EU Empire's Squalid Stitch-Up

Two unelected non-entities are the faceless faces of an EU superstate in an outrageous stitch-up by Europe's ruling elite. Cunning Brown pulled a fast one, slipping his quangocrat crony into a top job, leaving a shocking undemocratic legacy. EU can't make it up.

The UK already has an unelected head of state and two unelected prime ministers in Brown and Mandelson. Now a new boss of the EUSSR is set to join them with a New Labour crony by his side.

Van What? and Baroness Who? An obscure unelected president and foreign minister of an all powerful faceless facade, now call the shots on sovereign domestic, foreign and military policy.

In a rare show of solidarity, unlikely bedfellows the Mail and Guardian came to the same conclusion and same front page headlines - The Great EU Stitch-Up.

Riding rough shod over democracy, a staunch Belgian federalist and former health authority chairwoman were plucked from obscurity for the two powerful jobs, after Euro Club 27 met behind closed doors to stitch up a deal to chose their new president and foreign minister.

In the true spirit of squalid EU 'democracy' and taste of times to come, the two jobs were decided - over a slap-up dinner.

Did any of the 500 million citizens anywhere in Europe get a look in? Did any elected MEP have a say?

Warmongering Blair was out on his ears after failing in his life-long bid to rule a new EU empire. Finally scuppered as some EU leaders refused to buy into all the Blair hype and the shame of his illegal Iraq war. A Merkel-Sarkozy pact put an end to the sham of a charismatic charlatan.

Sensing the game was up, Brown pulled the plug on Blair to plug one of his appointed cronies, Mandy replacement trade commissioner Ashton, for the powerful foreign ministers' job.

Mandy's dreams of landing the foreign 'secretary' job in the EU or government have been dashed. A pantomime dame left with the onerous task of spinning for a fag end government and stage managing a doomed New Labour farce.

Now a political appointee who has never been elected to anything will have the most influential job in the EU bureaucracy. A political counterpoint to Belgian president Rompuy which paves the way for a Sarkozy placeman to run the EU economy and the City.

Ashton's meteoric rise from head of Hertfordshire health authority to EU high representative was a surprise to say the least. "As unelected as she is obscure," observed the Guardian.

But as unelected New Labour leader in the Lords, Ashton helped steer the sham of the Lisbon treaty through parliament without a referendum - the very treaty which created her plumb new job.

Now heading up a vast EU diplomatic service with embassies around the world, Brown's placeman is also responsible for Europe's security and defence policy.

Blair may be gone and Brown soon to follow but their legacy of a new EU superstate lives on.

Democracy has been ripped to shreds, with a bunch of unelected EU commission 'civil servants' masquerading as a government. An EU president and 'high representative' represents the unaccountable bureaucratic EU superstate.

The EU treaty failed to set limits on the size and scope of the EU government. An EU superstate with new powers over defence and foreign policy creates a chilling new Empire. A totalitarian dictatorship for the 21st century.

In was Blair who gave one of his empty promises that when it came to all things EU it was time to "let the people have the final say". But the 'people' were not allowed the luxury of democracy when it came to 'electing' an EU president or foreign 'minister'.

An ever expanding EU superstate is looming on the horizon, way past its original 1975 sell-by date - with laws imposed from Brussels, with over-arching powers over foreign and military policy, with a couple of unelected nobodies running the show for the EU club's ruling elite.

'Boney' Blair Meets His Waterloo

Warmongering Blair has been thrown out on his ears after failing in his life-long bid to rule a new EU empire. The Orange Party can breath a small sigh of relief. Sky's Boulton broke the news: "Blair's hopes are over...Brown has decided that support is declining for the ex-PM...he is not going to table his name at the meeting...to choose the President."

Would the EU really have gone for a president with "a taste for war" and blood on his hands after Iraq? An 'El Presidente' who came under relentless attack from Hague? An EU president who would get up the nose of the new Tory government?

'Boney' Blair and arch-rival Brown had been working the phones and contacts book until the bitter end.

But Blair's cunning plan was finally scuppered as some EU leaders refused to buy into the Blair hype and politics of false hope and discredited optimism.

A Merkel-Sarkozy pact put an end to the sham of a charismatic charlatan. 'Mummy' Merkel had had her fill of 'Mr Flash'.

Sensing the game was up, Brown 'pulled the plug' on Blair to plug one of his quangocrat cronies, Mandy replacement trade commissioner Ashton, for the powerful foreign ministers' job.

The new EU is now up and running to ride rough shod over democracy with an ever expanding superstate.

In the squalid world of power politics, all roads led back to Blair. The Orange Party has long believed scheming Blair had been plotting away to be top EU dog well before he was booted out of Downing Street.

Biding his time, swanning around the world stage. Collecting meaningless titles and lucrative jobs in the elite club of the filthy rich. All carefully stage-managed until his plumb dream job was up for grabs.

Blair's EU ambitions started early, according to Oborne, who asked: Did Blair betray Britain for years in his bid to become EU president? "Within months of his winning the 1997 General Election, his aides were confiding that his long-term aim was the then non-existent post of European President."

Old habits die hard for original Gang of Four. The Orange Party never bought into the hype that Mandy returned to the Brown fold out of love for his old enemy.

Mandy was cheerleader for Blair's EU quest, pulling Brown's strings and propping up the struggling Supreme Leader in return for a Blair favour.

Now Mandy's manipulation to install pal Blair as president of a new EU superstate has ended in failure. Billy-no-mates Brown has outlived his usefulness. Will Mandy drop Liability Brown after his earlier skullduggery to protect brand Blair and prop-up Brown?

