EU to wipe out Britain.
Yes, the EU is about to wipe Britain off the map - literally.
Amongst some new "special powers" which it is about to award itself, the EU will have the ability to modify maps, boundaries, even names of regions and places, and force all others to do the same. One of the things they have lined-up for imminent execution under these new powers is as follows -
Kent and Sussex would be officially classified as part of north-east France, while much of England and eastern Scotland would be grouped with parts of Scandinavia, the western side of Britain would be lumped in with the Atlantic coast of France, northern Spain and Portugal, and the far north of Scotland with Iceland and northern Norway and Sweden.
I really don't know what to say to this kind of thing. It infuriates me so much. Apart from being in roughly the same geographical area as 'mainland Europe', we have nothing in common with them. Our style of government is different, society is VERY different, people are different, television and entertainment are different, businesses and attitudes to them are completely different, and generally lifestyles are far from similar. The EU should be about trade-links and support, not any of this rubbish. The whole situation is demeaning. Britain is being raped by Brussels, with Blair and his buddies pinning her down.
It all saddens me, it really does. How can we let this happen to our beautiful nation? And why did all those men die in vain? We stopped Hitler doing it by force, but are now letting them do it "democratically". :'(

This clearly isn't just an English problem, but is something that the Welsh, Scots, and Irish need to get involved in as well. If they love their countries as much as they say, then hopefully it won't be difficult to garner support.

This would be a great story if it were true. However, it’s yet another euro-myth. Despite it appearing in The Sun, The Telegraph and The Mail as hard fact (even accompanied by editorials denouncing this evil German Plot and headlines such as The Wolf at the Door, Britain to be wiped off the map etc.) it has no basis in reality.
The origin seems to be a press release from the Conservative Party which mentions a Directive "establishing an infrastructure for spatial information in the Community” which it claims “will forcibly harmonise all maps and geographical information”. It then jumps to “Not only that, but the EU, with John Prescott's help, is trying to establish regions that cross national boundaries, in order to work towards "a United Europe".
What’s the connection between this spatial information Directive and John Prescott or a plan to scrap national borders? I don’t know, I didn’t write this stuff.
What is this Directive about? Scrapping national borders? Redrawing maps? Wiping out Britain? Alas, no. It’s about the less exciting subject of harmonising databases so that information on the effect of human activity on the environment can be shared.
How does this morph into ‘EU Plots to scrap nation States’? Again, your guess is as good as mine.
You’re welcome to read the Directive if you can stay awake long enough. In fact you can follow the entire history of this Directive from 2004 up to date, because, far from being some secret EU conspiracy, it has all been published on the internet. In fact, there is an entire website devoted to it and it has been the subject of a public consultation on the internet, a public hearing, has had a first reading in the European Parliament, been back to the Commission, back to the EP etc. There are newsletters, working groups and many other secret goings-on:

Where the German conspirators come into any of this I don’t know.

Fair enough... But I think the point as a whole, of the EU (or at least many of those who support it) attempting to Federalise the member states, is still a rather shocking one.
Admittedly it may not be a short-term - or realistic - plan, but one can surely not deny that it is not one of the ultimate aims of those in power.

Tabloids making up stories by twisting facts to get people all worked up about practically nothing (well The Daily Mail readers are in a perpetual state of mad anxiety anyway but...) for the sake of shocking headlines?
That never happens!
