We've obviously got someone peeved enough to hack the site, but to make sure the message doesn't get completely forgotten, I am re-posting the mission statement here!
The key policy statement that the economy must be tackled first and that a referendum be discussed only 18 months after the general election, is fundamentally wrong and unacceptable.
Instead:
1. There must be a referendum on EU membership within one year of a new parliament, including the option of total withdrawal or a trading agreement, in order to “clear the decks”;
2. Given a No vote, then all laws inimical to Britain, both EU and homegrown need to be reviewed and repealed and a fundamental overhaul of all sectors of society needs to be undertaken.
Many of our political leaders are ignoring and even blocking this. The response that it would be electoral suicide to offer the people a voice just doesn’t hold water. It would be suicide not to do so because opinion polls say that we want it. Albion Alliance is also contacting all candidates for the next general election and asking them to commit to this principle:
I pledge to work tirelessly to give the voters of my constituency a democratic and direct voice in the United Kingdom’s continued relationship with the EU, to support any motion for a referendum on that continued relationship, and to vote positively for any Private Members Bill that may call for such a referendum, written in clear concise terms, irrespective of Party Whip and to promote the same, with a view to the successful outcome of this pledge within one year of a new Parliament or sooner.
We are publishing all responses when received – yea or nay – and preparing lists of which candidates said what, to be publicised around the UK prior to the general election.
The people want their voices heard. You can help us by signing at:
We just have to keep patiently putting the message.
ReplyDeletewow. they must fear you if they are attacking like this. Keep up the good work, spidie.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, James, and the Albion Alliance has clearly got the establishment very nervous in the space of just two weeks.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good start, Opie! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Spidey, I'm with Opie, you are getting to them!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving from across the pond, even though you don't celebrate! Do you do the big store sales tomorrow?
I'm debating which one I"ll go to first, but I"ll probably leave the house after 6 am. Not 3 am like some nutters!
Hi, Bunni, Happy Thanksgiving to you, too. It's been a while but I have been in the US for a couple of Thanksgiving turkeys with all the trimmings - I do love sweet potato and I adore pumpkin pie - it's almost like having a practice run for Christmas which sneaks up incredibly quickly afterwards! We don't really have any big store sales until a bit closer to Christmas when they want to get their sales figures up and then they start properly just after Christmas, (it used to be always 2nd January but now it tends to be 27th December).
ReplyDelete:-D
I believe you guys are right about the hacking - two weeks exactly from the site's launch, someone else said that the four stages of their reaction are usually:
1) They ignore it.
2) They ridicule it.
3) They attack it.
4) WE WIN!
It would appear that we have already reached stage three.....bwahahahaha! ;)
