Referendum on Leaving The EU to Go Ahead

Hi,

Referendums on Leaving The EU to Go Ahead

I presume John Blackwell is financially behind the concept of holding Referendums independently.

This idea put forward by Nikki Sinclaire MEP West Midlands, who obtained the signatures needed to obtain a debate on A Referendum in The House of Commons that did so well.

Having raised the profile with her Petition for a debate on A Referendum the result was the largest vote against the Government, in fact in The HoC, ever on the issue of their betrayal of these United Kingdoms and self serving surrender of our Independence, Sovereignty and rule by a foreign and alien power EVER.

The plan always recognised the defence of the realm via legal means would be a long and hard battle - the next step is under way with the Government 'e'Petition at:
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20911

The petition is not expected to do well without publicity but that will continue apace in the early spring, I understand. Funding will I gather be primarily by Nikki Sinclaire and it is hoped that Trevor Coleman MEP and Mike Nattrass MEP who have removed themselves from the vile extremist EFD Group in the EU with whom some of the less ethical UKIP MEPs are associated.

Let us hope Mike Nattrass & Trevor Coleman will act honourably and support the financing for the advertising vehicles, magazines and staffing around the UK for this petition to yet again reach the 100,000 goal by the end of the summer recess or before.

The magazine for the:
HAVE YOUR SAY CAMPAIGN
has gone out to 80 > 100,000 people in the last week or so - I gather Nikki Sinclaire has funded it, together with its postal distribution, and Trevor Coleman & Mikle Nattrass have promised to reimburse her - though I understand that Trevor Coleman is also seeking to repeat an earlier failure with the production of a DVD, which you may remember he did in the past with his chum Ashley Mote but DVDs are very much yesterday's idea and have little impact!

The idea of holding A Referendum privately in various constituencies was always part of the plan but I gather John Blackwell has opted to take up the idea early and has John Gaunt fronting it for him.

I believe Sinclaire's plan was more politically astute and professional but let us hope John Gaunt can pull it off and I'm sure Sinclaire's petition will help them.

I expect the sock puppets and ner do wells of EUkip leadership claque will be out in force poo pooing the idea - never having had one of their own beyond self enrichment and self aggrandisement it would seem, to judge by their lack luster track record of corruption, abuse, whoring, theft, betrayal, drunkenness, squabbling, racism and fraud!

I gather John Gaunt has announced the aim that the initial privately funded Referendums will be in the constituencies of:
David Cameron
Nick
Clegg
& Milliband
I am sure that any help you can give will be welcome and any effort to raise the profile in these United Kingdoms is infinitely more valuable than all the posturing in the world in The EU pretend parliament with its sound bite stances and childish rants, which all amount to utter irrelevance, due to the total absence of meaningful democracy in The EU's core structure.

16-Feb-2011 - Jon GAUNT - TAXI GLOBE - EU Referendum Pledge.


JON GAUNT TALKS TO TAXI GLOBE
In a recent interview with Taxi Globe, Jon Gaunt
told our reporter why he has become Official
Spokesman for the EU Referendum Campaign. Now
he has written the following article.

A GOOD LITMUS TEST
One of the greatest pleasures of using a black cab
is the way I always get straight into a discussion or
even argument with the Cabbie about the state of the UK. In fact when I was
presenting my show on BBC London and Talksport, my taxi journeys often
just felt like extensions of my phone in programmes.

I’ll also admit that I
found the London Cabbie not only a good litmus test of my ideas but also
a ready supplier of subjects that I could, and should, discuss on my radio
shows. It’s always been clear to me that Cabbies are much more in touch
with the thoughts and experiences of real people than the politicians of all
parties will ever be.

That’s why I am writing this article as I need Cabbies views on the
one subject that illustrates more than any other just how out of touch our
politicians are with the people. That subject of course is whether we should
stay in the EU or not!

