| In
1989, the Greens sent shock waves through the other parliamentary
parties when they gained 15% of the votes in the European elections.
This result, reflecting as it did growing concerns about the state
of the planet, galvanised all the other parties into adopting their
own environmental policies - inadequate as they were and still are.
Thus the Greens acted as a lightning rod for a public concern that
the other parties were largely ignoring. |

EXPANSION = CATASTROPHE. My wife and I live in a penthouse apt
in 'good' area of Hamburg close to the inner city. In the past 18
months our neighbourhood has turned into a high crime area. In the
past 2 weeks, the Newspaper/cigarette shop across the road was broken
into for the 5th time......the Shop owner got the get-away car 's
numberplate and the Police found the booty in the thieves apt....but
the 4 Albanians got let off. |
| Tyranny
is coming to Europe in the form of a new multicultural empire.
Ancient sovereign states, such as England and France, and newer ones,
such as Germany and Italy, are to cease to exist and to be folded
into a European superstate. National existence is targeted for extinction
by about 2006 followed by national consciousness. Preparing the British
for their demise as a people, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw wrote in
“The Independent” on Nov. 22 that “in a world where
states and the interests of their citizens are so obviously interdependent,
we need to rethink our attitudes to concepts like ‘independence’
and ‘sovereignty’.” Prime Minister Tony Blair agrees.
The war against terrorism, he says, has made national sovereignty
out of date. |
| A
campaign of fear, orchestrated by Prime Minister Tony Blair's
Labor government and misguided British business interests, is driving
the British people into the maw of the European superstate. Unless
the British give up their currency and adopt the Euro, the argument
goes, the British will be left economically isolated and slowly sink
into the sea. |
| What
Will Happen To Pensions If We Fail To Say No To Europe & The
Euro. Britain is better off, both because our demographic position
is much stronger, and because our pension savings are more than the
savings of Germany, France, Italy and Spain put together. |
| Why
Europe Needs Britain. The transatlantic alliance — the springboard
of America’s global involvement, in Zbigniew Brzezinsky’s
words — will change dramatically in the first decade of this
century. Americans would be prudent to prepare for the possibility
of estrangement in the relationship, stemming not just from differences
in economic outlook between a given U.S. administration and the leading
European governments of the day, but also from a secular desire by
some in Europe to vie for global political leadership. It should hardly
need mentioning that such an outcome would have adverse consequences
for the way the United States projects its power throughout the globe;
we would have to learn, for one thing, to do without our European
partner. |

could not conquer England, nor could Hitler, but Socialist bureaucrats
in Brussels have with help from Tony Blair’s New Labour and British
nonchalance. Britain is on its way back to the reign of Charles I
with its secret courts and imprisonment without trial or evidence.
Once-proud Brits are suffering the indignity of being gradually brought
under European law by ministerial edicts that bypass Parliament. Recently
the British lost their ancient system of weights and measures, but
now they are on the verge of losing their legal system, the development
of which is, essentially, the history of Britain. |
| Yea
to the Nej Swedes won't take the euro. Despite that, they were
comfortably ahead by the time when, a few days before polling, Anna
Lindh, Sweden's foreign minister and the most-popular advocate of
the single currency, was murdered in a downtown Stockholm store. The
attack on Ms. Lindh was a crime that appalled the nation, but if this
tragedy (and none-too-subtle attempts by the EU Commission to exploit
it) persuaded any Swedes to change their minds, it wasn't apparent
in the result. The euro was rejected by 56-42 percent, a far-higher
margin than had been expected. |

Breakdown of Trust Carnival 2002 Nepotism, fraud, gross misbehaviour,
kangaroo courts and libel - these are just some of the serious charges
being laid against decision-makers at Notting Hill Carnival Trust
(NHCT). For once, newspaper headlines talking of "chaos"
and "crisis" in Carnival are not exaggerated; if anything,
they understate the gravity of the situation and complexity of the
splits in the organisation |

2000 Notting Hill Carnival in Jeopardy ? The future of London's
Notting Hill Carnival, Europe's largest carnival, is in doubt after
two men were murdered and 19 stabbing incidents were reported to the
police. Greg Watson 21 of Northolt, West London died from a single
stab wound after challenging a youth who had approached his 14 year
old female cousin. Abdul Bhatti, a 28 year old salesman from Hounslow,
West London died from head injuries after being attacked by a gang
who had robbed his friends. This latter incident is being treated
by police as a racially-motivated crime. Police officers had filmed
a group of 50 youths rampaging through the carnival before Bhattia
was killed. The gang were involved in "steaming", a form
of robbery which involves large numbers of youths. |
