Mad map to leave Britain in bits
By DAVID WOODING
September 04, 2006
GERMANY is plotting to wipe Britain off the map in their revived bid to create an EU superstate.
They want the 25 member states to scrap their national boundaries so England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland cease to exist.
They would be split up and merged with other countries to form new “trans-national” EU regions.
Kent and East Sussex would join northern France as part of a new land called “TransManche”.
Most of England and Scotland would be lumped with parts of Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium and Holland as the North Sea region.
Western England would be in the Atlantic region with chunks of France.
Wales and Ireland would become Ireland-Wales, while north-west Scotland would be in the “Northern Periphery”.
The masterplan will be put into action when Germany takes over the EU presidency in January and tries to revive the rejected EU constitution.
German minister Wolfgang Tiefensee said: “There is the great hope underlying the goal of a United Europe that we can overcome old borders.”
THE SUN SAYS (Rob says: I have not made this up - this is the most influential paper in the UK)
Wolf at the door
“THE Germans have a masterplan to redraw the map of Europe . . . ”
It seems we have heard those words before. And now we are hearing them again.
Next January, when the Germans begin a six-month EU presidency, they intend to “facilitate trans-European territorial integration”.
In other words they want to scrap national borders and wipe Britain off the map.
As luck would have it, EU officials in Brussels have drawn up a map splitting Britain into five “transnational” regions.
It’s just about as barmy as it can get — uniting bits of Kent and Sussex with France, combining Wales and Ireland, and throwing Cornwall in with Portugal.
The first reaction is, of course, to have a good laugh. But don’t.
The Germans are deadly serious. They want to bring back the dreaded European Constitution.
Their Federal Minister Wolfgang Tiefensee says: “There is great hope underlying the goal of a United Europe that we can permanently overcome old borders”.
Not if The Sun has anything to do with it, Wolfgang.

The prior posting from Agnie assures us she is not from outer space. The Sun, article, however, must be. The counter plan should be for the entire EU to become the Netherlands. Now there's a sound proposal. Sane laws regarding people, places and things. Plus, we could bicycle everywhere whilst carrying our pets and lovers in baskets and on back racks respectively. The rainy, cloudy climate would be neutralized by having such nice places as Spain and Cyprus now part of the "plaats". Well, good luck Rob and Lorcan, time to call Mieke, Anne, Jens and Kathrin for an EPA style dispute resolution. Cheers.
My favourite sentence in the whole article (and there are many) is "Wales and Ireland would become Ireland-Wales." Now there's a thing. Why not Wales-Ireland? After 'TransManche' and 'Northern Periphery', this comes as something of a disappointment (it also is very reminisent of Orwell's '1984').
Of course, the worrying thing is that whilst the writer was probably having a good laugh when he wrote it- most of the Sun writers do - Sun readers will of course believe it and lap up the Second World War references. And you wonder why I've left the country (or maybe you don't!)...
I can't belive it.
I just can't.
how can Germans be so evil? ehhehehehehhehehe
