Ursula von de Leyens Pledges

Here we go peeps.

Prepare to stick two fingers down your throat while you listen the rhetorical bollocks spoken by Mrs Unpopular ... Ursula von de Leyen at her Job Application speech in the EU Parliament.

Even though she is involved in a parliamentary investigation over alleged fraud and dodgy payments to Accenture and McKinsey, this hasn't bothered Brussels one bit, after all if Merkel says she is the one for the top job then so be it (even if she wasn't even on the ballot) !

(In fact looking at Lagardes recent appointment, fraud seems to be a prerequisite to being part of the front bench... who knows )

Anyway, here are some highlights

Climate neutral by 2050 with a 55% reduction in CO2 by 2030 under her new "green deal". Seems a tad ambitious considering the Fatherland tried it, failed at it and ended up using coal again in its power stations. Perhaps Dear Leader wasn't paying attention and busy plagiarising her speech (like she did her thesis for her doctorate, but that's another story).

Maybe she wants to lead by Denmarks example and go for the full on carbon neutral green deal they did and end up offshoring their industry, putting thousands of people out of work, while the countries they off-shored to (i.e. India) made money out of it and ended up being able to afford luxury items like air conditioning resulting in them pumping out tons of freon and other nasties into the air. What an epic win for Denmark ?

Maybe not.

Not only the Green Deal (where have I heard this before ... oh yes it's Alexadria Ocasia Cortez (not her real name) the democrat marxist nut case who wants to eliminate aeroplanes and build a bridge between Europe and the USA across the Atlantic... bless) complete with a new EU Climate Law, so expect fines galore to pump up the EU coffers !

Brilliant !

Dear Leader will spend EU 1 Trillion (yes - trillion euro) in the next 10 years to achieve the reduction in CO2 emissions ... all paid for by the member states. Well, by the net contributors anyway ... nice of her to ask ! (Does she know Germany are crap at battery cars and people are buying Nissans and Toyotas instead ?)

Some more highlights...

At 13:00 there is the EU Minimum Wage - this should put an even bigger increase in the EU average 14% unemployment rate ... oops !

Then at 13:50 there is the EU Unemployment Reassurance Scheme - she obviously knows what will happen when she rolls out the EU minimum wage

21:30 the EU Coastguard Agency and Common Asylum Policy. That should go down well with Sweden, France, Italy and Hungary ... not !

24:00 we get Dear Leader boo'd at for calling for "more foreign policy decisions by QMV" ... which means more Europe, less sovereignty and more power to the Dear Leader and her mafia henchmen (and women of course because she is a champion for equal pay in the EU Parliament)...

Oh joy !

link below if you can stomach the full 33 minutes of bile from the new Dear Leader.

No thanks Bread. I'm on the bandwagon of "We're outahere!"

The mere thought of watching that woman casually spending member states trillions of hard earned taxes on her madcap schemes as if she has a magic moneytree is sickening.
First she brings the mighty German Army to it's knees. Is the EU the next?

I might invest in shares in a broom handle company in preparation for the EU Army.

Hi

She is in no position to say she will allow an extension.

Firstly, we must ask for one.

Secondly it will be the EU Heads of State who make the decision.

You better win by a wider margin than lasts 52%!

Nigel farage is facing mockery after he claimed the new European Commission president lacked "legitimacy" because she won just 52 per cent of the vote.

Mr Farage said Ursula von der Leyen had "power but no legitimacy" after she scraped in by nine votes in a ballot in the European Parliament on Tuesday.

Critics were quick to point out that the incoming head of the EU executive won by the same margin as the Leave campaign during the 2016 EU referendum - when the result was 52 per cent to 48 per cent.

Correct. And it will the commission in it's present composition, with juncker as president that will decide on the request.

Nicely democratic then.

I hope your ready - the EU won't give a shit about your country or anyone elses. It only serves itself

So a decision made by heads of state who are determined by elections in their own country and have equitable representation on the commission is undemocratic?

They have also shown a common unity over the last three years that has been absent from our own politics

It seems that Farage has unwittingly exposed his own duplicity.

Channel 4 caught one of his new MEP’s being less than honest the other day
