From a very good friend, Bryn Wayt, who penned this to Bliar:
Tony,
Who said this?
Not once in the 16 months I spent on the Convention did representatives question whether deeper integration is what the people of Europe want..........
Who said this?
I voted against the European Union Bill on Third Reading because, once again, they had stretched the limits. From the moment that Giscard d'Estaing introduced this cock-eyed constitution, I have thought "Perhaps they have gone too far this time." Will the Foreign Secretary tell Chirac and Schröder that we will not go down the road that they are suggesting? Will he send them a copy of Monty Python's dead parrot sketch—it is deceased; it is kaput; it is no more?
Read on Tony!
I did sign that Petition - and for good reason. YOU and the governments before you have led honest British people into the EU with a pack of lies.
Ted Heath told lies that presently live on, and kindle your desire to be FULLY integrated with the swindlers and egomaniacs that run 'things' from Brussels. The EU Club is so corrupt and destructive that it must make good men turn in their graves, and those alive, sick at the treachery that drives you and your like to try and approve this EU cancer.
Referendums in the UK are rare. So are politicians that tell the truth. Which reminds me Tony of a promise YOU made, here's the honesty test again:
The European Union Referendum : Directgov - Guide to government
Prime Minister Tony Blair has promised that a referendum will be held in the UK to let voters have their say. The referendum will probably be held sometime in 2006 and will ask one question: "Should the United Kingdom approve the treaty establishing a constitution for the European Union?"
Broken your promise haven't you sunshine! As Sir Alan Sugar would say, "YOU'RE FIRED!"
Liars are ten a penny, and I hate paying their way as an MP or MEP or EU propaganda merchant.
Prime Minister's Speeches - 2003 - Joint Press Conference in Poland with polish PM Leszek Miller Prime Minister: Poland is having a referendum on whether to join Europe. We had a referendum on whether to join Europe. [based on wholesale lies] There is no case whatever for having a referendum on the convention, unless it altered fundamentally the way that Britain is governed. Since I believe that the outcome of this convention will be the reaffirmation of Europe as a union of nations, not a federal superstate where foreign, and defence, and tax policy remain with the British people, there is no fundamental constitutional change that would warrant a referendum.
-------------------------------------
"We already have a federation. The 11, soon to be 12, member States adopting the euro have already given up part of their sovereignty, monetary sovereignty, and formed a monetary union, and that is the first step towards a federation." German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, FT July 7, 2000.
Parliament - the elected representatives of the British people - has the right to take important decisions on their behalf. Important decisions like going to war on a pile of lies...... have you found any WMD yet Tony? Dodgy dossiers and sexed-up trash - that's what the EU is too and you dare to play politics with that. YOU have NO RIGHT to mess with democracy and make "important decisions" on my behalf - and more than half the country!
I DON'T TRUST YOU to make a cup of tea. You have destroyed this country - that is your legacy! NHS, Transport, Pensions, Defence, Law and Order, Education, farming, fishing, manufacturing, illegal immigration........... the list goes on and on. RUN this country and make important decisions - you cannot run a cold bath. Now you try and tell me YOU want to slip into the EU like a pickpocket into this nations jacket..... you have been rumbled Mr. On yer bike!
This was the case when the UK joined the (then) European Economic Community (EEC) in 1973. Now you are talking about the LIES that were told back then, and with the same silk tongue that licks the wounds of a disastrous and hellish 10 years you have disgraced the Office of Prime Minister. Don't tell me any more of your lies or try and bullsh^t about the EEC of 1973........... a trading agreement that has turned into a cancerous monster, that has eroded every pillar of the Great Britain I was once willing to die for when wearing RAF Pilot wings for 12 years. YOU have been screwing the life out of the GB I once loved, and turned me against ALL you stand for with this new form of Nazi wind that has grown to a storm from the East, fanned by your duplicity and bad breath management.
