THE EU

Once again, Sir John Major has surfaced to make a fool of himself in his attempts to bolster the struggling Remain campaign (an analysis of an earlier effort is dealt with in the English Rights Campaign item dated 21^st May 2016). This time it was in an interview on the Andrew Marr Show.

 

Sir John, said that the Leave campaign was a 'deceitful', was 'verging on the squalid', and was 'depressing and awful' regarding immigration. He dismissed the notion that the EU is run by 'unelected elites' as 'another piece of copper-bottomed Leave nonsense'. He went so far as to accuse the main Leave leader, Boris Johnson, of being a 'court jester' with whom, along with Michael Gove and Iain Duncan Smith, the NHS would be as safe as a 'pet hamster would be with a hungry python'.

 

Regarding his pet topic of Turkey, Sir John said 'Turkey will not be in the European Union for a very, very long time, if ever, and the Leave campaign know that. That's the point, they know that'.

 

It has emerged that Downing Street put Sir John up to this outburst. One can imagine the desperation that the Ponzi Class must be in that they should stoop so low. One assumes that we are supposed to be impressed with Sir John's knighthood rather than his record or his pronouncements.

 

Despite what Sir John baldly asserts, the EU is run by 'unelected elites', and it is the determination of those elites, and the British Ponzi Class in particular, to get Turkey in the EU as soon as possible. As Lord Owen recently pointed out, only a few weeks ago David Cameron signed a document committing Britain to speeding up Turkish accession. Sir John is being dishonest.

 

As for Sir John's adverse criticism about the accuracy of the Leave campaign, before anyone on the Remain side tries to take the moral high ground, they should apologise for the deluge of outright lying spewed out from the Treasury and a variety of supposed economic experts, who have simply invented allegations and fiddled their forecasts to try and frighten us.

 

Sir John and the rest of the Remain camp want Britain in the EU regardless of the merits. They are a dishonourable disgrace.
