Hiding From The Truth

Today brings yet more coverage of the ongoing struggle between Labour Party rebels and the Government over the partial privatisation of Royal Mail. Unsurprisingly most articles do not bring a single mention of the role of the European Union.

It never ceases to amaze me how newspapers and our media manage to ignore the elephant in the room on this issue which is, of course, EU regulatory and legislative influence.

Why, they wonder out loud in their inverted columns, are Gordon Brown and the Government so determined to privatise Royal Mail and risk unpopularity from their voters and backbench MPs? Many times has this important question been asked, but so very rarely has the real answer been revealed by our mainstream press.

As I had previously discussed here, here and here, the European Union’s Postal Service Directives are responsible for this latest bout of angst over privatisation. Many journalists and MPs know about these laws, but, because it is not part of their official narrative, they are publicly ignored, as if they did not even exist.

Desperately they struggle on, twisting and turning over the same old ground in a bitter attempt to come up with any reason, any excuse, anything about the privatisation of Royal Mail by the Labour Government, except to mention the EU dimension.

Yet, the power and influence of the EU can only be ignored for so long. I realise that there are many on the Left who have for some time seen it as an entirely favourable proposition to abolish Britain because it does not conform to their political vision.

Britain has retained its monarchy and yet is democratic, it was traditional and yet able to modernise, was capitalist but had a social conscience, and had a class system but did not present a bar to talent. According to the theories of the Left, Britain should not have existed, and so, slowly but surely, they have sought to make absolutely sure that it did not.

Britain is being dismantled before our very eyes, piece by piece. Centuries of tradition have and are being swept away to be replaced with bland conformism and blind allegiance to the benevolent new social and political order.

Yet, there are those within the Labour Party and the Left who still do not believe that capitulation to the anti-democratic European Union is right. These people must quickly learn that if they want to remain a member of the European Union then they will have to accept that their country will be run by the European Union to an ever increasing extent – with further privatisation down the road.

You cannot, as the Conservative Party pretends, find a solution between two such opposing ends of the spectrum. Either you pledge yourself to ‘ever closer union’ and privatisation, or leave.

Perhaps, for some of those on the Left, the privatisation of Royal Mail by their eurofanatical leaders will act as a wakeup call. The national institutions including the Postal Service that they cherish will be wiped away by Euro decree unless they make a stand.

But it cannot simply be a stand against their party’s leaders but a stand against our real Government in Brussels and for the rapid reimplementation of British Parliamentary sovereignty. Only then can we have an open and honest debate about privatisation. Only then will we be able to save our Postal Service.
