GP Taylor: Referendum and dumber as dark forces hold sway

I AM not a great fan of Dan Brown novels, but the last week in politics is beginning to make me feel that we are all being duped by a great British conspiracy that no one would ever believe if it were written in a book.

Dark forces of a shadow government with a dedicated agenda to a European super- state appear to be using our own Prime Minister as a puppet.

Before you ask, no, I have not been reading anything on conspiracies by David Icke, but strangely everything that has recently happened was predicted by him many years ago.

It is not too hard to believe that those with vested financial interests are working behind the scenes. They are willing to take any steps necessary to get what they want.

After all, the EU even has its claws in some of our most famous charities. The NSPCC, Action Aid and Oxfam shared 43 million euros in a single year. No wonder that they come out in favour of staying in.

So scared are the people behind the power, that they will stop at nothing to try to influence the British people to vote in the way they want us to and not what is right for the country.

It was the banker Rothschild who famously said: “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws.”

It is even believed that one banking family initiated the Wall Street Crash so that it could buy up businesses and property on the cheap during the slump. It is therefore not unreasonable to think that these same institutions and people are willing to coerce politicians to do their bidding.

With hindsight, isn’t it rather suspicious that David Cameron, our Prime Minister, wrote to the then European Council president Herman van Rompuy in 2013 to lobby that a Brussels drive to reveal the beneficiaries of offshore companies “may well not be appropriate” for offshore trusts?

These are the words of a man who said he wanted offshore tax havens stopped and then it is revealed that his own father was using one which the Prime Minster eventually and after many days admits he benefitted from.

If Cameron is prepared to lobby for financiers in this way, then surely it is reasonable to believe that he would not hesitate in doing so over the EU referendum?

To me, a referendum is a vote by the electorate on a single political question which has been referred to them for a direct decision. I expected that both sides of the argument would be put fairly and without bias.

From the start, nothing could be further from the truth. The BBC was enlisted in “Project Fear” to scare the voter into opting to remain.

Now, David Cameron believes it to be reasonable to spend nearly £10m of public money producing a brochure telling us of the benefits of staying in the EU.

From what I have seen, the document appears to be glossy propaganda written on behalf of big business who seem to fear they would lose the financial benefits of being on the EU gravy train.

How can it be morally right for the Government of this country to try to influence the electorate in one way or another? It would be equally corrupt if it had extolled the virtues of leaving. Elections have to be fair and all monies spent accounted for. Cameron seems to think it is right to subsidise the Remain campaign.

This is a total disregard of democracy as well as an outrageous waste of public money that could be spent on the NHS and education.

I have to ask what powers are whispering in his ear as he attempts to fix the referendum in their favour? Why won’t Cameron appear before the Liaison Committee and answer questions on the use of public funds?

The sad thing is that even if the country does vote for Brexit there is no certainty that we would leave anyway.

Only last week the Dutch people overwhelmingly rejected the idea of Ukraine joining the EU. Germany’s Angela Merkel said the Dutch “no” vote will be “managed as we have managed other difficult issues before”. In other words, it will be ignored.

EU President Jean-Claude Juncker has refused to rule out forcing the Dutch people to accept Ukraine regardless of the democratic vote.

Ireland was forced to vote again in its EU referendum. The outcome did not suit the unelected masters in Brussels. Like Ireland, if we vote to leave I am sure we will be made to vote again and again until the EU gets the result that it wants.

It is obvious that the referendum is becoming a farce as the EU cares not one jot for democracy and neither does David Cameron.