EU REFERENDUM CAMPAIGN
A recent ComRes Poll for the EU Referendum Campaign showed that 75
percent of the British public want a referendum on the EU but still our out
of touch political masters, of all parties, refuse to give us a straightforward
in or out vote.

Blair, Brown and Cameron are the political equivalent of the three
monkeys who can see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil when it comes
to the EU. But the British people are not deaf, dumb or blind. They can see
what is happening as the Euro crashes and burns. They don’t want to suffer
from the most draconian cuts in history whilst we bail out pig economies
like Ireland. They don’t want to lose their jobs and homes whilst foreign
aid is not only ringed fenced but increased. And they don’t want students
rioting and cuts in welfare of 7 Billion pounds whilst we promise exactly
the same amount of our cash to Ireland.

You have to ask the question just what is the real agenda of the political
elite? Why won’t they give the people of the UK the right to vote on whether
we stay in the EU or not?
Just what are they afraid of?

WHY I BECAME OFFICIAL SPOKESPERSON FOR
THE CAMPAIGN
These are the reasons why I, and tens of thousands like me, have joined the
EU Referendum Campaign and why I became the official spokesman.
At this point let me stress the EU Referendum Campaign is not about
persuading people to vote one way or the other, and indeed if it was I
wouldn’t be involved. As you know if you use to listen to me I do not
believe it is the job of a columnist or a big mouth on the radio to tell people
how to vote. But it is my right and our campaign’s right to clearly demand a
referendum, a simple “in or out” vote on our continued membership of this
super state. As the Clash (almost) used to sing, “Should we stay or should
we go?”

In just four months we have built up the largest database of supporters of
any Euro sceptic group and rather than play to the Westminster village and
their cronies we are taking the battle to and with the people. We have been
joined by loads of grassroots groups who are fed up with the EU interfering
with their lifestyles and business whether they are bikers, alternative health
practitioners or Hedge Fund managers. And dare I say it even Cabbies who
must be sick to death with EU red tape strangling your trade and indeed the
crippling costs of the new Air Quality Strategy, which will write off any cab
over fifteen years old.

We are not affiliated to any political party and we reject the outdated idea
of left and right. However we have written to every single MP to find out if
they would support a referendum and we intend to name and shame them
if they don’t.

The professional politicians have failed the British public and it is time
for the people to seize the initiative and demand a referendum on our great
country’s future.

GETTING THE MESSAGE OUT THERE
The answer will not and can’t come from the political elite in Westminster
or Brussels but from the people. That’s where we need you the London
Cabbies help. We need you to get the message out there that The EU affects
each and every one of us and whether your passenger is a supporter of the
EU or not they should demand the right to have a vote on our continued
membership of this organisation.

So if you agree with me please sign our pledge on the coupon on
this page and demand a vote on our country’s future or sign online at

15-Feb-2011 - Jon GAUNT Gets Blogging on The EU!

Britain Held Prisoner by ECHR

By Jon Gaunt , on Yesterday at 14:00

Our new blogger Jon Gaunt on votes in prison.

Hold the front page! Get out your diaries! At long last the self-serving pigs of Westminster are listening to the voters. Only 7 percent of us wanted prisoners to be given the vote and for once the Political elite sided with us the people! So is this, as The Specials sang, the Dawning of a new Era?

Sadly I don’t think so. The vote on prisoners was a no brainer mainly because every politician knew that it would take years for the European Court of Human Rights to actually fine us for not complying with their diktat. So in reality it was a pyrrhic victory at best and at worse just another example of the Political Elite playing to the Gallery or more accurately the Tabloid press pack!

In the end Cameron knows and they know that the UK will once again cough up and bow down to Brussels and Strasbourg.

Unless of course Cameron 'grows a pair' and decides to abandon this chaotic coalition and actually decides to give the British people as a whole, prisoners and all if he likes, the only real vote we need, which is whether of not to stay in the EU.

