Ireland's peril is our peril too

Last week, top Eurocrat Herman Van Rompuy declared the EU's intention to end national self-determination.  "The time of the homogeneous nation state" he declared "is over." 

Today, as EU officials seek to bounce Ireland into direct economic rule, we can see how deadly serious the Eurocrat elite are.  There is no need for Ireland to accept a bail out at this time - and yet the EU elite deliberately talk up the prospect in order to strengthen their control.

If Ireland does accept an EU bailout, ninety something years of Irish independence will be snuffed out.  It won't just be Ireland's low rates of corporation tax that will go.  So too will the ability of Ireland to freely elect a government that taxes and spends in accordance with what the Irish people want.

Britain should rally to Ireland's side.  We should do all we can to safeguard Irish freedom to remain outside Van Rompuy's nightmare system of pan-EU economic government. 

Rather than bailing out the Euro, Britain should help Ireland bail out of the Euro.
