read "Cameron's nominee for imposing government by unelected, unaccountable beaurocrats from Brussels".
I'm consistently amazed by the extent to which the Celtic fringe allow themselves to be provoked into spasms of unthinking quasi-nationalism and reflexive anti-English ranting by these sinister figures....
I have come to the conclusion (backed up by bitty, but extensive reading) that this financial crisis is the resolution of something which has been building up since WWII. We are at a T junction where there is a left choice and a right choice. Going on as normal and "returning to growth" are pretty much impossible, all things considered.
So, right turn = small state, nationalism, less state services, etc, etc. (bear in mind a lot of tax paying individuals/companies - not the PAYE plebs will have gone offshore) and a pretty nasty level of inequality. Think pre-industrial revolution, but worse as there are a lot more people.
Left turn = Mandelson's Post Democratic Era. Dictatorship by a political class. Better achieved on a different scale to that of the previous nation. This is our EU business.
When you consider all of the main issues (which are not allowed to be discussed) they all seem to add weight to the Left turn at the T junction.
We will never be allowed a say on the EU, because we will make the wrong choice, however, look at Scottish devolution and note that Scotland are a sole European area. They get to be Scotland, regardless of what happens, whilst England is split into regions. How nice of them! Look at immigration and look how these people vote. All adds up to the country making the right choice.
Sadly, you as someone who has something are about to get comprehensively raped in the name of "fairness" and ensuring the continued rule of the political class as a dictatorship (or as Mandelson labels "post democratic era").
I am very full on Cornish. In fact, I am 1/8th Irish (that's the mad bit) but most certainly 100%, I will not allow myself to be thrown the bone of Cornish nationalism to hide the fact that Britain is being dismantled in the name of "making the right choice" at this inevitable and unavoidable junction many don't realise we are at.
What is interesting is how this is playing out across Europe with the inevitable consequence of nationalist hardline politics. (per usual for these type crises). How this transition to the "post democratic era" will take place will be one of the most interesting parts of future history.
It will probably read a bit like Animal Farm. (did all the other animals slaughter the pigs in the end? I like to think they did)
Anyway, as long as the headgear is grey and there aren't too many sculptures around, all will probably be well. West Cornwall never paid any tax anyway!
