While remembering and thanking our brave D-Day heroes, we might also remember what they were fighting for

It should be enough just to recognise, remember and thank those brave men and women who fought, were wounded, died or survived the events which took place in northern France 70 years ago tomorrow. And for most of us it is enough. We owe a massive debt of gratitude to those brave people who were fighting not on the basis of some jumped-up excuse to justify our military intervention to protect our energy interests, but for the very survival of our - and their - way of life and our freedoms against the threat of National Socialism.

It is right, therefore, that we should salute these people 70 years on.

What is not right though, is that we should, at the same time as we remember and pay tribute to their achievements, be effectively giving away the freedoms for which they fought and died, to an unelected, left wing ('international socialist'?) government in the shape of the EU.

What is also not right is that we are standing idly by while this is happening and almost no-one from our modern government, establishment or media is prepared to say a word about it.

The EU's publicly stated vision to establish a 'Federal' Europe, is effectively a take-over of Europe, by Germany, just using the EU & Brussels as the flimsiest of disguises. And far from rising up again to fight for our freedoms against this socialist threat (for it - the EU - is most certainly a controlling, intervening, anti-free-speech, propaganda-led, shadowy and sinister socialist organisation), we're not even prepared to raise our voices in opposition. Indeed to do so is to be dismissed as being a racist little Englander.

 Do you not ever think (or 'realise' might be a better term) that we fought for the freedoms of all Europe's people? That the freedoms of people across the whole of Western Europe were effectively defended and delivered by the Allies after the last unpleasantness? We were fighting not just for 'Blighty' but for our friends the ordinary, lovely people who live all over Europe, against suppression and domination by the National Socialist thought-and-deed police.

These same 'thought-and-deed' police seem to be back with a vengeance right now in the 21st Century - a situation which is already causing the rise of extremism, conflict and protest across Europe as 'ordinary hard-working' people (if only) suffer as a direct result of centrist EU policies, rules and disastrous economic incompetence. 

We are in grave danger of being 'farmed', as people: We will have no freedoms before long: We'll just be automatons, trapped by debt and effectively forced into working for as much of our life-spans as possible before we 'cool'.

And at that future, but not-very-far-off date, when all this turns into reality across this continent of ours, it will give me no pleasure whatsoever to be proved right in this assessment. Because by then it will be way too fucking late for all of us and the seeds of the next global conflict will have been irrevocably sown by the process that is now being played out before our closed eyes.

As Albert Einstein said: I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
