Brok puts EU 'on road to war'

Thursday, 22nd October 2009

UKIP Deputy Leader David Campbell Bannerman has slammed the development of a European diplomatic service in a hardhitting speech the the EU this week.

Speaking on Wednesday, the Eastern Counties MEP said:

"This Brok Report is positive proof of the emergence of a single European superstate. The wicked Lisbon Constitution already forces an unelected President and Foreign Minister on us all.

"Now this report adds a new European diplomatic service - the 'European External Action Service'. But embassies represent national interests, so what national interest will these new EU diplomats and embassies represent?

"It won't be those of our nation states, our trade or our companies,  it will be that of the European Commission.

"All other national embassies will become redundant ! Already British embassies around the world are selling off properties.

"This 'masterplan' for an EU superstate is built on foundations of deceipt, dishonesty and denial. But what federalists are creating is not a new United States of America, they are creating a new Yugoslavia.

"By forcing together very different nations, cultures and economies under a rigid, undemocratic, Soviet style bureaucracy you are entering very dangerous waters indeed.

"I worked for the British Government on the Northern Ireland Peace Process.  I saw what happened when democracy fails. It is not pretty. But now I see democracy failing here in Europe.

"You profess to love peace, but by railroading through Lisbon and by this power grab of our embassies, you are putting Europe firmly on the road to war once again."
