BREXIT –  THE ARCHITECT, THE MOTIVATORS AND

                      THE 17.4 MILLION ORDINARY PEOPLE.

 

As an ordinary person, a common man, who is British by birth and English by the grace of God, who attended the school of hard knocks and gained a degree from the university of life, who’s working life has been based on survival and thinks that he has developed a reasonable sense of what is right or wrong, I have trouble understanding how, when we have a referendum, the people involved in getting the LEAVE result, the Architect, the Motivators and the 17.4 million ordinary people who turned out to vote and secure that result, are excluded from any form of involvement or representation in the implementation of the outcome.

 

What is even more puzzling and concerning is how the Remainers, who lost the vote, think that they have the right to change the result, or even have it cancelled, and are prepared to use all kind of tactics to achieve their desired outcome including character assassination. The Architect, Nigel Farage, who through his experience as an MEP, being on the inside and having hands on experience of how the EU operates and having been involved for over 25 years should be advising a LEAVE committee on how to deal with the EU, not having to deal with sometime vile attacks, which affect him and his family, at every move or suggestion that he makes. One of the Motivators, Boris Johnson, who was trusted by the LEAVE voters to ensure that their views were represented and fought for at the top table, during his time as Foreign Secretary was constantly being criticised with senior people, some from his own party, demanding that Mrs. May should sack him. He had to be placed in an unacceptable position where he had no option but to resign, on a matter of principle, and the damage to his reputation even has members of his own party questioning his suitability and motives. Then there are the 17.4 million Ordinary People who the Remainers have claimed are idiotic, moronic, misinformed and too stupid to understand and are incapable of taking a major national decision and that they must therefore be overruled. The people who voted LEAVE, include the silent majority, mostly well informed patriotic citizens, who based their decisions on over 40 years of membership. They voted to LEAVE and expected it to be a clean break with NO EU STRINGS ATTACHED

 

In a recent European Commission Study, which was reported in the Sunday Express 30th. December 2018, “Brussels only trusted by 40 % of EU citizens”, it showed that only 31% of UK citizens trusted Brussels. This is directly in line with the result of the referendum where only 35% of the UK electorate voted to remain in the EU.

 

The last gravy train leaves the UK on the 29th. March 2019, after that time people who continue to promote Remain will be treated like those who do “antisocial behaviour”.

GOING TO HELL IN A HAND CART.


GOING TO HELL IN A HAND CART.

 
I have read that in 2010 the   Prime Minister David Cameron    “ inherited a country on the brink of financial ruin ” and that he and the Chancellor George Osborne have turned things around to make Britain “ one of the worlds fastest growing economies ”. But at what cost ?  Developing their own personal international reputations and securing their places on the gravy train along side Tony Blair, while giving away our independence.


When they came into office the National Debt stood at below £1 trillion  and now it stands at over £1.5 trillion. That is £1,500 billion, the equivalent of £24,500 for everybody in the UK and it costs us £48 billion a year just to service that debt, paying interest and administration costs, which is 8% of the Government’s budget. By the end of this parliament that cost will have risen to £60 billion for the year 2019/20, nearly 10% of that budget, more than we spend on Education and most our Armed Forces combined. While we have a budget deficit and a trade deficit I can not see how we can stop the national debt from increasing let alone start to reduce it. Instead of smoke and mirrors what happened to living within our means and a policy of transparency.

What ever they claim to do to reduce the National Debt it doesn’t appear to even miss a beat as it continues to increase at what I believe to be about £5,000 per second.. In November, in his statement, he told us how well things were going and how he had managed to find £27billion and how it would benefit everybody. Less than two months later he is giving a warning about the risks the country could face economically in the near future if we don’t follow his advice and stick to his policies.
