Evans-Pritchard Calls For New U.K. Government to File Divorce From EU

May 16, 2010 (LPAC)—Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, the son of MI6 and former Clintongate case officer, who is now the international business editor of the Daily Telegraph, penned an hysterical piece Saturday calling for Britain to split from the European Union, over the issue of escalating moves towards a Brussels dictatorship and the end of continental European sovereignty. In his own words, Evans-Pritchard called the moves coming out of the European Commission in Brussels, to take direct control over formerly sovereign budgetary decisions a move towards "fiscal Fascism." He began his divorce call, "Just when you thought the EU could not go any further down the road towards authoritarian excess, it gets worse.... Fonctionnaires and EU finance ministers will pass judgment on the British (or Dutch, or Danish, or French) budgets before the elected bodies of these ancient and sovereign nations have seen the proposals. Did we not fight the English Civil War and kill a king over such a prerogative?"

Evans-Pritchard equated the power grab by Brussels, pushing austerity and deflation, as the same as the Bruening destruction of Weimar and Laval's destruction of the French Third Republic, before he became the "Nazi enforcer of Vichy."

Speaking on behalf of a Tory faction in the City, Evans-Pritchard concluded his diatribe: "The moment of definition is fast arriving for Britain. The measures now being demanded to save monetary union cannot and will not be accepted by this Government, Nick Clegg notwithstanding.... The outcome—un veritable gouvernement economique—will put Britain and the eurozone on such separate courses that it will amount to separation in all but name. The sooner we get the nastiness of divorce behind us, the better."