A few months ago when I joined the EU referendum campaign this seemed like a long-term project. A dream or a fantasy. However with the pig economies of Ireland, Greece, Portugal and perhaps even Spain going down quicker than a girl at the infamous Cynthia Parties, perhaps, just perhaps, the UK may restore its sovereignty sooner than expected.

There’s even talk in the corridors of power of Cameron making this an election manifesto pledge (yes I know they’re worth as much as the Zimbabwe Dollar but it’s a start!). One things for sure there is a new breed of Euro-sceptic within the Tory ranks and the British public in poll after poll are overwhelmingly calling for a referendum, the last one for ConmRes had the figure at 75 percent.

The EU and the ECHR are not directly linked of course but there is no way that Cameron can ever create our own UK bill of rights whilst we are a member of the EU. It is forbidden or should I say Verboten!

Cleary we don’t want to be isolationist or little Englanders and of course we want to trade with the rest of Europe but there is no way we want our economy, our taxation system, banking regulation, immigration control and courts controlled by faceless often unelected and poorly trained judges, M EP’s or European Commissioners.

I don’t know about you but I want to be ruled by British Politicians who we elect and more importantly who we can sack and the sooner Cameron allows us the British people a real say on our sovereignty the better, not only for his career but for this great nation as well.

05-Jan-2011 UKIP Leader Nigel FARAGE Denounces Referendum as a concept

05-Jan-2011 UKIP Leader Nigel FARAGE Denounces Referendum as a concept

UKIP: The Letter that Nigel Farage didn't want you to see

Click on the letter for a closer look

It is interesting to note that the UKIP party website includes a call to support a campaign for a referendum on EU membership. Farage has also been quick to jump on the bandwagon, especially if he can use the issue to get his face into the press.

But the truth of UKIP's position is slightly different. In private, Farage's office is less than optimistic about the chances of success as a result of any referendum, as this letter, which has been widely distributed to the press, proves.

"Petitions, I may say, are useful for publicising issues and recruiting activists; but, where such a a fundamental policy as rejecting the EU is concerned, there is no prospect whatever of a pro-EU government's accceding to a petition." So there we have it - UKIP does not really believe in its own policies, apparently.

"No prospect whatever" of a referendum achieving anything, according to the office of Nigel Farage MEP. This is another example of the supreme hypocrisy of the UKIP leadership, and one which may prove to be the Fuhrer's downfall.

Could this be why Dan Hannan is seemingly acting as The Judas Goat to Douglas Carswell's Rose Goat? Do they share Farage's view that holding Referenda on The EU is great for publicising oneself and attracting active supporters - one can only assume the three of them wish they had been trusted to participate in The Express campaign which has already attracted 373,000 who say NO to EU Membership, activists and has clearly publicised the issue.

I expect they are a little miffed that despite the attempt they were unable to take over and emasculate The EU Referendum Campaign fronted by Jon Gaunt, James Pryor and Bridget Rowe, nor The Tory Better Off Out Group - was their collective aim to act as The Judas Goat and lead the Campaign to the slaughter for paymasters who fund them well within The EU?

Might it be that they have watched Nikki Sinclaire move forward with her Petition for an In/Out EU Referendum - not only raising the profile of the issue but clearly leaving them floundering as she obtains cross party support and respect as one of the two remaining UKIP MEPs with integrity seeking to Leave-The-EU with some clarity and a refusal to collude with the racist, anti Jewish and violent sexually intollerant claque Nigel Farage befouls British Politics by leading The Pan EU EFD Political Group

(The wisdom of allowing such a poorly written letter to go out over Steve Reed's signature on Farage's behalf  to a constituent must also surely be called into question. May we commend the constituent for their promptly

AN INTERESTING ADDITION WAS SENT TO ME:

Extract from UKIP newsletter 'Independence', published August 2005.

quote
Let the People Decide
Nigel Farage MEP


There is a growing appetite from the public for a referendum on whether we stay in the EU or opt for a Free Trade deal.

