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.
EU referendum blog.Thorough, informative, well-researched, non-partisan blog established to compel a referendum on EU treaties, it now covers in great detail (and I would say authoritativeness) all EU matters and especially how the EU effects our whole political life and related issues such as how the EU is now active in promoting global measures to deal with so-called man-made climate change. The Times and Telegraph of EU scrutineers.
Not a blog, but serious purveyors of educational materials about the EU... Civitas. The Institute for the Study of Civil Society. They provide solutions for social problems, especially in educational excellence in a wide range of academic studies and through offering educational advice, speakers and materials for schools, particularly about the European Union, and provide factual information, advice, analysis and debate. They also help rescue schools and have established a model school of their own. Welfare and moral reformers: they seek and provide answers to problems that beset our society today. Real spirit of Wilberforce stuff. Read about them here.
Roots. "Reclaim Europe for the people. A grassroots movement to reclaim Europe: for individual rights, a free-market economy and limited government at the peoples' pleasure." Britain is only one part of the civilised West, and here is a blog that really celebrates our varied common cultural roots - and which roots for freedom amongst our neighbours on the Continent.Read about them here.
EURSOC.Hard news and mostly Eurosceptic commentary searching for the truth behind the headlines - and the truth that doesn't make it into the news at all from this punchy, no-nonsense new blog. Domestic cultural and political issues deal with in the same, forthright and pacy manner. Read it here.
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.
There is also the United Kingdom Independence Party which campaigns for the UK to leave the EU altogether. Its site is here.Like all other parties, I do not necessarily endorse it policies or candidates, but UKIP definitely speaks of Britain's traditional freedoms fervently.
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.
