Hope for Change

FURIOUS David Cameron last night conceded that Britain had been pushed closer to a European Union exit after receiving an eye-watering £1.7billion Brussels bill.

Red-faced with anger, the Prime Minister vowed to block payment of the “completely unacceptable” surcharge presented by EU officials in a surprise overhaul of national contributions.

“It is not acceptable, it is an appalling way to behave,” Mr Cameron said.

Calls for the UK to withdraw from the EU intensified yesterday following the cash demand, which will cost every family in the country £65.

And he admitted the latest insult to UK taxpayers - with the bill due to be paid by December 1st - was undermining his drive to keep Britain in the EU.

When pressed on the issue by the Daily Express he said: “It certainly doesn’t help, put it that way.”

As the row deepened, there was fresh pressure for the Prime Minister to accelerate his promised in-or-out referendum on Britain’s EU membership.

UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage warned that Mr Cameron was in “real political trouble”.

“Yes, it’s outrageous, but that’s how the European Union works,” he said.

“He’s in a very weak position. He can do nothing about this.

“And I think, really, he’s now being pushed into a position where, unless he brings forward his referendum promise, I think he’s in real political trouble.”

The poisonous row over cash contributions to EU coffers engulfed a summit of European leaders in Brussels yesterday.

Several were incandescent after a string of countries including Britain, Italy, Holland, Greece and Malta, were suddenly presented with extra bills to cover “adjustments” in their membership.

They were told they needed to pay more cash because their economies had performed better than forecast between 1995 and 2013.

Britain’s payment would raise the country’s annual EU contribution to £8.6billion.

But other countries including France and Germany were due cash back because their economies had under-performed.

Seriously? Britain has an economy???

All kidding aside, of course they do, but again, seriously, theirs did so much better than Germany’s?? Really??? I don’t know how things work over there, but over here I see German cars, German appliances, German sports equipment, German tools, German everything all around me all the time. Even our fancy German vacuum cleaner. If I want something English, I’ve got to go dig around in the cheese department of the grocery store, hoping to find a bit of Stilton, or the odd package of Carr’s crackers. Yet our town is full of BMWs, Audis, and Mercedes Benzes.

Same goes for Greece - weren’t they totally in the shitter just a year ago, collapsing from too much debt, rioting in the streets over having to cut the socialist handouts and trim the budget? And now they’re supposed to give back a king’s ransom? Sounds like something is rotten in the state of ... Belgium.

Britain First.
Vote UKIP.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
