Hoping that the British electorate would not notice, the non-flash Gordon Brown sneaked into the Lisbon Summit and signed away the historical right of our Parliament to decide upon our laws and their administration. By turning up after all the delegates from the other 26 countries had signed the treaty, Brown managed to draw more attention here in Britain to the betrayal of our sovereignty whilst displaying adolescent rudeness to his opposite numbers in Europe.
In refusing to hold the referendum that Labour promised in its last election manifesto, Brown said it is not necessary because the treaty is different from the original draft ‘EU Constitution’, which the voters of France and Holland rejected. Yet most other European leaders have admitted that it is essentially the same. The term ‘constitution’ may have been dropped, but the new treaty will still give more power over foreign policy to unelected officials in Brussels; will have its own permanent president (Tony Blair, god help us?) and foreign secretary. The ‘red lines’ he claimed to have secured in the treaty to protect our interests are illusory.
As the polls show increasing support for the Tories (and 11-12 % for “others”, who are split between BNP and Greens), let us remember that Cameron said that if the Lisbon treaty was ratified then” we can’t go back”. His badgering of Brown to call for a referendum before the treaty was signed was mere play-acting. Because he knew that Brown was going to ignore all calls for a referendum.
As for the Lib-Dems, they have always been fully committed to the EU, and none more so than their new leader Nick Clegg , who looks and talks like a Cameron clone, albeit a slightly younger one.
On the main political issue of today, namely immigration, we would repeat what we said in our December editorial. Under EU law we can do little to restrict the residence of anyone from the other 26 member states. We also have no power to restrict the entry of asylum seekers, since this too is now decided upon by the EU. Under Article 62 the EU now also proposes to abolish any remaining controls “on persons, whatever their nationality, when crossing internal borders.” This means once immigrants from Asia, Africa or anywhere else have landed in Europe, or walked through the completely ineffective ‘borders’ in Poland and Slovakia, they can all come to Britain.
To solve UK immigration problems, we must withdraw from the EU.

I notice that the lib-dumb (CALAMITY CLEGG) party have indicated today that they will not now ‘abstain’ from the Lisbon Treaty vote but will vote with Labour! Surprise, surprise!
This means that any political gesturing from the few Labour and many Tories will be — absolutely POINTLESS! LIB/LAB/CON ALLIANCE RULES OK!!
Sorry for stating the bleedin’ obvious, but isn’t the answer withdrawal from the EU? Of course under EU law it is probably illegal to withdraw membership, but who in this country, apart from a few treacherous politicians, would worry about breaking some EU regulation? (Answer: no one.)
Yes lets get our of the EU. Will somebody please tell me what we get out of the EU apart from immigrants and asylum seekers.
‘Will somebody please tell me what we get out of the EU apart from immigrants and asylum seekers.’ Okay: More immigrants and asylum seekers.
You forgot enrichment apendragon, enrichment,
We have to get out of the EU to have any chance of solving the myriad problems that membership of
this corrupt organisation has caused us. Chief amongst them, of course,are unheard of levels of
immigration,but there are many others such as loss of sovereignity, ludicrous health and safety regulations and the Human Rights Act to name but a few. This is quite apart from the fact that since we joined we have paid many more billions in than we have got out.
Once again the indigenous majority have got absolutely no benefit whatsoever from joining this organisation.
Remember, if anyone tells you we would suffer by pulling out remind them that the two nations with the highest living standards in Europe are Switzerland and Norway, neither of whom are members.
As for other member states refusing to trade with us if we pull out, please don’t make me laugh, can you imagine Mercedes and BMW refusing to sell cars to Britain (which is their largest market after the USA ),no, neither can I. This is just one example,
there are countless others.
There is only one party commited to EU withdrawal and it is certainly not the Lab/Lib/Con alliance.
We brothers and sisters on this excellent site know the truth already.We have to take it to the masses and make them understand that apathy or even worse voting in these liars,hypocrites and pocket lining fraudsters will destroy what was once a beautiful and pleasant land
Totally agree onetruebrit.
