EU campaigning High Court judge rules MPs must be allowed to block Brexit

Three High Court judges have ruled that the Prime Minister can't invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to begin the process of leaving the EU without parliamentary approval.

The judges have thrown out 800 years of precedent in ruling that the Crown can no longer enter into or repudiate treaties without the permission of Parliament. Ironically, the Remainiacs behind the case have been spinning the Royal Prerogative as a 13th Century anachronism that has no place in a modern democracy had their case heard by three unelected judges representing offices created in the 13th Century, sitting in a court that dates back to the 12th Century.

The ruling came as a surprise to most people and has been described as judicial activism. Lord Thomas, who led the hearing, is a founding member of the European Law Institute which was set up to promote the integration of legal systems in the EU.

The British government is appealing the decision to Supreme Court and farcically it could even end up in the European Court of Justice as the final court of appeal. The pound has experienced a temporary bounce as big business weighs up how much influence they're going to have in the decision through their extensive lobbying networks and the probability of Remainiac MPs keeping us tied into the protectionist single market.

It is unlikely that MPs will vote to block our independence but rather introduce so many amendments that whilst we'd technically be out of the EU there would be very little difference between being in and out. In the British government's £9m propaganda booklet they were very clear that the decision on leaving the EU was ours not theirs. They were also very clear that they would do what we decided. MPs have no moral right to block Brexit and judges have no legal right to change government policy.

UKIP should now be leading efforts to organise pro-Brexit protests all over the country. We have sat back and watched the Remainiacs protest against democracy confident that the clearly expressed wishes of the electorate would be honoured but with an increasing number of Remain supporters being placed on Brexit committees, a Remain-supporting Prime Minister and a High Court judge who actively campaigns for more EU integration overturning several centuries of precedent to try and stop Brexit it is clear that we now need a show of force against the corrupt establishment.

Austerity? What austerity?

Thousands of people attended anti-government protests organised by the taxpayer-funded trade unions against "austerity" yesterday.

Cost/Benefit analysis of
yesterday's protests

In Greece, where the Greek government has implemented a severe austerity package mandated by the EU, they've seen budget cuts equivalent to 1.5% of GDP, minimum wage decreased, 30k civil servants suspended on reduced wage, new property taxes, new ex-pat property taxes, permanent budget oversight by the EU, EU Central Bank and IMF, all international aid apart from compulsory payments into the EU bailout fund stopped and unemployment has reached 22%.

Here, every government budget has been increased, minimum wage has increased, the number of civil servants is decreasing at the same rate as they have since Labour started cutting them in 2005 and international aid has been increased to maintain position as second largest aid donor in the world.

Greeks, Portuguese and Spanish say no more austerity

The Greek President has warned the EU/ECB/IMF plutocrats sent in to oversee the implementation of punishing EU austerity that the Greek nation can't take any more.

Unemployment is still rising and 1 in 4 Greeks are now out of work but the EU sill wants more cutbacks and sackings.

Karolos Papoulis said:

Up until now, we've been receiving a merciless lashing.  I think we have paid enough for our mistakes, and Europe must realize that it needs to help Greece.

Meanwhile, over 100,000 people have protested in the Portuguese capital (and ironically the city that gives its name to the hated treaty that gives the EU almost limitless power), Lisbon, today against more tax rises and EU austerity.  Tens of thousands of Spaniards also descended on Madrid today in protest at tax increases and spending cuts.

So what is the EU's answer to the widespread dissent and opposition to the damaging austerity measures it has imposed on most of the continent?  Emperor Barroso called for ...

a democratic federation of nation states that can tackle our common problems, through the sharing of sovereignty

Nigel Farage responded to this by telling Barroso it was an "emerging, creeping euro-dictatorship" but that ...

The only good news from today is that you’ve helped to bring that referendum just a little bit closer

The europhiles just don't get it do they?  People are demonstrating on the streets of European capitals at EU taxes and austerity so the europhiles call for deeper cuts, more taxes and the abolition of the nation state.  It's unbelievable.

Violent protests in Greece

Protests in Athens turned violent again yesterday with ordinary Greeks protesting against their government's attempts to plunge Greece even further into debt to avoid the inevitable default on their national debt.

Greece has already been bailed out once and with the latest proposed bailout, will owe the EU and the IMF €110bn just from the bailouts.  The current proposed EU bailout of €12bn (plus a few billion more from the IMF which the UK will be contributing to despite Cameron's Cast Iron Promise™ that we would not be part of another Greek bailout) is conditional on the Greek government implementing a €28bn EU-approved austerity plan which 70% of Greeks oppose.

The Greek government finds itself in a quite unique position in that the Greek people aren't asking their government to sort out their economy, they're demanding that they default on their debts and bankrupt the country.  And why not?  There is no way out of this for Greece, they will have to be bailed out over and over again until they default.  They will be paying back the EU and the IMF for generations, if they can ever afford to pay them back at all.  The British government has indebted our children and our grandchildren bailing out the Scottish banks but the Greeks are burying their grandchildren's children and grandchildren in debt.

The only way out for Greece is to default on its debt, reject the EU's austerity plan, refuse any more bailouts and leave the Euro.  You can't grow an economy if people don't have money in their pockets and you can't deal with rampant inflation or crippling exchange rates if your currency is pegged at a rate that suits Germany.
