Is it Ten Minutes to Midnight
for Britannia?

Q & A time with Campaign for Truth founder Phillip Day

ECLUB: In previous EClubs you've dealt with the European Union vitamin and herbal issue. But the vitamin issue is just one example of how the new European superstate is muscling in on citizens' freedoms. You see Britain leaving the EU as a means of solving a number of this country's problems simultaneously, don't you?

PHILLIP DAY: Yes. For many this seems extreme but it actually isn't. It's a question of what we've been used to hearing. Norway and Switzerland are two examples of countries who remain outside the EU and are doing well. Britain's Marxists hate that. The vast majority of British want their country to be self-governing and independent but are rarely given press time. None of the three main political parties is committed to freeing Britain from the EU because 'Europe' represents communistic big government and the politician's gravy train for the future. The EU guarantees people like Neil Kinnock and Peter Mandelson will never have to get a real job.

ECLUB: Communistic?

PHILLIP DAY: Call it for what it is. The EU represents modern communism, or socialism - it's the same thing. Britain is experiencing a slow-motion coup d'etat by an old enemy. 1 in 5 today is employed by the state and earns the country nothing while the remaining 80% fund this takeover in a highly regulated environment. The shiny-reared, non-productive 20% - a small percentage of which are actually needed to run the country - are intent on keeping their snouts in the trough. They draft self-protective legislation and sit on quangos most have never heard of in order to protect their interests and bring 'change' to Britain. 'Change' means foreign rule and is sold as progressive and a good thing. Your loopy-eyed radicals of the 1970s student's movement are now running the country. Sure they have shorter hair but their politics haven't changed. They are the same lunatics who loathe empire yet are ushering in a far more dangerous version of it. The British people whine and don't do anything. They moan about losing Britannia off their 50p coins but in fact lost far more decades ago to the Common Market. Some are grabbing the first thing that comes along like David Cameron in the belief he'll roll the treason back. As the Duke of Wellington said, 'If you believe that you'll believe anything.' Cameron is a bought and paid-for member of the shiny-reared élite. Like that other example of political idiocy, Archbishop Rowan Williams, he's an apologist for Britain's moral destruction. Hard feelings aside, it's an impressive invasion. One from within. Limit the choice of parties and vilify the ones who oppose you. Own the press. Lie to the public and steal their money. Trotsky would have been proud.

ECLUB: You've just returned from Ireland. How do you see things over there?

PHILLIP DAY: The EU honeymoon is over and the Irish are awakening to some harsh realities. As they watch billions invested into their infrastructure - new motorways, sewage works, business parks and flyovers with blue signs saying it's from the EU- unease now assails at the Faustian pact they signed with the Devil. Like Britain, their sovereignty is gone. Like Britain, they have lost 100% control over their economy, environment, immigration, agriculture, fishing and trade. They are now a province in a vast new superstate wherein their culture is marginalised and their vote doesn't mean zip. I do sympathise because like the Brits the Irish are a proud people and I hate to see this happen. Only a major revolution in political mores will see the situation corrected and I doubt that will happen. Perhaps the IRA will switch targets?

ECLUB: So, we're getting the future we deserve.

PHILLIP DAY: Unfortunately. Across Europe, the poor countries are being dragged up to the status of rich countries and the rich countries are being brought down to the mean. Communism. If this is all such a great idea, why don't they put it to the popular vote? Why all this sneaking around in the bushes saying Lisbon's not a constitution when it is?

ECLUB: Coup d'état.

PHILLIP DAY: Along with a new brand of politico with skin as thick as a rhino's, who possesses an overriding contempt for the citizen. There was a time when being a public official was a commendable thing. You were looked up to and people took you at your word. Today, a politician can do and say absolutely anything with little accountability, even plunder the public purse like Derek Conway and see nothing wrong in it. The only crime is being caught. Tony Blair gave his word Britain would have a referendum on the EU constitution, yet today we know the truth of that promise. Soon, we might have him back as the first EU president, won't that be exciting? The EU is the natural home for such a man. The liberal intelligentsia will flutter their bosom at such a handsome, engaging Caesar and after that honeymoon ceases, expect the screws to be turned. You are now being ruled by people you cannot sack, who probably don't even speak your language, let alone give a damn what you think. No going back now short of war. The newest superpower won't be shy about flexing its new super-muscles. It hates America, can't bear democracy, and thinks Honour was a Bond girl in the Sixties. Worst of all? No sense of humour.

ECLUB: Where can people find out more?

PHILLIP DAY: I've done a documentary which can be viewed at http://credence.org/videos.htm, entitled The Real Face of the European Union. Also my book, Ten Minutes to Midnight, will walk the reader through the invasion and what they can do about it.

ECLUB: Will you be fleeing into political exile?

PHILLIP DAY: Why bother? I've made every list except Best Dressed.
