We were lied to! Secret Document Shows Why!
A secret document FCO 30/1048 kept the truth from the British public for 30 years.
A secret document, which remained locked away for 30 years, advised the British Government to COVER UP the realities of EU membership so that by the time the public realised what was happening, it would be too late.
Almost all of the shocking predictions - including the loss of British sovereignty, to monetary union - and the over-arching powers of the European courts - have come true.
But damningly for Tory Prime Minister Edward Heath, and all those others who kept quiet about it during the 1970's, the document known as FCO 30/1048, was locked away under Official Secrets Act for almost five decades.
The secret paper, dated April 1971, suggested the Government keep the public in the dark about what EEC membership means, predicting that it would take 30 years for the voters to realise what was happening and by then it would be too late to leave.
That last detail was the only thing this disgraceful paper - prepared for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) - got wrong!.
The unknown author - a senior civil servant, correctly predicted the then European Economic Community (the EEC effectively became the EU in 1993) was headed for economic, monetary and fiscal union, with a common and defence policy, which would constitute the greatest surrender of Britain's sovereignty since the year 1066.
He went on to say "Community Law" would take precedence over our own courts and that ever more power would pass away from our own Parliament to the bureaucratic system centred in Brussels.
The author even actually asserts that the increased role of Brussels in the lives of the British people would lead to "popular feeling of alienation of Government".
But shockingly politicians were advised "not to exacerbate public concerns by attributing unpopular measures.....to the remote and unmanageable workings of the community. They were told to preserve the impression that the British Government was still calling the shots - rather than an unelected body of foreign politicians - and that the ruse would last "for this century at least" - by which time Britain would be so completely chained to Brussels it would be impossible to leave.
Document FCO30/1048 which has now been de-classified under the 30-year rule, still shocks and angers Brexiteers.
Annabelle Sanders, a Brexit expert and former advisor to Nigel Farage, said: "Despite all the claims from politicians of many parties that the EU was not about becoming a central state, this 1971 document shows that is exactly what the plan was. "Arch Remoaners from Labour, Lib Dems and Tories need to check this out and then ask themselves why they want to be MP's if they don't actually want Westminster to be in charge of this country? "
"We voted to leave. What we need now is a proper clean break from Brussels so we can once again become a soveriegn nation with money being spent in this country on services we need, and have Parliament and the courts making and ruling on the laws."
The writer and journalist Christopher Booker, one of the founders of the satirical magazine, Private Eye, said: "Here was a civil servant advising that our politicians should connive in concealing what Heath was letting us in for, not least in hiding the extent to which Britain would no longer be a democratic country but one essentially governed by unelected and unaccountable officials".
"One way of creating an illusion that this was still democratic, this anonymous mandarin suggested, would be to give people the chance to vote for representatives at European Regional and Local levels.
"A few years later we saw the creation of an elected European Parliament, as we see today, a craze for introducing elected mayors, as meaningless local figureheads."
The Pro-Europe Sir Edward Heath, was leader of the Conservative Party from 1965 to 1975.**
He died in 2005.
Well, there we have it. Conniving Bstrds!! It looks as though even 40 odd years later, many of our politicians continue to be puppets Well, it's not too late to leave, and the sooner the better. I truly believe that if there is any politician or civil servant still alive today and who played any part in this deceit, they should be brought forward and questioned at a Public Enquiry. How many of these treacherous fools are sitting on their backsides in the House of Lords!!
At least now we know why this secret paper was locked away for 30 years, and no wonder that creep, Tony Bliar, redefined the Treason Act!!
They should be hauled up for Treason, no less.
I wonder if those two EU lovers, Bliar or Clegg would be willing to discuss the above on tv or radio????
What say you?
