EU Mad map to leave Britain in bits
2006-09-04
GERMANY is plotting to wipe Britain off the map in their revived bid to create an EU superstate.

They want the 25 member states to scrap their national boundaries so England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland cease to exist.

They would be split up and merged with other countries to form new “trans-national” EU regions.

Kent and East Sussex would join northern France as part of a new land called “TransManche”. Most of England and Scotland would be lumped with parts of Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium and Holland as the North Sea region. Western England would be in the Atlantic region with chunks of France. Wales and Ireland would become Ireland-Wales, while north-west Scotland would be in the “Northern Periphery”.

The masterplan will be put into action when Germany takes over the EU presidency in January and tries to revive the rejected EU constitution. German minister Wolfgang Tiefensee said: “There is the great hope underlying the goal of a United Europe that we can overcome old borders.”

#16  I find this hard to believe, but I can't put anything past the lunancy that is the EU.

#13  How 'bout we throw Mexico out of NAFTA and invite Britain to take it's place. Change the acronym to 'North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement'.

#12  Unfortunately I think you'll find some leftwing Scots and Welsh would buy this in a flash.

#11  I find this alleged plan difficult to believe...

In any case, the United Kingdom would just have to leave the EU to avoid this mad 'plan'...

#10  Somehow the EUnics missed the part about the collapse of the Soviet Empire into, god forbid, little nation states! That is the natural order of things for that part of the world.

#9  This, with the mass immigration and conversion to Eurabia will pretty much realize Hitler's dream wouldn't it?

Hitler's will is available on the net (at least in french, so I figure english is a certainty); somewhere in it, old adolf wish that in the future (for him), the third world, which has been corrupted by the decadence of the West, would purge itself, rise up and finish what he couldn't do, IE destroy western civilization.

So, in that regard, you're absolutely right. If the driving force behind the twin nazi and communist ideologies of the 20th century was the european death-drive and death-wish, then what's happening is nothing but a new avatar of it; it's just that instead of self-destructing, Europe is outsourcing the deed to its archennemy islam, the carrion of dead civilizations and empires.

#4  It doesn't make any sense.
Who takes the presidency after Germany ? The North Almadade Plateau ? The West Mediterranian Watershed ? What bullshit.

#3  Oh yeah, like that's going to work. The EU constitution has a much better chance, and look how far that got in the first round.

#2  Dear God... how did Europe come to such foolishness?

#1  Promoting regionalism has long been a tool of the EU to further dissolve the national entities formerly known as "Nation-Sates", with Germany pushing the most for it (JFM will tell you this much better than me); ironically, this leads us back to the 1920's socialists, and subsequently to the "european map" dreamed by... you guessed it, nazi Germany!
The "Europe of regions" as opposed to the "Europe of Nations".

Thus, national sovereignty and identities are dissolved top-down with that, and down-top with reckless immigration (re the Canary situation described elsewhere, one has to keep in mind the official immigration policy of the EU is that it will need a massive wave of "fresh blood" to make up for its aging population and dwindling social model, hence the mass immigration and the programmed entry of turkey into the EU; immigration policies are now decided at Brussels, not in national parliament, which don't have much power left at all anyway, and keeping the flow away is NOT an option).
