The fourth Reich?

By scrubber | Published: November 16, 2011
The Daily Mail, in classic “Hun-baiting” fashion has had a pop at the Germans today. Entitled “Europe speaks German now!“, it centres on comments made by one Volker Kauder who is one of Angela Merkel’s closest allies. He is, in fact, the parliamentary leader of Merkel’s CDU party and he made the comments in a [...]

EU Referendum vote…

By scrubber | Published: October 28, 2011
I have a lot to say about this, none of it positive to Cameron and his acolytes, but as can be seen from the paucity of posts lately, no time to write it down. However, I can let Mr Farage say some of it for me: Wikio Wikio

The Brussels Bunglers have no Plan B

By scrubber | Published: June 29, 2011
As the tragedy of Greek debt continues, the EU leaders, as can be seen in the following video, openly admit that there is no Plan B. Their only option, the only one they have considered and will consider, is another bail-out. This despite the fact that the previous one didn’t work (and nor will this [...]

The European Renewable Energy Council is taxpayer-funded

By scrubber | Published: June 20, 2011
In my blog yesterday I referred to a posting by Christopher Booker and included a quote from it which in turn included the following: “It was based solely on a paper co-authored last year by an employee of Greenpeace International and something called the European Renewable Energy Council.

If Monty Python did Euro-ceremonies…

By scrubber | Published: May 10, 2011
People often ask me why I’m Euro-sceptic. Well, the following nicely illustrates a tiny part of that. Yesterday was Europe Day, a day after what we in the UK used to call VE-Day… Firstly, in the following film, take note of the German Eagle, the militarism, the guns, the inability to properly raise the flag, the [...]

EU plans to ban all petrol and diesel cars from cities

By scrubber | Published: April 1, 2011
So, the question is, are the loonies in charge of the asylum? In a crystal-clear example of why the political obsession with AGW is dangerous, EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas, unveiling plans adopted by the Commission on Monday for a ‘Single European Transport Area’, has decreed that in order to to save the planet, the EU’s [...]

So, that’ll be a no then…

By scrubber | Published: March 30, 2011
In the unlikely event that any of you thought our dear old friend Jonah Snot-Gobbler was the only politician capable of totally obfuscating a non-answer to a simple question, here is proof positive that he wasn’t. Rejoice in watching Dave “cast-iron” Cameron totally failing to answer the somewhat important question (from Bill Cash MP) of [...]

Rumpy-Pumpy: hypocrite? Moi?

By scrubber | Published: March 17, 2011
Second hat-tip of the day to Daniel Hannan. This time, for a great article, containing two excellent film clips. The first of the excellent Nigel Farage roasting Rumpy again, and the second of a Belgian MEP, Derk-Jan Eppink – of whom I have been in blissful ignorance, to be fair – who really does a [...]
