BOSSES' MEDIA AVOID FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS

On the day of the launch of the NO2EU - YES to Democracy Euro election campaign the BBC News service carried stories including Baby P's mother's statement of remorse prior to sentencing and Ranulph Fiennes' admittedly heroic ascent of Everest at the age of 65.

Both were stories of public interest, but hardly the status of life changing potential, unlike a resolute campaign to take Britain out of the European Union and return power to the people, to pursue policies in the interests of the many and not the few, as has been the case since Heath signed the Treaty of Accession on 1st January 1973 and the subsequent fateful media inspired referendum decision of summer 1975.

Neither was the launch carried on Channel 4 News, but there was plenty of hot air expended on nonentity MPs fleecing the people of their hard earned taxes.

This feeding frenzy is reminiscent of the tabloid fuelled outrage about Goodwin's pension when the Treasury was busy shovelling £1.3 trillion into bank coffers without a squeak from Britain's fearless, campaigning yellow press.

Now we are threatened by the provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon and the recent anti-worker judgements handed down by the European Court of Justice, so called.

Yet the media which has never publicised the real remit of "The European Project" is prepared to promote fascist and ultra-right wing organisations such as the British National Party and UKIP, instead of warning against the inexorable crawl towards a transnational-corporate-business directed United Federal States of Europe.

At its inception the EU was called the European Coal and Steel Community and through its later incarnations as the European Economic Community and the European Union it has always been the driver of privatisation of publicly owned businesses, services and utilities; the free movement of goods, services and people - or in every day parlance, the undermining of negotiated wages and conditions; so called social legislation which always came with the caveat of opt outs, which successive British Governments have always implemented.

During this time we have witnessed the privatisations of British Steel, British Coal, British Shipbuilding, British Telecom, British Nuclear Fuels, British Gas, Electricity Generation and Distribution, British Rail, publicly owned Water Companies and Bus Companies, Postal Services and coming soon the Royal Mail, the Royal Mint, the Land Registry, Armed Services Training, the National Health Service and Social Services for the elderly and the vulnerable.

Every one them demanded by one European Union Directive after another, the most vindictive being the Bolkestein Directive named after some little known European right wing politician.

While all this was taking place our "honourable major political parties" never once told us the truth of the matter, never once raised a hand to prevent this barefaced robbery of publicly owned assets and never once uttered a challenge about the increased prices and reduced services which followed their blind adherence to the "European Project."

In this scandalous dereliction of duty, the main-stream parties were aided and abetted by every branch of the British media who are now complicit in the millionaire rip-off of the decent taxpayers and citizens of our country.

On June the 4th we have the opportunity to sweep aside this grasping political elite and their gluttonous, profiteering, privateer allies in business, commerce and the media, by voting for the only socialist organisation calling for British withdrawal from the corrupt "Bosses club of Europe" - NO2EU - YES to Democracy.
