DECEIT, DISSEMBLING AND DELAY

Deceit, dissembling and delay

Was how the EU got its way.

The style by which it stealthily made

Its move to political power from trade.

 

I remember well how they dismissed doubt

Of just what they were really about,

All that well staged fol de rol...

Changing Interpol to Europol

 

And do you remember how they called us barmy

When we said they planned an EU Army?

You do not need the perception of Plato

To know that role is held by NATO.

 

And now we witness place man Juncker

Like a drunk who's even drunker,

Proclaiming that now lies ahead

(I'm so glad we've left the easily led).

 

Those surrendering Germans of World War Two

Who acted as if they really knew

They'd won when it seemed that they'd lost,

Were determined to boss - and not be bossed.

 

In peace - and in war - their plans were made,

But it's all a very long way from "trade"!

JC and Harry - always appreciate your considered (and
considerate) comments. To disagree is merely a
divergence of understanding.

M.C.
Having listened again to the new chancellor`s Utube post Brexit vote interviews on the internet again tonight I am quite benign about the future now. (It`s still there on the internet)

And bearing in mind how past European armies spent most of their time slaughtering each other and leaving millions of family histories of death and destruction over the last century or so -not to mention civilian deaths from bombing- (So many millions and millions of us facing death!) I am also quite benign about all us European soldiers being on the same side...and do we really want to keep relying on the yanks...for ever?

So - like John - I`m enjoying all of this ?

Hello MC.
You know we disagree fundamentally over the EU but it doesn't prevent me from enjoying this.

Thanks for your views, gents.
I recall a letter to the DT from someone with a recollection
in Military Intelligence work after WW2 which had a senior
surrendering German officer smugly convinced that all was
certainly not lost. Like the view in von Clausewitz's
famous Prussian military tome "On War", it had the ring of
"What cannot be won in war must be won in the peace."
Time has certainly seen his confidence vindicated.
