Once again we are being subjected to a piece of European interference with our laws about which there is little if anything we seem able to do. They now wish society to extend the right to vote to those who have repudiated the norms of civil society by committing crimes against the laws of the land. They wish thieves and murderers and rapists and drug pushers to have the same rights as law abiding citizens when it comes to electing our representatives in Parliament and on Councils. This is a decision that flies in the face of common sense; after all they are locked up because they are a negative influence upon society at large.
We lock criminals up for the very good reason that they are not fit to live amongst the rest of us by virtue of their anti-social behaviour and as such they should forego the rights and privileges the rest of us enjoy whilst they are incarcerated.
This latest piece of Euro garbage follows hot on the heels of last weeks debacle at the European council when we were effectively told that whilst we here at home must endure cuts in services and higher taxation to help restore our economy, our unelected Euro Politburo need more money for new offices and higher wages and more staff and it seems there is precious little we can do about it under the present treaty arrangements.
I have no desire to live in a country where we must work until we are 66 or even 70 so the indolent French and Greeks can continue to retire at 62 or 60 or whatever, if they want that luxury then they should pay for it, not me or you.
The time has now come for our Parliament to say NO to these increasing demands upon our wallets and NO to these impositions on the way we rule ourselves. Don’t negotiate with them, don’t argue with them, just say no and keep the cheque book in the pocket. Europe needs the UK far more than the UK needs Europe.
Just tell Barroso and Van Rompuy and the others to go and take a running jump!
