UKIP ABERDEEN: September 2010
http://ukipaberdeen.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 September 2010. The End Of The West 2025. Guy Leven-Torres MA(Hons), FSEFA. Principal Archaeologist Society of Experimental Archaeology. Today I write in full academic mode. I make no apologies for displaying my full titles above. These are not an act of elitist snobbery but to show I write from professional authority. No doubt the 'Usual Suspects' will deride with such comments as 'Everybody has a degrees and don't display them to show off! By 2025, Europe will be an Islamic State. Yet they h...

Hustles in Brussels: June 2012
http://hustlesinbrussels.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Eurosceptic MEP's view from the EU. Monday, 25 June 2012. This weekend I joined hundreds of bikers before they embarked on a protest cavalcade down the M4 - one of 12 major demonstrations up and down the UK, organised by the Motorcycle Action Group. To protest against proposed EU legislation that will limit the right to modify new bikes and make on board diagnostics compulsory. At 1300 the motorcyclists set off from the12 meeting points - representing the 12 EU Parliamentary Constituencies. Everyone I sp...

Hustles in Brussels: The Catch 22 of Coverage
http://hustlesinbrussels.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-catch-22-of-coverage.html
Eurosceptic MEP's view from the EU. Thursday, 11 October 2012. The Catch 22 of Coverage. I read today in the Daily Mail that the BBC are planning to rethink their coverage of the EU. After complaints that they are regularly one sided and too pro-EU. At last a BBC I can get behind! Yet when it comes to Eurosceptics, as we are dubbed, and according to the majority of public opinion polls, accounting for around two thirds of the population, we are handled as if we are extremists and lunatics. We are the sec...

Hustles in Brussels: September 2012
http://hustlesinbrussels.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Eurosceptic MEP's view from the EU. Thursday, 27 September 2012. The moral implications of bail outs and austerity. How little we have seen of the human impact of the ongoing financial crisis in the Europe. And yet then, when we read on, we learn that Greece has asked for that, despite being reprehensible for having committed such and such an oversight, while doom laden Spain is sure to encounter this in their fate leaving it to Germany to propose that, and so forth. Mr Barroso, it was your fiscal policy...

Hustles in Brussels: Is this what you call a democratic political system?
http://hustlesinbrussels.blogspot.com/2012/10/is-this-what-you-call-democratic.html
Eurosceptic MEP's view from the EU. Friday, 26 October 2012. Is this what you call a democratic political system? It is so disheartening to watch the government, supposedly representing its people, filibuster a Private Member's Bill, formed after a call from more than five thousand people, until it is presented before an almost empty house, when that bill relates to the structure via which 75% of UK law passes. In principle, private members' bills follow much the same parliamentary stages. The bill's pro...

Hustles in Brussels: November 2012
http://hustlesinbrussels.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Eurosceptic MEP's view from the EU. Thursday, 1 November 2012. So Labour wants to play games? Yesterday's Commons debate on the future EU budget was laughable really. I couldn't decide whether it was trick or treat when Labour got behind Tory rebels to defeat Cameron's proposals on a real time budget freeze:. Because at least for once on the issue of Europe, the Government majority were actually on the side of the British general public. Excuse me Mr Milliband? It was also under Labour's watch that half ...

Hustles in Brussels: Is this what you call a Union?
http://hustlesinbrussels.blogspot.com/2012/10/is-this-what-you-call-union.html
Eurosceptic MEP's view from the EU. Wednesday, 10 October 2012. Is this what you call a Union? Not since Captain Corelli's Mandolin have images of the Swastika in Greece been so prevalent on our TV screens. Is this really the 21st century reality of the European Union? The Greek people blame Merkel for overseeing the strict programme of cuts that have been conditions of receiving financial help. Yesterday, Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaris pleaded with the German Chancellor that his country was "bleed...

Hustles in Brussels: February 2012
http://hustlesinbrussels.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Eurosceptic MEP's view from the EU. Wednesday, 22 February 2012. The Most Expensive Sticking Plaster in the World. It’s been labelled the most expensive sticking plaster in the world. Greece has been granted the biggest bail out in history. An eye watering €130 billion Euros will be put into a separate piggy bank for Greece to spend on debt repayment. But such an exorbitant gift comes at a high price. Be spending a load more on debt repayment than they will ever have in their coffers. Of the IMF, EU and ...
