Defcon 3 - enemy alert
Thanks to The Edge of England's Sword for bringing the Eurofanatic mayor in Lewisham, South London to my attention.
It tells us al ot about the eurofascists behind the compulsory metrication scam.
"Last Thursday, when a phalanx of officials entered the market in Lewisham High Street, the traders, were ready for them. When Martin Pulsford, a greengrocer, was told to surrender his scales, he replied, "With the best will in the world, I am not going to give them to you." The officials called the police, who seemed none too happy to be involved. (One officer said: "We should be out catching real criminals.") As reporters and a BBC camera crew converged on the scene, the officials beat a retreat.
Why should Lewisham have been the first council to break the two-year truce on enforcing the metric laws (while the Metric Martyrs case is still awaiting a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights)? It may be because the borough's elected mayor, Steve Bullock, is a fervent Europhile, who immediately issued a statement: "The change in the law was made to bring the United Kingdom in line with Europe. I personally advocate the change to the metric system. If it were possible, I would enjoy buying goods in euros as well."
Mr Bullock, who is also general secretary of the Union of Social Democratic Local and Regional Politicians of Europe, was clearly angry at the rebuff suffered by his officials on Thursday. His council says it will be taking further steps to force Lewisham's market traders to obey the law, at a time of its choosing."
