EU REFERENDUM: WHO SPEAKS FOR YOU?
Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission Post # 1-of-4 on the subject of the UK’s EU Referendum: how will you decide which way to vote? A Punter’s Guide. Who Speaks for You? Hello and welcome to Moraymint Chatter. I’m assuming you’re here because you saw the notice I placed in […]
THE EUROPEAN UNION: MAKE ME LARF
If you’re wondering whether, come 23 June, you want to be a Brit or a citizen of the European Union (it’s one or the other; you can’t be both), then you need to watch this presentation by Boris Johnson. Show me one politician, just one politician from the ‘Remain in the EU’ side who has […]
EUROPEAN UNION: IN OR OUT?
Councillor Allan Wright (Convener, Moray Council) appended his signature to a letter to the The Daily Telegraph earlier this week expressing support for Britain’s membership of a reformed European Union (EU). The fact that the EU is not open to reform seems to have slipped the notice of the signatories to the letter. If you’ve […]
BORIS JOINS THE LEAVERS
It remains to be seen whether it’s encouraging to know that Boris Johnson is supporting Brexit. However, we shouldn’t delude ourselves as to the challenge ahead for those of us arguing the case for the restoration of the sovereignty of the United Kingdom. Why? Well, because the European Union is an institution founded upon deceit […]
CHRISTMAS AND SO-CALLED ISLAMIC STATE
Heresy The debate rages about whether we should cuddle up to Islam, or destroy it. Our Establishment elite exhorts us to love Muslims; to do anything else makes one a fascist. Meantime, the British government sets about bombing Islamic State. The BBC struggles with this one a bit and almost chokes on the term, ‘Islamic […]
IMMIGRATION TO THE UK – THE FACTS
As the debate (if you can seriously call it that) about the rate of migration onto the shores of our relatively small island becomes ever more frenetic, it’s always worth staying focused on the facts of the matter – which are pretty horrendous regardless of your political, philosophical or religious persuasion. Migration Watch – an independent, […]
PATRIOTIC VOICES FROM EUROPE – THE BBC WON’T BE REPORTING THIS SPEECH
UKIP’s leader, Nigel Farage, is in Washington where he made a speech to the Heritage Foundation. If a British mainstream politician had made this speech – ‘Patriotic Voices From Europe – there’s a real chance that the BBC would have reported it. However, since the speech was made by Mr Farage, there was and remains no […]
GREECE – THE EURO AND GROUPTHINK
As the Greek government, a paragon of economic and political ineptitude, pressed and bullied by the European Union, moves to impose yet more austerity on its people, a thought comes to mind. The desperate attempts to keep Greece locked in to the euro currency – and with it Greece’s total socio-economic destruction – will go […]
PERHAPS EUROPEANS ARE WAKING UP?
Some quick, spur of the moment thoughts about unfolding events in the Balkans and the Lower Danube. I’m referring to Greece, of course, which is in Europe, kind of. Although you’d never know the Greeks were Europeans from the way they’re being treated by their European Union compatriots. This ‘ever closer union’ thing is brilliant, isn’t it? […]
IMMIGRATION AT RECORD HIGH (AGAIN)
Note: the image above is a mistake. The word ‘No’ should be inserted after ‘UK’ and before ‘Border’. So, last year saw the addition of about one Coventry’s worth of new citizens to the population of the UK; some 318,000 people. Our nation is grappling to accommodate and provide work and public services for one […]
