Brexit – To Remain or Not to Remain.
To remain or not to remain, that was the question. Whether
it would be better for the UK and its people to continue the indignity of being
a subordinate member of a mostly Franco-German controlled EU run by unelected
bureaucrats based in Brussels or to take the decision to leave and once again play
a role on the worldwide stage as an independent self governing country, before
it was too late.
In the People’s Vote, which was a Referendum held on 26th.June
2016, which we were promised would be a once only vote, free from political
influence, the outcome of which would be honoured and acted upon, and which no
person, group of persons, Government, organisation or MPs could change, only 35
percent of the population voted to remain. ( Brexit -The Real Majority )
The REMAIN campaigners, who seem to be concentrated in the
M25 bubble, and who appear to have personal interests in continued membership
of the EU and believe that they alone know better what is best for the UK and
its people, drastically underestimated the feeling in the rest of the UK.
The 65 percent of the population, who support LEAVE, include
the silent majority who finally had a chance to have a say in their future, not
constantly being told what they can and cannot do. They were not idiotic,
moronic, misinformed and too stupid to understand as claimed by Remainers, but
mostly well informed patriotic citizens, who do not like being bullied or
talked down to, but based their decisions on over 40 years of membership and
how it has affected and shaped their lives and communities and what sort of
future they see and would like for themselves and their families.
We voted to Leave the EU and the question had nothing to do
with how. We didn’t vote to leave the EU if Brussels would allow us to, we
didn’t vote to leave but still be controlled by Brussels, therefore the only
question that should act as an attention grabber is, when we leave, do the 27
other countries want to continue to supply us with the £20.8 billion worth of goods and services each
month, £7 billion over and above what we supply to them, or not? If so then
they are running out of time to come up with an offer acceptable to us before
we have to seriously start looking at alternatives.
It is time that all politicians started to put the UK FIRST.
