Prohibition Conference goes ahead despite covert attempts to prohibit

 

"Attempts by Big Pharma and taxpayer funded groups to block freedom of speech will not work", said Godfrey Bloom MEP today on the eve of the first World Conference on Prohibition. "The truth will out".

 

Mr Bloom the host of the Conference now renamed 'Thinking is forbidden', was speaking as scientists, economists and social commentators from around the world were converging on Brussels for the event.

 

"We have been concentrating on some of the bad science around the smoking ban on this occasion", he said, "but the plan is to highlight the use of such tactics against a host of lifestyle issues at future events".

 

The Conference had initially been planned to take place in the European Parliament, under the auspices of Mr Bloom and TICAP (The International Coalition Against Prohibition). But after a mass lobbying campaign by Smoke Free Europe and the European Public Health Alliance, two bodies largely funded by taxpayer handouts and big pharmaceutical firms (who wish to sell 'quit smoking' products) the Bureau of the Parliament in closed session decided to ban the Conference.

 

"That the subject was not on the agenda, not in the meeting notes and the decision was taken in camera speaks volumes", said Mr Bloom. "The fact that they didn't have the courtesy to inform me for well over a week, making it nigh on impossible to re-organise even more so".

 

These well funded people are frightened of free speech and differing points of view, they make false claims and allegations to bully and denigrate. They claim that having differing opinions aired, 'undermines the dignity of the Parliament'. Pull the other one. They are a bunch of control freaks whose only pleasure in life is to disrupt another's pleasure. Well I have got news for them. You cannot win when there are still people prepared to make a stand against you"

 

Notes

The Conference is now taking place at the Berlaymont Silken Hotel,
27th 28TH January. Details can be found here

Press Release: The new unemployment statistics across Europe will come as no surprise.  However there is significant danger in them for certain EU members states.

 

In Spain for example the figures are rising through 18%.  Competition for even the most menial jobs is fierce.  Greece and Italy are hurting although the social unrest in Greece is at the moment being hushed up.  Watch for the signs in Madrid and Rome.

 

Devaluation of the currency is not an option, the Eurozone nation states have lost control of their financial policy.  EMU stands for Even More Unemployment.  The end of the euro is nigh.

Press Release: Plans to regulate sea angling come under fire
 
New rules from Brussels are putting the economies of seaside towns in Yorkshire in danger.
 
Plans to make recreational anglers sign up to the same high tech surveillance used by commercial fishing vessels would devastate the activity enjoyed by 1.4 million Britons every year.
  
The move is opposed by UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom who today urged people to sign up to an online petition to urge the Fisheries Minister to protect Britain's interests when the plans are discussed in Brussels.
 
"Fish stocks are not suffering because of recreational anglers and quotas would be completely unenforceable" said Mr Bloom. Read More

Press Release for EU response (for Gawain)

Estimating growth is always difficult short or long term, however the EU record is pretty dismal.  Even a broken clock is right twice a day.  So far, correct forecasts they have made are zero.  Or nil point as they would say of us at the song for Europe.  What is more worrying is their failure to understand basic economics.  As Winston Churchill aptly put it, a government trying to tax and spend its way out of trouble is like a man trying to lift himself up by the handle of a bucket in which he is standing.

 A demonstration of commitment might be a serious effort to cut back the bloated public sector in Europe’s economies, rife with non-jobs, and set the people free with a low tax and low regulation environment.

To the Yorkshire Post

Dear Sir

If I may respond to Richard Corbett’s piece reopening the debate on British membership of the Euro I feel I need to remind everyone that we have already had a ‘dry run’.  It was the exchange rate mechanism, or ERM, remember that?  We tried to bind the pound to the deutschmark.  Bolting one economy’s currency to another simply makes no economic sense, it did not work for us anymore than it worked when Argentina did the same to the US dollar.  The riots in Athens at the moment are a direct result of this ill advised policy.  Expect the same soon in Rome and Madrid. 

The Euro is already failing.