This campaign is all about numbers and all of us can do our bit to help. I know that many branches of UKIP cannot wait to be back on the streets with petition stalls.

If every one of you takes a petition form to your office, club or pub we will be on the road towards millions of signatures. At this level I believe the national press will unable to stop themselves joining in the debate about this country being able to decide its own fate.

This may be a long campaign but, if there are enough of us, the politicians will HAVE to listen.

ends

Clearly Nigel Farage is more than a little confused changing his mind on a regular basis or is it just on the grounds of what he can make out of it?


Wasn't it the 2005 petition Nigel Farage, Mark Croucher and David Lott obtained £250,000 pounds of tax payers' money for and then raised a great deal more from yet never produced a single legitimate petition, never accounted a single penny nor the huge profits from Ashford set up on its back (described by Farage as THE most profitable thing UKIP had ever done) yet less than 15% of the money EVER reached UKIP as confirmed by The Chairman David Bannerman.


Is it really coincidence that Nigel Farage deposited £250,000 in his off shore account, Mark Croucher opened 2 pubs (which due to his utter incompetence went belly up) and David Lott relocated via Romsey to France where he would pay less taxes and £1/4Million was paid out by Ashford and deposited into a private bank account.


Indeed Farage does seem ambivalent on the matter of Referenda and Petitions and sadly it does look as if that is based upon corruption rather than political wisdom or leadership - skills he has been proven time and again to lack.supplying the letter so that it could be made public!)

06 for 08-Jan-2011 HEADS UP for The EXPRESS SUPPLEMENT on Saturday re EU.

Hi,

Just a Heads-up not to miss The Express Newspaper on Saturday 08-Jan-2011.

We hear the express will be doing a multi page supplement.

Members of The Midnight Group have been able to assist The Express in producing the supplement on The EU and why The UK should pull out of The EU and there will be an article by The EU Referendum Campaign Group's lead spokesman Jon Gaunt.

We understand that Nikki Sinclaire has been working closely with another Sunday paper to raise the profile of The Petition for an IN/OUT Referendum and it is also expected that The Petition will be laid before Parliament by Nikki Sinclaire working with a prominent Labour MP placing The Petition in The HoC Library and on The Speaker's Chair as is the correct procedure.

It is hoped this will lead to an EDM relative to the first 20,000 signatures - It is then planned that a Tory MP of note will do likewise with the next 20,000 (The petition is just short of the 40,000 signatures needed for the second batch, at the moment)

It looks as if we have a busy year ahead of us at The Midnight Group and wish all our supporters well.

Regards to all and have a great 2011.

DON'T FORGET YOUR EXPRESS COPIES on Saturday.

Regards,
Greg_L-W.

*** - EU Referendum Campaign’s Casts Another Blow to Cameron

EU Referendum Campaign’s Casts Another Blow to Cameron’s EU Budget Celebrations

Posted by Yasin Akgun on November 10, 2010 

The EU Referendum Campaign, has commissioned a poll conducted by ComRes to find out the British publics’ views on the monetary contribution made by the United Kingdom to the European Union. The results, cast a devastating blow to David Cameron who is still attempting to play the narrative of a historic win over the EU budget.
In a poll where 1000 members of the public where asked questions found that:

- 59% of people asked believed that it was not right that Britain should be making a contribution of £48million per day to the EU.

(33% who were imbeciles believed it was right that Britain makes this contribution, keep an eye on this figure..)

- 74% of people asked believed that the money would be better spent relieving the impact of the Government’s spending cuts

- Only 23% of people believed that Britain gets value for money in its membership of the European Union (notice how 33% drops to 23%)

- 68% of people believed that Britain should ask for an immediate reduction in its contribution of the EU budget

This poll shows that the overwhelming majority of the British public do not believe David Cameron when he describes his EU budget negotiation deal as a success.

