Gibraltar was Spanish and its original inhabitants were Spanish. Due to freedom of movement within the EU the Spanish are moving in to Gibraltar on masse so I think they will become the majority again which will lead to a referendum which they will probably win. Our elites wont be able to do anything about it and they know it.<br /><br />FrancisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978395067502712967.post-84297401954517627342015-04-08T13:30:09.468+01:002015-04-08T13:30:09.468+01:00We must remember that Gibralta was once Spanish an...We must remember that Gibralta was once Spanish and the irony is many Spaniards are moving into Gibralta. Tge UK talks about sovereignty but that is a double edged sword. Eventually the Spanish will becone the majority and as EU citizens can now vote in referendums it will go.<br /><br />On the other I am not sure if tge Falklands were ever Argentinian however I think the original inhabitants may be of Chillian origin so perhaps Chile has a stronger claim.<br /><br />Russia is simply outsmarting the UK and again I cannot see how the FI will remain an overseas territory. I dont think Argentina will reinvade the islands but I do think they have a better chance using Russia via the UN.<br /><br />We should remember that it was Russia who enabled Scottish and Welsh devolution in the first place with Labour taking the credit.<br /><br />Russia is our only ally and sadly I think it is time to make contact with them.<br /><br />If the UK loses its UN seat or top place st NATO then so be it. The UK has punched above its weight for too long often making the wrong decisions or taking the wrong sides is it any wonder why the Scots nearly voted to leave in September.<br /><br />The UK signs up to conventions then does a U turn and denies its own citizens basis rights. We won the 1982 Falklands campaign because we were homogenous enough and still had enough pride to fight. This time will be different. Argentina doesnt need to invade so no lives will be lost however Chile is probably the only country that coukd actually claim the FI. If they succeed the domino effect will spread.<br /><br />FrancisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978395067502712967.post-59051410936650971092015-04-08T01:24:35.738+01:002015-04-08T01:24:35.738+01:00To me the Falklands and Gibraltar are solely of co...To me the Falklands and Gibraltar are solely of construct, interest and concern of the UK. I don't see what benefit England gains from these constant strained international relations with Spain and Argentina, etc. There can't be more than a few thousand people in the Falklands. Ok so there might be oil but is it worth all the aggrevation? England has enough resources to easily be energy self sufficient given the chance. <br />We should just defend our own shores (without the aid of nuclear warheads imo) and keep out of other people's conflics. An independant England could achieve this. The UK does the complete opposite by inviting the worlds people here and then attacking their spiritual homelands. <br />Mr Tilbrook was recently interviewed by Andrew Neil on the Daily Politics. "The break up of the UK would mean and end to our NATO top seat" explained an emotional Neil in exasperation. When Mr Tilbrook calmly acknowledged that that would be the case Neil was left bemused and angry at the prospect.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978395067502712967.post-76870001667043085402015-04-07T09:27:14.956+01:002015-04-07T09:27:14.956+01:00Thanks to stupid Cameron, Russia has chosen to sup...Thanks to stupid Cameron, Russia has chosen to supply the ArgiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978395067502712967.post-29702344665204405262015-04-06T14:10:27.436+01:002015-04-06T14:10:27.436+01:00Hi its Francis again..

