A remarkable woman
One of Britain's most remarkable women is currently touring New Zealand. Baroness Caroline Cox is, among other things, the deputy Speaker in the House of Lords, and founder of the organisation Christian Solidarity Worldwide, which advocates on behalf of people of all races and faiths who suffer oppression around the world. She has tramped many times into areas which despotic regimes have tried to put off-limits to Western journalists or observers, to stand alongside people who are suffering incredible hardships. She is a strong campaigner for truth and justice.
One of the issues which really gets Lady Caroline going is the growth of the European Union, and the way Britain is rapidly handing over its sovereignty. She is a supporter of the UK Independence Party, formed in 1993, which had remarkable success in the recent EU elections, and which is dedicated to cutting back the tentacles of the EU octopus.
Forty percent of British laws are now made in Brussels, and the British public seems to be remarkably accepting of the way in which they are being taken over. Some, however, are fighting back. Global Britain, formed by three House of Lords MPs, is one organisation dedicated to restoring British sovereignty.
