Iceland could actually save us.

I am reproducing below the entire text of a blog post from the co founder of the Albion Alliance

I have signed the pledge which reads thus:

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.

I pledge that I will sponsor a Private Members Bill, written in clear concise terms, calling for a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union - and/or support any motion for such a referendum - and to vote positively for any Bill that may call for such a referendum, irrespective of Party Whip, with a view to the successful outcome of this pledge within 1 year of a new Parliament or sooner.


Now for Ian's brilliant post

If you click the title of this post you will be taken to the original which is reproduced below with his kind permission.


As the near continent wide ban on aircraft movements enters its 4th day, and the airports of Europe begin to resemble refugee camps and field hospitals, a bigger and much more pressing set of questions now come to the fore.

Forgetting the shrills who have been carping on about Co2 and Food miles (the Icelandic volcano has put more Co2 into the atmosphere in 4 days than European industrialisation and air transport could do in 1000 years) the reserves of food available across the UK must now be looking fairly thin.

For years we have been told by our politicians that Globalisation is the way forward, it is good for Britain, yet we have seen that this same globalisation has all but destroyed our financial systems, in turn sending to the wall and bankrupting small and medium sized business at an unprecedented rate.

Supranational treaties with the EU, OECD, WTO and the UN have destroyed many of our key industries, mining, steel, potteries, etc and those same treaties have destroyed our food security.

The Government of the United Kingdom has an obligation to ensure that the population of these islands can feed itself, but after many years of interference both at national and supranational level, our arable farmers only produce a fraction of what is required, our fishermen are regulated, quota driven and fined, livestock farmers have been reduced to a bare minimum by introduced diseases such as foot and mouth and swine & bird flu.

Much of what food is produced in the UK is discarded or diverted for other purposes because of quotas for biofuels or processing, or it does not meet the plethora of regulations on sizes, shapes & colours.

As a nation we are now dependent upon the farmers of Egypt, Kenya, Syria, Spain, Italy and many more overseas producers for our basic foodstuffs. A large percentage of this is shipped into the UK by airfreight, as sea and road transportation would see these goods spoil or rot before they reached the supermarkets.

Besides the obvious inconvenience of moving people about, the inability of aircraft to fly will only show how globalisation is ruinous for this country, not only in financial terms but in the most basic of human requirements, the ability to feed ourselves.

When the supermarkets begin to have supply problems of potatoes, tomatoes, beans, apples, pears, oranges, lemons, asparagus, aubergines, sweet corn, those nice medley packs, runner beans, sweet potatoes, mange tout, carrots, swede, turnips, cucumbers, celery, peppers, radishes, onions, pineapples and grapes and a host of other foodstuffs that we buy every day, all in the main imported by air (just look at the labels) who will we blame.

Who will we blame? No doubt the newspapers and politicians will be blaming the Icelandic volcano ash cloud, a problem beyond their control.

But the problem should never have gotten beyond their control in the first place, they have neglected us, our ability to feed ourselves completely from within our own borders, in this mad dash for globalisation, for power, for money, for control.

So when the politicians knock on your door, ask them who is to blame if you cannot feed your family properly this election, just make it clear to them that without the EU, its rules and regulations, this country could grow what it wanted, it could fish where it liked, it could reduce our dependency on overseas food imports to a minimum, so that natural disasters such as this latest volcano would have a minimum impact on families here.

So rather than looking at this Icelandic Ash Cloud as a problem, it could in fact be our saviour, it could make the people of the UK wake up a little.

The way to get your candidate to understand that you wish to be self sufficient in food here, and the only way to do that is to get a referendum on the EU.

To get that referendum, reneged on by all the 3 main parties, Lib/Lab/Con, all candidates should be denied our vote unless they have already signed the Albion Alliance Pledge (see Candidate data base, button on right side bar). Alternatively, when candidates ‘come a canvassing’, they can also be presented with this to sign – a form which is being downloaded at the rate of ‘hundreds’ each day, since it became available on the Albion Alliance website.