This is worrying because we do not know the extent to which polls have been rigged but I have noticed that polls are showing that the most uk voters now want to stay in the EU rather than leave. Something is up here. Either the eligibility rules have been changed to allow non british eu citizens the right to vote or massive online polling fraud has taken place.<br /><br />In theory I dont object to long term French or German residents voting in a future referendum but I am concerned that millions if resident Poles other east europeans and those whose origins are from the indian subcontinent will be able to vote.<br /><br />I really dont think that the UK as it stands will actually vote OUT because of the gerrymandering mentioned above.<br /><br />The only way of the EU is now is to breakup the UK first. Only when this happens can we decide who can and cant vote in the referendum. Therefore UKIP is misdirection tool why else is it tolerated by the EU.<br /><br />I also note that Russia has backed Argentina over its claims to the Falkland Islands. Well this is to be expected now following the UK governments support of neo nazi rebels in the Ukraine.<br /><br />We are hitting a tipping point now and we have to decide now. We either preserve the UK and its overseas territories but lose England in the process or we preserve England and English identity but lose the UK and the overseas colonies. We cannot preserve both now and one must go in order to preseve the other. We all know that the UK government will do ANYTHING to keep the UK together so that can only be done by destroying England.<br /><br />As far as I am concerned Gibralta and Falkland Islands should have the right to choose their destiny however the more research I carry out the more I find out that the original inhabitants were thrown out and that worries me. The British establishment is doing that trick again but this time in England.<br /><br />I have been told that a lot of Spanish people are moving into Gibralta and are roughly a third of the population well as that number grows so will demands for reunification with Spain and another sovereignty referendum will have to be carried out.<br /><br />Let these places choose their destiny but also let us choose ours. The UK is now the biggest threat to England far greater than the EU itself.<br /><br />We are going to have to consider the possibility of English independence but within the EU for a short period until we finally get round to deciding who is eligible to vote and who is not.<br /><br />The UK must be destroyed first before we can even consider leaving the EU because the original mass immigration floodgates and race laws happened before we joined the EEC in 1973. Blaming the EU is the elites subtle misdirection tactic to divert blame away from themselves.<br /><br />Francis<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978395067502712967.post-7689191885248479852015-04-06T11:17:22.270+01:002015-04-06T11:17:22.270+01:00I was amazed the ED's didn't have a candid...I was amazed the ED's didn't have a candidate in last years by election in Heywood and Middleton.

There must be a potential for support in places like Boston. I would extend the area of focus further north to include areas such as West Yorkshire, East Lancashire and Greater Manchester. <br />As for the biased media, I was listening to Stephen Nolan's programme on BBC 5 live after the leaders debate the other day. The Northern Irishman Nolan was bemoaning the fact that there was no representation from a Northern Irish perspective such as the DUP. He said the Scots were represented by the SNP, the Welsh were represented by Plaid and the English were represented by UKIP but there was no representation from N. Ireland. Nolan claimed it was another example of the province being completely ignored. Personally, I struggle to see how the English can be represented by a party with 'UK' in its title. There was no attempt to correct Nolan by his co-host John Pienaar. Not surprising when, not many weeks ago, Pienaar himself cut a caller off for saying that the ordinary, white, indigenous people of this country would be in a minority before long. "I think we know where you're coming from" said Pienaar to the caller as he terminated the call.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978395067502712967.post-48174753643362989402015-04-05T23:38:03.952+01:002015-04-05T23:38:03.952+01:00The Lib Dems are conducting a strategic retreat to...The Lib Dems are conducting a strategic retreat to defend their heartlands, in the South West of England and the North of Scotland.

Each time the English Democrats put up all over the country with the result of seemingly little to show for all their efforts.<br />I could be wrong but there doesn't appear to be any sort of strategy. Like it or not, at the moment UKIP are seen as the "English" party by many potential English Democrat voters. The media has influenced this but UKIP has also had a strategy to attract the English vote. UKIP are attracting more former Tory voters but disaffected former Labour voters are a bit more sceptical of UKIP. That is the reality at the moment so surely the ED's need to be a bit more realistic as to where votes may come from at the moment. Having a strategy doesn't mean selling your soul and abandoning your principles and ideas. Many of those disaffected Labour voters could be attracted by tailoring and emphasising ED policies which are likely to appeal to them. Elections comes along and it feels as if a massive open goal is there just waiting for the English Democrars to kick the ball into the back of the net but they miss the potential working class vote every time. Each election the open goal is there but the goalkeeper or UKIP gets nearer.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978395067502712967.post-52996940698538054092015-04-03T21:46:17.294+01:002015-04-03T21:46:17.294+01:00The past week or so has seen four different ways t...The past week or so has seen four different ways to sidestep public opinion in England regarding the EU and a possible in/out referendum.

This way, four million Scottish votes could negate thirty million English votes. Now, that's Democracy - Scottish-style!<br />Clive,<br />W-s-M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
