Brexit - What Happened to Patriotism ?

BREXIT –  WHAT HAPPENED TO PATRIOTISM ?                           

 

PATRIOTISM is the love of ones country. While people may not like all the things that happen in their name or within the country they still have a love for their country. A majority of the people in the United Kingdom are mostly patriotic, honest, hard working, God fearing, tax paying citizens who over the last 40 years have seen their lives and that of their families, communities and country change. They expect the politicians that they elected in 2017, on promises of honouring BREXIT, to carry out their duty and respect the wishes of the electorate. It is a pity that the majority of MPs, who stood in a constituency, made promises and then used a party system, or the good will of many volunteers, to get elected to represent these people, appear to be disloyal and unpatriotic, showing a total lack of love for our country and a lack of consideration for the wishes of their constituents.

 

During a rich history many people, both at home and abroad, have served to defend our freedom and the way of life that we appreciate. They have been prepared, patriotically, to put their lives on the line and some have been injured, suffered life changing injuries or made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of sovereign and country. They answer the ultimate question, “ Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country” and we owe them our full support to make sure that the sacrifices of the past were not in vein

 

What right do the “FANATICAL REMAINER REBELS” have to change the outcome of the “PEOPLES VOTE”  Throughout history, convention has been that people who do not vote have to accept the decision of the majority as do those who lost the vote.

 

The people own the country and while politicians may come and go, banks and businesses will rise and fall, the country and its people will remain and therefore the people deserve to be listened to as they will have to live with the consequences of what happens now

.

They expect to see the United Kingdom “REGAIN” its Independence, its Sovereignty and its place on the World Stage.

BREXIT - THE BOTTOM LINE.

BREXIT –   The BOTTOM LINE.                              

 

The BOTTOM LINE for the ORDINARY PEOPLE of the UK, who voted to LEAVE the European Union, the EU, in a clean break with no strings attached, is that we LEAVE on the 29^th. March 2019. They DO NOT want to see the UK completely loose its identity by being absorbed into an undemocratic Franco-German United States of Europe. They DO want to see the UK regain its Independence, its Sovereignty and its place on the World Stage. They expect the politicians that they elected in 2017, on promises of honouring BREXIT, to carry out their duty and respect the wishes of the electorate.

 

These are mostly patriotic, honest, hard working, God fearing, tax paying citizens who over the last 40 years have seen their lives and that of their families, communities and country change. They appreciate that leaving with No Deal is not CRASHING OUT, as many of the Fanatical Remain Rebels would have us believe through their constant Scaremongering and Project Fear, as much work has been going on behind the scenes to enable a Managed No Deal to happen on WTO terms

In a People’s Vote, a referendum held on the 26th. June 2016, out of the 46 million people eligible to vote, only 16.1 million voted for the UK to REMAIN in the EU, which is only 35 per cent. Unfortunately it would appear that the majority of the MPs, thought to be around 60 per cent, want the UK to REMAIN in the EU and they are placing their personal agendas ahead of the wishes of their constituents. Now that THE PEOPLE have had their say, by voting to LEAVE the EU, they expect their MPs to respect that decision.

 

It needs to be made clear to Career Politicians that they were elected to represent the Constituency and that they should be responsible to the people who elected them. It is not acceptable to use the Party Machine, and the good will of the volunteers, to get themselves elected so that they can put their CV first, the party second and if there is any time left over the country third.

 

Many people either have a loved one, or know of somebody, who has served and been injured, suffered life changing injuries or made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can benefit from the advantages of FREEDOM, and it would be unforgivable for us to ignore their courage, efforts and sacrifices.

 

THE BOTTOM LINE FOR THE UK IS INDEPENDENCE FROM THE EU.

BREXIT - WHAT ABOUT THE £48 billion PAID OUT BY THE UK GOVERNMENT EACH YEAR.

BREXIT –   WHAT ABOUT THE £48 billion PAID OUT BY THE UK GOVERNMENT EACH YEAR.                              

 

The UK Government gives away the first £48 billion of the money that it raises in taxes, approximately 8 per cent of the total, to rich people, bankers, investors and the worst part is that 28 per cent of that amount is given to foreign investors. Think what life would be like if the Government had an extra £48 billion to put into the economy to spend on the NHS, the Police Force, the Armed Forces, Education, Cash strapped Councils and Local Authorities etc.

