Comments.


Housekeeping notice.
I am naturally uncomfortable about the moderation of comments here (the new .com site). I’m perfectly happy for people to disagree with me, I don’t mind if you want to call me an idiot – although I’d prefer it if you qualified the accusation.
Been having a few problems with spammy comments on here, you can stick your hair straighteners, webcams and sleeping aids where the sun shineth not. As a result, I’m engaging the least worst option on here. That being your first comment on here will be held for moderation – unless you do something completely overstepping the mark, it will be passed for publication. Once your first comment has been approved, your subsequent comments will be posted without the rigmarole. I don’t like it, but I’m already getting narked off with removing comments from spammers. If you want to advertise on here, feel free to drop me an email, I’m sure we can come to some mutually beneficial arrangement.
As for the old blogspot site which is acting purely as a mirror to guard against any unforseen tech issues – the comment capacity will now be disabled. Traffic for the two sites has now reached parity, and I’m expecting the .com site to get more traffic from here in. So if you’ve something to say please come and say it over at thesnowolf.com, more people will read it, the comments over at the old house will not be imported, and it will make me feel special.
Cheers old chaps and chapesses.

Awaiting moderation.

This lot:

Have a little blog. There's a rather entertaining article over there entitled:

Rationalising the Irrational: Explaining UK Euroscepticism

The title suggests that anyone who isn't keen on the good old EUSSR is likely to get short shrift.

But it does ask the question, I think, for the English falls apart at the end, if we want in or out.

Why not go and tell them?

I'm betting my comments, below, don't pass moderation.

“The national written press is particularly influential in Britain, compared with other EU states, and the internet has not yet changed this.”

I’ve news for you, the internet is even more hostile than the press towards the EU. Why? Because it gives a true reflection of public attitudes in the street.

It’s nothing to do with the war, nor is it to do with the Euro.

Why should any nation subsume itself to the EU? It is only partially true to say that the EU is painted as a body designed to undermine British sovereignty. It is a body that is designed to undermine the sovereignty of EVERY nation state within the EU, and, more importantly, the sovereignty of every citizen within those nation states.

The EU is unaccountable, anti-democratic, corrupt, arrogant and venal.

Against the free movement of goods, people and services I can brook no argument. But the machinery is worringly similar to the old USSR, and the attitudes of those in charge reflect those of the politburo. 
It is a deeply, deeply flawed project that will only end badly, for all concerned.

So, in a word; No.

I’d rather the UK was not a part of the EU, I’d rather the other nations weren’t a part of the EU, because they will be destroyed and it will be tragic.
