A REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE.

The United Kingdom has just witnessed the incredible result of what is referred to as a one man band 'The United Kingdom Independence Party', which triumphed in the British Euro Elections by a considerable margin. We acknowledge that this comes more easily under the voting system for this poll, but it is the same for all parties, even the Liberal Democrats who favour proportional representation.

UKIP leader, Nigel Farage, is one of those politicians who is what you see is what you get. No snake oil con- artist, unlike the main party leaders who, no doubt, covet a 'gravy train' appointment in their prolonged political career. 'Thoroughly Modern' Miliband has an additional quest, adding to the already Marxist policies of Brussels. His retarded notions being guided by the Trade Union Congress of Great Britain, on whom his party relies for funding. For Farage, no such future ambition; his policies are strictly with the taxpayer GB, by pointing out at every opportunity the waste that occurs within the European Union. How the traditional parties abhor this basic honesty.

There is a downside to this swing to the more nationalistic political groups across the continent, which Farage warned about. This being fomented by the Brussels federalist juggernaut, without any recourse to the electorate; we in the UK have only voted on the EU once, which was just for a common market.

Hopefully the wheels won't come off the UKIP surge, as we need some representation in Westminster. A little stirring from Farage himself, similar to his comments in the Euro Parliament. This is imperative, ongoing  embarrassment of the establishment by painting them into a corner could be the breakthrough needed to force these 'free loaders' to capitulate to the wishes of the people.

THEY WILL NATURALLY STICK WITH THE STATUS QUO FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

POSH FROCK WITH BEARD WINS EUROVISION SONG CONTEST.

There is little more proof needed regarding the decline of the Western World than the farcical situation of a 'cross dressing' winner of, what I'm sure is seen by intelligent folk as a most wasteful TV production, the Eurovision Song Contest. 

I have no idea how such results come about, but can guess that being high on either alcohol or drugs could well play a part. The author is sure that it dovetails readily with same sex marriage, which is all part of a concerted effort by so many trendy political parties that such activities could be made compulsory. Even the popular BBC programme 'Strictly Come Dancing', to the uninitiated, a competition for ballroom dancing, a pastime enjoyed generally by a male/female pairing, has now, thanks to the overly diverse broadcaster, decided to compere the show with two women. The slow creep into decadence is all around us.

My original concern, however, is that the media has too much influence over the younger generation, who can't wait to be sucked in by trendy new influences, lacking the ability to think for themselves; mainly concerning sexual diversity and what they call recreational drugs. Wow! are they stacking up future health problems; and no doubt anticipate that others should fund their eventual cure.

The author also has a vested interest in music, having for many years hosted an online radio programme which plays what we call 'proper songs'. Songs that tell a story, generally in 32 bars, with a tune that haunts the reverie. Jerome Kern developed this form of song over a century ago, which is referred to as 'the standard'. Unfortunately, it lost out to the commercialism of rock and roll during the fifties and sixties. However, my programme, which can be heard via www.103theeye.co.uk at 10.00pm UK time every Wednesday, enjoys encouragement from different parts of the world.

MEANWHILE PUTIN CONTINUES TO PLAY WITH US.

WAS IT PRESIDENT HOLLANDE,OR AUTO CAT?

First of all, let the author explain that we have a change of plan, we are writing here about heterosexuality, something that generally has been overlooked in recent times by politicians, due to the mad charge for what seems to be the option.

Some decades ago, watching cartoons on the TV with my young children, and not denying my enjoyment, so many of the characters have now been replaced by current politicians. They are invariably socialist nonentities, it's better than working for a living; we are overloaded with them in Britain, but France has the star of the show, President Hollande.

He, Hollande, is up to the eyeballs in economic woe, but has been finding time for, what we in the UK call, 'a little bit on the side'. This, naturally, has upset 'her indoors', his previous 'LBOTS'. One brave French magazine stuck its neck over the barricades, and photographed the inept President leaving the scene. He had been transported to these trysts on the back of a moped, presumably by a security guard. He did, nevertheless, resemble the cartoon character, Auto Cat.

Let us rewind 18 months, when this lame left winger came to power. Hollande was elevated from the subs bench, which occurred when former front runner Dominique Strauss-Khan was caught with his trousers down, and subsequently found to have considerable form in this area. One would think that all this regular sexuality has some pluses, but France beat the UK into passing a law on same sex marriage.

ANYTHING RATHER THAN PROPER POLITICS.

A EUROPEAN UPDATE.

Little changes. Brussels keeps warning the UK that it must treat all new European arrivals the same as its own taxpaying citizens, and although the Government will 'huff and puff' with rhetoric that would suggest a kind of opposition, it will continue to throw taxpayer GB's hard-earned money at the problem.

We had a little euphoria in one news broadcast this week, that Ireland is on the mend economically. Pigs have also been seen flying over Dublin. Nevertheless, any kind of improvement must be welcome.

