European Union Insults the World

April 19, 2012

From Mail Online

Today we learn that the European Union…is opening a £44m museum that will be a House of European History. This vanity project in and of itself is an offensive waste of money as governments and peoples tighten belts across Europe.

But what I found most offensive of all is that World War II is to be described as “the European Civil War”… a European Civil War that saws millions fight and die in theatres around the world in places as diverse as Tobruk, Pearl Harbour and the Burma Railway…

What greater calculated insult can there be to those from India, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and across the world who fought and died to defend freedom from Nazi and Japanese tyranny?

Nanny State Strikes Again

October 10, 2011

The Nanny State has struck again in Europe and it seems children are being denied fun because of it. Playgrounds have been “de-funned” long ago, but now it’s those nasty balloons that need attention. Is there anything the EU finds acceptable?

Children are to be banned from taking part in traditional Christmas games, from blowing up balloons to blowing on party whistles, because of new EU safety rules that have just entered into force…The EU toy safety directive…states that balloons must not be blown up by unsupervised children under the age of eight…party games including whistles and magnetic fishing games are to be banned…Whistle blowers, that scroll out into a a long coloured paper tongue when sounded – a party favourite at family Christmas meals – are now classed as unsafe for all children under 14.

As well as new rules for balloons and party whistles, the EU legislation will impose restrictions on how noisy toys, including rattles or musical instruments, are allowed to be…An EU official admitted that the new regulations could be difficult to understand but insisted that safety experts knew best. “You might say that small children have been blowing up balloons for generations, but not anymore and they will be safer for it,” said an official.

UK Prime Minister Calls for Less Tolerance

February 6, 2011

David Cameron, Prime Minister of the UK, gave a major speech on terrorism filled with the truth rather than politically correct rhetoric. He dared to say that excessive tolerance is a root cause of problems and that policies of the past had to change. He also dared to say that multiculturalism has been a failure and that citizens are losing their sense of what it means to be British. He called for European leaders to “wake up” to what is going on and re-think their ideas on tolerance. With views such as these, it is no wonder that Obama has been treating the UK coldly and distancing himself from our most staunch ally. Cameron said everything that Obama seems to be against.

From MailOnline.com

In a major speech on terrorism, the Prime Minister argued that Britain has been too ‘passive’ towards organisations and preachers who poison the minds of young Muslims.

Mr Cameron said Britain needs to be less tolerant and more judgemental when faced with ideologies that threaten the country’s basic values…he  suggested that to ‘belong’ in Britain, individuals must sign up to core values such as freedom of speech, the rule of law and democracy.

The Prime Minister pledged to end all public funding for groups which give succour to extremist views. And he called for action to ban extremists from radicalising young people in universities, prisons and internet chat rooms.

The Prime Minister also hit out at Labour’s experiment with multiculturalism – calling it a failure. He says society has failed to provide a strong sense of what it means to be British

“So when a white person holds objectionable views – racism, for example – we rightly condemn them.

But when equally unacceptable views or practices have come from someone who isn’t white, we’ve been too cautious, frankly even fearful, to stand up to them.”

EU Calendar Omits Christian Holidays, While Noting Jewish, Muslim Celebrations

January 25, 2011

From FoxNews.com

The European Union has published a school calendar that omits Christian holidays, like Christmas and Easter, while noting significant Jewish and Muslim celebrations.

Three million copies have reportedly been printed of the calendar, which will be given out freely to students who request it from the union’s 27 member countries.

The Catholic News Agency reports that former French politician and government minister Christine Boutin noted the omission of Christian holidays in a Jan. 11 blog post, saying the calendar slights “the religion practiced or recognized as forming the cultural assembly of our ‘old’ continent.”

She wrote that Christianity has “fallen into the limbo of collective ignorance.”
