Promising The Impossible.
The recent Open Europe/ComRes poll indicates that if there
were a significant return of powers from the EU to Westminster followed by a
referendum, 47% of UK voters would want to stay in the EU, against 32% who would
still want to leave.
THE SCAM IS WORKING EXACTLY AS PREDICTED. IT IS FOLLOWING IDENTICAL LINES TO THE REFERENDUM OF 1975.
Voters are being persuaded that genuine changes are feasible when window dressing is the maximum that can be achieved. All that is seemingly needed is to pretend that major concessions have been made and the people will fall for it.
Those of us who have studied the Evil Empire in depth recognise that any genuine repatriation of powers is not possible.

Hague's 'Red Card.'
William Hague’s has called for a ‘red card’ to allow national parliaments to block
unwanted EU proposals.
Successive Labour and Tory governments stripped us of this by yielding up almost every veto we had when we first joined the original Common Market.

Clegg Promises 'Crackdown' On Parliamentary Sleaze.
Readers of this Blog well know my view that the word 'crackdown' is the political claim least likely to produce any positive result - ever!
Turkey & The EU.

Christianity Expunged?
By Eric Metaxas, Christian Post Contributor
Ten years ago, the preamble to the newly-drafted constitution of the European Union omitted any reference to Christianity. It was an unmistakable reminder of Christianity's diminished influence in a part of the world it helped create.
How Christianity gave way to secularism is difficult to explain, but an important new book, "How the West Really Lost God" by Mary Eberstadt, offers an explanation that Christians need to hear.That the West has become increasingly secular is difficult to deny. In his magisterial 2010 book, "A Secular Age," the Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor asks why, in Western society, it was "virtually impossible not to believe in God in say, [the year] 1500 . . . while in 2000 many of us find this not only easy, but even inescapable?"

Agnosticism Is Illogical - Not Just Atheism.
This Blog has shown in countless ways the illogical nature of the atheistic position.
Until seeing this however, I had not considered how weak the case is to be agnostic as an intellectual choice:
"To say that we cannot know anything about God is to say something about God; it is to say that if there is a God, he is unknowable. But in that case, he is not entirely unknowable, for the agnostic certainly thinks that we can know one thing about him: That nothing else can be known about him. In the end, agnosticism is an illogical position to hold to."— J. Budziszewski(I am very aware of course, that many who are agnostic are thus out of intellectual laziness and self-absorbed attitudes and to these the above can hardly apply.)
UKIP Damages The Far Right.
With Ukip settling nicely into that
centre/centre right slot vacated by the tories - there is one more advantage
which can easily be overlooked.
The temptation for concerned, and oft times desperate, individuals to vote for the far right will reduce if people can see a genuine democratic, alternative.
Don't believe me? - Precisely how many seats in the Council elections were taken by the BNP? - That's right - ZERO!

Thatcher On Socialism.
Socialists cry "Power to the people", and raise
the clenched fist as they say it.
We all know what they really mean — power over people, power to the State.
Margaret Thatcher, in a speech to Conservative Central Council (15 March, 1986)

Truth.
We occasionally stumble over the truth but most of us pick ourselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. Anon.
