The French Connection

 Marine Le Pen

I voted to stay out of the EU in 1972

The majority of yesterday's blog readers were in France.

I share a lot of the views of Marine Le Pen, that doesn't mean I am right-wing, it means she makes sense to me.

The EU has proved to be what I said it would be in 1972, a free bank to support Germany, after successive governments failed to clear their defecits. The German press admit, they are in so much debt, there is little chance they can clear it.

I don't care who is in power, I am against nuclear power, it has not proved safe, incidents such as Windscale, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima prove this to be true. These we know of because they made the news, how many smaller accidents slipped through because they didn't make the news, or were covered up? Years age, when I listened to short-wave-radio broadcasts, I heard about an accident which happened outside Kyiv. Two trains carrying nuclear waste collided. How can anything which has a half-life of thousands of years be classed as safe?

N.A.T.O. is ineffective.

There are no Royal Air Force bases in Europe. Outside the UK, the nearest RAF base is in Cyprus, and that is only a supply depot.

I can't say I voted for Brexit, as I voted to stay out of the EEC (as it was in 1972), back then, the President of France, Charles DeGaulle told the UK government to stay out

Vive Le France

                Readers in the EU

The blog is now making in-roads into the EU, with readers in France today.

I support Marine Le Pen's views, countries need to leave the EU, it is no more than a way for Germany to sustain the country after decades of bad business deals.

It may appear odd to pull out of NATO, but the treat from Russia has not been there since the late 70's, when the USA pulled out. With the news from the Ukraine, the last thing on the minds of the Russians is another futile war.

If there was a war in Europe, there is no way we could halt it; the nearest bases are in Cyprus. The UK has more active Royal Air Force bases in the South Atlantic that it does in the UK these days.

In the late 60's, Germany laughed when the US began pulling out of the UK; they weren't so happy in the 80's when NATO pulled out of Germany. There is a large difference in the structures of the bases; the ones in the UK were built where villages had been for centuries, so the USAAF enhanced the finances. Most of the bases in Germany were built in the 60's when the threat from Russia was real, but the surrounding economy had not been there before, when NATO pulled out, many of the smaller villages went into decline, to save the airfields, they were sold to minor airlines.

Being a Nationalist does not mean you are Communist, it means you care for your country.

I am, and have always been, anti-nuclear, nobody can tell me the waste will ever be safe. Many of the elements have a half-live going into thousands of years, that means half of it (could be) safe by then, but that of the other half?
