Ireland's new leader to face EU's EPP heavies in Helsinki. Clegg pushes for Muslim EU.

The Irish Times notes that the tussle over forming a coaltion in that country now centres around the appointment of a finance minister. Elsewhere it makes plain that the real economic outcome for the euro devastated country will be settled in Helsinki in the coming hours, read here.

Nick Clegg, presumably wishing to avoid the humiliation heaped on his party at Barnsley Central last evening (where his party was pushed down to sixth place in a Westminster By-election), chose instead to make a fautuous speech to his EU non-entities, laughingly gathered to discuss Libya etc.' where they agreed to hold a summit on 11th March, as that was an already scheduled meeting date on other matters,  EurActiv reports, linked here:

Speaking alongside Barroso, UK Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who later met EU High Representative Catherine Ashton, also struck a geopolitical note in his statement. Building on his country's support for Turkey's EU membership, he went much further than Barroso, emphasising the role that Turkey might play as role model for Arab countries to follow and as living proof that democracy and Islam are not incompatible.
"As a Muslim majority country, a NATO member and a country firmly committed to the path to EU membership, and a state with a vibrant multi-party democracy, [Turkey] provides a valuable example for other societies. Turkey's warm relations in the region offer benefits in terms of achieving the openness and respect for human rights that we all support," Clegg said.

Cameron and Clegg must surely soon be made to realise that they may be big fish in the thoroughly polluted, stagnant and stinking pond that is British politics, but emerging from such waters they will not be fit company for their more respectable foreign opposite numbers, working as national statesmen and women in attempting to resolve the serious issues facing the world.

Cameron/Coulson/Clegg - By their friends shall ye know them!

Coulson being questioned by the police can hardly come as a surprise to any who have followed his career and background. Here and here.

With Coulson at the centre of Britain's Coalition Government the people of the country will sooner rather than later realise they are being governed by a small clique of PR savvy conmen. Long may he remain at the centre of power to spur the few decent men and women remaining in British politics to gather their courage for once in their lives do the decent thing and eject them all from power.

I wouldn't even employ a PR firm run by Andy, Dave and Nick would you? Sounds altogether too chumsey given the backgrounds they would all first have to submit!

For which Nation does Nick Clegg speak at the UN?

Nicholas William Peter Clegg (such refreshingly cosy sounding familiar Christian names) has his family tree listed on the Wikipedia web site which is linked here. The information provided seems largely backed up in an article from "Family Detective" on Nick Clegg which appeared shortly after he beat Chris Huhne for the leadership of the Liberal Democrat party, which is linked from here.

On Wikipedia Clegg allows this thumbnail description:

Clegg is multilingual: he speaks English, Dutch, French, German, and Spanish. His background has informed his politics. He says, "There is simply not a shred of racism in me, as a person whose whole family is formed by flight from persecution, from different people in different generations. It’s what I am. It’s one of the reasons I am a liberal." His Dutch mother instilled in him "a degree of scepticism about the entrenched class configurations in British society".

Before we go further let me declare my interest in this particular subject, Clegg is a typical Euro leech, who normally would not be worth the effort of investigating, British politics is full of such pensioned apparatchiks whose (tax dubious) EU pensions would be at risk were they not to spend every waking minute extending the seditious powers of this foul institution. Yesterday morning it was reported, however, that Clegg had stepped over the line by suggesting that the use of Tax Accountants was somehow immoral.

Let me be clear on this blog's position on tax, namely that it is the duty of every citizen, in the interests of his own family, for whom he/she is ultimately responsible to reduce their tax payments to the legal minimum within their country of residence.

Secondly let me re-iterate that the evasion of national taxes is theft of their taxpaying countrymen's funds especially when they are accomplished by secretive amendments and hidden clauses in various EU Treaties. Such evasion should IMO become a criminal offence that would thereafter place large numbers of Britain's Great and the so-called Good, being such recipients, firmly behind bars - our Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg would, because of his EU background, necessarily be among them.

But Clegg is not just any old greedy British failed politician milking the system for all he is worth, in fact Nick Clegg can hardly be considered British, let alone English at all. Even the two linked articles above show he is at best only one quarter British, yet the missing portions of the Wikipedia illustrated family tree (note number 21) and background of the humble origins of his supposed British forebears raise more questions than are answered.

How, for instance, from his oh so humble origins, did Dr Hugh Anthony Clegg rise to edit the British Medical Journal and earn such a lengthy tribute, linked here, which noted that he was quite an internationalist as a member of the Council of the World medical association and initiated (and later served as its Secretary) the First World Conference on Medical Education. A surprising feat implying considerable international networking for an individual with the background described in the last two paragraphs of the Telegraph link. Speculation and research on my own ancestry with a similar anomaly I have learned cannot easily be discovered let alone explained, so we will leave such questions aside.

It is clear enough from the undisputed facts and background that Nick Clegg is by no means a typical average Brit! Four languages indeed, I am deeply envious I must admit! So how did this internationalist arrive in Downing Street at the heart of Britain's Governmental power? Well obviously the EU has played its part, in fact looking at the article on Clegg's expenses manipulations, linked here, we discover this startling information:

The claims also include two bills for the Liberal Democrat leader’s home phone in Sheffield, one for £105.88 and the other for £121.56. These detailed four calls to Colombia, including two mobile phones, three to Vietnam, including two mobiles, and 21 calls to Belgium, including six mobiles.

