Brussels Louts: UK to Transfer Sovereignty?
Great Britain’s new Prime Minister, who, thanks to attempted car bombings nearly had the worst first week on the job since the Titanic, is under fire for “hiding” things from the public. Just little things though, like that Great Britain may well lose its sovereignty:
The new European Union treaty will mean “transfers of sovereignty” from Britain and Gordon Brown is right to hide the fact from the public, an EU leader admitted yesterday.
Proposals in the new European Union treaty to hand more powers to Brussels will be “hidden and disguised”, the architect of the ill-fated EU constitution has admitted.
Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, the former French president, said that the treaty would be “very, very near” to the constitution, axed after voters in France and Holland rejected it in referendums in 2005.
How does one go about “transferring” sovereignty in any way other than how the sovereignty of Gaul was “transferred” to the Roman Empire? Sovereignty is like your hair — you either have it or you don’t, and if it’s being “transferred” it usually means you’re being scalped.
I hope the Brits haven’t thrown out all the old powdered wigs, because they might need ‘em again.

However I’m not sure we can even say that our cousins across the pond are sovereign in the first place. My doubts come from “The Evil Empire: 101 Ways that England ruined the World”.
If what was recorded in that book is true (as opposed to misunderstood or blatantly false) then the subjects of Great Britain are in no way sovereign themselves though their Queen and other royalty are.

The biggest British blunder in its entire history was revealed last year – and quickly glossed over. It came out of Cabinet Papers of 1946, embargoed under the 60 year rule. The French are finally getting what they have wanted for 700 years. The demise of Britainnia. And getting a feminine revenge to boot.
France is like a woman in National Character, and there is no fury like a woman scorned.
The French Prime minister in ‘46, secretly asked Britain if it would ‘take-over’ France. He wanted France to have the English King as Head of State and the whole country belong to the British Commonwealth. France was a basket-case at that time. Completely wrecked by war and riven with Nazis, Vichyites, Communists, Napoleonites, and latterly DeGallists with huge friggin’ noses. It’s treasury was empty, its overseas ‘possessions’ were revolting (Vietnam anyone?) and most of the available pretty woman had shaved heads rather than the shaved pudendas we have today.
Churchill told them to get fucked. (He probably used more erudite and witty language).
What a mistake. Europe would be a wholly different place today if Britain had had the nous to get in there and do a take over. Britain itself would be a wholly different place too and I hazard, a whole lot better than it is now.
As it is, the Mad-moselle was snubbed, and has taken her revenge.
Guess who was France’s main ally for those 700 years?
The friggin’ (Gordon Brown) SCOTs.

When former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev visited Britain in 2000, he accurately described the European Union as “the new European Soviet.” He said this with obvious approval, since he sees the evolving EU as fulfilling his vision of a “common European home” stretching “from the Atlantic to the Urals,” as he described it in his 1987 book Perestroika. Mr. Gorbachev is a lifelong Communist overlord who has steadfastly refused to renounce Communism.
In fact, he defiantly remains a Communist. On December 23, 1989, Gorbachev declared to his fellow Soviets, “I am a communist. For some that may be a fantasy. But for me it is my main goal.” On February 26, 1991, Gorbachev said, “I am not ashamed to say that I am a communist and adhere to the communist idea, and with this I will leave for the other world.” He has repeated these sentiments many times. In his book he also stated: “I frankly admit that we are glad that the idea of a ‘common European home’ finds understanding among prominent political and public figures of not only Eastern, but also Western Europe….”
It is highly significant that a top-level Marxist-Leninist such as Mikhail Gorbachev could find such affinity with Western leaders about a “common European home” and then, 13 years later, approvingly note that that common home was moving ever closer to the Soviet model. After all, hadn’t the Soviet model collapsed and died? But Mr. Gorbachev was, at least in this instance, telling the truth; the EU has been, and is now, moving steadily toward Soviet-style tyranny
