It's been a while...

A nice bit of Friday morning Littlejohn for you all...

 

 

 

Blair is a bigger threat to Britain than Captain Hook

 

IF we are not careful, we will wake up in a few years time and find that everything we hold dear, our values, our history, our traditional freedoms, have been destroyed by a man who appears to have no history of his own, no principles and no respect for the vast majority of people who put him in to office.

 

THAT was my verdict on Tony Blair in the first column I wrote on my return to The Sun in February 1998.

 

In refusing a referendum on the European Union Constitution, which will end 1,000 years of Britain as an independent, sovereign nation, Blair is determined to prove me right.

 

If his support for the war on terror was Blair at his best, then his behaviour this week has been Blair at his very worst.

 

The contempt and arrogance with which he brushed aside the right of the free-born British people to determine our own future was the real Blair.

 

In the run-up to the war in Iraq, it was tempting to believe that the scales had truly fallen from the Prime Minister's eyes, that he had finally awoken to the treachery of our so-called "partners" in Europe.

 

Many believed he had rediscovered Britain's role in the world, as a resolute ally of the USA, arms length from Old Europe.

 

How could he contemplate "ever closer union"? How could he surrender still more of our independence to the corrupt, bureaucratic, undemocratic European Union?

 

Surely the past few months had taught him that Britain would never be "at the heart of Europe". The treachery of the French and Germans had exposed the myth of British "influence".

 

How could he for a moment entertain the notion of handing over all foreign policy decisions to Brussels and putting our forces under the command of a Ruritanian European Army?

 

The war hadn't only liberated Iraq, it would free the British people from the European yoke.

 

Some fantasists even entertained the idea that, emboldened by victory, Blair would find the courage to renegotiate the terms of our EU membership.

 

The impending arrival of 10 countries from "New Europe" would herald a looser arrangement, based on free trade and co-operation and cast aside the straightjacket of regulation.

 

The euro was an idea whose time had come and gone. If the impossibility of setting one interest rate and running one monetary policy to suit 12 countries had crippled the economies of Continental Europe, how could it ever work with 25 member states?

 

For a brief moment, those who hold Britain's independence dear and despair at the dead hand of European government slept a little easier.

 

Blair was 50. He'd grown up.

 

Except it hasn't turned out that way. Nor was it ever going to.

 

As soon as the shooting stopped, Blair reverted to type.

 

The post 9/11, pro-American, freedom-loving hammer of the Franco-German surrender monkeys, defender of British independence, was an aberration not a change of character.

 

Blair has learned nothing from the past few months. In fact, he's learned nothing from the past few years.

 

As soon as the shooting stopped it was business as usual, back to grovelling to the French and

 

You'd have thought it might have dawned on him by now that these are not governments you can do business with.

 

They did him up like a kipper at his first-ever European summit shortly after he moved in to Downing Street. And they've been at it ever since.

 

They will take all the concessions he has to offer, bank them and press for more without conceding anything in return. Blair has no more influence in the councils of the EU than Clare Short had in the Cabinet.

 

The real surrender monkey in Europe is Blair. There's nothing he won't sacrifice, even though it's not his to give away.

 

And there's the rub. As I said on Tuesday, Britain doesn't belong to Blair.

 

It's not his personal property to dispose of as he wishes.

 

Britain belongs to the British people and he has no mandate to sell our birthright.

 

Blair's like an estate agent who puts his board up in your garden in the dead of night and then sells your house while you're out at work.

 

Until now, he's got away with it. Powers have been passed to Brussels without debate, without a vote in Parliament, without the consent of the British people, like so many pieces of old furniture.

 

Having disposed of the fixtures and fittings he's now preparing to knock down the whole building.

 

Unless we're very careful, we'll come home one day and there will be nothing left on the site of the Britain we know and love other than a pile of rubble and a fleet of foreign bulldozers.

 

That will be the effect of Blair signing us up to the European Union Constitution.

 

And if we don't make a stand, there will be nothing we can do about it.

 

There is a clear and present danger to our existence as a free, sovereign nation.

 

Blair's game plan has always been the destruction of the United Kingdom. It began with devolution and is continuing with the ludicrous introduction of regional "parliaments", which owe nothing to history or accountability and everything to the Brussels masterplan for a federal Europe.

 

The constitution, with one flag, one government, one currency, one country called Europe, is the final nail in the coffin of our once-proud nation.

 

Blair won't give us a vote because he isn't a democrat in the traditional sense. The ballot box is just one arrow in his quiver, along with statutory instruments, directives, "human rights" laws.

 

It's not about the will of the people, it's about the means to an end.

 

If voting will deliver what he wants, fine. If not, don't hold a vote.

 

Peter Mandelson, Blair's Siamese twin, once said: "The era of pure representative democracy is coming to an end."

 

That's what Blair means by "what works". That's how they do things in Europe. That's why politicians are so attracted to it.

 

But even on the Continent, they are putting it to a vote. Blair won't dare.

 

It's an act of pure cowardice.

 

Blair is a bigger threat to Britain than Captain Hook, the mad mullah he wants to strip of his British citizenship.

 

Captain Hook only wants to recruit a few misguided young men to blow themselves up.

 

Blair thinks he can get away with tricking a whole nation into committing suicide. He wants to strip us all of our British citizenship.

 

The few years I wrote about in 1998 have been and are almost gone. The clock is ticking.

 

Time to wake up before it's too late.