Draw what conclusions you wish from these mistaken claims, in my mind far more damage has been done to Clegg's reputation as a freely acting typical Englishman that he likes to portray than to his other facade as an English gentlemen, unlikely to be putting in 21 calls to Belgium, home country to the odious EU, drug-war torn Colombia and even Vietnam let alone claiming their costs from the poor old British taxpayer.

Yet worse, far worse is to come today! Fresh from his appearences on TV this past weekend and exhortations at his party conference in Liverpool when he lectured the nation on the burning necessity for massive and immediate cuts (which this blog does not dispute) he is now prepared to stand before the UN and on behalf of these same suffering taxpayers, proffer untold bounty and largesse to be spread around the world by organisations broadly similar to the corrupted EU and generally stuffed full of Clegg-like clones syphoning much of the donated funds as they laboriously make their way to the poor. Only a leader of a nation acting on behalf of interests beyond that nation's shores would attempt such perfidy. Who does Clegg represent, it speaks for itself really, does it not? Anybody and anything other than the UK appears the only answer.

Look again at the family tree for Nick Clegg on the Wikipedia link at the head of this posting, and ponder was he perhaps selectively bred and meticulously programmed by the sinister forces behind the EU from his earliest days to appear as a virtual Englishman while working towards our final destruction, not much that he does seems to work against such a theory? Is Nick Clegg, perhaps, a prototype model of an EURobot?

How can Conservative MPs allow such an outrage to continue? Ask them if you plan to attend their conference.

Alibhai-Brown on Blair and Clegg

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is a commentator and sometimes Dateline London broadcaster who, as this weekend, I sometimes watch and read with sometimes open-mouthed incredulity at the sheer plodding predictability of her nineteen-seventies left-wing views. This morning in The Independent however she puts her finger on something about Nick Clegg that I have been hinting at on this blog for the past few weeks. The article concludes as quoted below, but it may be read in full from this link.

"What he (-editor's note Tony Blair...) told us was expedient and increasingly unbelievable. (There is a name for this mental condition – mythomania: the compulsion to embroider the truth, engage in exaggeration or tell lies.)

"Such degeneration befalls many of the powerful who then cast themselves as misunderstood saviours. John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the USA (1767- 1848) wrote: "Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak and that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws." Is there any more pithy and exact description of Blair and the perils of high office?

"Which brings me to our times and another fresh-faced, youngish politician, full of promise and good hope, eloquent and different. Something about him, particularly in the live TV debates, awakened the old hopes in many voters on the left. I speak of Nick Clegg, Deputy PM, a role thrust upon him and which he has taken to rather too well. Never again will I be as naïve as I was in 1997 – politics is a dirty business and requires much patience, surrender and compromise. But unease is creeping in.

"Like Blair with Bush, so Clegg seems to be with David Cameron, too flattered now that he is in the big room with the most powerful people. He no longer seems himself. Nor does Vince Cable. Both are undoubtedly holding back the most rabid Tory ideas, and there is no need yet to give up on them. (If only they would tell us more of the Lib Dem effect on policies.) But there is a glint in their eyes that reminds me of Blair on the turn when he became impatient with critics and refused to engage with public opinion. Perhaps they should read about Blair's journey – it may well save them from taking the same treacherous road and help save our faith in politics.

Nick Clegg talks sense again.

What is happening to the Liberal/Democrats?

Most of their MPs have emerged from the expenses relatively unscathed - now their leader, horrible eu-federalist though he may be, was making perfect sense in his interview on the Andrew Marr Show on BBC1 this morning, in complete contrast to the dreadful performance offered by the leader of the supposed main opposition party David Cameron, who seemed to make staying within the corrupt and now clearly sinking EU his main priority above all other policy areas.

Cameron's Party Chairman, the smarmy stupid and overbearing Eric Pickles was meantime being revealed over the breakfast tables of the nation as a former ardent Marxist in the Sunday Times.... figures!

Check my blog of Ukip Uncovered for a possible best way forward to handle this situation

Staythorpe Protest and Clegg's son Miguel

There will be new protests at Staythorpe Power Station continuing in Newark later today, read one report here.

The fact that Nick Clegg, whose own links to Spain are not generally trumpeted, has decide with his Spanish wife to call their third child Miguel did not strike me as particularly odd when reading the news reports yesterday, but bearing in mind the refusal of the Spanish sub-contractor at Staythorpe to hire British workers and Clegg's close relations with the EU and his status as an EU pensioner it occurs to me that the choice of name for his third son might be taken with a view to getting some form of future guarantee of employment in England when the lad matures in twenty odd years time. We must face facts, I guess, after all at the present rate who will be employable in a 100 per cent EU controlled England by then?

The junior Clegg will presumably not be aiming for a job as a construction worker of course, possible a career in another area of Spanish investment, such as a foot on the ladder towards running the Abbey National perhaps!
