Lies to Parliament and people (covered up for 30 years)
Sir Edward Heath was so convinced of the benefits for Britain of joining the European Economic Community that he was prepared to lie about it. On the implications of our joining the then E.E.C. in 1972, he said: “There will be no loss of essential national sovereignty”. On a TV current affairs programme in 1990, he was asked if he had known that this statement was untrue at the time he said it. His notorious answer was “Of course, yes”
Heath knew he was telling a lie in 1970 because he had been obliged to commission a study of the constitutional implications of membership of the EEC. The Lord Chancellor Lord Kilmuir who conducted the study wrote to Heath (in a letter kept secret for 30 years) that:
It is clear …..that the Council of Ministers could …… make regulations which would be binding on us even against our wishes, and which would in fact become for us part of the law of the land. For Parliament to do this would go far beyond the most extensive delegation of powers, even in wartime, that we have experienced and I do not think there is any likelihood of this being acceptable to the House of Commons.
we should have therefore to accept a position where Parliament had no more power to repeal its own enactments (in other words that it was no longer a Parliament) we could only comply with our obligations under the Treaty if Parliament abandoned its right of passing independent judgment on the legislative proposals put before it.
…..in this respect Parliament here has in substance, if not in form, abdicated its sovereign position,
Betrayal of Her Majesty’s Sovereignty
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom swears an oath which includes
“You will to your uttermost bear Faith and Allegiance to the Queen’s Majesty and will assist and defend all civil and temporal Jurisdictions, Pre-eminences and Authorities, granted to Her Majesty and annexed to the Crown by Acts of Parliament or otherwise against all Foreign Princes, Persons, Prelates, States or Potentates…”
I need hardly remind you of the Articles of Religion of the Church of England which state “The Queen’s Majesty hath the chief power in this Realm of England and other her Dominions, unto whom the chief Government of all Estates of this Realm….. doth appertain and is not, nor ought to be subject to any Foreign Jurisdiction…”. A position which Heath deliberately and deceitfully overturned by doing what Lord Kilmuir specifically warned would be an unprecedented surrender of constitutional power.
It was Kenneth Clarke who confirmed in Parliament that Her Majesty the Queen was now a “citizen of the European Union” – and therefore no longer a sovereign but a Suzerain.
Awarded Charlemagne Prize (founded by Nazis)
For betraying his country and for his services to the European Union Heath was awarded £75,000 and the Charlemagne Prize, a prize originally established by the Nazis and after the war re-launched by “former Nazis” like Kurt Pfeiffer and the Aachen Professor Peter Mennicken (who had taken over his Chair from an expelled Jew)
Negotiated with Fascist Spain to give away Gibraltar over the heads of its inhabitants.
In the early 1970s Prime Minister Heath started negotiations. In 1973 Spain was a fascist dictatorship and yet Heath was prepared to negotiate with that country the status of a British dependency with a democratic government against the wishes of its people. Heath also offered Spain political and cultural access to Gibraltar to start the process of “persuading” the Gibraltarians to give up British sovereignty.
Leasehold reform gave him right to buy in Salisbury Close depriving the Church of its assets.
Heath took advantage of the Conservative Government’s Leasehold Reform Act to force the Church of England to sell him the freehold of his house in Salisbury Close. This legislation was oppressive and illiberal and overturned the basic principles of democratic property rights.
Apologist for and beneficiary of Chinese communism
Edward Heath was a close friend of Chinese Communism (a regime which executed thousands of dissidents every year) and he benefited greatly from association with a number of large Chinese corporations, the remuneration from which he never declared to Parliament. He was on record as saying in defence of Chinese totalitarianism that “you can’t have a democracy with so many people”. Doubtless this is what he had in mind in building a Europe of 500million people by anti democratic means.
