Interview with the Viscount Monckton of Brenchley
John Griffing
John Griffing interviews the Viscount Monckton of Brenchley. They explore issues ranging from liberty to the growing power of the state and the European Union.
Britain was once one of the world’s most radical democracies. We are now a mere satrapy of an alien empire of bloodless, parasitic, custard-faced paper-shufflers. Ministers have long had, and have increasingly used and abused, powers to make laws independent of Parliament by way of delegated legislation.
Now the European tyranny, too, has the power to make laws independent either of the European Duma or of the elected parliaments of the vassal-states, by a procedure known as the “Commission Regulation”, which, once promulgated even by the most junior of the cuisses-de-cuir of Brussels, has the immediate force of supreme law throughout Europe and must be enforced by British courts whether our elected representatives like it or not.
