GOVERNMENT SELLS WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER TO THE FRENCH

For generations Dover has stood as an indomitable symbol of Britain’s freedom and independence.
The town, with its white cliffs, port and sprawling castle stood at the very edge of the nation’s frontier with the Continent.
But now part of that proud history is up for sale and the leading bidder is revealed as the former age-old enemy – France.
The Port of Dover is being recommended by Government advisers for sale to the French authorities.
It is one of a string of public assets which have been earmarked for privatisation as the Government battles with a record £830billion national debt.
The proposal for the port has prompted outrage.
It is very clear that Gordon Brown has no sense of the history of our nation or the pride of our town.
‘How dare he consider selling it all off to the French? Dover is the English border. The people of Dover have a clear message for him – hands off our port, hands off the English border.’
A sale of the Port of Dover, Europe’s busiest ferry port, could net up to £350million for the Treasury. Its harbour board applied to the Transport Secretary for voluntary privatisation last month.
The sale is expected to be rubber-stamped and the leading bidder has emerged as Nord-pas-de-Calais regional council, which also owns Calais.
The French port is just 21 miles away across the Channel and the sale would mark a dramatic reversal in the fortunes of the two towns.
Calais was captured by the English under Edward III in 1347 and the occupation lasted for more than two centuries.
I have heard some daft ideas before but selling off your border is one of the daftest. One question I would ask is if this happened then where would our border be?
Why has this been kept quiet why has there been no debate on selling part of our country to another?
If this happens then we the National Front when in power will take our land back it is bad enough selling the ‘family’s silver but to stoop so low as to sell of party of your own country is treasonous at the very least.
