“Everybody now has it in their head that every human being has some fundamental God-given right to move wherever they want. It’s not true. That was never the case. That was never a founding principle of the EU. Total myth,”
Now, that was a quite astonishing thing for any politician to say, let alone the third ranking politician in the United Kingdom and betrays a complete lack of understanding of the EU that he spent over six months during a referendum campaign assuring the British people he was expert in and must be listened to. He is, in the proper definition, ignorant of a fundamental understanding of the most important area of his political remit as Foreign Secretary. What I cannot understand is why he has not already been sacked. If any worker in any organisation displayed such a blatant ignorance of their job they would not last five minutes. I went back to the Treaty of Rome and simply cut and pasted some of it for your convenience. For example in Part 1 of the Treaty it says
Treaty of Rome - Part 1 Principles
Article 3. For the purposes set out in Article 2, the activities of the Community shall include, as provided by this Treaty and in accordance with the timetable set out therein:
(c) an internal market characterized by the abolition, as between Member States, of obstacles to the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital;
If we move to Part 3 which sets out this principle in detail, covering ten different articles of principle it includes
Part Three - Community Policies
Title Three - Free Movement of Persons, Services and Capital
Chapter 1 - Workers
This Chapter then details the ten different Articles that I have just spoken about and I will not bore you with details, I will simply reproduce the first of the ten Articles contained in Part 3 Chapter 1. This begins with Article 48 which reads
Article 48.
Freedom of movement for workers shall be secured within the Community by the end of the transitional period at the latest.
Such freedom of movement shall entail the abolition of any discrimination based on nationality between workers of the Member States as regards employment, remuneration and other conditions of work and employment.
It shall entail the right, subject to limitations justified on grounds of public policy, public security or public health:
(a) to accept offers of employment actually made;
(b) to move freely within the territory of Member States for this purpose;
(c) to stay in a Member State for the purpose of employment in accordance with the provisions governing the employment of nationals of that State laid down by law, regulation or administrative action;
(d) to remain in the territory of a Member State after having been employed in that State, subject to conditions which shall be embodied in implementing regulations to be drawn up by the Commission.
| Believe me there are another nine Articles expanding on this concept of the free movement of workers and the British Foreign Secretary is blissfully unaware of their existence. This Treaty has been in existence since 1957 by the way, before he was born, and it is even more telling given that he was based in Brussels for a time as EU correspondent for the Daily Telegraph. Now, I have frequently referred to how I categorise many so called experts as well-schooled but not well educated. Here we have a graphic example of someone who can attend the most prestigious educational establishments in Britain, if not the world, pass through them with full honours, rise to the highest offices in the land and not even reach the level of well-schooled, never mind educated. This is the British class system. Is it any wonder that real intellects like Adam Smith and Jeremy Bentham called Oxford a complete waste of time. David Hume spent six months in Cambridge and asked for his money back. |
Now in the Bible the proverbs tell us to answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. I recount this matter to you, not as a jibe at Boris Johnson, but as an example of the kind of people who rise to the top in our societies because they belong to an elite, attend elite schools and universities and think that rules, regulations, decency and dignity are for other people, because they have a sense of entitlement that absolve them from the constraints that apply to the rest of us. Johnson is an opinion former and was one of the chief advocates of Brexit, demonising the EU and persuading enough people that he knew what he was talking about. He was listened to because in class ridden Britain his background ensures that his opinions will be listened to and respected, even when they are (and I will use his own language here) bollocks. His class position even absolves him from the need to do his homework and apply a bit of diligence to his job. Johnson is a product of a sick society. This man is making a fool of himself throughout the world and the rest of the world is now seeing the imbecile that we have all witnessed over the past ten years in this country, but, he went to Eton and Oxford, was a member of the Bullingdon Club along with all his other Tory mates who went on to become Prime Minister and Chancellor and who brought Britain to a crises in both political and economic matters, and must be treated different from the plebs, even allowed to insult other nations and their elected representatives. I will end here but trust this will give you a flavour of the corrosive poison that is the class system and the damage it can wreck on society, giving us a ruling class that are simply appalling. You have been warned.
