Scaremongering Is Building A Head Of Steam.

A new report warns that UK agriculture would collapse outside the EU, but it is based on the silly assumption that any post-Brexit government would just let this happen!

Nigel Farage: EU exit will boost British trade.

The Ukip leader insisted that the UK would be “better off” cutting links with Brussels and winning the freedom to agree new trading deals. 

He spoke out after warnings from David Cameron and others about the economic risks of a British exit. 

George Osborne later told of further economic fears before he visits Berlin today. 

Mr Farage told the Andrew Marr Show on BBC One that EU supporters were “scaremongering”.  Britain was the biggest trading market for the eurozone, he said. 

“We are a country of 65 million people,” he said. 

“If Norway, Iceland and Switzerland can get deals that suit them, we can do something far better than that.” 

The Prime Minister last week attacked Eurosceptic claims that Britain could copy the Norwegians by remaining outside the EU while retaining trade links with the bloc. “We’re the fifth or sixth biggest economy in the world,” he said. 

If Norway, Iceland and Switzerland can get deals that suit them, we can do something far better than that

“And we’re banned from making our own trade deals. I want us to have a free trade agreement with the European Union.” 

Mr Farage also mocked Michael Froman, the US trade envoy who last week claimed that America would not want a deal with Britain outside the EU. 

He said: “He’s been paid to say that, hasn’t he?” Mr Osborne risked stoking the row last night by insisting: “We need a strong EU.” 

The Chancellor said: “The UK and German economies are the beating heart of Europe. Together we make the world’s third largest economy.”

Do NOT Throw Away Good Food Just Because of Sell/Use By Dates.

‘If a food has passed its sell by, display until or best before date, open the packaging and examine it and smell it,’ says Felice Tocchini.

‘If it looks and smells OK - and then tastes OK - it’s almost certainly safe to eat, whatever the date says on the packaging.’

Jonathan Tells Us Just How Depressing It All Is In Strasbourg.

Welcome the latest edition of your MEP newsletter, bringing you updates from the European Parliament and beyond.

The European Parliament is a depressing place. It's not so much the buildings themselves, or this week the city of Strasbourg, which is lovely.  But it is the feeling of inevitability. The European Union has a core principle of 'ever closer union'. Once power has been given from a nation state to the European Union, that power is never returned. And so we vote, hundreds of times each Strasbourg week, on reports, regulations, directives and amendments to them. This week I'm pretty sure the whole number topped a thousand; we voted over 600 times on Wednesday alone. The picture shows all of the pages of our voting lists for three days in Strasbourg. Each page will have a number of votes, and we go through them voting line by line.  We had resubmitted all of our amendments to the EU budget; they were once again voted down just like they had been in Committee before. We watched, helpless, voting against every proposed increase to the budget - and by the time Wednesday was over, the Parliament had requested another €4 billion of taxpayers' money for next year. Almost all of the budget increases were supported by Labour.
To be able to remember all of the votes would require a phenomenal feat of memory. I find the whole thing somewhat disturbing: if we're voting so many times, how can each decision receive the proper scrutiny that it deserves? The answer is that it can't. One debate covers many votes, and it's impossible to give more than the most cursory of overviews in a 1 or 2 minute speech.
Amidst this chaos, there was an allegation against Marine Le Pen (Front National, France).  Apparently one of her colleagues was voting on her behalf whilst she was out of the room.  I can only summarise the chaos in the chamber.  The MEP who called for an investigation stood up the next day to announce its results, another MEP walked across the chamber to raise a mobile phone to take a picture of Marine Le Pen. The leader of one of the political groups, who will be amongst those to decide what further action should be taken, launched into a tirade. I believe that everyone - even Marine Le Pen - deserves a right to a 'fair trial'.  Whoever did wrong should face the appropriate consequences.  As a democrat I'm appalled at the idea that this kind of 'ghost voting' was going on. I'm also appalled at the European Parliament's utter disregard for due process.
A vote took place - which I assume will be the final vote - on mobile phone roaming charges. Amazingly the media seem to have allowed the pro-EU line that abolishing these will 'save us money when we go abroad' to go unchallenged. It's self-evident nonsense, and my Journal article this week dissects that argument carefully. If you only look at one thing from this newsletter, please make sure it's this. Also, If you're wondering why I've only asked 5 Parliamentary questions in October, that's because we now have a monthly limit.  We're not allowed to ask more than 5 questions a month.  I tried to make up for it with speeches!

