Euro-Creep

Euro-Creep is underway as the EU takes over Britain -

EU control over the insurance market
 - EU environmental taxes 
- Usurping the United Kingdom’s positions in tax negotiations 
- Tighter EU controls over HM Revenue & Customs - Charter of Fundamental Rights enforced by stealth
 - EU control over electronic communications
 - More EU takeovers of education 
- More EU control over sport
 - New controls over transport. . .

The Bruges Group has all the details.


Speaking of Defoe, whom Cat wrote about yesterday, these lines from his “True-born Englishman” suggest the attitude we need -

The meanest English ploughman studies law,

And keeps thereby the magistrates in awe;

Will boldly tell them what they ought to do,

And sometimes punish their omissions too.

Their liberty and property's so dear,

They scorn their laws or governors to fear. . .
