Graham Watson. Again.

Graham Watson is again trying to use Libertas to position himself as a future President of the European Parliament. In an unusual article placed on his own website today, he claimed that he 'will not be cowed by Ganley threat'. But what is this serious threat and has he reported it to the police?

Apparently not. This most dangerous of threats that he won't be cowed by is that Libertas might run some adverts in his South West region during the EU elections... where Libertas will also be running candidates. His bravery in the face of danger is an inspiration to us all.

So what's this really about? Firstly, Mr Watson has identified that whereas Eurosceptics are easy to dismiss, criticism from the pro-European Libertas is much harder to 'stymie'. Our arguments can't simply be rubbished as coming from little Englanders because we want the EU to be a success more than he does. However, unlike Graham, we believe that this can be achieved without abolishing Britain, and without forming a bureaucratic superstate. We don't believe that supporting the corrupt anti-democratic EU in its current form is pro-European at all; in fact his stance is damaging to the future of Europe and the European Union.

Secondly, and this again demonstrates one of the biggest problems with the EU, Mr Watson seems to think that the best way to garner support for his Presidency campaign is to become the ultimate EU fanboy. He has taken it upon himself to become our Nemesis; he will stand against those most dangerous to the Brussels hegemony, and that now means Libertas. Because we are promoting an alternative style of European governance, we are his perfect enemy.