There was, of course, a referendum on UK membership of the EEC in 1975 because the Labour Government was committed to seeking the approval of the British people for the renegotiated terms of membership which it had obtained. Funny how you've changed your tune! There was a time you were dead against this EU thing. The mind-numbing utter LIES that the Laeken Declaration spouted would make Goebbels click his heels and salute.
"The image of a democratic and globally engaged Europe admirably matches citizens' wishes. There have been frequent public calls for a greater EU role in justice and security, action against cross-border crime, control of migration flows and reception of asylum seekers and refugees from far-flung war zones. Citizens also want results in the fields of employment and combating poverty and social exclusion, as well as in the field of economic and social cohesion."
Laeken Declaration, 15 December 2001, which set up the Constitutional Convention under Valéry Giscard-d'Estaing, to write the first European Constitution. No evidence is given for any of these assertions of what the citizens of Europe want.
Out of 27 countries, how many allowed 'the people' to vote for what they wanted? You can count them on ONE hand. That is not democracy at work - it is Stalinism. Back in Feb 2005 I wrote an email to you: read it again. It contains words that I endorse to the hilt.

Subject: Reject this tawdry Constitution - Mr Alister QC
ONE minute to decide history.
Captain Bryn Wayt
------------------
European Parliament: 11th January 2005, debating the Treaty Establishing a Constitution For Europe.
Mr Alister is a QC and an MEP for the DUP in Northern Ireland
Allister (NI) - Mr President, though this House, in self-congratulatory euphoria, will embrace this Constitution, thankfully the ultimate decision rests with the Member States. It is their votes that really matter.
What I despise most is the false pretence, particularly prevalent in the United Kingdom, that this Constitution is merely a tidying-up exercise made necessary by enlargement and that it will settle the constitutional shape of Europe for generations. That is demonstrably false. Those who peddle that deception are best exposed by the Constitution's own most ardent and more honest proponents.
In the Constitutional Affairs Committee, I have observed at first hand the strategy and scheming of arch Europhiles. They make no secret of the fact that this Constitution is not an end in itself, but a work in progress and they do nothing to conceal their ambition to have it, in their terms, strengthened at the first opportunity - without, of course, the troublesome obstacle of further national consultation. Their undisguised candour gives the lie to those who would deceive voters into thinking that this is a mere tidying-up exercise: it is not.
The choice for the nation-states is this: a choice between a Europe of cooperating sovereign nation-states, or a Europe that is itself a superstate. Despite all the denials, this Constitution is a framework for superstatehood. It declares its supremacy over national constitutions; it proclaims the subservience of national law; it appoints its own president and foreign minister. It relegates national parliaments to mere consultative sounding boards; it trades meaningful democracy for the pseudo*democracy of this House; it neuters the last defence of the nation-state by increasingly supplanting the national veto with radically increased qualified majority voting; and it provides an unbridled path to further integration by permitting amendment by heads of government rather than by the people. Anyone with pride in his or her own nation, who does not want to see it subsumed into a hideous conglomerate, will reject this tawdry Constitution.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You know why I want a Referendum on this EU Constitution? So I my country is NOT subject to these scandals. The French and the Dutch voters told you lot where to go. Had you not broken your promise, you would have had another kick-in-the-teeth for you EU Constitution lovers.
The DIRTY Dozen
1. Rule Britannia, not any more: EU rules - Article 1-6 states: "EU law shall have primacy over the law of member states" SOD that!
2. Who runs Britain's Economy? EU constitution says: "Member states shall coordinate their economic and employment policies"
3. EU to set British tax rules? EU constitution says: "The Union shall provide itself with the means necessary to attain its objectives and carry through its policies"
4. Who controls British business? EU constitution says: "The Union shall have exclusive competence over. fisheries policy, commercial policy, Customs Union"
5. Are you British or are you an EU citizen? EU constitution says: "Every national of a Member state shall be a citizen of the Union"
6. Who will run UK Foreign policy & Defence? EU constitution says: "The Union shall have competence to define and implement a common foreign and security policy... and framing of a common defence policy"
7. Why vote for the three main political parties? EU constitution says: "A European law shall be a legislative act. It shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member states."
