Britain Betrayed – Eu Treaty Made Law

November 4, 2009 pochp Comments off

‘THE last hope of blocking a new European constitution was snuffed out last night – the final kick in the teeth after Labour’s betrayal of Britain.
The Czech Republic became the last EU nation to sign the Lisbon Treaty, which will now become law. Gordon Brown’s Labour broke a promise to give 60million Britons a say on it.
Now it’s too late as we are dragged screaming into a vastly more powerful European Union yesterday. The last remaining opposition to the new EU constitution ended when Czech president Vaclav Klaus was forced to sign the Lisbon Treaty.
His reluctant endorsement meant the document has been ratified by all 27 EU states and will become as good as LAW on December 1.
Gordon Brown – a key element of a Labour Government that reneged on its promise to hold a referendum on the treaty – hailed the move as “an important and historic step for all of Europe”. By TOM NEWTON-DUNN -The Sun

‘The process is a small part of the separation of the African and Arabian tectonic plates, which have been moving away from one another at a rate of 1 inch per year for 30 million years, LiveScience reports.’

Crucifixes in Classrooms Banned

November 4, 2009 pochp Comments off

Do you think that if courts ban prayers inside classrooms, it is more logical to ban crucifixes?:

‘A European court has ruled that the presence of crucifixes in Italian classrooms violates religious freedom. In a decision denounced by Italian politicians, the court said the compulsory display of the crucifix prevents parents from raising kids with the religion of their choice and restricts the “right of children to believe or not to believe,” the BBC reports. The government plans to appeal, and the Vatican said it would examine the ruling before issuing a statement.’ -BBC