 

So why do the Government have to give away so much of the money that they have raised in taxes before they have money to spend on the things that are important to the tax payers who have contributed to that amount. After 40 years as a member of the EU, one thing that we have been left with is a National Debt of £1.8 trillion, that is £1,800 billion. When the Conservatives took over from Labour, and there was that famous remark that there was no money left, not only had they spent all the money raised through taxation but it appears that they had borrowed £1 trillion, £1,000 billion, and spent all of that as well. While Gordon Brown appeared to managing our economy he was doing it on mostly borrowed money and we all know that eventually a day of reckoning will come around. Unfortunately due to certain things that had been put in place the Conservative Government, which always claims to be the Government of Low Taxation, didn’t appear to get control of the situation, despite introducing austerity measure and quantitive easing, still carried on borrowing and now that National Debt is at £1.8 trillion.

 

If we were to remain in the EU, with a National Debt of £1.8 trillion, nearly as big as our annual GDP figure, approximately 90 per cent which is higher than the 60 per cent limit set by the EU, and growing by the minute, which currently costs the UK £48 billion pre year in interest cost, 28 percent of which goes abroad to foreign investors, a trade deficit of £7 billion per month with the EU and the Government budget being in deficit and needing to be supported by further borrowing it would only be a matter of time before the UK exhausted its credibility and needed a BAIL-OUT from the EU. At that moment the UK would be finished on the world stage with no individual identity and absorbed as just a state of the EU. Any experience of austerity so far would be nothing compared to what would be imposed if the EU was given the total control of our affairs and the Euro was forced upon us, but imagine Germany’s approach if they were given the chance of dominating the UK

.

The whole situation appears to be a Lack of Management  by Governments.

BREXIT - The PEOPLE voted to Leave the EU.

BREXIT –   The PEOPLE voted to LEAVE the EU.                              

 

The People of the UK voted to LEAVE the European Union, the EU, in a People’s Vote, a referendum held on the 26^th. June 2016. These are mostly patriotic, honest, hard working, tax paying citizens who over the last 50 years have seen their lives, and that of their families, communities and country change while having no say in what was happening. Now they have had their say by voting to LEAVE the EU, and they expect their MPs to respect that decision.

 

THE PEOPLE voted to leave the EU with no deal if that ended up being the only option left on the table. They appreciate that leaving with No Deal is not crashing out, as many of the Fanatical Remain Rebels would have us believe, as much work has been going on behind the scenes to enable a Managed No Deal to happen on WTO terms.  

THE PEOPLE were encouraged that following  a vote by 498 politicians Article 50 was triggered. It gave notice of the countries intention to leave and gave 2 years to negotiate an exit deal. When the UK triggered Article 50 the People thought that once in motion it could not be stopped or extended except by unanimous agreement. While it was expected that the period would be used to make agreements, there is no legal requirement to do so, and at the end of the period the country will leave with or without a deal. They also expected companies and civil servants to use the time to put in place what would be needed to ensure an organised departure. The default position is that we leave on the 29^th. March 2019, any Agreements that could be made that would make our LEAVING easier or smoother would be appreciated but are not necessary. It would appear that we were lied to about that and instead of everybody working for the best deal for the UK, the Fanatical Remainer Rebels, the Pro-EU activists, are using political procedures to frustrate and alter that.

THE PEOPLE know that we are not leaving Europe. If it hadn’t been for the UK and its friends and allies from around the world there wouldn’t be a FREE EUROPE. Too many people spilt their blood and made the ultimate sacrifice to release countries from being controlled and run by Germany for us to turn our back on it. They know that we are leaving the European Union, the EU, and especially the direct control from Brusells, so that we do not become a Province in a German lead Superstate, the United States of Europe.

THE PEOPLE expect the politicians that they elected in 2017, on promises of honouring BREXIT, to carry out their duty and respect the wishes of the electorate.

BREXIT - TIME TO END 50 YEARS OF LIES.

BREXIT –   TIME TO END  50  YEARS OF  LIES.                              

 

Since we started the last 50 years of closer association with our European neighbours across the channel we have been involved in one continuous flow of lies. The only truth is that we should never have joined the Common Market, which turned into the European Union, in the first place.

 

It all started in the early nineteen seventies when Ted Heath, the then Prime Minister, lied to Parliament to get them to agree to the UK joining the Common Market, which it did on 1^st. January 1973.

