British sovereigntists say European Union is a neo-fascist entity run by over 3,000 secret committees

Who really runs the European Union? If you think that the European Union is the democratic paradise presented by likes of BBC, ITV, or Euro News, you have made a sudden mistake. This was the question which Mr Ashley Mote, Independent MEP for South-East England, had attempted to answer in his address to an Anti-Common Market League's public meeting, held at St John's Church, Waterloo, on 21 July 2006.

During his two years as one of our elected representatives at Brussels, Mr Mote has discovered that the European Commission has set up some 3,000 secret committees which have infiltrated the European Parliament and departments of national governments. These committees have enormous influence, and our traditional form of government has been replaced by new and unseen forces, imposed upon us by deceit.

We see the effects of this in nearly every aspect of politics. At the relatively recent World Trade Organisation negotiations, Britain was not represented by one of its own Government ministers, but was simply included within the EU delegation, led by none other than Commissioner Peter Mandelson. Our own Civil Aviation Authority has been superseded by the European Air Safety Agency, based in Cologne. The European Defence Agency, the European Space Agency and the Galileo project are all going ahead.

The intentions behind the EU were always to leave national institutions in place while taking them over from within, so that they would do the bidding of Brussels and implement the policies of the EU without people realising what was happening.

When Greece was given grants for new olive groves, it was the Greek government and not an independent inspectorate which checked them; the same thing happened in Italy and other countries. This creates an institutional mindset for corruption which is embedded in the EU, and which has been imported into Britain over the last 30 years.

The EU, said Mr Mote, is an invention of the 1950s to solve the problems of the 1930s. If starting today, we would not invent anything remotely like the EU. It stifles enterprise, wealth creation and employment creation, and has more in common with the former USSR, than with the USA.

The corruption has spread into the processes of democracy itself. As we have seen on numerous occasions, the attitude is "if it's Yes, we carry on; if it's No, we carry on".
