Like many Scots, I am now thinking seriously about leaving my country and flitting to England. The National Socialist Workers’ Party of Scotland, formerly confined to six seats in northern Scotland, now holds 56 of Scotland’s 59 seats in the Westminster Parliament. It may not be safe to stay.
This outright victory for totalitarianism, just months after the National Socialists were defeated in a referendum vote on breaking Scotland off from the U.K., was achieved in part by brute force.
National Socialist thugs defaced and tore down other parties’ posters, painted slogans on their opponents’ walls, trampled their gardens and even menaced voters in at least one polling station, threatening them that if they did not vote for a National Socialist, there would be trouble.
I first came across this habit of intimidation on the part of the National Socialists when I attended an election count in the constituency of the then leader, Alex von Salmond, in 1997. Groups of National Socialist Neanderthals were running about, waving their fists, yelling and generally acting in breach of the Queen’s peace and terrorizing the neighborhood. Prudent householders in the usually douce townlet of Banff fastened up their doors and windows and cowered indoors.
Canvassing for the United Kingdom Independence Party, our supporters are so used to foul-mouthed intimidation from the National Socialists that we now have a standard routine for dealing with it.
Knock, knock. Door answered. “We’re canvassing on behalf of UKIP.” Thuggish householder: shouting, cursing, effing, blinding, fist-shaking. UKIP: “Oh, I’m so sorry: we hadn’t realized you were a National Socialist.” Thug (suspiciously): “What way did ye ken Ah wis a Nationalist? Eh? EH?” UKIP: “Only the National Socialist Workers’ Party of Scotland behaves as you just did.” Smile. Withdraw while the knuckle-dragging thug is very slowly working out the meaning of the answer.
In England and Wales, the general election result was an unexpected overall majority for the center-left “Conservative” Party of Dave Cameron. True, the nation gasped in relief at having been spared the “leadership” of Call-Me-Ed Milliband, the bought-and-paid-for hard-left creature of the unreformed public-sector trades unions. True, the only freedom-loving party – UKIP – tripled its share of the vote and got one vote in eight. Yet that surge gave it one parliamentary seat out of 650.
The Conservative Party of Call-Me-Dave is not the Conservative Party of Margaret Thatcher. She would have given us a referendum on the E.U. before acceding to the outright abandonment of British independence and democracy to which her useless successor, John Major, consented when he signed up to the Maastricht Treaty, an instrument of national suicide that canceled Magna Carta and made the unelected Kommissars of Brussels the ultimate sovereign law-making authority in Britain.
Call-Me-Dave has promised the people a referendum on our continued membership of the European tyranny-by-clerk. But he had promised us that before, and had found ingenious ways to wriggle out of his promise. There will now be a pantomime of renegotiation with Brussels, as a result of which Call-Me-Dave will present a handful of token concessions from the Kommissars as though it were some sort of victory for Britain. This time there may even be a referendum. And there is at least a chance that the people will not be fooled by the hollow promises from Brussels and will vote to restore the elected Westminster Parliament as the supreme law-making body for Britain.
The sad thing about having a totalitarian prime minister is that Call-Me-Dave is an enthusiastic supporter not only of the European tyranny but also of the United Nations’ proposal to establish itself as a “governing body” for the Earth at the Paris climate summit in December this year.
Fatuously, Call-Me-Dave recently signed a concordat with the now largely wiped-out “Labor” Party and the near-totally extinct “Liberal” “Democrats” committing the three parties to working together to save the planet from unbridled global warming. Actually, there hasn’t been any global warming for 18 years and five months, but Britain’s party leaders have nevertheless banded together in a Canute-like gesture of egregious futility.
Call-Me-Dave cannot be trusted to do the one thing that must at all costs be done in the Paris negotiations. It is essential that a secession clause be inserted in the draft Paris treaty. Such clauses are customary in international treaties: For instance, in the Kyoto Protocol, there is a get-out clause that allows any state that had signed up to the treaty to give six months’ notice and break free of all obligations without obstacle or penalty.
At present, there is no such get-out clause in the draft Paris treaty, just as there was no such clause in the European Community’s treaties at the time when Britain foolishly joined.
The people of Britain do not want to be governed by an E.U. tyranny. And they will find, in due course, that the idea of being governed by a U.N. tyranny is still more repellent. But that is what the three major parties have agreed they will support. Only the freedom-loving UKIP stands against this new menace to our democracy and to yours.
Our energy and climate spokesman, Roger Helmer, put it this way in UKIP’s manifesto: “The Greens are not friends of the Earth: They are enemies of the people.”
The saddest political development of the era following the Second World War has been the inexorable transfer of political power and financial wealth from elected hands in the democratic nations to the unelected hands of supranational entities such as the U.N. and the E.U. Not one of the growing number of global institutions – Framework Convention on Climate Change, World Bank, Law of the Sea Convention, etc., etc. – is an elected body.
And that is why the U.K. general election was a double victory for totalitarianism and a defeat for liberty. The governing Conservative Party would have had an enormous overall majority this time if it had heeded so many of its own members who, like me, have left it for UKIP because we want our democracy back and we do not want the E.U. or the U.N. governing us.
As it is, Call-Me-Dave has a small majority that will be enough for the next year or two. But, as Conservative MPs die or retire, and by-elections favor his opponents, his majority will dwindle and, in the end, he will be defeated. And all because he does not believe – not for an instant – that the people are fit to rule.
Your Founding Fathers brought about a great revolution when they decided, at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention, that only the people are fit to rule. Ever since then, the governing class has been nibbling away at the people’s right to govern via the ballot box. Within months, in Paris, that right will be invisibly extinguished.
Yes, you will still have a vote. But, just like our recent election, your elections will mean nothing. For after December the real political power will be elsewhere, beyond all hope of recall.
