The European Parliament is for the first time ever set to vote for EU-wide criminal penalties – including imprisonment – for crimes breaching intellectual property rights, but critics say the proposal is badly drafted and would affect millions of young Europeans including MEPs' own teenagers.

What is your teenage son, daughter or grandchild doing on the internet today? . Many are doing homework, researching the internet or downloading music and watching video from Youtube or other media websites.

Do you know what they are downloading? , well you had certainly better find out pretty damn quick, because the European Union is going imprison them.

What is being described as the most ill thought out piece of legislation ever to come out of the EU as well as being called a draconian threat to civil liberties is now being proposed by the EU. They are introducing criminal measures aimed at ensuring the enforcement of intellectual property rights across the 27-member bloc.

Anyone anywhere who has an old piece of pirated software, video, music will risk imprisonment and this could have an adverse affect for millions of websites and political forums who have used or copied pictures, graphics, media and text without the owners consent.

If anyone is foolish enough to believe the liars of our government, or the un-elected fraudulent criminals of the EU that they do not wish to create a European super state, then think again. The legislation comes after the European Commission in April 2006 put forward a proposal for an EU-wide law in the area and is the first piece of EU draft legislation seeking to “harmonise national criminal law in the union”.

The Popular Alliance does not condone pirating in any way, but we do believe that any legislation must tackle the organised criminals who do this on an industrial scale, including those who copy medicines and put sick patients at risk, and this must be done in co-operation with other nations such as the US, Russia, China and Europe.

The EU is targeting the soft targets, to make money from heavy fines of course, whilst it can do nothing about the real criminals who will remain out of reach in countries such as Russia and China who will continue to flood pirated and copied goods into Europe.

We all know that the EU is one of the most corrupt organisations of modern times with billions going missing every year, and along with the audit office refusing to sign off the accounts due to massive fraud on a staggering multi billion pound scale, they have the audacity to try and force through Super state EU wide laws when they cannot even get their own corrupt house in order. 

Blair and his no hopers want much more of this sort of thing, a UK that does not have to make laws and can leave it to un-elected dictators. He has already said we cannot have a referendum of the constitution after we were promised and now German chancellor Angela Merkel has indicated Berlin is going to leave as much of the EU constitution intact as possible making only the minimum changes needed to get sceptical nations such as the UK, Poland and the Czech Republic on board.

The Popular Alliance ask you all ( no matter which party you serve or follow ) to DEMAND a referendum on withdrawal from the EU, tell these prostrating UK Euro loving politicians that we want to make our own laws, and that we would do a better job of it as an independent self governing nation.

Lets tell Merkel, Blair, Cameron, Ming and all the other undemocratic crackpots to shove it where the sun don’t shine.
