EU Arrest Warrant Could Threaten Innocent People
Stephanie McWilliam explains the threat to innocent people posed by the European Arrest Warrant. She mentions examples including Andrew Symeou.
Worryingly, there is NO right of appeal or evidence requirement.
The European Arrest Warrant amounts to EU extradition on demand. This flawed legislation was drafted by Liberal Democrat, South West career politician Graham Watson MEP

I’ve seen Labour in action, Cameron has said he believes EU membership is good for us, and Clegg makes no secret of his support for it.
My only alternatives therefore are the BNP and UKIP. UKIP wins hands down everytime. I’m not a racist and I don’t want policies based on race or skin colour and I’m not left wing enough to support their economic policies.

I know who I’m voting for – Liberal Democrats! I am in full support of the EU, since being in the EU we haven’t been dragged into another world war (America led us into Afghanistan and Iraq, Lib Dems have always been against these wars) a lot of our jobs come from EU and it’s good for trade. Also in today’s world we are too small to compete on our own, being part of Europe we are in a much better position. Also to all these BNP supporters, none of us are truly indigenous, Britain on the whole have been invaded so many times that we’re all mostly a mixture of saxon, roman, celtic etc. Immigration has been good for our economy and NHS (although there do need to be controls).

Wow! Linzisue
Since being in the EU we haven’t been dragged into another world war (America led us into Afghanistan and Iraq, Lib Dems have always been against these wars)
As I remember from the recent iraq war enquiry Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were eager participants in those wars and DID NOT have to be led in, nor did any other EU country. The fact is they lied to us all.
A lot of our jobs come from EU and it’s good for trade.
Tell that to the BAE workers in Telford and Shropshire who have just heard that the new £1 billion Ministry of Defence contract for the CV90 armoured reconnaissance vehicle (originally to be built in Telford and Newcastle)has gone to General Dynamics in Spain and Autria.
Tell that to the 140 anti fraud Barclaycard employees who are losing there jobs because there operations are being moved to India
In fact, tell that to the many thousands of British people who are being openly discriminated against in favour of immigrants. A typical example of this is cooked meat manufacturer Forza AW who has effectively barred anyone but Poles for applying for jobs on its production line in East Anglia by insisting all staff speak the language fluently.
If we cant compete anymore, it is not because we as a country are too small, it is because, since the late 1980′s all our industries have been systematically sold off to foreign enterprises.
Being part of Europe we are in a much better position. How are we in a much better position. The amount of money given to the EU by our so called government far exceeds any benefits we derive from our membership.
If being in the EU is so beneficial, then why do so many people want out of it. Why do the LibLabCons refuse to give us our democratic right to a referendum on our EU membership.
In a democracy, those in power are entrusted to serve the people who elected them; not the other way round. The EU is nothing more than a self serving dictatorship we seeks to dominate and control such oppresive means as higher and higher taxation (the ficticous global warming agenda springs to mind), the break down of law and order, the displacement of populations by excessive immigration, etc, etc, etc,………. using methods of social engineering on us as devised by the Tavistock Institute in London (you can google it for more info)
With all the main parties singing from the same hymm sheet, its no wonder we look like getting a hung palaiment; that so many people haven’t got a clue who to vote for. Yet anyone or party that objects or speaks out against these measures is branded a rascist or fascist – talk about hypocritical
As for the other ludicrous comment “Britain on the whole have been invaded so many times that we’re all mostly a mixture of saxon, roman, celtic etc.”, the last time Britain was successfully invaded was in 1066, so that doesn’t even qualify. What makes a nation is its culture, its religous beliefs, its family values (sense of community) and its traditions; all of which are being deliberately and systematically eroded away

What a load of anti EU and anti British rubbish!
The main reason why our traditional manufacturing industries have struggled considerably is the cost of living in the UK is far higher than places like China and some EU countries where the cost of living and quality of living is much lower (we can not compete on labor costs).
If you want a high standard of living in Britain, businesses have to pay relatively high wages. High wages means businesses that rely heavily on manual labor that can be run almost anywhere is the world are going to tend to move to developing countries where labor costs are far lower.
As long as British people want a high standard of living traditional industries that rely on ‘brute force’ labor are going to slowly, but surly move away from Britain.
The only way to turn things around would be to do what the Conservatives would do if they could get away with it, remove the national minimum wage and many of the protections British workers now have thanks to the Labour government. Then we might be able to compete on price with countries like China! Is that what you want, low wages and low quality working conditions?
It can’t be stopped, but it can be slowed and I think successive governments (especially Conservative governments) haven’t done nearly enough to slow the trend.
This is why the Labour government talks a lot about the new industries (green low carbon industries), if we are to keep our country moving forward, we have to look forward to these new industries where it’s not about hard labor to get a job done, but a highly skilled work force.
Has the Labour government done enough to promote British business, no, they can always do more, but it is no where near as bad as doomsayers like yourself make out.
This is a great country to live in, I’ve gone through hard time in the past, but now we have a very comfortable life, but if something ever went wrong I know the Labour governments policies have put a really strong safety net under hard working British families.