The big story, however, is that internationally renowned economist, Sir Christopher Pissarides of the London School of Economics (LSE), which is an emporium of left wing ideology, has had one of those conversions, rarely admitted by such an high flying establishment figure and Nobel Prize winner. Formerly, his stance on Europe was to back the Euro currency, but he has now 'seen the light', realising that unemployment is totally out of control, particularly amongst the young. His revised recommendation is to dismantle the currency before it does more lasting damage. I'm sure that we can say that this is worthwhile news. So why didn't the BBC report these findings? Answers on a post card etc., .....


IN THE MEANTIME, HAS ANYBODY SEEN ANGELA MERKEL?

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.

The place: San Domenico Palace Hotel, Sicily; subject: a new European order. Ten years following the cessation of WWII, 1955, six continental European nations met at this former Dominican monastery, as a group of the six nations European Steel and Coal Community, they were: Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. Their intention being to create a trading block which would prevent differences that had hitherto led to war; two major conflicts having already taken place in the 20th. century, which brought the continent of Europe to its knees. What transpired was the signing of the Messina Declaration on the 3rd. of June that year.

Britain was conspicuous by its absence. Most of the politicians, across the spectrum, were not interested. For example, Tony Benn on the left and Enoch Powell from the right, were always opposed to what would eventually be the consequences of such a union. I'm sure that Benn responded to a question on why he agreed with the Powell position was because they were on the same side during WWII. Subsequently, unsurprisingly, following much lobbying by conservative leader, Ted Heath, we were granted entry; which was confirmed by referendum under the premiership of Harold Wilson (Labour) in the mid seventies.

We can now 'fast forward' to late 2013. Enter the British Tory MEP, Daniel Hannan. Hannan is one of those rare birds who reads the small print. Multi-lingual, with a wonderful intellect, and is the secretary-general of the Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists (AECR). This group convened at the same venue as the 1955 meeting referred to above. This time, however, it was to roll back the burgeoning effect that is stifling Europe as an economic power with any influence in the world. The AECR is proposing to return to what was drawn up originally, albeit with a secret agenda; purely as a trading group, abolishing all trading tariffs, a common market, simple.

The cross section of nations represented proved to be quite surprising. Luxembourg, for example, was complaining about the bullying it receives from both Germany and France. Poland, Bulgaria and Romania were also annoyed at losing the very people required to improve their own economies. The most surprising of all, however, was the argument put forward by Italian, Professor Antonio Martino, a former Italian Government Minister; whose understanding of the situation, and the current chaotic system, the centralisation inflicted on member states by Brussels, is not working, or ever will. Interestingly, the Professor's father was the host of the 1955 meeting.

Whether or not one is interested in this openly opposing view of the regime in Brussels, it is news, and should be reported as such. Such a notion, nevertheless, would not cross the minds of the BBC news desk, which operates the PRAVDA principle, 'only if we approve'.

BATTLE LINES ARE DRAWN.

DO I WORRY? BECAUSE SOMEBODY SHOULD.

According to the financial press, the European Union loans to Mediterranean countries has soared to over a trillion euros. We can safely say that we are in 'toxic' territory. Apart from Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy, we need to add Ireland. None of these nations has a cat in hell's chance of repaying their debts; so what happens to this 'black hole'?

It is reported that Britain is holding a high proportion of the debt. Perhaps it is time that taxpayer GB is informed of the collateral, by way of water tight guarantees, which will ensure repayment over a given period of time. Otherwise, how can the nations underwriting these debts possibly make any plans for the future.

The outcome will naturally be much different, as the loans in many cases are probably only promises. This doesn't appear to stop the ongoing process of even more borrowing, with little or no hope of repayment, ever.


SUCH 'BLACK HOLES' TEND NOT TO GO AWAY.

SOMEONE'S ROCKING MY DREAMBOAT, SOMEONE'S BEEN TAPPING MY PHONE.

As Europe, and Germany in particular, react in a kind of 'stamping foot' protest at the very thought of international security services checking on each others phone calls, the question is; is this a new phenomenon?

The twenty first century, one suspects, will change the world dramatically. No matter how distasteful these hacking activities seem, they are probably here to stay. To the experts it is an every day occurrence, I'm sure. The nightmare scenario is that systems are updated rapidly, both in security and hacking, in an endeavour to cancel the other out; making us much too clever for our own good. The author hopes, that in posting these blogs, more people will read them. Overall, the most hits come from the USA, they could well be the same people all the time, possibly the CIA. However, occasionally, a spike will show in Indonesia for no apparent reason. The difference here, of course, between politicians' phones and this blog, is that a greater world coverage is the aim of the latter.

On the other hand, the furore could be a political stunt to mislead others, drawing them in to lower their guard. Angela Merkel could, or even may be, only discussing false information; who knows!

MEANWHILE, I'LL STICK WITH MOSSAD.
