The Time Has Come

I appreciate that it is very difficult for the Tories to demonstrate their true colours since they are in a coalition and are unable to pursue their stated aims. It is though worrying that one does not have a real idea of what the Tories would do if they were not in a coalition. Would the European Union Act have been stronger for example? Frederick Forsyth in a letter to the Telegraph today expresses concern that as the Act only comes into play if the government, advised by the Foreign Office, so decides, which he is convinced will never happen. In Frederick Forsyth's view the Act was worded in this way because Hague is in thrall to Simon Fraser, the head of the Foreign Office, and has become a passionate europhile as a result. If this is so then the Act would be worded in the same way even if the Tories were governing on their own. This concern is heightened by George Osborne's article in today's Telegraph in which he states that joining the euro would lead to fiscal integration and a resulting loss of sovereignty and it is in our interest that the euro works. This is very worrying as loss of sovereignty without any referendum by each of the eurozone countries is bound to lead to civil unrest at best in some of those countries. Such unrest will be infinitely worse for us than the orderly break up of the euro. The euro is an abomination and we should be calling for it to be dissolved right now.