How can we call EU a dictatorship when all the MEPs are voted in by the European people? They also have proportional respresentation which is much fairer than what we have in UK parliament. Each party in all the EU countries are put into categories, you have the liberals, conservatives and the euro sceptics, how much power they have depends on how many people vote them in. A dictatorship is a one party country where the people have no power, completely the opposite to what the EU is. I also see you’ve bought into the BNP propaganda of ‘immigrants are taking away our heritage, taking our jobs, our traditions etc…’ This is all rubbish, cultures change throughout history anyway but I don’t see how they are stopping us from following our traditions, nobody is stopping me from going to church and nobody has taken my job! How many English people celebrate St George’s day? Immigrants aren’t stopping them. Back to the EU, it would cost us a lot more money to come out of EU, we’re also very powerful in the EU!!

We may vote in MEPs as a form of window dressing to give the EU some appearance of being a respectable democracy. However, the law making emanates from a group of Brussels-based functionaries known as the European Commission who are unelected and unsackable. The grouping in Strasbourg are simply there to give a semblance of democracy but is in fact just a talking shop. The latest breaking news is the step-by-step removal of Habeous Corpus and its replacement by Corpus Juris – see yesterday’s (31.3.10) headlines on the trial without Jury. This is the precedent they wish to set using their normal ratchet-like introduction of unpopular and unannounced law making. Why did they recently wish to hold people without trial for so long? I imagine it is probably another example of European law-creep being attempted and falls in line with the Napoleonic Code of presumed guilt and then having to prove that you are innocent – Corpus Juris. Just one example of our loss of sovereignty!

No. We no longer have global hegemony with Pax Britannica so to think we could viably operate outside a body of nations is naive.
The tabloid-lead xenophobia is misleading and does not mention positive contributions the EU has made such as cross-border policing which makes it easier to track down criminals who cross borders and the many community facilities- such as university buildings and sports centres funded by the EU.
As well as being British I am a European. We may be an island and with that comes a certain island-nation identity but to pretend that ‘Europe’ is somehow another place is to ignore the very fabric of British history. From the Roman Conquest, Germanic Saxon Conquest, Norse Raids and integration, French based Norman conquest and Plantagenet dynasty to the Hanoverian influence on our monarchy, we ARE a European country. That doesn’t mean we cannot also have a strong but healthy sense of national pride as Britons.
I strongly support the concept of European unity, but that does not mean I am a slavish-EU supporter. I can see many faults with the institution including the arrogance of its bureacrats and poor public relations in terms of accountability.
I therefore support a reformed, more direct EU that respects national identities. I like Stirling as a currency and don’t see a major need for the Euro… yet at least.

Labour has sent our great country down the toilet.
An estimated 1.1 million illegal immigrants and they can’t even be bothered to send people to court for the deportation hearings!
Won the election on a promise of a refferendum on Europe. Then didn’t give it to us. Who the hell do they think they are?
Our brave troops fighting and dying in Afghanistan for the place to remain a corrupt terrorist haven.
Bring our Boys and Girls home and let them protect our borders and see how many get in then!
I don’t think any of the big three parties deserve anyones vote. Give them a scare and vote for someone else.
Britain doesn’t need to be a part of the EU, we can still trade with any part of europe and not be in the EU. Trade is a global economy and being in the EU doesn’t change that. We would do great on our own without europe dragging us down.
We are Great Britain!

I keep seeing comments regarding being British means being a christian which is wrong, Christianity is a middle eastern religion, in fact if the BNP ever won Jesus wouldn’t be allowed to live here!! The true “British” religion is the Pagan religion. Most “British” first names aren’t “British” at all they are derived from middle eastern names, Joseph is from Yusif etc.. all BNP members should loose their “christian” names and take on Pagan names if they truly believe the rubbish they spout