In light of these poll results James Pryor, the Chief Executive of the EU Referendum Campaign, said:

This poll confirms the ever-increasing disconnect between the political elite and the real people of Britain

with Jon Gaunt, Chief Spokesperson for the campaign adding:

It’s not crystal clear that the majority of British people want the £48 million we send every day to Brussels to be spent here in Britain on vital services. How will Britain feel when an EXTRA £450 million is sent to Brussels next year? Surely David Cameron cannot ignore the will of the British people… it’s time he gave us OUR say on the EU.

It is becoming increasing clear that the people of Britain need to stand together and demand a referendum on the EU.

Could Britain throw a Tea Party as well?

The success of the US political movement has prompted talk of a domestic equivalent. The search is on for our Sarah Palin...

By Ian Burrell, Media Editor

Wednesday, 10 November 2010

GETTY IMAGES

Tea, the poet William Cowper observed, is "the cup that cheers". Unless you're an American, in which case it's a symbol of oppression worth hurling into the Atlantic.

In Britain, tea parties are occasions associated not with revolution but with the aroma of Earl Grey, the gentle clink of china and mad hatters.

The talk on the British right wing yesterday was of the stirring of a new popular alliance inspired by the grassroots right-wing Tea Party movement that has swept America.

Tea Party candidates will stand in the next election in Britain – so predicts Kelvin MacKenzie, the former editor of The Sun – and the shock jock Jon Gaunt has announced his entry into politics at the head of an EU referendum campaign. 

In Britain, as in the US, a grassroots constituency feels ignored by mainstream politics and is intolerant of big government. Its members share a desire for lower rates of taxation, although in the UK campaigners' ire is directed as much at perceived over-interference by the European Union as at the dominance of the British state. Libertarian views do not generally extend to a belief in the benefits of immigration. 

Similarities are drawn between the American movement – whose symbolic leader is Sarah Palin – and the emerging network of libertarian and protest groups on the British right, ranging from the TaxPayers' Alliance and Young Britons' Foundation to the Release Britain from Brussels group. 

Brits jumping on the bandwagon include the death-defying Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party, which polled almost a million votes in the general election, the hard-boiled Tory MEP Daniel Hannan, and the commentator Richard Littlejohn, who sees the Tea Party's constituents as "small business owners, lawyers, housewives". 

"It's no longer about party politics and left and right," declared Gaunt. "There's a lot of disaffected people out there. On Question Time I'm the one who gets the most cheers because I'm independent of any party." 

Gaunt, who was sacked by the radio network TalkSport for calling a local councillor a Nazi, said the broadcasting sector was also failing to reach a disenfranchised group. "Radio stations are conservative and many people are scared of me, which is a shame. There's no one in Britain that can get people reacting the way I do." 

Another populist radio presenter, Nick Ferrari of LBC in London, suggested that his former tabloid newspaper colleague Mr MacKenzie, along with the former Home Office minister and star of Strictly Come Dancing Ann Widdecombe, would make an effective joint leadership of a British Tea Party. 

"Kelvin has an extraordinary touchstone with his readers, he always has, and that fantastic ability to show he is not 'one of them'," said Ferrari. 

"With Ann Widdecombe, she can't dance to save her life but she has huge popularity." Mr MacKenzie, a Sun columnist, did not immediately seize the mantle, suggesting that Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, would make a strong leader of a British movement in favour of the small state and low taxation. "Why wouldn't Boris Johnson do it? With the exception of his Kosovan view of housing benefit in upscale neighbourhoods, I would have thought in all other respects he would have had a pretty normal reaction." 

Mr MacKenzie said mainstream politicians were fearful of the notion of a popular grassroots movement such as the Tea Party. "I think there will be Tea Party candidates over here in various elections, possibly council elections," he said, "but in all honesty I don't see them doing all that well. 

"My problem in the UK is I can't see the number of people who would be of quality to stand. Have we got people who, when they were tested and we looked into their background, we would want to follow?" 

