Letter: UK soon to be a memory

Letter: On March 5 our MPs took time off from awarding themselves more money in order to throw out the Lisbon Treaty (Referendum) Bill. This took away the British public's last chance to have a say in whether the Queen should remain as the United Kingdom's head of state or the United Kingdom cease to exist at all.

When the Lisbon Treaty comes into effect the United Kingdom will be broken up.

Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and London will be individual "regions" (states) in the United States of Europe.

The rest of England will be divided into eight other states. Our Queen will have no state to be head of and our "President of the United States of Europe" will be Herman van Rumpoy (he has already been appointed).

If we do not like what Herman van Rumpoy tells us to do there is no mechanism to displace him (even Hitler had to win an election).

This situation has been sought eagerly by the Liberal Democrats and the Labour Party (Gordon Brown signed the Lisbon Treaty).

The Conservative Party is too craven to oppose it (David Cameron and Ken Clarke approve of it).

What a disingenuous end to the United Kingdom which was once believed to be the oldest democracy in the world.

The British people who, together with the rest of the English-speaking world, have rescued Europe from evil dictatorships several times in the past, are now surrendering meekly to the European Commission in a craven manner our forefathers would never have considered. We should hang our heads in shame.
