Secret plans reveal the South of England will be renamed TRANSMANCHE and governed in part by bureaucrats based in France.
Two more Transnational zones are also being set up to promote the territorial agenda of the EU.
The ATLANTIC REGION stretching thousands of miles from the northern tip of Scotland to southern Spain will take in western England and Wales, along with parts of Portugal and France.
And the NORTH SEA REGION will cover chunks of eastern England and eastern Scotland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Holland, and the Flemish part of Belgium.
The Atlantic will have its headquarters in Portugal, the North Sea in Denmark.
Ironically, news of the carve-up comes on St Georges Day Englands national day.
Critics, including the Tories, claim the new regions ignore thousands of years of history and wipe England off the map.
Spokesman Eric Pickles said: We knew Gordon Brown had hoisted the white flag of surrender to the European Constitution.
Now the Labour Government has been caught red-handed, conspiring with European bureaucrats to create a European Superstate via the back door.
The stated strategic objective of the regions is to support the emergence of a common space of citizenship, a sense of belonging to a cross-border area with a unique identity.
For Britain, that means issues like transport, the environment, shipping and cross-cultural links which could include tourism and town-twinning.
The three regions have been granted £660million of EU funds between them, with each handling its own budget.
A Government spokesman said: It is about support for business, boosting employment and turning around our deprived areas.
The controversial move to reshape national boundaries which also insists any projects in those areas must fly the EU flag emerged as England celebrates its patron saints day.
God Save The Queen!
bttt
I called the EU “Weenieland”
Oceania?
Please, let this be a joke. This news, coupled with the Muslim idiocy, saddens me immensely. Where is the beloved UK that stood up to Hitler when the rest of wimpy Europe folded like a liberal in a fist fight? Come on, Brits. A little revolution is good for the soul. Better shed the blood now, rather than later. If we get Obamaloon or the Hillabeast for pres, you’re not going to have anyone to back you up. Those two clowns couldn’t command a paper airplane.
There will always be an England.... er, I mean Transmanche
If I were a Brit I’d have my ammo out cleaning my gun.
What the sam hell is going on here?
This is the slicing and dicing of one of our best friends in the world.
Are we going to stand by and twiddle our thumbs while this takes place?
The Queen? She’s not the queen of Europe, and England no longer exists as a sovereign nation, so what’s she Queen of?
She’s queen of her own kitchen, just like any other housewife, except she’s a widower, receiving far too much state welfare money. Technically, her estate should be sold when she dies because welfare payments are added as a lien on property owned by a recipient.
Great Britain will of course be re-named Airstrip One for the occasion.
The EU wants to recreate the Roman Empire. Which would be kind of cool if they had the military power and real cultural superiority to make it stick. But they don't. To hell with the EU. God Save the Queen!
Don’t fret, Bush will send Condi over. It will be just as good as new.
“A Government spokesman said: “It is about support for business, boosting employment and turning around our deprived areas.”
Liar! Sounds like GWB talking about Mexico.
The axis has gone global. Now, Isn’t That Special! I feel so much better now.
And someone please tell me why we are having an election?
IIRC this article gets posted in various forms once a year in the Sun. I don't mean that the EU mandarins don't want this - they do - but that doesn't mean its happening.
Oh nooooooooooooooooo...
You did have to go and say that didn’t you. LOL
The exact same thing could happen here. *North American Union* ring anybodiy’s bell?
