And unless you kindly visit them and tell them, they may have no
idea. The European
Regionalisation Plan will sweep away all Britain’s 48 counties
and replace them with nine EU
Regions reporting directly to Brussels, bypassing Westminster.
Devon and Cornwall will be abolished, and replaced with an EU
Region stretching from Lands
End to Cheltenham and Poole. Exeter already boasts on its
"Welcome" road signs that it’s the
Regional Capital. Hundreds of thousands of civil servants are
already in the Regional structure,
and the police are being forced in at a cost of £600 million.
(They conceal these are
Regions.)
The plan is your address will change from 100 High Street,
Plymouth Devon, England, to 100
High Street, Plymouth, Area K, European Union.
The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) is in charge of
the handover of power to the EU,
and inside that David Milliband, Minister of Communites, was
responsible at the local government
and quango levels (now Ruth Kelly). The handover is already well
underway in Devon, with the
unelected South West Regional Assembly (SWRA) established on the
2nd July 1998 in Exeter.
It has 117 seats.
A few councillors who toe the EU line, or have been on Common
Purpose courses, may get coopted
on. But all the existing seats in Town councils, District and
County councils will be
abolished, unless our councillors have the courage of their
convictions and stop it.
But each council’s convictions are being sapped by an ODPM
"Monitoring Officer." If a councillor
has opinions that don’t toe the ODPM line, he is reported to the
"Standards Board for England,"
who suspends him for up to five years under the Local Government
Act 2000.
EU organisations like the ODPM and Common Purpose are sidelining
councillors by swamping
them with paperwork, "partnerships" and initiatives, handing the
power to the unelected
executive, and local democracy is breaking down. That's why
you've no control over your council
tax - councillors are becoming powerless.
All this became inevitable when the Queen signed Ted Heath’s
1972 EU Treaty of Accession.
The Queen has signed six EU treaties: when she signs the seventh
and final EU treaty, perhaps
in the next three years, our counties will go. We will then be
in the EU’s "Post democratic era,"
and unable to stop it.
There are 19,579 Councillors nationwide and we need to alert
them town by town. Please visit
yours and ask them to remember their duty is to their own local
electorate, not to a national
government attempting to abolish them illegally.
They should throw their Monitoring Officer out of council
meetings, and set up a full ballot of their
electorate, and ask the voters the question:
(Notice to voters: If you vote "No" to this question, you are
voting "No" to the entire EU – the
choice is all of the EU, or none at all. The EU allows no
changes to its plans).
And if their town or county votes "No", then those councillors
should declare UDI. We’ll show
them how. The publicity will bring the truth about the
undermining of local democracy home.
So visit the website http://eutruth.org.uk to get armed with
more details and hard copy, then go
and visit your councillors. And get them to stand up for
themselves, their county, their electorate,
and for the truth.
