The full extent of the police and criminal prosecution powers that the European Union has over British citizens can be revealed today.
A Mail on Sunday investigation has uncovered an alarming array of new EU controls over justice and home affairs for which no one has voted, and most are unknown to the public.
These include:
Europol, the £60 million-a-year European criminal intelligence agency, whose officers have diplomatic immunity.
An 800-strong paramilitary police force called the European Gendarmerie Force.
The European Arrest Warrant, which now allows British citizens to be seized in the UK and sent without appeal to foreign jails for months or years without bail while awaiting trial.
Europol now has more than 650 officials at its headquarters in The Hague, from where it directs investigations across Europe.
When its Euro police officers are operating in the UK they have diplomatic immunity and cannot be touched by the British judiciary.
Europol’s director is Rob Wainwright, 43, a Welsh-speaking former British civil servant who joined Europol last year. He and his officials will move into a new £8.5 million building next year.
The Rest…HERE
Welcome to your future. You have given it all away and you keep giving it all away. You have even given away your freedom in Britain. You cannot take pictures within your own country without fear of being arrested so why worry about Europe. It might even be better for you lads. So, suck it up and get ready. The good news is that Europe of 2050 will mostly be Muslim so you English lads will be way ahead since you are already there. I am surprised that good old England is not officiall bilingual: Arab and English. But, give it some time. Go Arsenal, go!
