[kitchencabinetforum] THE LAND OF TORIES AND WHIGS

UK, the country of Tories and Whigs, has resolutely refused to adopt the euro and has stuck to the pound. The eurozone crisis does not bring harmjoy among the many euro critics. Britons do not gloat, because their prosperity greatly depends on the prosperity of eurozone. http://venitism.blogspot.com

Great Britain is now Little Britain, a slave state yoked to Brussels. Its fall was inevitable, but the economic crisis will shrink the last pretenses of empire faster than anyone expected. Suddenly, the sun that once never set on the British Empire is casting long shadows over what's left of Britain's imperial past.

This is a watershed moment for Uncle Ken (UK). The country's public debt is soaring. The great engine room of British prosperity, the financial sector, now feels like an anchor. The glory days of London are now grinding to a halt. The main symbol of Britain's global might, London found financing for some of the earliest and most prominent multinational companies, and has had greater influence on global finance than Westminster has had on geopolitics.

Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II of England, hates Greece, because they put his father Prince Andrew on trial, and he might have been executed. In 1922, they all had to flee. Prince Philip was a baby at the time and rarely returned. Disgusted of Greece in 1946, Prince Philip rejected his Greek citizenship and Greek royal titles, and converted from Greek Orthodoxy to Anglicanism. Moreover, Greeks have been ungrateful to Britons who helped them in myriad occasions. That's why the Queen, who travels to all corners of Earth, refuses to make the relatively short hop over to the birthplace of her husband. http://venitism.blogspot.com

The European Union Act of UK, which came into force in July 2011, states that any proposed future EU treaty or amendment to existing treaties and ratchet clauses that transfer competences or power from UK to the EU would require a referendum. An act of UK parliament is required before any EU law can take effect in Britain. Limited treaty changes which do not transfer powers from London to Brussels must still be approved by an act of parliament before UK can agree to them.

The decision by Cameron to block a Fourth Reich treaty change by using his country's veto power sparked a festive atmosphere among libertarian Europeans. Cameron has applied the very veto that former Prime Minister John Major should have used against the Maastricht Treaty, which created euro. We should just be grateful.

I congratulate Cameron on an undeniably brave decision. There is an exciting sense that we are at the beginning of a very profound change in which our tortured relationship with Fourth Reich will be redefined, at long last. UK has been a downtrodden wife stuck in a bad marriage, constantly threatening to go but never having the nerve. Now she is finally revolting, and it is bound to start a domino chain of secessions. Ever since Margaret Thatcher famously demanded "I want my money back," Britain has had to contribute less to the EU than the size of its economy would otherwise require.

Tory treasurer Peter Cruddas offered access to David Cameron and chancellor for £250,000! There is a video of him making the offer to undercover reporters. Cruddas was appointed Tory cotreasurer in June 2011. In the video, Cruddas is discussing what access different size donations would get: Two hundred grand to 250 is Premier League; what you would get is, when we talk about your donations the first thing we want to do is get you at the Cameron/Osborne dinners. You do really pick up a lot of information and when you see the Prime Minister, you're seeing David Cameron, not the Prime Minister. But within that room everything is confidential, you can ask him practically any question you want. If you're unhappy about something, we will listen to you and put it into the policy committee at number 10; we feed all feedback to the policy committee. http://venitism.blogspot.com
