What are we doing to stop our beloved Britain being taken over?
19:59pm 3rd November 2007

This is too frightening and too important to ignore any longer.

If we don't want to become a neglected outstation of the European Superstate, stripped of our nationhood, powerless to decide who lives here, controlled by laws we don't make and can't change, ruled by a government we cannot throw out, we have rather a short time in which to do something about it.

You may think none of this matters to you, but the trouble is that it does, whether you think so or not.

The European Union is interested in you, your liberty and your money, even if you don't care about it.

Its decisions affect your life, even if you don't realise they do.

When I point out that local councils are changing rubbish collections because of EU laws, people don't believe me.

1. This has never happened before in the history of Britain!

Every part of Britain, no matter how tiny, is just as independent as it has always been, even centuries ago! Now evil Brussels threatens that ancient independence!

2. Yes, I'm afraid this article is the kind of crap the Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday prints

It's Christopher Hitchens' brother, by the way - and he is reliably anti-European like this - mistrusting of anyone foreign, yearning for Thatcher.

But it is a good example of why the Mail should be looked at with suspicion - because the views like this are often allowed to bias the 'news' stories too.