Mandy is left with the onerous task of spinning for a fag end government and covering up a decade of disaster and failure. Stage managing a doomed New Labour pantomime while Blair wanders in the wilderness, raking in a fortune without any real power or influence.

Wiping the blood off his hands, Teflon Tony is left with a guest appearance at the Chilcot whitewash into his illegal Iraq war. But New Labour continued to sing to the tune of His Master's Voice, refusing to face up to the shame of their fallen idol who took the country to war on the back of a pack of lies.

Blair may be gone but his legacy of a new EU superstate lives on. A shameful legacy to his years of self-serving power. Democracy has been ripped to shreds, with a bunch of unelected EU commission 'civil servants' masquerading as a government.

The EU Lisbon treaty con fails to set any real limits on the size and scope of the EU government. An EU superstate with new powers over defence and foreign policy creates a chilling new Empire - a totalitarian dictatorship for the 21st century with vast control over the military.

In 2004, Blair gave one of his empty promises that when it came to all things EU it was time to "let the people have the final say". But the 'people' were not allowed the luxury of democracy when it came to 'electing' an EU president.

Blair was in the running until the last minute. His downfall signalled the end of a doomed love affair with brand Blair. The end of the undemocratic swooning by European leaders who'd built their own reputations on the back of Blair's hyped up hope.

Born-again Blair in one of the most powerful posts on the planet would have been a recipe for disaster.

What remains is an ever expanding EU superstate, way past its original 1975 sell-by date, with laws imposed from Brussels, with over-arching powers over foreign and military policy.

Thankfully not presided over by a war criminal, massaging his ego and bank balance.

The UK already has an unelected head of state and two unelected prime ministers. Now a new boss of the EUSSR is set to join them with a New Labour crony by his side. An obsure unelected president and foreign minister of an all powerful faceless facade, calling the shots on sovereign domestic, foreign and military policy.

Update: EU leaders still have the hots for Herman van Rompuy (above). Crazy name, crazy guy!?!

Queen Used As Election Pawn

The Queen is being used as an election pawn in a party political broadcast to parliament. The shameful charade of New Labour's 'Queen's Speech' is set to test the water with a manifesto and "smoke out the Tories". An insult to the public and total waste of time.

'Announcing populist measures to "smoke out" the Tories on policy, Brown has signalled the start of a bitter election campaign,' thunders The Times. Not in a news conference. Not in a party political broadcast. But through the age old tradition of Wednesday's official opening of parliament.

The Queen's Speech has been reduced to a glorified New Labour press release with Pussycat Peter's paw prints all over it.

Reading from a prepared script, it's left to Her Maj to set out her government's 'legislation' for the coming year. But none of the measures will see the light of day. Not least because of looming across the board spending cuts.

Missing from the 'manifesto' will be the budget and pre-budget report, increasingly used to set policy with key announcements.

Using a Queen's Speech in this way is an insult to voters and affront to parliamentary democracy. The Orange Party isn't turning yellow but LibDem leader Clegg has a valid point.

The "glitz and glamour" of the Queen's Speech, he said, would be "based on a complete fiction" because there were only 70 parliament days between now and the last date to dissolve parliament.

That kinda blows out of the water commons cheerleader, Harman's insistence that "the majority of the bills in the forthcoming Queen's Speech would become law before the general election".

Laws take, on average, 240 days to pass through all stages. If Bottling Brown finally gives the public what they want and calls the election before going all the way to the wire, then time is even tighter.

Then strict election broadcasting laws kick in. Parliament grinds to a halt. The commons won't see MPs for dust as they scurry off to begin the election battle proper.

Tough times call for tough measures to tackle jobs and the recession, a decaying social culture and downright distrust of the political system. Instead an election gimmick is being used to sound out the public mood, shore up the struggling Supreme Leader's precarious position and try to wrong-foot the opposition.

Mention parliament to voters and only one thing springs to mind - the disgrace of the MPs' expenses scandal.

Clegg has called for the Queen's Speech to be cancelled and replaced with emergency reforms to "clean up politics".

Parliament could usefully use its time to clean up its act with a fresh start ready for voting day, instead of trying to water down Kelly with an MPs' expenses stitch up.

Using precious time to restore trust, sounds a pretty sensible idea. "The one gift this failed Parliament can give its successor is a fresh start," said Clegg.

Battling Brown has finally fired the election starting gun but it feels like the parties have been limbering up with an increasingly bitter campaign for donkey's years. A weary public is fed up with all the dithering and dilly-dallying.

Using a Queen's Speech as a party political tool ahead of an election isn't new. But this one smacks of party politicking like no other. Voters will see through another shameless New Labour smoke and mirrors sham. Using taxpayers cash to get some free publicity is a cheap stunt.

Using the speech as rearguard action to whip up flagging support from core voters in the vain hope of preventing total wipe-out is a dodgy way to dupe voters.

As Clegg said, it will serve as "little more than a rehearsal of the next Labour manifesto" and "an attempt to road test policy gimmicks".

The floundering ship is sinking fast in an ocean of failure and disaster. Half-baked unfunded policies are now the order of the day in a stagnant Whitehall. It's a sure sign of election time when U-turns come thick and fast.

Voters feel in their bones that it is time for a change. Beleaguered Brown has lost public confidence. Cameron is the PM in waiting. Isn't it about time the fag-end government showed the electorate some respect?

Instead ministers are left with little to do but dish out dollops of Brown sauce to an election battle weary public.
