Credit Where It Is Due

  • Posted on the 22nd May 2009

I have not recently had much good to say about ConservativeHome and its founding Editor, Tim Montgomerie. I did disagree with his views on comments made by Lord Tebbit who urged voters to withdraw their support for the main parties.

I have also increasingly disliked the way in which ConservativeHome has become almost completely sycophantic towards the Conservative Party and its leadership, rather than remaining a home for conservative opinion that is independent of the political party as was originally the website’s core aim.

However, today Tim has made the right decision. He announced that he applied to join the Freedom Association’s Better Off Out campaign and stated unequivocally that he believes that Britain must leave the European Union. This is a view with which I fully and wholeheartedly agree – and which I’m glad Tim now shares.

Leaving the European Union is but a stepping stone towards the re-establishment of our national sovereignty, our Parliamentary democracy, and the implementation of the absolutely necessary conservative reforms that our society so desperately requires.

Yet, this is not the view of the Conservative Party, nor do I think it may ever be. The party has become too wrapped up with the desires of the liberal political class and national media, and far too interested in the pursuit of office for its own sake to take action over the detrimental nature and rule of ever closer union.

If Tim really believes that Britain should leave the European Union then he will eventually discover, as I have, that the Conservative Party is not the vehicle through which that will be achieved.

    I am stunned that there is still NO frothing at the mouth of any of our political ‘leaders’ on the television (or anywhere else for that matter). We are literally 4 months away from an election where the very fabric of our sovereignty is under a clear and present danger from the treacherous bastards currently occupying Number 10! I have never seen any government in my 40 years act with such spitefulness with their scorched Earth policy, knowing that they will not be any part of the next 5 years political wise.

    The people MUST be allowed to decide. If they (the people) decide overwhelmingly in favour of being a European Substate then I am more than willing to go along with the majority, that is, after all, what democracy is all about, isn’t it? Thanks to deliberate acts of gross incompetence from blair and brown re. wars/justice/immigration etc etc, our nation teeters on the edge of collapse at the hands of 26 foreign states (headed by a state that caused 2 world wars and its subjugated puppet throughout both of those wars, France who has ‘form’ in the surrender stakes via their treacherous Vichy ‘government’)whose sole aim is to get rid of democracy, a very freedom that we have held dear for many a decade. How very short sighted of the former soviet states to sign up for this ‘invasion’ after only a monumentally short period of having gained their freedom! Are they frightened of standing on their own 2 feet?

    The simple question that can only be asked now is DO WE WANT TO BE IN OR OUT OF EUROPE?

    I am sooooo incensed about the whole situation that bearing arms against our treacherous Liebour government seems to be the ONLY way forward now that Chicken Dave has bottled the fight!!!!! I am so sad that our great nation has been betrayed by TWO people and their myriad little group of underlings ie. Parliament; Her Majesty’s Government and Her Majesty’s opposition.