Heffer Makes Mincemeat Of Cameron Over EU Referendum.

The Excellent Floella Speaks Total Sense. (BUT Would a White Person Have Been Permitted To Comment?)

Migrant pupils should ditch their accent and learn to speak received pronunciation, says trailblazing black TV presenter Floella Benjamin.

Bacon - The Good News!

The good news is that the bacon-cigarette comparison is, simply (and to use a precise scientific term) cobblers.

In fact, this is perhaps the most egregious example to date of well-meaning health advice relating to diet in particular that is almost designed to be misinterpreted and generate unnecessary panic. 

What has happened is that the WHO has moved 'processed meat' into its Class 1 category of 'known carcinogens', joining horrors such as tobacco smoke, diesel fumes, asbestos, plutonium and arsenic (non-processed red meat falls into Class 2).

The good news is that the bacon-cigarette comparison is, simply (and to use a precise scientific term) cobblers.

Michael Hanlon 

It would be quite reasonable to infer from this that a plate of salami or, indeed, a bacon sandwich is as dangerous as a lump of deadly plutonium – or even a Volkswagen exhaust pipe. 

Large numbers were bandied around. Thirty-four-thousand cancer deaths worldwide a year. An increase in risks of bowel cancer by about a sixth (scary stuff). Eat just two ounces of cured pork a day and you are heading for an early grave. 

Except, you are not. What the report's authors failed to stress was the difference between RELATIVE and ABSOLUTE risks. If you want to flam up a health scare, Rule One is always, always concentrate on the former at the expense of the latter.

Apostasy - This Is What It Looks Like.

A CHURCH is set to remove Christian crosses, altars and pulpits before refugees move in.

The Protestant church in Oberhausen, Germany offered to make the group of 50 feel more welcome.

Pastor Joachim Deterding said: "Before the refugees can move in, the seats have to be taken away. Also the altar, the pulpit and font are movable."

Earlier this month the Bishop of Stockholm told a church in her diocese to remove all signs of the cross to make the building “more inviting” for Muslim worshippers.

She also said the direction of Mecca should be marked and called Muslim refugees "angels".

Eva Brunne added: "It is important that there are places for praying sisters and brothers and we show hospitality and tolerance, regardless of faith. 

"Good people of different beliefs must be able to meet and help each other." Express.

Ed: This is what happens when you start preaching 'a social gospel' rather than the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

For Those Who Mourn.

Reg Keys Despises Blair For Responsibility In Son's Death.

Yes, I'll remember my fallen son next Sunday. But for the man who sent him to his death, I feel only COLD FURY, writes Reg Keys

By REG KEYS FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY.

+4

My 20-year-old son, Lance Corporal Tom Keys (pictured), was murdered in Iraq on June 24, 2003, the month after the war had supposedly ended

People sometimes ask what Remembrance Sunday means to me, how it makes me feel. My answer is simple: I feel cold fury. The same as I feel every other day. The same as I felt when I heard last week that the Chilcot Report will now be delayed until next summer.

The same as when I discovered in The Mail on Sunday that Tony Blair had committed us to war in Iraq months before a democratic vote and a full year before the invasion started.

And the same as I feel now, having learned from today’s edition that his Ministers were actually told to burn the documentary evidence – from their own Attorney General – that waging war on Saddam was never legal in the first place.

My 20-year-old son, Lance Corporal Tom Keys, was murdered in Iraq on June 24, 2003, the month after the war had supposedly ended. He was one of six Royal Military policemen shot by a 400-strong Iraqi mob besieging a police station in the south of the country.

Tom was actually on peace-keeping duties. He had been due home in two weeks.

Violent death is an occupational hazard for members of the Armed Forces. They all know it, they all accept it.

