Stephen Kinnock, MP for Copenhagen

Neil Kinnock's son, Stephen Kinnock, has been selected as a Labour candidate for the safe seat of Aberavon.

Stephen Kinnock, soon to be MP for Aberavon, Denmark

Kinnock is married to the Danish Prime Minister and is based in London which makes the rich and powerful son of millionaire peers the obvious choice to stand as an MP for a working class constituency in South Wales. Any claims of nepotism will no doubt be strenuously denied by the Labour Party who will undoubtedly have a plausible explanation as to why a part-time MP who's never had a proper job in his life and spends half his week in London and the other half in Denmark will be able to effectively represent a constituency nearly 200 miles away.

Aberavon has had a Labour MP since 1922 so it looks like we'll be seeing the MP for Copenhagen taking his seat in Westminster next year.

Who knew there was an EU directive on interbreeding giraffes?

Copenhagen Zoo is planning to put down an 18 month old giraffe because EU rules on interbreeding mean that they can't allow it to breed with the giraffes they already have.

Animal rights campaigners are trying to save the animal but the zoo have been unable to relocate it. They intend to kill the giraffe with a bolt gun, dissect it and feed the meat to other animals.

Even baby giraffes aren't safe from the EU!

Update:
Marius was put down this morning.

Update 2:
Some anti-UKIP tweeters have criticised this post because the rules on interbreeding are made by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria which isn't part of the EU. The EAZA make have made the rules but they are implemented by EU Directive 1999/22/EC which became law in England in 2002 (2003 for Scotland, Wales and NI) and further clarified in the British government's Zoo Expert Committee Handbook.

Gordon is leading the EU, apparently

The British Climate Change Minister, Joan Ruddock, was interviewed this morning on BBC Breakfast from the Copenhagen World Government Climate Change Conference.

Throughout the 5 minute interview she talked constantly about the European Empire - the offers it has made, the deals it has done, the laws it has passed, the promises it has made and of course, Gordon Brown is leading it (seriously, she said Gordon Brown was leading the EU at Copenhagen!).  When asked what the British government was doing she went straight back to the European Empire again.

The reason?  We are entirely in the hands of the European Empire as far as this charade goes because when Gordon Brown signed the Lisbon Treaty/EU Constitution, he gave the EU unlimited and exclusive control over "combatting climate change" without a national veto.  If the EU issued a directive saying all cows had to be ritually sacrificed and used to build a bridge over the Channel and the entire population were allowed to eat nothing but lettuce and celery, the British government would be legally obliged to carry it out.

Nick Griffin to represent EU in Copenhagen

The sad news that the Lisbon Treaty/EU Constitution comes into force today, ending the 1,082 year history of England as an independent, unified state is made slightly more palatable by the news that the Peoples Republic of the EU will be represented at the Copenhagen Global Socialist Government Climate Change Summit by Nick Griffin.

Not only is Nick Griffin a man-made climate change sceptic but he's also a bumbling, racist embarrassment and the European Empire's first major summit as a country in its own right will see a nationalist socialist representing it.  You couldn't make it up.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Green Party said:

He is one of a number of members of the European Parliament who will go on a delegation.  He won't get the right to speak. The Parliament sadly doesn't even get the right to really influence the decisions at al.

What good EUropeans the Green Party are.  As the leader of a pro-EU party, you'd have thought that Caroline Lucas would have realised that the Peoples Republic of the European Empire now has complete, unvetoed control over climate change policy for all member states.
