Ireland Votes for Freedom - Irish People Say No to Lisbon Treaty


A single flag of freedom still flutters over Europe and it is the Irish tricolour. The decision of the Irish people to thumb their noses at the bully-boy tactics of the European Union is an example to freedom loving people everywhere.

Effectively, this is the third time that the EU constitution, in its various guises, has been rejected. The 'Treaty' rejected by the Irish lovers of liberty is reputedly not that different from constitution rejected by the French and the Dutch. The European Union is not just undemocratic it is anti democratic and the people who get the chance to have their say reject it as a tyranny that has been allowed to go much too far.

While the EuroElite panics and tries to think of ways to force the people of our continent into a state of total subservience, European liberty, thanks to the Irish, is given a temporary stay of execution. The Irish have given us all a chance to come to our senses and stop this bureaucratic juggernaut from going any further, before it is too late.

I attended a demonstration outside parliament that was calling for a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. The turnout, for a country of around 60 million people, was truly pathetic. It was as if the British people did not care what their political overlords did. Many in Britain would vote against the Lisbon Treaty if they were given the chance. However, the Government will not do the right thing because they know that the people do not have the determination to demand that it does so. I do not think that a large enough proportion of the British people have the courage or the will to move their attention away from their hedonism and decadence, even to raise the faintest murmur.

It seems that the British are a broken and demoralised people who lack the foresight to stand up for their own freedom because they want somebody else to do it for them. It would appear that unless they change their ways then they will soon be taking that inevitable walk down the road to slavery and humiliation. It is truly pitiful and, speaking as an Englishman, an embarrassment.

Thank goodness for the Irish who still have the ability to say that word that seems so difficult to British vocal-boxes when faced with creeping tyranny - that difficult to pronounce word is 'No!'. I have resolved to fly the Irish tricolour over my garden for the remainder of this month. I do this as a way of honouring the Irish people for their necessary decision and as a way to demonstrate the embarrassment that I feel about the state of my own country.

I would urge others around Europe to fly the Irish flag as a flag of defiance against those who seek to deprive us of our rights and enslave us. Europeans should do this to send a message to their own governments that the tyranny of the European Union will never be tolerated. It is time for freedom loving people across Europe to stand up and shout the word 'No!' at the EU.

As an Irishman who campaigned and hoped for a No vote last week, thank you for your solidarity.