8. You do as we say - EU constitution says: "Member states shall adopt all measures of national law necessary to implement legally binding Union Acts"
9. Judge and Jury in its own cause! EU constitution says: "The Court of Justice of the EU shall rule on actions brought by a member state."
10. Gone Fishing - or Fishing Gone? EU constitution says: "The Union shall have exclusive competence for conservation of marine biological Resources under the Common Fisheries Policy".
11. British Parliament - Museum of Democracy? EU constitution says:"EU member states...must refrain from any measure which would jeopardise the attainment of the Unions' objectives."
12. Bye-bye Great Britain! EU constitution says: "The flag of the Union shall be a circle of 12 golden stars on a blue background" YUK!
+ these TWO
13. Goodbye to the £Sterling! EU constitution says: "The currency of the Union shall be the Euro"
14. "Oh - What a lovely war!". Para 294-2 states: "Member States shall actively and unreservedly support the European Union's foreign and security policy"
The only thing missing is Hitler's signature............what went wrong?
Thereafter, each Treaty change - notably the Single European Act and the Treaties of Maastricht, Amsterdam and Nice - has been ratified following the passing of an Act of Parliament. Bulldozed through like the Animal Health Act - after you lot ILLEGALLY slaughtered millions of healthy animals in 2001. You were found out telling your damn lies then, so the law was changed in an instant! Don't try and tell me UK voters wanted these Treaty changes!
Subject to Parliament's agreement, the Government has committed itself to a referendum on the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe before its ratification by the UK. Then what are you waiting for Tony? Bring it on. Try and shut up for a change, and let the voters decide. Let the battle be joined as you said. You are too much of a coward to do battle other than with weasel words - you let others draw real blood.
You talk of Parliament's agreement; you are a dictator that just forges ahead ignoring Parliament with arrogant distain. Ask Lord Butler what he thinks of your wild-west antics! Former Cabinet Secretary Lord Butler launches an outspoken denunciation of the Prime Minister’s informal decision-making, condemning his failure to consult the Cabinet over the granting of independence to the Bank of England during his first days in power. He says Mr Blair and Gordon Brown concealed their intentions from both senior civil servants and members of the Cabinet and the Prime Minister could not understand that he was bypassing centuries of British tradition.
Following the 'no' votes in referendums in France and the Netherlands, however, the future of the Constitutional Treaty is now unclear. And I am delighted to hear that! Not often the French and Dutch lead the way...........UNCLEAR, what is unclear? The EU 'stuff' is dead; bury it and the stinking body.
YOU refused to let the UK have that vital moment to tell the world what real people want ....... they do not want the EU Federal State!
Hansard: 6 Jun 2005 : Column 999
Mr. Dennis Skinner (Bolsover) (Lab): Does the Foreign Secretary agree that people in the Common Market and, latterly, the European Union have from time to time overreached themselves in trying to sell a package from the top down? For example, they almost went a bridge too far when the then Tory Government signed the Maastricht treaty. I voted against the European Union Bill on Third Reading because, once again, they had stretched the limits. From the moment that Giscard d'Estaing introduced this cock-eyed constitution, I have thought "Perhaps they have gone too far this time." Will the Foreign Secretary tell Chirac and Schröder that we will not go down the road that they are suggesting? Will he send them a copy of Monty Python's dead parrot sketch—it is deceased; it is kaput; it is no more?
-------------------------
"The Convention brought together a self-selected group of the European political elite, many of whom have their eyes on a career at European level, which is dependent on more and more integration. Not once in the 16 months I spent on the Convention did representatives question whether deeper integration is what the people of Europe want, whether it serves their best interests or whether it provides the best basis for a sustainable structure for an expanding Union."
Gisela Stuart, Labour Member of Parliament, Member of Constitutional Convention and Drafting Presidium. From The Making of Europe's Constitution, Fabian Society Pamphlet, 2003.

Give the UK voters a Referendum on this EU Constitution malarkey Tony............ I dare you!
