Sacrificing our Sovereignty - HS2 and TEN-T Research by Anne Palmer

The Coalition’s Program for Government?

These two paragraphs below are acknowledged as Crown Copyright from the Coalition’s program for Government. Chapter 13: Europe.
“The Government believes that Britain should play a leading role in an enlarged European Union, but that no further powers should be transferred to Brussels without a referendum. This approach strikes the right balance between constructive engagement with the EU to deal with the issues that affect us all, and protecting our national sovereignty”.
We will ensure that there is no further transfer of sovereignty or powers over the course of the next Parliament. We will examine the balance of the EU’s existing competences and will, in particular, work to limit the application of the Working Time Directive in the United Kingdom”.   End of quotes.

We have read recently of the Government’s acceptance of a full speed ahead with HS2.  Yet, not one word from our Government or explanation that the HS2 is part of the EU’s Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) Policy.  Although I have written about this before, I did not emphasize just how, in accepting this EU project, it is transferring ever more masses of UK Sovereignty to the European Union. In the acceptance of this EU Legislation our politicians are allowing the European Union to dictate what we must do on our land, sea, and air. All of which so many people fought so very hard to prevent in the 1939-1945 war, when the people of every age-yes even children- fought so hard for this once sovereign Country to remain forever FREE FROM FOREIGN RULE.

All that I write of today, is meant to be the permanent transfer of UK Sovereignty to the European Union if this legislation goes its full course, World Maps will be changed to show these permanent changes.  There must be a referendum-yes, the promised referendum on this matter whether to remain in the EU or become a free country once again.
The proposed “Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) Policy.”  High Speed 2 (HS2) is the first part of TEN-T this Government seems to be going ahead with.  It gives to the EU, UK Sovereignty (The Authority) to decide what the United Kingdom must have on our British land, from the South Coast all the way eventually to Scotland. Whether we want it or not, or whether we can afford it or not.
Another part of this TEN-T is the transfer of Sovereignty over our sky (Air Traffic Control/Air Traffic Management).  Basically each separate Country has its own Air Traffic Control and that is as it should be for they understand one another.  They get to know each others ways and voices and they know their own Country well.   However, part of the TEN-T is the permanent transfer of Sovereignty over national air space for the EU’s Single European Sky.  (A direct  transfer of Sovereignty).  There is absolutely no need at all for this-just giving power, control and sovereignty permanently to the EU when there is absolutely no need at all.  (Below is an interesting Address re American Traffic Controller)
A High Level Conference on the implementation of the Single European Sky and its extension beyond the European Union took place in Warsaw, 28 November 2011, so without doubt the “Single European Sky” is very much still on the agenda and also, if this Coalition Government believes that it is right to give Sovereignty over our airspace to the EU, then there MUST be the promised referendum on each and every part of TEN-T for each gives away UK Sovereignty to the EU forever.  Not only is it a great loss of UK Sovereignty, but it is given by a very temporary Coalition Government. What price “No Government shall Bind” eh?  Many more people now recognise the fact that all three major political Parties want to remain in the European Union.  They want our votes and they want our taxes for their pay and for contributions to the EU for they want foreigners to govern this Country forever. The people cannot allow that to happen because this Country’s Constitution forbids it and our Governments sworn Oath of Allegiance is to the British Crown and through the Crown to all the people in this land.
I now pose a few questions, for there different ways of looking at this.  Will there be one Central Traffic Control? Air Traffic Management? Or would traffic controllers be simply taken under the wings of the European Union directly?  What if a war broke out between EU Countries? Think it can’t happen?   There was never going to be a second World War, but it came, didn’t it?  We have already witnessed the ‘treatment’ when some-one says, ‘No’.  So! What is the next step? Fisticuffs? Noted that in 2012 the EU is to integrate Air Traffic into CO² EU ETS perhaps through the great extra expense, most will join the Single EU Sky?
Finally, the great PERMANENT transfer of our SEAS and PORTS to the European Union for their Motorway in the Sea”.  I say permanent because World Maps will have to be changed to reflect this, for the Law of the Sea covers the World.  This would be a terrible and tragic permanent loss of national Sovereignty.
We, in this Country of ours, are now being asked to give up sovereignty of our seas and oceans to the European Union.  No, that is not quite right is it because we are not being asked at all on any of this tremendous permanent loss of sovereignty that our temporary Government is so casually giving away, for we are paying financially very dearly to “give it away”. We will always be paying dearly for the loss of freedom to govern ourselves. Why are our own politicians so eagerly destroying our country?   For the creation of one great State of European Union? To let them have all that is in the Sea, that sails on it and the resources, known and unknown above and below the Sea bed? Lost ships and submarines etc, to the EU and yes, all the way down to the Falkland Islands.  The bounty that maybe off the shores of that Island.  I emphasize here how important it is that we maintain total sovereignty over our seas and oceans. Remember what previous British Governments did in giving the EU our fishing grounds?

