EU Court of Justice rules criticising EU is illegal

The EU Court of Justice has ruled that it is illegal to criticise the EU in an unfair dismissal hearing.

Bernard Connolly, a world renowned economist, was sacked by the EU Commission after publishing a book criticising the EU's monetary union policy.  The EU Constitution Lisbon Treaty makes insulting the EU or its officials illegal which is presumably the legal basis for the EU Court ruling that Connolly had broken the law by criticising the EU.

It may not seem that important, it being little more than an industrial tribunal hearing, but it has implications for us all because EU courts have primacy over our own thanks to successive traitor governments who have allowed the House of Lords to be replaced as the ultimate legal authority in England with a "Supreme Court" that is subservient to the EU courts.  This ruling sets a precedent that will allow criticism of the EU to be criminalised across the board, euroscepticism made illegal and anti-EU political parties banned.

The EU gets more and more like a tuppeny h'appeny African Dictatorship every day. First we had the rank corruption and theft of funds and now we have the "Criticism will result in Jail" attitude. You coudn't get a cigarette paper between Rumpy Pumpy and Mugabe. Except Rumy Pumpy and his EUloons don't kill their own population.....yet.

I thought this was an April Fool's joke, but I realise you actually believe this tin hat nonsense.

This was a tribunal decision which ruled that Connolly's employers were justified in dismissing him for undermining them. This happens daily in employment tribunals in Britain and elsewhere. No company worth their salt would retain an employee hell bent on damaging them - it is called gross misconduct. It has no meaning for the 99.9% of us not employed by the EU. To spin this as a breach of civil liberties (as Ambrose Pritchard does) is actually a hard-left socialist argument which seriously undermines employers' rights.

And to derive from this into a vision of fascist mobs hunting down eurosceptics is not only preposterous, it borders on paranoid psychosis.

This is precisely the kind of deranged ranting that brings eurosceptics ridicule.

Even, so. It should not be too surprising in years to come to find that the EU (Kommie Kommizzars aux Bruxxelles) will try and force this issue through the EHCR to make criticisms, investigations, reporting on alleged corruption, or poking fun at EU officials, MEP's or its Bureaucrats a Criminal Offence. This is the ONLY way that the EU (EU-rine Land) is going to be able to crack the whip across different EU states to make them 'Toe the Line' and 'Obey Diktats' from the EU-rine Land's Politburo of Soviets. Of course - all this will be officially denied.

I jest at the moment, but sadly this could all come about in the coming years.

The European "Union" is only united by the the common peoples' of Europe's mutual distrust and dislike of the so-called union.
