The Inner Core EU Have Become Like the Old Untouchables in the Palace of Versailles.


The EU could have been a good idea, but with no electoral control over the inner core, we – the people can’t punish such un-elected rulers via the ballot box. This has resulted in a hijacking of a glorious project. Ruined by liberal socialists who spout their cheaply acquired nobility. Unaccountable people who impose (what they decide) is good for us. No arguments, no discussion. If you do get a vote and reject anything. You are blackmailed and forced to vote again.

The majority of UK people voted to leave the EU and an even bigger majority of the nation accept the result. Business must fund itself or perish. Some of our smaller industries can't get up to run because of the EU red tape that binds them. There are consequences of staying in and there are challenges of coming out. We have heard all of this before we voted. Many decided that staying in the EU, and having no electoral control over a second and higher tier of unelected rulers, far more troublesome than being independent. Independent and with electoral control seems safer despite the efforts of economic fear mongering. We do not want to be ruled by business people and economists. We’ve had too much of that and they have not always been right.

The people must have a choice, not a boardroom committee. They become disengaged with us (the people) and impose what they decide it right. We can see the problems of this governing apparatus much more nowadays. It will have to change and adapt or things will get worse for Europe because of the EU.

For decades now, mass migration on a level of gross irresponsibility has been easily splattered as racism. It has been tossed aside as something dirty and not worthy of attention. It has been conveniently dismissed for years with a batch of unsavoury labels to hang on anyone who dares to mention the subject. These Liberal elitists think they should have a free pass on immigration. They no longer think rank and file workers, who must make up a huge majority of the European population, should have any say concerning the mass movement of people.


The un-elected inner governing core of the EU have become like the untouchables in Palace of Versailles. How long before more nations rebel? How long before some brave soul within the EU acknowledges that a union must belong to the people and the EU is subservient to an electorate? How long before inner core EU politicians engage with an electorate whose concerns and fears must be acted upon in order to be elected to a high level of responsibility?

Get Your Head Down and Do It. (Spring is Here in the Fenland)

Working through Newton on the Isle
Today was a very fine day indeed. It was one of those days that looked as though it might be difficult, but it turned out splendid - very good indeed.

As I sat in the canteen room before going out on our refuse clearing round, I got the news that my lorry driver (Alex) was off and also my bin loading companion (Dave.)

We got another driver to fill in for Alex. He was a retired worker called Dave (Another Dave.) He comes in now and then to help out. I've worked with him before and he comes from East London like me. We always have a lot to talk about, especially when East London is concerned. The next piece of news was not so good. Our governor told us that he could not get another loader so we had to approach the round with just a two man crew instead of a three man workforce. 

It is the first week of the summer rounds and all the work changes to fall in line with summer hours. Therefore, Dave and I were going out on a new round without prior knowledge of it. This is the first time for the rest of the summer round.

The weather was great and we decided to do the best we could on garden waste clearing. Our round took us out into the sticks amid all the farms and into two smashing villages. One was called Newton and the other was Tydd St Giles right on the border of Lincolnshire.

As we went about the round we found we were getting along with the work splendidly. The day was wonderful and the work was great. When the sun is shinning and I'm out in it, the work time seems to zoom by. We got into the villages very rapidly and by the afternoon we were well into the last village. We heard another smaller bin lorry driver call us over the radio - a troubleshooter vehicle that went where needed.

We managed to finish with time to spare. On the way back Dave and I were laughing on how smoothly it all went. Then we got onto topics pie mash with liqueur sauce, Jellied eels, cockles, crayfish and all. A great day because we got our heads down and got on with the job.

Driving about the Fens on a fine day is a great way of working
