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 [...]

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 [...]

Ireland reaches for the KY again

By scrubber | Published: March 17, 2011
The first of two hat-tips to Daniel Hannan today. This is for his excellent article on the way Ireland continues to be treated by the EU. That is, with contempt, arrogance and disdain. He speculates that Fianna Fáil will return to its nationalist roots, but prefaces that with the following: “Fianna Fáil is not easy to pin [...]

The People’s Pledge.

By scrubber | Published: March 15, 2011

The full article is here, and I urge all our Eurosceptic readers to read it in full. That said, here follows a couple of snippets: “Today sees the launch of a major cross-party campaign for a [...]

How the left loves to censor free speech.

By scrubber | Published: February 8, 2011
Daniel Hannan has written about this several times, and he’s right, the left does love to censor free speech. He writes here and here about the hypocrisy of the left, and the way it uses insults and spittle-flecked invective to sully its opponents. However, today I want to draw readers’ attention to an article in today’s [...]

Hannan vs Farage in the European Parliament

By scrubber | Published: December 15, 2010
There are many out there who criticise Nigel Farage for his speeches in the European Parliament just as there are many out there who, like me, admire him for them. As we all know, he’s been hauled over the coals in the past by the Powers-That-Be, and taken a great deal of stick in the [...]

UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom escorted form the European Parliament Chamber

By scrubber | Published: November 25, 2010
Most of you will have heard by now that Godfrey Bloom was thrown out of the chamber of the European Parliament yesterday after being gratuitously rude to the Euro-Socialist leader, Martin Schulz. Mr. Shulz was claiming that the UK was standing in the way of European integration, and Mr. Bloom, unable to contain himself, burst [...]

Suffering from election fatigue?

By DiamondGeezer | Published: April 28, 2010
I think I probably am, but not in the ways you might immediately think. In this era of media- and spin-led politics, we are seemingly interminably subjected to a constant barrage of soundbites, ‘news’, glad-handing, palm-pressing, baby-kissing and any other inconsequential drivel that our political classes and their sycophants in the media care to inflict upon [...]

Euro-referendum: it might just happen…

By scrubber | Published: April 9, 2010
A bit late in the day, I know – we’ve all been snowed under recently – but I just picked this up from Daniel Hannan’s blog. My initial feeling, borne out by reading the comments after the blog, was that this was some CCHQ spin to try to counter the defections to UKIP by core [...]
