The Principality and Power of Europe (Paperback)

Hilton defends the 1701 Act of Settlement, which completed the 1688 Revolution, whereby the people of England deposed the Catholic King James II. He argues that it is right to bar a Roman Catholic, or a monarch married to a Roman Catholic, from the throne, because Catholicism would oblige such a monarch to subordinate Britain's interests to those of a rival political authority, the Papacy.

He compiles the evidence proving that the EU's aim is becoming a single state. In 1960 the Lord Chancellor advised Edward Heath that entering the EEC "is the first step on the road which leads ... to the fully federal state." But Heath told us, "there are some in this country who fear that in going into Europe, we shall in some way sacrifice independence and sovereignty. These fears I need hardly say are completely unjustified." Yet when asked later if he wanted "a United States of Europe", he replied, "Of course, yes."

Blair told the House of Commons in February 1999, "The euro project is of course an intensely political act. The euro cannot be conceived of except politically." Ken Clarke boasted that he had never read the Maastricht Treaty, but he got its gist: "I look forward to the day when the Westminster Parliament is just a Council Chamber in Europe." In February 2000, Romano Prodi, President of the European Commission, said, "European government is a clear expression I still use. You need time, but step by step the European Commission takes a political decision and behaves like a growing government...

This book exposes the huge lies that have been perpetrated by an unelected, undemocratic power-driven European machine, infiltrating the fabric of our society and removing irrevocably our liberal freedom and democratic rights - all at great cost to the British tax-payer. I found the contents of this book absolutely fascinating - a real revelation! Of course, I had an inkling of some of these things, but the sheer size of the deceit and strength of strategic ambition at play here is absolutely frightening - Hitler pales into insignificance in comparison, since at least our country was willing to FIGHT in the 1940s...

I am reading this in 2005, several years after its publication (even of the 2nd edition). Although things change quickly in European politics, the passing of time has unfortunately merely served to confirm the wicked aspirations that are being played out by those who still (after all these centuries) wish to conquer and rule Great Britain, wish to rob us of hard-won liberties handed down and refined over the centuries, wish to reduce our significance on the world stage to a mere provider of redistributed wealth.

If you care one jot about Great Britain then you MUST read this book - at least then you cannot claim ignorance when your grandchildren ask you what YOU did to defend this country.