There was a certain amount of unrest in the country over the way that the UK had been taken into the Common Market and in 1975, Harold Wilson, the then Prime Minister, agreed to hold a Referendum on 5^th. June with the simple question to REMAIN or to LEAVE. The result was 67 per cent in favour of REMAIN. Note that there were no protest about the result as the REMAIN campaigners, the then

Pro-European Activists, had got the result that they wanted.

Unfortunately at the time the electorate were not made aware of what had happened and that by voting REMAIN they were agreeing to the UK participating in a process that would change from a Trading Agreement into a Political involvement in a Federal States of Europe with Germany at its head. If they had been made aware of this intention there is a good chance that virtually nobody would have voted to REMAIN. There were a few people who tried to question where this might end up but they were shut down by claims that it was “Purely a Trading Agreement”.

The lies continued as political change moved on and we were told that the UK would remain a Sovereign Nation and benefit from being part of a large, stable and successful International association. There was never any mention of the fact that the UK being involved gave the EU a certain amount of credibility around the world. John Major, the then Prime Minister, actually lied to us when he signed the Maastrict Treaty, which he told us was a “tidying up exercise”, but actually transferred OUR SOVERERGNTY from London to Brussels.

Despite the commitment made to the electorate by David Cameron, the then Prime Minister, after having announced the Referendum that “ This is your decision. The Government will implement what you decide “, it is rumoured that he also made a promise to certain politicians and the EU that there was nothing to fear from giving the Ordinary People this vote. There were many lies told in the run up to the referendum in a campaign of Project Fear and Scaremongering which all ended up being unfounded.

 

On the 23^rd. June 2016 the people of the UK voted in a Referendum, a “Peoples Vote”, with a simple choice to REMAIN or to LEAVE, and they voted by a reasonable majority to LEAVE the EU in a clean break with NO ties, a “NO DEAL BREXIT”, to take back OUR Sovereignty, our national INDEPENDENCE and become an Global trading nation once again.

 

Following  a vote by 498 politicians Article 50 was triggered. It gives notice of a countries intention to leave and gives 2 years to negotiate an exit deal. When the UK triggered Article 50 it was thought that once in motion it could not be stopped or extended except by unanimous agreement. While it is expected that the period would be used to make agreements, there is no legal requirement to do so, and at the end of the period the country will leave with or without a deal. It would appear that we were lied to about that and the Fanatical Remainer Rebels are using political procedures to frustrate and alter that.

While over 400 parliamentarians voted to allow the Referendum to go ahead, they totally miscalculated the mood in the country towards the EU, and there is no way that they expected the result that they got. There is no way that certain members of the political elite, Pro-EU Activists, with personal interests in the EU, and career politicians with promises of lucrative career prospects, were going to accept anything other than a REMAIN vote.

There is no way that the British People want to be part of a European Union Superstate. They owe it to the people who made the ultimate sacrifice to secure and maintain our freedom, to break away from what successive Governments have got us into. We joined a trading agreement in good faith, perhaps in retrospect we were a bit naïve to expect something that sounded good to actually be so, but things were very different then, and we are still keen to involved in a Trading Agreement. We are not leaving Europe, we consider ourselves to be an integral part having fought for its freedom as well as our own, we are leaving the EU, and especially the direct control fro Brusells, so that we do not become a Province in a German lead Superstate, the United States of Europe. The EU already has its own flag, anthem, parliament, currency, embassies, executive laws and civil service, and now it is planning, following the signing of an agreement between Germany and France,, to create its own army. History would never forgive us if we voluntarily allowed the British Armed Forces to be controlled by Germany. There was life before the EU and Britain managed to enter unchartered areas and in most cases profit from the experience.

The Ordinary People have been heard but there is no way that they are being listened to, and yet again they are being lied to. The British people do not like being lied to but this time they are annoyed and frustrated because they are facing a revolt by the political elite, against their wishes, and they appear, despite having won the vote, to have NO CONTROL over how it is being handled.

 

MPs are meant to be the servants of the people, not the masters.

Brexit - Which part of LEAVE don't they understand ?

BREXIT –         WHICH PART OF LEAVE

DON’T THEY UNDERSTAND ?

