Today is the 1st of December, perhaps we should call it

"Loss of Independence Day"?

This morning the eu will at last have the supreme government it has wanted for so long – unelected, unaccountable and, as even its own polls show, less popular with those it rules over than ever before. But what do the politicians care? They have the power, and we now have a government we can never dismiss.

The eu is a corrupt dictatorship wearing the clothes of a democracy.

Just five of the many things we lost at midnight.

1. Habeas corpus ad subjiciendum. Latin for "you may hold the body subject to examination". This undeniable right protects one from the state.

2. Courts de jure. Latin for "courts by jury". We have some 70 courts in our land geared for jury trials. Today your right to be judged by a jury of your peers evaporates completely.

3. Innocent until proven guilty. This morning we start playing a whole new game whereby you, the accused, are guilty until you can prove your innocence.

4. Loss of sovereignty. Under the eu our sovereignty is dead and buried. No more English, no more Scots, no more Irish, no more Welsh. We are all european now.

5. Democracy. From the Greek demokratia-power to the people. This morning we give away this unique method of rule for an oligarchy. Mandarins in Europe are not elected. They are selected.

I got that stick, by the way, in Sainsburys for only a pound!
