Clarke fervently believes Britain
should be run by foreigners. He is in favour of our laws being made in Brussels
by people we didn’t elect.
He is quite happy to surrender what
remains of our national sovereignty and open our borders to all-comers, even if
that means a housing crisis, public services at breaking point and itinerant
Romanian beggars using Hyde Park Corner as a public toilet.Ken thinks our courts should be subordinate to foreign judges, many of them from countries which until fairly recently were totalitarian Communist dictatorships.
If he’d had his way a few years ago Britain would now be chained to the euro and our dire economic predicament would be ten times worse than it is already.
So passionate is he about a European superstate that he couldn’t even be bothered to read the Maastricht Treaty before it was signed into British law.
You might think that neglecting to inspect the small print was a bit of a shortcoming in someone who trained as a lawyer and went on to become Lord Chancellor.
But Ken’s not the kind of person to let the small print get in the way of a Big Idea. He even thinks turning Britain into a safe haven for international terrorists is a price worth paying for his principles.