On the 23^rd. June 2016 the people of the UK voted in a Referendum, a “Peoples Vote”, to LEAVE the EU in a clean break with NO ties, a “NO DEAL BREXIT”, to take back OUR Sovereignty, our national INDEPENDENCE and become an International trading nation once again.

 

 

Of the 46.5 million people who were eligible to vote on that day only 16.1 million voted to REMAIN which represents 35 per cent of the electorate. Convention has it that those who didn’t vote, or those who chose not to vote for some reason, have to accept the decision of the majority, as should the group who lost the vote.

Unfortunately a group of Fanatical Remainers, Pro-EU Activists, well organised and financed, who are part of the political elite, consider that they know what is better for the UK than the “Ordinary People”, and they are prepared to do anything to try to disrupt or reverse the outcome of that vote. They would have us believe that Britain would remain a Sovereign Nation as part of a stable, successful international association. John Major actually lied to us when he signed the Maastrict Treaty, which he told us was a “tidying up exercise”, but actually transferred OUR SOVERERGNTY from London to Brussels. If we REMAIN in the EU we will become a Province in a German lead Superstate. They have now moved on to various moves in Parliament where 63 per cent of the Commons is composed of Remainers. A revolt by the political elite against the Ordinary People, who despite winning the vote, appear to have no control over how it is being handled.

Remainers following their own agendas include Phillip Hammond, MP for Runnymede and Weybridge, current Chancellor, had 20,259 vote Remain which was 45 7 percent on the day and 34.8 percent of the constituents. In his acceptance speech on Election Day he said “I will do my best to represent the interests of my constituents”. Anna Soubry, Conservative MP for Broxtowe, had 29,672 vote Remain which was 45.5 percent on the day but only 35.5 percent of the constituents, She couldn’t even convince her own constituents to support her point of view and apparently a number are so unhappy that she is not representing them or their views that they are trying to get her deselected. Nick Boles, Conservative MP for Grantham and Stamford, had a 61 per cent LEAVE vote. Members in the Constituency have written in “outrage” about what he is saying and want him deselected. Yvette Cooper, Labour MP for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford, had a 70 per cent LEAVE vote, which makes her attempt to “STOP” a “NO DEAL BREXT” even more unbelievable.

BREXIT - The Arrogance of Fanatical Remain Rebel Politicians.

BREXIT –              THE ARROGANCE OF

FANATICAL REMAIN REBEL POLITICIANS.

 

The European Union Referendum Act 2015 was introduced by Phillip Hammond, the then Foreign Secretary, and on the 28^th. May 2015 it eas passed by 544 votes for and 53 votes against it. On the 14^th. Decenber 2015 it was passed by the House of Lords and on 17^th. December 2015 it got Royal Assent.

David Cameron, the Prime Minister at the time, after extensive negotiations with the EU and member countries thought that he had come up with a package that would be acceptable to the UK people. He arranged for a leaflet to be produced and delivered to every household in the UK. The leaflet titled “ Why The Government Believes That Voting To Remain In the European Union Is The Best Decision For The UK “, stated that:

 “ This is your decision. The Government will implement what you decide “.

The referendum, which was a true People’s Vote, was held on 23^rd. June 2016 and was meant to be a non political free vote. Out of the 46,501,241 people eligible to vote only 16,141,241 voted to Remain in the EU, that was 48 per cent of the 72 per cent turnout and is only 34.7 percent of the electorate. Even in Scotland, where Nicola Sturgen claimed an outright majority, the 1,661,191 who voted Remain only represent 41.7 percent of the electorate. All that Remainers had to do was to get more than 50 percent of the electorate to vote REMAIN and BREXIT would have been dead and the last two and a half years would have been entirely different, but they didn’t, and they couldn’t even win the vote on the day

 

More than 400 MPs were at odds with their constituencies by voting Remain in an area that voted Leave but most of them said that they would respect the result and support the BREXIT process. In the political areas 270 voted Leave, 67.7 per cent, while only 129 voted Remain, 32.3 per cent. and 74 per cent of Conservative constituencies voted Leave and 64 per cent of Labour constituencies also vote Leave.   

Almost all MPs should be BREXITEERS as virtually NONE of them has the support of the majority of their constituents to pursue  a Remain Agenda. A majority of the country wants an Independent UK with no EU string while it would appear that a majority of their elected MPs don’t want them to have it.

We want to remain an active part of Europe but not be controlled by the Brussels.