Soldiers get killed in battle and the loved ones they leave behind grieve for them. The bereaved may feel anger but the knowledge that their relative died in a just war does, eventually, help quell that anger.

I wasn’t angry when the men in grey suits came to tell my wife Sally and me that Tom had been killed in the line of duty. I was devastated, of course, but at that time I still believed that Tom had died for the greater good. I believed that Weapons of Mass Destruction would be found in Iraq. I believed that my lad would have been adequately equipped to be in harm’s way.

It wasn’t until afterwards, when we learned that the WMD did not exist, when we learned that Tom’s patrol had been only lightly armed and lacked essential communications equipment, when it became obvious that he and 178 other British armed personnel were sent to die for lies, that the anger – the fury – came. And since then I’ve campaigned for the full truth about the Iraq War to come out.

Mr Blair, who took us to war, hoodwinked the country, Parliament, you and me. He has never seen fit to apologise.

Free Speech - Just For The Left?

Susan Stamper Brown , CP Guest Contributor

In the biography, "Churchill: A Life," author Martin Gilbert writes how Winston Churchill loudly voiced his grave concerns about the apathy shared by those seemingly impervious to the malevolent National Socialist Movement's intention to steam through Europe like volcanic lava, destroying everything in its way, including free speech.

In direct response, Hitler began warning Germans about the "dangers of free speech" and said, "If Mr. Churchill had less to do with traitors … he would see how mad his talk is …"

History revealed whose talk was really mad.

Truth is, Churchill's words touched a nerve the annoying way truth always does. Hitler was incapable of engaging in intelligent debate, so he changed the subject, lied, and attacked Churchill's character. Hitler knew his movement couldn't stand on its own for what it really was, so the only alternative was to silence opposing views.

Throughout Germany books were banned and ceremoniously cast into blazing bonfires intended to squash divergence of thought and stifle man's God-instilled unquenchable thirst for truth.

Historical accountings provide a glimpse into the warped psyche of those behind a movement that wrongheadedly believed they could build something worthwhile by shutting down debate, then dividing a nation by race and ethnicity. They coldly chose their target, the Jewish race, and purged some of the greatest minds in history from all levels of teaching. Schools and universities suffered.

Before the movement decided to burn bodies as well as books, Historyplace.com cites that "Jewish instructors and anyone deemed politically suspect regardless of their proven teaching abilities or achievements including 20 past (and future) Nobel Prize winners" were removed from their professions, among them Albert Einstein.

I would've been one of those "purged professionals," based on what I've heard lately from some disgruntled left-leaning readers. Because of my personal opinion about the president, one reader called me "a racist," a "religious bigot," and "a political terrorist." While calling me a "political terrorist" is noteworthy at least, most telling is this poor man's statement that my column, as offensive as it was to him, "was permitted" in his newspaper.

Apparently, free speech is just for leftists.

Another comment made by one of those bloggers so "courageous" he remains anonymous, most likely typing from his command post in his parent's basement wearing nothing but yellowing tightey-whities and yesterday's breakfast crumbs embedded on his unshaved chin and sprawling belly:

"… although she is entitled to her opinion … she could be a candidate for the FBI's terror watch list ..."

Suggesting that a newspaper columnist's personal opinion is FBI watch list-worthy is ridiculous and simultaneously chilling. There seems to be a growing distaste for the First Amendment by those on the left.

Another newspaper ran a very long editorial on why they were dropping my column after running it the day prior. While it's fair they questioned one of my references, please note the arrogance as you read this excerpt:

"Imagine how informed and intelligent you think the average person is. Now realize that half of the world is less informed and less intelligent. Now give those same people unchecked ability to spout their uniformed and unintelligent opinions …"

My favorite email this week came from a nice guy who asked me if I could see Sarah Palin from my house and if I could spell "psychotic rant." He even offered some good advice: "Enjoy the winter. Eat a moose and listen to the Word of God speaking to you through your fillings." He signed it, "Your Mentally Disordered, manure-heaping, progressive pal …"

I enjoyed his humor and that he didn't suggest I be silenced like some who've obviously not learned anything from the not-so-distant past.