Mrs Palin has admiringly branded some of the Tea Party's firebrand female candidates with the ferocious tag "mama grizzlies", but in a nation of pet lovers the cat-loving Ms Widdecombe might be more resonant. Gaunt has identified as an ally the combative campaigner and mother Jo Clearly, who ran a Facebook campaign against the march through Wootton Basset by the radical group Islam4UK and has now set up Release Britain from Brussels. 

There is no pretence to unity within the British right. Littlejohn says of Ms Widdecombe, for instance: "Once spoken of as a future Home Secretary, she is now reduced to swinging from a trapeze on Strictly Come Dancing, like one of the cartoon hippos in The Jungle Book."

DAVID CAMERON UNDER FIRE OVER HIS PROMISE ON EU BUDGET

David Cameron is under fire over his promise on the EU budget

Wednesday November 10,2010

By Alison Little, Deputy Political Editor

DAVID Cameron was forced yesterday to fend off a claim of dishonesty over his pledge to hold down next year’s increase in the EU budget.

A key player in crunch talks starting tomorrow about the 2011 settlement claimed governments demanding a 2.9 per cent limit knew full well more cash would still have to be found.

The accusation came from MEP chief negotiator. Sidonia Jedrzejewska, of the Polish centre-Right.

 

She said member states ­supporting a 2.9 per cent deal knew extra cash would have to be added during the year to meet existing ­commitments, through “amended budgets” to pay for things such as ­pensions for retired eurocrats.

“It is not an honest proposal. People who wrote the letter know it will be more in the end. They are just postponing payments,” she claimed.

She said “putting a stop” on the EU budget meant capping “ambition” too, adding: “You can’t have more for less.”

A British Government spokesman denied dishonesty, insisting: “The UK is determined to go no higher than 2.9 per cent.

“This is not about postponing payments and we are not privately planning to agree to further increases to the 2011 budget through amending budgets next year. That is wishful thinking on behalf of MEPs. Any future amending of budgets should be about re-prioritising expenditure within these limits, not increasing them.”

His denial came as a new poll underlined the depth of British taxpayers’ anger at the EU’s continuing cost.

And there was cast-iron proof over the poor state of EU finances as ­auditors refused it a clean bill of health for the 16th year running.

The European Court of Auditors said key areas in the £88billion budget were still “materially affected by error”.

Nearly three quarters of people think the £48million a day that Britain sends to Brussels would be better spent here to ease the pain of the coalition’s ­public spending cuts. Some 68 per cent of those polled by ComRes for the EU Referendum Campaign agreed Britain should demand an “immediate reduction in its £17billion a year ­contribution to the EU budget.

This figure “does not take into account the UK rebate which other EU countries want to scrap”. Only 23 per cent thought Britain got good value for money from the EU.

The campaign’s James Pryor said: “This confirms the disconnect between the political elite and real people.”

GAUNTY SAYS...

Spineless David Cameron may as well hoist the white flag over Downing Street.

In the last week he has surrendered over the EU budget rise and handed over at least another £450 million to Brussels despite the fact that 75 percent of Brits wanted a referendum.

He then has the temerity to brag that his actions were a tremendous success. This ludicrous boast is on a par with Saddam’s PR man, Comical Ali, who declared on live TV that Baghdad would not fall as American tanks were rolling down the streets behind him.

Not content with cutting15 thousand jobs in the armed services he now enters into deal with the French that paves the way for a Euro army.

Then he caves into The European court of human rights and says that there is nothing he can do about giving muggers, rapists and paedophiles the vote.

Of course there is something he could do.

He could listen to the British public, which in a ComRes poll last week stated by a massive 75 percent that they wanted a referendum on our continued membership of the EU.

By giving us that referendum we could leave this club but of course this wont happen because Cameron has now shown his true colours which by the way are not white but blue with gold stars.

Yesterday in Parliament in a direct response to a direct question from Labour MP Kate Hoey who asked “is there any chance of a referendum in the next five years on whether we stay in or go out?”

Comical Dave replied, “ I do not believe in an in-out referendum for many reasons. I think we are better off in the European Union.”

