It was a remarkable coincidence that on the same day that Mrs May effectively
cemented the UK to perpetual membership of the EU by allowing the EU to
determine if we are ever allowed to leave (you couldn’t make that up, could
you!), the European Court of Justice, (a misnomer if ever there was one, just
ask Sir James Dyson), ordered, yes, ordered, the
immediate halt to a £1bn scheme designed to keep Britain’s lights on.
Through gritted teeth UK government
spokesperson said the ruling “will not impact security or supply”.
So why was the UK government undertaking such
a scheme if it didn’t need to? Of
course, it did need to undertake it.
But it just another angle on leaving the EU. If we don't, this kind of behaviour will continue. Until we do leave, our domestic agenda will forever
be controlled by a foreign court.
That
is why we vote to leave. And that is why
we must leave.
As a footnote to the
story, your pension and mine took a big hit from this ECJ judgement. Hundreds of millions of pounds was wiped off
the largest energy companies which your pension funds invest in. So the ECJ
has just cost you a lot of money.