We were not allowed a referendum on that because we did not know about it at the time, plus remember we were told “there would be no loss of essential Sovereignty” by one once highly thought of elected Prime Minister.   Sadly, it was many, many years after that the people found out just how many MP’s in those days lied about the European Economic Community.   Yes!  We foolishly trusted them.

The EU’s Motorway in the Sea means giving British Sovereignty over our Ports and Seas so that EU ships can “come and go” without asking permission.  Question:  Will our ships become EU ships too?

Perhaps we will all feel closer to the continent just as if the water between us was indeed a river and we are as one complete State?  Is this what this is all about?  Creating one beautiful (in EU eyes) State called the European Union? 

None of this has happened yet, except a commitment by our present Prime Minister for the EU’s HS2, without his asking the people of this Country.  He apparently dare not ask the people because he fears the answer would be a definite “NO”, so WHY has he decided to “go it alone”?   It is indeed time to hold a referendum on an “In” or “Out” of the European Union?  Is there anyone that has any confidence left in this Coalition Government?
To be tied into the European Union for ever or be free to have our own Government governing us by our own Common Law Constitution once again?  For the first time in more than thirty years in the General election of May 2010 there was no single-party majority. After five days of negotiations between political parties, asking one Party and then going to the other political party, a national coalition government was formed for the first time since the Second World War.
There is no way can either Political Party fulfil their proposals or promises either Party made before the General election that people voted for them for.  The people have every right to feel cheated. Would anyone that voted for the Conservatives wanted any policies of the LibDems? Yet to keep the LIBDEMS on board the Coalition, it seems to the people the LIBDEMS have more powers. This emphasizes that a coalition government's programme, drawn up after an election, cannot have the same mandate as a party manifesto which is available to the people before they vote.
It certainly does not escape ME or many others I suspect, that the coalition lacks a popular mandate because it was created after the general election and therefore the electorate had absolutely no opportunity to vote on it.  It is no wonder the people are feeling the anger at all the changes that are being introduced that seem to have just “come out of thin air” and never been heard of before.   It does not escape me either that all legislation should be in keeping with our Common Law Constitution. The dividing of ENGLAND into EU Regions was certainly not.
Although there have been coalition Governments previously, the only time I remember different Political Parties working together successfully was during the last war but there was indeed a true and perhaps at times ruthless remarkable leader and most British Politicians then were fighting the same fight as were the people-fighting for freedom from foreign rule.  More people now are realising that ALL three major Political Parties want to remain in the European Union. Could this lead to yet another Coalition Government?  It will if UKIP does not get its message across that it wants freedom from foreign rule.
Just how much longer can the people, in these hard times, afford to continue paying for a Government that can no longer govern?  That borrows more and more money putting us all in debt, just so that the European Union can continue to govern  us all? Exactly how many Billions of British pounds have we given to the European Union? Has it not dawned on every Country in the EU that they simply cannot afford financially to keep giving an outside Organisation billions of pounds each and every year? 
How many people are losing their jobs and some their homes yet continue to pay through their taxes for two very full Houses in our Parliament that can no longer govern this Country according to our long standing Common Law Constitution?
For any British Government to give British sovereignty over our land, sea and air to foreigners is the greatest betrayal of all when for their freedom, so many in a previous generation gave their lives for our freedom to govern ourselves- today.   Anne Palmer. 19.1.2012.
