A lesson from the Romans on morality (or why we should learn Latin)

Any Latin teacher will confirm that the Romans used the same word for must and should ie debeo.

This means most Romans thought that we must do the things we should, and we should do the things we must.

And that is why the Romans were so good at getting things done.

Sadly, in our ignorant and benighted times of "progressive" education, there is great confusion and cowardice between making a prediction and expressing a view that something is morally desirable. 

Those who fear to express their view that something should happen, are moral cowards who fear being told, "Yeah, but it would never happen, mate."

However, if more of us expressed the opinion that something should happen, then it increases its likelihood of it happening, because many people are in awe of conventional wisdom and likely to follow, even if tragically unaware of how easily it can be subverted.

I am therefore saying that a BNP-UKIP Anschluss would give the Eurosceptic movement the turbo-charge it so desperately needs.

Should this happen, and it is right that it should if the people in the Eurosceptic movement don't want to have wasted their time, then it would take things forward a little bit more.

The respective leaders of UKIP and BNP would doubtless prefer to remain the big fish in their own respective small ponds, as long as they are receiving an income, but that would mean that the grassroots will have wasted their time for all these years in a moribund and hopelessly divided movement.  Unless they are happy with occupational therapy, I suggest they aspire to higher things.

Their respective policy differences, ie Protectionist v Free Trade, Libertarian v Statist, sending non-whites "home", voluntarily or not, can be settled after withdrawal from the EU, where a referendum can be held on which the voting public prefer.

In the meantime it is only necessary that the Eurosceptic movement agree that the question should be asked and to promise to abide by the decision of the majority. 

I propose that the name of this new party be the British National Independence Party (the "B-Nips" for short) to reflect its new merged character. (This event would of course bring in the even  more moribund English Democrats - ie the UKIP rejects, and give them something constructive to do with their sad little lives.)

This would be a marvellous opportunity to draft a new democratic constitution that would protect the rights of individual members against abuse by the leader and his cronies.  (I trust that The Expelled One and The Suspended 30 of the BNP would doubtless agree with me on this and I hope that they will use their considerable experience to support this idea.)

Doubters and detractors should bear in mind that the Liberals and the SDP merged in the 1980s and are now in government.
