Here is a little bit about the content of the EU Treaties, signed by each British Prime Minister from Edward Heath onwards. The British public have been told that these Treaties only tie up loose ends etc. or that they are too complicated to understand for ordinary people. However, these Treaties DO affect our lives and our future as well as generations of people to come. So here are some of the main topics dealt with in the Treaties and rubber stamped by the British Government:
There have been six EU Treaties in all, none of which have been put to the public vote in England and many other EU countries. The Treaty of Rome wasted no time in taking control of the UK’s fishing industries, destroying many people’s livelihoods and also depleting the stocks of the once abundant fish filled waters around the UK coast. The second Treaty, ‘The Single European Act’ was signed by Margaret Thatcher, and it brought the UK much more into the control of the EU by introducing the Qualified Majority Voting (QMV). This introduced legislation over the working conditions within the EU member countries. The Maastricht Treaty, signed by ex-Prime Minister John Major, made sure that the population would now be truly the Citizenship of the EU System. In this Treaty the European courts were allowed to take jurisdiction over the UK’s courts. The Maastricht Treaty also took control of the Transport system and the Armed Forces. Not only these things, but also the economy; the exchange rate mechanism was tied to the Deutschmark, so the UK no longer controlled its own economy. There is also Regionalisation under this Treaty, the breaking down of countries into regions within the EU, this is going through our parliament at the present time, presented as the Localism Bill. The South of England is already earmarked to become the Arc Manche Region with its capital in Paris.
Tony Blair made sure that he signed the Consolidated Treaty in Amsterdam, without a hint of the public knowing what it was about. This Treaty gave the EU the power of control over local aid, people would need permission from the EU on local matters where they live. For instance, the Post Office in the UK, which deals with mail delivery and saving accounts etc, had a network of shops throughout the country, a lifeline to most people, especially the elderly, some of whom live in remote areas. The EU deemed the Post Office to be unfit, so the EU introduced Competition Laws, saying that the Post Office has unfair advantage over competitors and therefore it should shut many of its branches. And, of course, there is no competition to match the Post Office, it’s just another sorely missed service that the people of the UK are losing, as the EU reduce more of our structured society. The Police are another service the UK may lose as the EU are training their own Police Force; the officers are actually being trained now, and your guess is as good as mine as to whether they will be armed.
The Nice Treaty saw Britain abandoning its veto, therefore if ordered to fund part of the bailout for the countries in the Euro, such as Greece, then Britain has no choice other than to hand the money over. Eurojust, Corpus Juris is the EU criminal justice system which will mean that people will no longer be tried by Jury, plus instead of the prosecutors having to prove a defendant’s guilt, the defendant will be responsible for proving their own innocence. The Nice Treaty also saw an outline for banning political parties and introducing Human Rights, (which has been used by criminals to escape punishment and deportation from countries where they have committed crimes). The EU passed legislation for arrest warrants to be issued in any country in the EU to pick up people in Britain or any other member country, if they are suspected of an offence. There is no appeal in Britain, no evidence has to be shown to the British Authorities, the warrants ensure that the person is taken to the source country and people can be held for up to 9 months in a foreign jail before any charges are brought.
The Lisbon Treat was hastily ratified by the then Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Brown knew that people wanted a referendum on this treaty being signed, but he had little respect for public opinion. This Treaty destroys the British Constitution, on which America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have based their own Constitutions. The British Constitution, incorporated by the 1000 year old Common Law has been ditched for EU Fundamental rights. It basically means that the EU can withdraw Human Rights as it sees fit. The Lisbon Treaty actually made the EU a State in itself, gave it a personality as a country. Labour Party politician Keith Vaz played this Treaty down to the public by announcing that it had no more effect on the British public than a copy of the Beano (although he has since joined the EU rebels and is supporting a referendum on the membership of Europe), when in fact, it destroyed everything the UK had been built on in respect of human rights. The EU have taken no chances, Prime Minister David Cameron deceived the public when he said he would give them a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, then he refused, but he declared that he would give a referendum on any changes to the Treaty that would give more power to Europe. He failed to mention article 1-18 Flexibility Clause Pastoral – If the Treaty doesn’t give the EU power, this clause lets it do so!
As you may find, many people still assume that the British Government are ruling the UK because of the lack of media coverage, especially on Britain's tv news channels. So making it a priority to get the information to the people about how the EU countries are now being ruled directly by Brussels, MEP for the UK Independence Party, Trevor Coleman, has a website called thEUnit. Mr Coleman and his 5 colleagues who are working on the website, update it daily with the new EU laws as they are created. They also list the top ten laws that affect the UK the most. The site hasn't got a political slant for UKIP, it is there solely to inform, and they have trained speakers to travel around the country giving talks to inform the public about what is going on. There is no apparent reasons why the government are not putting EU policies on the news, unless they consider that the population will take exception to losing their sovereignty, but how long can they keep up the charade? If you wish to have a speaker come to your area in the SW of Britain, go to thEUnit website for contact details.
