Grave Threat to Britain’s Sovereignty
First it was criminal law. Then national air space. But now the ultimate loss of sovereignty -- Britain's seas.
The EU is now in the process of creating a “common European maritime space.” As a result of this the EU alone will be in charge of members’ territorial waters.
Such a proposal was first threatened in a white paper earlier this year, and is now anticipating the reaction to it while preparing to put forward a draft of a formal proposal next year. Here's what the future would hold: crossing the English Channel would no longer be considered an international trip as the passengers would not be leaving EU waters.
The EU has already forced Britain to open up her fishing zones to European rivals and even threatening to discard the “Red Ensign,” a flag I worship and hold sacred from the merchant ships of Britain’s great empire since the 17th century to the convoys during WWII as they sailed from Canada. Instead, it would be replaced by the EU flag.
So much for Britannia ruling the waves, and its history cast to the wind. I remember the distaste I felt seeing Napoleon's vision of a tunnel linking Britain to Europe realised, and the chagrin I now feel to continually hear of its financial troubles.
Controlling the English Channel has been the key to England’s defence from invasion since the Armada. Again, it was Napoleon while massing his nearly half-million man Grande Armée along the Channel coast who wrote to an admiral: “If we can be the masters of the narrows for six hours, we shall be masters of the world.” Britain maintained mastery of its waters, turning back not only Napoleon but Hitler.
Britain is being expected to simply turn her back on her history and sacrificing the key to her security. On recent form. especially with the shameful attempt at betrayal of Gibraltar, this is a very real threat.
With the proposed EU Constitution demanding the Queen give up her role as of its constitution, Britain’s foreign policy and ability to make treaties will be decided for her, decide how her schools will be run, and formally make Britain's supreme court in Brussels.
It's up to the people to fight for their identity, laws, culture and heritage. Their politicians can certainly no longer be trusted.