And only a few days ago he described him self as a Eurosceptic!

I could describe him as many things the most polite of which is a lying, conniving double dealing conman who has surrendered our great nations independence to an organisation that the majority of people do not want to be a part of and which three quarters of the population are at least demanding a straight forward in or out vote.

Come on Dave give us a vote, what are you scared of?

Sign The Pledge, demanding an EU referendum now!

The Daily Sport Comes Out In Support of an EU Referendum - 19-Oct-2010

EU Must Give Us A Vote

THREE quarters of people in the UK want a vote on whether we should quit the cash-gobbling European Union.

According to results published by the EU Referendum Campaign, 75% of the British public want a say on us staying in the emerging superstate.
And 73% reckon our contribution of £48million a day to the Brussels coffers is not good value for money.

Britain’s unease with our membership of the European club will be increased by news yesterday that Prime Minister David Cameron is set to cave in and allow the EU to squeeze more money from UK taxpayers.

With domestic services facing cuts outlined in last week’s spending review, Cameron had promised to block the 5.9% increase in the EU’s budget for next year.

But yesterday government sources conceded that the Brussels cash grab would go ahead and the already-bloated £107billion EU budget would swell by £3.15 billion.

That means Brit taxpayers will be asked to shell out an extra £435m a year, on top of the £8.3bn we already pay for membership of the EU.

Brussels’ latest spending spree is another reason why the British voters should have a say on our membership of the European Union, according to the EU Referendum Campaign.

Official spokesman, Jon Gaunt, said that a vote on Britain’s membership of the EU is long overdue and that the Union is a club not worth joining.

The TV and radio personality said: “Most working people join a club for cheap beer or some other benefit. What benefit do we get from the EU?

“For every £2.60 that every man and woman pays into the EU, they get a pound back.

“Who would join a club where you pay £3.80 for a £2.60 pint of beer? There’s not a working person in Britain who’d join a club like that!”

He added: “If people thought that the MPs’ expenses scandal was bad, it’s even worse in Brussels.

“Politicians support Brussels because it is a place they can go to when their pitiful careers at Westminster are over — just look at the Kinnocks!

“It is ordinary readers of the Daily Sport, coppers, plasterers and brickies who will pay for the mess that the bankers and the MPs have got us in to.

“Ordinary working class blokes and women are ultimately paying with their jobs.

“We know that David Cameron has been shocked by the reaction to the poll already. If something like 60% had called for a vote, then those in the Westminster Village could have ignored it.

“But 75% is just an overwhelming figure.

“If we get a million people to sign our petition then the demand for a vote cannot be ignored.

“Let’s have a vote. What are they scared of?”

James Pryor, chief executive of the EU Referendum Campaign said: “This sends a clear message to the Prime Minister, David Cameron, that the British public demand to have a say on our relationship with the EU before any budget increase can be approved.

“The £48m a day we send to the EU could be used to save British jobs, invest in our defence force and give all our young people equal access to higher education.

“We are not only facing a financial deficit — we are facing a democratic deficit.”

Jon Gaunt leads campaign for vote on Europe

Oct 5 2010

COVENTRY-born radio DJ Jon Gaunt is spearheading a new campaign for a public vote on whether the UK should pull out of the European Union.

The ex-Sun newspaper columnist and TalkSport “shock jock” presenter is fronting a grassroots campaign which accuses the “political elite” of breaking pledges to let people decide.

The outspoken Mr Gaunt is appearing this week in front of the national media to argue that both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown as Prime Ministers reneged on pledges for a referendum on a new EU constitution – giving more powers to Brussels.

He is also scathing of Tory PM David Cameron’s u-turn in backing down from a previous pledge to hold a public vote on the Lisbon Treaty, after it was passed by member states.

His campaign is this week lobbying Tories outside their conference in Birmingham. Party leaders – in power for the first time in 13 years – would rather steer clear of the divisive issue.