I have at least answered one way or the other. I haven't left it hanging for four months.




Its Your Choice at the end of the day isn't it. Your cross in the ballot box

Give them a big surprise and make them embarrassed

Show them who holds power on 6th MAY 2010

Its in your hands not theirs.  Not even mine if you give me the votes  I am your public servant and you have the right to get shirty with me if I ignore you. If I havent replied to you in a week saying either your answer or a mail to say that I am working on it  you can phone me up at home and give me an earful !

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I am not asking for your vote. I am here to give you a real choice.

Let me make that very clear from the outset. The thought of being an MP scares the bejesus out of me but I am prepared to see the truth delivered on the television and radio and internet rather than the state sponsored lies, sponsored with your hard earned money. For that I am prepared to stand up and say I will help to bring that change about

I am here simply to give you the reality of voting Merrin(Blue) Featherstone(Yellow)  Jennings (Red) , will bring you and do to your self interest in what goes on in the corridors of power.They may be different colours but they are all the same, held under the sway of the EU yoke with the possible exception of UKIP who I see  haven't nailed their colours to the mast as yet in this constituency

There are 4 people standing in the election in Hornsey and Wood Green so far.

Lynne Featherstone with a majority of only 2395 votes. I have to say that Lynne as my MP has worked hard but I've never seen her knocking my door .  I'm sorry Lynne  you have to reconnect with the public who vote you in  ( I voted for her 5 years ago)

Labour are next with Jennings a new candidate this year  ( but do you really want another Labour government   Hasn't 13 years been long enough?) Well?

I saw Vote Labour boards across the south end of Alexandra Palace today  I was gobsmacked!

Then comes Merrin for the Conservatives , Hes a big businessman  Hes not interested in the little people.

I asked him to doorstep me back in January, I'm still waiting.  I said that the first candidate to come to my door and express an interest in what I wanted government to achieve would get my vote

Now that Ive signed up for being a candidate I guess I'm just going to have to vote for myself.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Nick Cleggover.THE GREAT PRIME MINISTERIAL DEBATE

He may have won the debate but he isn't speaking the truth for one moment.

Remember he's technically unemployed at the moment.   Since parliament was dissolved on April 6th none of the MP's have jobs

You and you alone by the power of a black cross in a box, have the power to make them unemployed permanently from the House of Commons.


Now thats what I call POWER!  2010!


 Remember one thing and one thing alone. These people are desperate to get back in and will say anything for you to vote for them.

ANYTHING.  Unless you get it in writing and witnessed as a contract don't take it on face value.

You wouldn't trust a used car salesman until you got  the AA to check out the car so why do you take what these people say to you on television the medium of lies and propaganda as the gospel truth.

WHY?  Is it because you can't be bothered to care about the country you live in.  Sorry about the guilt trip but your destiny is firmly in your writing hand when you make that cross or when you say I'm weak and I would like anyone to come and do it for me by not voting at all.

Not voting will let in the BNP or will return another Labour government back for another five years of Gordon Brown.

The words  Worst Nightmare on Earth come to mind.

Yet you the British registered electors have the power to stop that and you don't use it.

Voter turn out in Hornsey and Wood Green on average is 61.8% at the last election.

what happened to the other 39 percent of you?  Too busy, forgetting that it is your writing hand which determines who gets in and who doesn't and you each have a say. You may think it doesn't matter?

Is that the case?

If the people who don't vote actually voted..... not only would things change ...  They would change with the clear message that if you want my vote you have to work for it.

Or I won't give it to you. Or I wont abstain or not vote, I will vote and I will influence the outcome.


Reaffirm your status as a ruling 60 millionth part of the British Isles.


YOU HAVE THE POWER  PLEASE DON'T WASTE ENERGY.


USE IT PROPERLY.


Vote and make a real difference  You don't have to vote for me but I would like at least 5% of the vote just for being able to retain the hard earned £500 quid I put up to expose the rotten core of liars there are in the House of Commons
