Toleration is not living peaceably with our neighbours because we agree about everything. Toleration is living peaceably with our neighbours even when we disagree with them.
Via Trixy we learn that Independence Home here was launched today by two UK Independence Party members to discuss not just UKIP's hopes for Britain's freedom from the European Union, but also to publicize and discuss the party's other policies. True to form it's already got substantial, meaty political reportage and commentary: hard-hitting and full of facts - unlike the copy-and-paste press handouts that typify so much of the mainsteam (and usually pro-EU) media. Very well worth a visit, even without considering the dismal alternatives.
The European Union: how did we get here from the European Economic Community? What is it doing to our country’s traditional freedoms? Where is it heading – and taking us with it? If you’re concerned about Britain in Europe, here’s the low-down on the high-ups, and here are links to people who discuss vive la difference with savoir-faire: sage folk who know their onions about who is stuffing what into where…
European blogs that scrutinise the EU's activities are here.

Better Off Out. Freedom Association campaign to withdraw the UK from the European Union. No messing. Straight campaign; full of facts and information about our European partners and why the Freedom Association thinks that our ways should part. Its site is here.
The Irish people held a referendum on whether to agree to the Lisbon Treaty. They voted against it. Someone else thinks that they got it wrong, and they're going to give them a chance to get it right. If you feel strongly enough about it, there's a petition to ask their President to treat a second vote as unconstitutional or undemocratic. The petition is here.
This blog exists to gather together in one place information about people and organisations that are working to preserve what is good in Britain against mistaken or malicious attempts to change it.
It is non-partisan and welcomes information, contributions, advice, help and volunteers from all backgrounds and all parts of the political spectrum as well as those who are not interested in politics at all.
It seeks to inform and encourage those of us who wish to live peaceably alongside our neighbours and to be treated equally under the law; secure in our freedom of speech and conscience, and with our property, privacy and lives protected by legitimate authority and government and not threatened by them.