Gaunt hopes hundreds of thousands of people will sign on the website campaign at

*** Jon GAUNT on EU Referendum Campaign

Hi,

Good to see Jon Gaunt upholding the principles of the basic human right of self determination!


Let us hope he keeps this issue clearly at the forefront of his broadcasts.

This is NOT a party political issue it is a matter of integrity on the part of politicians of all parties and their lack of honour in making promises and reneging on them.

This is an issue of basic human rights and a foundation plank of the UN Charter enshrining The Right of Self Determination as one of the core human rights.

No one under 53 in Britain has ever been granted that core right and those over 53 were deliberately lied to as the politicians and their advisers believed the people would vote NO if they were told the truth.

QUOTE Edward Heath in The Houser of Commons after he admitted he deliberately lied to dupe the people on David Frost's interview.

Thank you to Mr. Gaunt for acting as a Patriot and setting an example our Politicians should follow.

Nikki Sinclair to talk at English Democrats conference

Nikki Sinclair MEP is speaking at the English Democrats party conference in Nottingham this week prompting some members to speculate that she might be about to jump ship to the SS Steve Uncles.

As Nikki doesn't support devolution it's unlikely that she'd support the English Democrats anyway but I don't imagine that her appearance at their conference is anything other a leg of her tour of party conferences speaking at fringes.  She was at the UKIP conference a couple of weeks ago and she said she was going to visit every party conference this year (I don't think she made it to either the Green or Lib Dem conference though).

It'll be interesting to see how Nikki is received by some of the more ... interesting characters in the English Democrats.

Nikki was very well received, we all enjoyed her speech. There was so many questions from the floor we had to stop them due to running over time.

Hi,

I believe Sinclaire was in Strasburgh on a prior commitment during the LibDim conference but I do know she personally paid for staff and the bus to be at their conference.

Perhaps you would care to lend support to an actual initiative to get a Referendum in Britain and raise the possibility of leaving the EU.

See:
http://The Midnight Hour.blogspot.com and see how Patriots can set their childish egos aside and work together for Britain - already Nikki Sinclaire, Roger Helmer, Tim Congdon, Trevor Coleman, Dan Hannan, Mike Nattrass, James Pryor, Paul Nuttall, Bridget Rowe, Douglas Carswell, The BOO Group, TFA, LESC, Global Britain, Ian Milne, Tillbrook & The EDP and many many more are co-operating as individuals and separate organisations putting their shoulder to the one wheel for Britain in co-operation.

Set aside your hang ups, bury your prejudices and put Britain first for a change.

regards,
Greg_L-W.

For the record the EDP's Tillbrook invited James Pryor and Bridget Rowe on the Saturday when their key note speaker was Jon Gaunt and Sinclaire was invited and brought Nattrass to a breakfast meeting with their NEC and as key note speaker for the Sunday.

Neither Mike nor Nikki were unaware of the ovatures but I gather from my EDP sources that Sinclaire stated she would be joining no one for at least a year and had every hope that responsible behaviour might emerge after UKIP's upcoming coronation. In the mean time she is taking The Petition Campaign for an EU Referendum to as much of Britain as she can herself and using staff and supporters for the rest.

I gather from the events section the Battle Van will be in Worcester today and will be at the Tory Conference next week.

Anyone nay EVERYONE is welcome to put their Patriotic shoulder to this Cross Party wheel.

G.L-W.

Jon Gaunt set for political campaign comeback?

After being off the air following the sudden closure of SunTalk in July, shock jock Jon Gaunt is hinting on his Facebook page that he may be set for a return by entering politics as a campaigner.

Friends who follow "Gaunty" on Facebook note that he has been posting from Brussels, where he was making a video about the EU, and is linking to material on the European Referendum Campaign website.

The ERC objective is to gain as many referendums on the EU Lisbon Treaty in as many EU member states as possible.

Asked if he is entering politics, Gaunt posts: "Watch this space."
