A few quotes from our masters tell us all we need to know about the corrupt, wasteful, undemocratic EU

1. It has always been the intention to create a single super-state ruled by Brussels:

“The signatory states are determined to lay the foundations of an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe” Treaty of Rome 1957

“The process of Union is like the Rhine flowing into the sea. Anyone who stands in its way is crushed” Helmut Kohl 1994

“The creation of a single European state bound by one European constitution is the decisive task of our time” Joschka Fischer, German Foreign Minister 1998

2. Our masters have always known we would not accept their plans and that they would have to lie to us:

“Europe’s nations should be guided towards the super-state without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation” Jean Monnet 1952

“We are working discreetly …….. and all the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands” Arnold Toynbee – Historical researcher and founding father of the EU

“No government dependent upon a democratic vote could possibly agree in advance to the sacrifice that any adequate plan (to build the EU) must involve. The British People must be led slowly and unconsciously into an abandonment of their traditional economic defences, not asked” Peter Thorneycroft (later Lord and Chairman of the Conservative Party) 1947

3. Outsiders have been amazed at how we are giving up our freedom:

�The most puzzling development in politics during the last decade is the apparent determination of Western European leaders to re-create the Soviet Union in Western Europe� Mikhail Gorbachev

“How can you let a country with a great history for 20 generations, disappear as a province of a bureaucratic Euro-State run by Helmut Kohl? I don’t understand what is wrong with you!” Pat Buchanan (American Presidential Candidate) 1996

4. The future – some told us the truth:

“Here in Brussels, a true European government has been born. I have governmental powers. I have executive powers for which there is no other name in the world, whether you like it or not, than government” Romano Prodi EU Commission President

“The future will belong to the Germans….when we build the House of Europe. In the next 2 years we will make the process of European integration irreversible. This is a really big battle, but it is worth the fight” Helmut Kohl 1996

“Germany as the biggest and most powerful economic member state, will be the leader, whether we like it or not” Theo Waigel

5. Others have�lied

“There are some in this country who fear that in going into Europe, we shall in some way sacrifice independence and sovereignty. These fears I need hardly say are completely unjustified” Edward Heath 1971

“We’ll negotiate withdrawal from the EEC which has drained our natural resources and destroyed jobs” Tony Blair 1982

“If there are further steps to European integration, the people should have their say at a general election or in a referendum” Tony Blair 1997

“Our policy has not changed and if there is any question of it changing we will tell you”� Tony Blair April 2003

“I see no case for having a referendum on the new EU Constitution. We don’t govern this country by referendum” Tony Blair May 2003

“If you want a referendum on the EU, then vote Conservative” David Cameron 2009
