Views

An article in the Western Morning News introduces le Bailly's views as follows:

Vice-Admiral Louis le Bailly links Euro-supporting Tories with the New Left that succeeded them and blames both for the nation's subjugation by Europe [2]

Bailly himself writes:

It was a wise Cambridge don, next to whom I once sat at dinner in his college, who warned me in 1973 of what was happening to our education system and how the French professors were combining to confront the danger, but it was not until I became Vice-Chairman of the Institute for the Study of Conflict in 1976 that I realised Professor Schapiro, the chairman, and his brave director Brian Crozier had issued the same warning some years before, with less success in our already penetrated State educational establishment. No one of stature listened and the deceitful politicians of all three main parties (but primarily Heath and the Conservatives) joined the "Long March" and betrayed Britain... The New Left - or, as they now call themselves, New Labour, happily treading the path set by treasonable Conservatives - are in the van of the Long March: iconoclasts to a man and woman, pullers-down, inter alia, of our parliamentary institutions now that our State education has been successfully infiltrated. They are part of the second hiccup our democracy has suffered since Magna Carta in 1215, and a far more dangerous and devastating hiccup this one is proving to be. Great Britain has been brought to the very edge of the precipice and the final shove is gathering strength and almost ready...
Yet with the Conservative legacy of betrayal well sustained, with a steady flow of immigrants of different (and differing) cultures and 70 per cent of our laws now emanating from a source we can neither elect nor dismiss, at a cost to each of us (at present) of £100,000 per minute or £873 per person per year, this is what is happening.[3]
