Union is so heavily politicised and so deeply corrupt that the idea of a European “Law” and a pan-European immigration policy should scare people to their very souls. These are things the EU are pushing for and are actually one Irish referendum away from legally implementing.

The French, Spanish, German, British, Dutch, Czech and Polish people are overwhelmingly finding voice within Europe by supporting extreme parties in the Proportional Representation system of Europe. Who is voting for this? Tony Blair promised us a referendum. Gordon Brown refused it.

The conspiracy writes itself. The reigning political class of Europe, they took what they needed from Germany, from Russia, from Thatcher and Regan. They are monsters, career monsters, driven by whips and greed.

Man, on the one hand I agree with everything you say but on the other I see it as feeding the fear: we are so much more powerful than this! If we could just wake ourselves up!
People, generally-speaking the majority of people, are apathetic, they’re focussed on getting by whatever way they can and forgetful of their part in the great body politic. Screaming at them that they’re about to be served up, stuffed, roasted, nice apple-sauce glaze on their roasted flesh, on a silver platter at the great EU banquet of self-serving corrupt and greedy pigs, is just noise, it doesn’t really make anyone feel like there’s a lot they can do: that’s why anyone with an imagination ends up getting the fuck out of this country, going somewhere cheap, hot and where a bit of baksheesh gets you by…
So it’s about waking up, getting some conscious awareness of what’s our actual reality (which, ultimately, is that we’re all human beings with the same needs, regardless of race, sex, class) and taking positive action wherever we can, in small ways, in personal ways, in big ways and within mass movements. There’s so much to just do, and the place to start is ALWAYS with your self and widening out from there…
Peace is possible, in my opinion, we just have to be able to see it in ourselves, and be open to change…
